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, Steel Media (“Steel Media”) (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 platform delivering the tools to reach and reveal valuable audiences. 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.

We derive our revenue 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;

· sales and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and,

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

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, and on a monthly service fee.

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

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 Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2016 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited 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 interim three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 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, 2016, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, as amended on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) as filed with the SEC on April 28, 2017.

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, development of internally used software and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. Our general, selling and administrative expenses decreased from $3,851,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3,659,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $11,082,581 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $11,395,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We incurred a loss of $4,074,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $2,375,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and incurred losses of $6,836,958 and $2,904,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,226,961. As of September 30, 2017, we had $216,409 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $11,075,405 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. We are currently experiencing a period of limited liquidity resulting from the complete repayment of senior secured notes associated with a financing agreement previously held by Victory Park Management, LLC and the repurchase of the Series B Warrants in April 2017. Additionally, we were notified in May 2017 that Victory Park Management, LLC had exercised its put right for the repurchase of the Financing Warrant which amounts to $1,500,000.  See Note 8 for a further discussion of this obligation.

During January 2017, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Victory Park Management, LLC financing agreement utilizing proceeds from the factoring of our receivables and sales of our securities. While the repayment of the amounts owed under this financing agreement is expected to result in overall savings to us through the elimination of both the associated interest expense as well as the internal costs related to the reporting obligations under its terms, the repayment of these notes have adversely impacted our current liquidity. To address the immediate impact of this decreased liquidity, we developed certain operating plans that focus on increased profitability growth through higher gross margin sales and cost reductions as further described herein. If our revenue increases throughout the next twelve months as anticipated, additional liquidity is expected to be readily available under our accounts receivable factoring agreement with FastPay Partners, LLC (“FastPay”). See Note 8 for a further discussion of this agreement.

In March 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring program targeted to deliver cost savings in 2017 and beyond. Under the restructuring program, the Company made certain reductions in staffing and a restructuring of sales management compensation, delayed certain previously budgeted expenditures, eliminated certain operating expenses, simplified our organizational structure, including greater consolidation of our sales force and support functions, and extended payments to certain vendors. We recognized certain one-time costs amounting to $377,961 related to the restructuring. Although, we anticipate increasing our revenue streams, we believe our primary objective should evolve around profitability instead of revenue and market share each of which relate to, but do not necessarily drive profit.

Accordingly, the Company has taken several actions to continue to support its operations and meet its obligations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Our future success depends upon our ability to 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 revenue and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. It is uncertain whether the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations.

In addition to increasing sales, lowering costs, and a more aggressive approach in managing our accounts payable, our plan to continue as a going concern also included raising additional capital through borrowing and/or additional sales of equity or equity linked securities. In April 2017, we entered a definitive securities purchase agreement which provided $5,000,000 in additional capital allowing us to satisfy certain warrant put obligations as further discussed in Note 10.  In October 2017, we entered into an additional definitive securities purchase agreement which provided for an additional $5,180,158 of capital that allowed us to satisfy all amounts due under the Financing Warrant, as well as partially reduce our working capital deficit through payment of certain outstanding payables.

THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

(Unaudited)

We acknowledge that 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 were required to fund cash used in operating and investing activities with cash provided by financing activities. We expect that the actions initiated in 2017 will enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility toward the beginning of 2018.  We also announced several new revenue initiatives that could provide additional revenue growth opportunities beginning in the second half of 2018.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the actions discussed above are probable of occurring and mitigating the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfying our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, while not expected, we may not be able to access additional funds and we might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to us under terms and conditions that are favorable to our success. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to services that are important to the operation of our business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. The outcome of these plans cannot be predicted at this time.

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation

In September 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. 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 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 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 $91,172 and $254,875 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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, 2017, four customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 84%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, five customers accounted for 52% of total revenue. At December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 61%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, one customer accounted for 49% 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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, 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 three to six years. The Company capitalizes 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

No impairment of goodwill has been recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized an impairment of goodwill that amounted to $670,000, 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016, respectively.

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 6,254,705 common share equivalents at September 30, 2017 and 2,912,069 common share equivalents at September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 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 consolidated 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 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.

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, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) which provides improvements to employee share-based accounting transactions. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

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. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-13 on our unaudited 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. The amendments in Part II of this update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated 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 is currently evaluating the impact of 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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU No. 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statements of cash flows. ASU No. 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 No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in June 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 April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606), which amends certain aspects of the FASB’s new revenue standard, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). ASU No. 2016-10 identifies performance obligations and provides licensing implementation guidance. The effective date for ASU No. 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. 2016-08, 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 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.

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

In June 2016, the Company determined that the second earn out consideration target related to the Steel Media acquisition would not be achieved. As such, the Company reversed the liability related to the second earn out target of $3,744,496 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completely repaid the Financing Notes and made principal and PIK interest repayments in the amount of $3,996,928.

Notes payable consisted of the following at December 31, 2016:

We incurred a total of $3,164,352 of costs related to the Financing Agreement. These costs were amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $250,100, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $578,140 and $816,705, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense. As of September 30, 2017, all deferred debt issuance costs have been completely amortized.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $206,287, respectively, were recorded as PIK interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $447,736, 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. We recorded the put liability at its present value of $1,500,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. On October 27, 2017, the obligation was paid in full. As of September 30, 2017, the accrued interest on put liability was $51,323.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, $51,323 was recorded as PIK interest expense.

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 September 30, 2017, $2,100,539 of accounts receivable purchased by FastPay remain outstanding and are subject to repurchase under the terms of the FastPay Agreement.

NOTE 9 – PUT WARRANT LIABILITY

As more fully described in Note 11, the Company issued Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants in connection with a securities purchase agreement dated January 4, 2017. The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of derivative warrant instruments. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments has been calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes 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).

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the warrants issued. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company 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, the Company 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.

In April 2017, the Company repurchased the Series B Warrants for $2,500,000 and recognized a loss on the repurchase amounting to $2,053,975. Fair value at September 30, 2017 of the Series A Warrants was estimated to be $757,476 and based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.75%, an expected term of 5 years, an expected volatility of 109% and a 0% dividend yield.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $432,035 was recorded as a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $1,934,663 was recorded as a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability.

As a result of the sale of the Debentures (see Note 10), the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued to investors in our January 2017 private offering was reset to $2.245 per share. The Company recognized a loss on the repricing of these warrants amounting to $99,820.

NOTE 10 – 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. Upon any optional redemption, we are obligated to issue the holder five-year warrant Series B warrants, the terms of which will be identical to the Debenture Warrants, to purchase a number of shares of our Class A common stock as shall equal 50% of conversion shares issuable on an as-converted basis as if the principal amount of the Debenture had been converted immediately prior to the optional redemption. In the event of future financings by us, subject to certain exempt issuances, the holders have the right to cause us to allocate 20% of the proceeds we may receive as a mandatory redemption of a portion of the principal amount then outstanding. We are also required to redeem the Debentures upon our failure to maintain certain financial covenants which include a minimum monthly current ratio, a maximum quarterly corporate expense ratio, and maintain minimum quarterly revenue and EBITDA related to SRAXmd. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with all financial covenants.

The Debenture also contains certain customary events of default (including, but not limited to, default in payment of principal or interest thereunder, breaches of covenants, agreements, representations or warranties thereunder, the occurrence of an event of default under certain material contracts of the Company, changes in control of the Company and the entering or filing of certain monetary judgments against the Company). Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus liquidated damages, interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. The Company is also subject to certain customary non-financial covenants under the Debenture. The Debenture holders were granted board observation rights so long as the lead investor continues to hold the Debentures.

If we fail to timely deliver the shares of our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Debenture Warrants we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and Debenture Warrants, a holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Debentures or exercise any portion of the Debenture Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and the Debenture Warrants; provided that after the Shareholder Approval Date, as defined below, at the election of a holder and notice to us such percentage ownership limitation may be increased or decreased to any other percentage, not to exceed 9.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered from the holder to us.

In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, until such time as our stockholders have approved the Securities Purchase Agreements and the transactions thereunder (the "Shareholder Approval Date"), we were not obligated to issue any shares of our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Debentures and/or exercise of the Debenture Warrants, and the holders had no right to receive upon conversion and/or exercise thereof any shares of our Class A common stock, to the extent the issuance of such shares of Class A common stock would exceed 20% of our outstanding Class A common stock prior to the transaction. 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 the Securities Purchaser Agreements, we also granted the Purchasers of the Debentures the right to purchase an additional $3,000,000 of Debentures upon the same terms and conditions for a period beginning on the Shareholder Approval Date and expiring on earliest of the date that (a) the initial registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, (b) all of the underlying shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for our company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (c) following the one year anniversary of the closing date provided that a holder of the underlying shares is not an affiliate of the Company or (d) all of the underlying shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. The shares underlying the Debentures and Debenture Warrants were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC in June 2017.

Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan Capital”), Noble Capital Markets, Inc. ("Noble") and Aspenwood Capital (an independent branch of Colorado Financial Services Corporation) (“Aspenwood”), all broker-dealers and members of FINRA, acted as either our placement agent or a finder in connection with the sale of the securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements. In addition, an affiliate of Noble purchased Debentures amounting to $720,000 and was issued Debenture Warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of our Class A common stock in this offering. We paid aggregate cash commissions amounting to $276,700 to these broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the Debentures. Additionally, we issued Chardan Capital placement agent warrants ("Chardan Placement Agent Warrants") to purchase 100,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share which are exercisable for 5.5 years commencing six months from the issuance date. We issued Noble placement agent warrants (“Noble Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 66,800 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share which will become exercisable six months from the date of issuance. We also issued Colorado Financial Service Corporation and its designees warrants (“Aspenwood Warrants”) to purchase 7,700 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share which are exercisable for 5.5 years commencing six months from the issuance date. We included the shares underlying the Chardan Placement Agent Warrants, the Noble Placement Agent Warrants, and the Aspenwood Warrants in the aforedescribed resale registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC in June 2017.

The net proceeds to us from the offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $4,636,629. We utilized $2,500,000 of the net proceeds to satisfy a put obligation under the Series B Warrants issued to investors in a registered direct offering that we conducted in January 2017 as described in Note 11. The balance of the net proceeds was used to pay down accounts payable and satisfy other working capital requirements.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

On January 4, 2017, the Company entered a definitive securities purchase agreement with two fundamental institutional investors (the “Investors”) for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of: (i) 761,905 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock; and (ii) five-year Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) representing the right to acquire up an additional 380,953 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The shares of our Class A common stock and the Series B Warrants were sold in a registered direct offering and we received gross proceeds of $3,980,001. Simultaneously we conducted a private placement with the same Investors for no additional consideration of Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) representing the right to acquire up to an additional 380,953 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $6.70 per share. The Series A Warrants are exercisable for five years commencing 6 months from the date of closing of the private sale of the Series A Warrants to the Investors.

The exercise price of the Series A Warrants is subject to full ratchet adjustment in certain circumstances, subject to a floor price of $1.20 per share. The adjustment provisions under the terms of the Series A Warrants will be extinguished at such time as our Class A common stock trades at or above $10.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions. In addition, if there is no effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants, the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. If we fail to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants, we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. As a result of the sale of the Debentures, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued to investors in our January 2017 private offering were reset to $2.245 per share.

Beginning 100 days after the issuance date of the Series B Warrants, at any time the market price of our Class A common stock is less than $5.25 per share, the holders had the right to exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis for shares of our Class A common stock calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Series B Warrants. We had the right, in lieu of delivery of such shares of our Class A common stock, to pay the holder of the Series B Warrants being exercised on a cashless basis, a specified amount in cash, with a maximum cash payment of $2,500,000. The holders of the Series B Warrants exercised their right in April 2017 and we repurchased the Series B Warrants for $2,500,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock option expense of $90,038 and $66,588, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock option expense of $308,908 and $181,650, respectively.

In November 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 Company’s 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 paid the Consultant an additional $50,000 for expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company is recognizing the value of the services rendered over the term of the Consulting Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, the Consultant has not yet attained any of the milestones contained within the Consulting Agreement and the Company reversed $275,637 of expense related to the Consulting Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, it was determined that the Company would not extend the Consulting Agreement with the Consultant.

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered an Investor Relations and Consulting Agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with Al & J Media, Inc. (“Consultant”). The Company engaged the Consultant to provide certain consulting services on behalf of the Company as are more fully described in the Consulting Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, which expires on December 15, 2017, the Company engaged Al & J Media, Inc. to provide a variety of advisory and consulting services to the Company, including introducing the Company to potential sources of media, marketing agreement(s) and/or other strategic alliances which may benefit the Company in the performance of implementing its business plan(s), including but not limited to radio and television media spots; various media publications; and internet podcasts. As compensation for such services, the Company will issue Al & J Media, Inc. 75,000 shares valued at $97,500 of its Class A common stock on September 15, 2017. 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 three months ended September 30, 2017.

Reverse Stock Split

In September 2016, the Company completed a reverse stock split whereby 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Malcolm Casselle, a member of our board of directors, is the Chief Technology Officer and President of New Ventures of Tronc, Inc. (“Tronc”), one of our major advertisers. At June 30, 2017, Tronc owed us $1,042,000, net of liabilities owed Tronc. The majority of the net amount outstanding relates to a number of transactions with Tronc and a predecessor company controlled by Tronc that dates back to the second quarter 2016.   On August 25, 2017, Social Reality, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Tronc for breach of contract, fraudulent concealment and deceptive business practices (case number 1:17-cv-05998, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). We have alleged that Tronc, Inc. and Tribune Content Agency, LLC refused to perform their contractual obligations and breached the terms of contract and insertion orders, causing us to suffer close to $35 million in damages. We are seeking a judgment in the amount of the damages as well as costs and such other relief as the court may award.

Mr. Steven Antebi, a principal stockholder in the Company, served as a consultant to the Company. We paid him $540,000 and $0 for services provided to us during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, through the issuance of shares of our Class A common stock.

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.

On August 25, 2017 Social Reality, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Tronc, Inc. (formerly Tribune Publishing Company LLC) and Tribune Content Agency, LLC for breach of contract, fraudulent concealment and deceptive business practices (case number 1:17-cv-05998, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). We have alleged that Tronc, Inc. and Tribune Content Agency, LLC refused to perform their contractual obligations and breached the terms of contract and insertion orders, causing us to suffer close to $35 million in damages. We are seeking a judgment in the amount of the damages as well as costs and such other relief as the court may award.

The Company is not currently a party to any other 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 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Between October 2, 2017 and October 17, 2017, multiple investors in the Company’s April 2017 debenture financing converted an aggregate of $655,000 of debentures into 218,334 shares of Class A common stock.

On October 17, 2017, one investor in the Company’s April 2017 debenture financing exercised 83,334 Series A common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $250,002.

On October 17, 2017, 70,409 shares issued to our Chief Financial Officer as outlined in his October 17, 2016 employment agreement.

On October 17, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing it has engaged financial advisors to explore strategic alternatives for the company's SRAXmd business.

On October 26, 2017, the Company entered into definitive securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain prior accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of: (i) $5,180,157.78 in principal amount of 12.5% secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures"); and (ii) five year Series A common stock purchase warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) representing the right to acquire up to 863,365 shares of our Class A common stock (the “Offering”) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Offering includes (i) $2,000,000 of Debentures and Series A Warrants pursuant to the exercise of a green shoe (“Green Shoe”) provision contained in the transaction documents for the purchase and sale of the Prior Debentures (as defined below) and (ii) $3,180,157.78 of additional Debentures. The Debentures and Series A Warrants are being sold for a combination of cash and the cancellation of debt or receivables.

The Debentures, which mature on April 21, 2020, 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 January 1, 2018.  Our obligations under the Debentures are secured pari passu with the debentures previously issued in April 2017 (“Prior Debentures”).  The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter described.

The Debentures are being issued in two series, Series A-1 Debentures (“A-1 Debentures”) and Series A-2 Debentures (“A-2 Debentures”).  The Company will issue (i) $2,000,000 in A-1 Debentures and (ii) $3,180,157.78 in A-2 Debentures. The A-1 Debentures and A-2 Debentures are substantially the same except that the A-1 Debentures (i) we approved for issuance on June 23, 2017 by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Green Shoe and (ii) have a conversion price floor of $1.40 with regard to anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales at a price lower than 120% of the then applicable conversion price.  The A-2 Debentures have a conversion price floor of $3.00 until such time as the Company receives shareholder approval for the transaction.  The Company has agreed to hold a meeting of the shareholders (“Shareholder Meeting”) on or prior to seventy-five (75) days following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement to obtain shareholder approval in connection with the transaction, including, without limitation, to reduce the floor price with regard to the anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales to $1.40 (on par with the A-1 Debentures).

Subject to our compliance with certain equity conditions (as more fully 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 Common warrants, the terms of which will be identical to the Series A Warrants, to purchase a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to 50% of the conversion shares issuable on an as-converted basis as if the principal amount of the Debenture had been converted immediately prior to the optional redemption. In the event of future financings by us, subject to certain exempt issuances, the holders have the right to cause us to allocate 20% of the proceeds we receive to redeem a portion of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures. We are also required to redeem the Debentures, at the holder’s right, upon our failure to maintain certain financial covenants as further described in the Debentures.

The Debentures also contain certain customary events of default (including, but not limited to, default in payment of principal or interest thereunder, breaches of covenants, agreements, representations or warranties thereunder, the occurrence of an event of default under certain material contracts of the Company, changes in control of the Company and the entering or filing of certain monetary judgments against the Company). Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture for a premium, plus liquidated damages, interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.  The Company is also subject to certain negative covenants under the Debenture, including but not limited to, the creation of certain debt obligations, liens on Company assets, amending its charter documents, repayment or repurchase of securities or certain debt of the Company, or the payment of dividends.

The Series A Warrants are being issued as follows: (i) 333,335 issued pursuant to the Green Shoe and in connection with A-1 Debentures and (ii) 530,030 are being issued in connection with the A-2 Debentures.  The Series A Warrants issued pursuant to the A-1 Debentures and A-2 Debentures have the same form.  The Series A Warrants are initially exercisable at $3.00 per share and, are subject to cashless exercise after six months if the shares underlying the warrants are not subject to an effective resale registration statement. The Series A Warrants also contain anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales for a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, with a floor of $1.40.

The conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the Series A 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 the $1.40 and $3.00 floor described above). If we fail to timely deliver the shares of our Common Stock upon any conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Series A Warrants, we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and Series A Warrants, a holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Debentures or exercise any portion of the Series A Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and the Series A Warrants; provided that at the election of a holder and notice to us such percentage ownership limitation may be increased to 9.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered from the holder to the Company.

The Company also agreed to use up to approximately $1.57 million in proceeds from the Offering to pay a $1.5 million put obligation of an outstanding common stock purchase warrant issued in October 2014 (the “Financing Warrant”) plus $.07 million in accrued interest on the amount outstanding.

As of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company had 8,605,018 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. As such, under the Nasdaq Market Place Rules, we are authorized to issue up to 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares, or 1,720,143 shares. The shares of Common Stock underlying the A-2 Debentures and accompanying Series A Warrants are an aggregate of 1,590,081 shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding, we are obligated to submit the Offering at the Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of reducing the floor conversion price of the A-2 Debentures as discussed above. In connection with this transaction, we will issue to our Placement Agents (as defined below), an aggregate of 183,337 common stock purchase warrants (“PA Warrants”) as follows: (i) 129,176 PA Warrants will have an exercise price of $3.75 per share and (ii) 54,161 PA Warrants will have an exercise price of $4.49 (the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock prior to the Securities Purchase Agreement). The PA Warrants are substantially similar to the Series A Warrants, except that the PA Warrants have a term of five and one half (5.5) years, are not exercisable until the six (6) month anniversary of the issuance date, and contain no anti-dilution protection.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), we have agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of our common Stock underlying the Debentures and the Series A warrants within thirty (30) days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. We also agreed to have the registration statement declared effective within 90 days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and keep the registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date after which all of the securities to be registered thereunder have been sold, or (ii) the date on which all the securities to be registered thereunder may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We are also obligated to pay the Investors, as partial liquidated damages, a fee of 2.0% of each Investor’s subscription amount per month in cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure to file and / or have the registration statement declared effective within the time periods provided.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. 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 because of several factors, including those set forth under the Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended in Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1), this report, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this report.

Overview

We are a digital marketing and data management platform delivering the tools to reach and reveal valuable audiences. 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. 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; 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 RTB exchanges. The SRAX platform integrates multiple market-leading demand sources, including OpenX, Pubmatic and AppNexus. 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 serves ads to both Healthcare Professionals and Patients using patent-pending process and technology. Powerful first and third-party data allow us to reach more than 400,000 Healthcare Professionals and Patients with real-time ad targeting, serving banner and video ads to personal devices. Advertising agencies and pharmaceutical clients contract with us directly to secure ad space and to license the MOSEE ad targeting platform on an annual basis.

·

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 platform. 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.

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, and on a monthly service fee.

28

During the first nine months of 2017, our efforts have been focused on the continued expansion of gross margin to generate higher profitability from our sales and marketing efforts across our  platform.  Our goal is to return our margins to historic levels, and eliminate the dependence on revenues from a previously limited number of customers. During the third quarter of 2017 and for the nine months then ended our gross margin increased to 55.8% and 50.3%, respectively, of revenue as compared to 26.7% and 32.3%, respectively during the comparable periods in 2016. Additionally, we have also concentrated on the reduction of various operating expenses to streamline our business for the future and provide liquidity. In March 2017, we initiated a restructuring program targeted to deliver cost savings in 2017 and beyond. Under the restructuring program, we made certain reductions in staffing and a restructuring of sales management compensation, delayed certain previously budgeted expenditures, eliminated certain operating expenses, simplified our organizational structure, including greater consolidation of our sales force and support functions, and extended payments to certain vendors. As a result of these changes, we recognized one-time costs of $377,961 during the first quarter of 2017 that related to severance accruals, recruiting fees and legal fees and saw a reduction in our overall general, selling and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2017 of 5.0% from the comparable period in 2016.

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 were required to utilize existing cash on hand to fund our operating and investing activities. As described elsewhere herein, during April 2017 we raised $5,000,000 through the sale of convertible debentures and in October 2017 we raised an additional $5,180,178 through the sale of similar convertible debentures.  We used a portion of the April 2017 proceeds to satisfy the put obligation of $2,500,000 under the Series B warrants issued in our January 2017 offering and a portion of the October 2017 proceeds to repay amounts due under the Financing Warrant.  A portion of the October 2017 convertible debentures were issued in exchange for cancellation of an equivalent dollar value of trade payables. The balance of remaining proceeds from these two transactions was then used to satisfy certain accounts payable and for other general corporate purposes.  However, the terms of those debentures will make it more difficult for us to raise capital in future periods while the debt remains outstanding.  We expect, however, that the reduction in our operating expenses coupled with our focus to improve the technology tools we offer that enable both publishers and advertisers to maximize their digital advertising initiatives will result in a reduction in our need for outside capital during the balance of 2017.

During the second quarter 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 Company’s new SRAX branding, designed to reflect the breadth and depth of the tools that we offer to digital marketers and content owners.

In the third quarter of 2017, we announced several new product offerings designed to expand our reach for advertisers to other large digital audiences.  SRAX Fan is a buyside vertical focused on advertising to sports fans on their mobile devices in stadiums and sports bars.  SRAX Auto is another new buyside vertical launched to target car buyers.  We also announced the launch of BigToken, an advertising based utility token initiative intended to reward consumers who voluntarily opt-in to allow marketers greater access to their personal information.  BigToken is intended to generate higher quality marketing opportunities for large advertisers who we then believe will pay a premium to have access to advertise to these audiences. While SRAX Fan 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. BigToken remains in development, with a previously announced launch date targeted for December 2017, at the earliest.

As part of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of ways to maximize shareholder value, in October 2017, we announced that we had engaged outside advisors to evaluate strategic options for SRAXmd.  Given the recent growth in revenue of SRAXmd as well as heightened merger and acquisition activity elsewhere in the healthcare advertising sector, we determined a thorough evaluation of various options potentially available would be prudent at this time.  However, there is no guarantee that we will take any immediate action whatsoever with regard to SRAXmd as a result of this strategic analysis.

Going concern

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported a net loss of $6,836,958, cash used in operating activities of $2,240,400 and we had an accumulated deficit of $21,226,961 at September 30, 2017. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016 and for the year then ended contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our losses from operations, negative cash flows generated from operating activities and accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

Revenue

The decrease in our revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016 reflect our strategic shift in 2017 to focus on higher margin revenue opportunities and the decrease in revenue from one significant legacy customer in 2016.  These revenue declines were partially offset by an increase in revenue from our SRAX buy side and sell side clients as well as continuing growth in SRAXmd.  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 legacy customer will adversely impact our expected overall revenue growth for the remainder of 2017. We have, additionally, taken several actions including the reorganization of sales personnel in an effort to broaden our customer base and expand our product offerings to additional buy-side clients and explore new channels of revenue. During the second quarter 2017, we launched a new tool which expanded of product offerings in the SRAX Social platform and we unveiled a new branding effort to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the tools that we provide digital marketers and content owners.

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 cost of revenue was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers for the first nine months 2017 as compared to 99% during the first nine months of 2016. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue declined to 44.2% for the third quarter of 2017 and 49.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 73.3% and 67.8%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2016. Cost of revenue declined in the third quarter of 2017 due to a strategic shift made by management in the third quarter of 2016 to focus sale efforts on advertising business with substantially higher gross margins. The Company also began eliminating certain legacy customers in its buy-side sales channels that produced low to no gross margin business during that time as well.

Operating expense

Our operating expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing and general overhead expenses. Overall, our net operating expense decreased 5.0% in the third quarter of 2017 from the comparable period in 2016. Our net operating expense increased 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, operating expenses were also impacted by the non-recurring expenses related to the write-off of the non-compete agreement amounting to $468,750 and restructuring costs amounting to $377,961. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our operating expenses were also impacted by the impairment of goodwill amounting to $670,000. Since our restructuring program was instituted at the end of the first quarter 2017, we expect that our operating expenses will continue to decline for the remainder of 2017 and into the first quarter of 2018, at a minimum.

30

Other income (expense)

Other income (expense) in the third quarter 2017 represents factoring fees, the non-cash accretion of our put warrants issued in connection with our January 2017 financing amounting to $419,062 and the accretion of the debenture discount and warrants issued in connection with our April 2017 financing amounting to $2,139,618. Other income (expense) for the third quarter 2016 represents interest under notes issued pursuant to a financing agreement and factoring fees, amortization of debt costs and the accretion of the put liability under a financing agreement, and the accretion and write-off of contingent consideration. Total interest expense decreased 41.9% and 36.8% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016. We expect that our overall interest expense during the balance of 2017 will increase as a result of the 12.5% secured convertible debentures that we sold in April 2017 and October 2017.  As certain of our outstanding securities, including the debentures and three series of warrants, contain reset provisions of the conversion and exercise price of the security, we anticipate that we will recognize other income or expense in future periods based upon the fluctuation of the market price of our Class A common stock in accordance with GAAP. The non-cash income in the first nine months of 2017 materially impacted our results of operations and, while those securities remain outstanding, we may have additional non-cash income or losses in future periods that could materially affect our net loss or net income within those periods. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income or expense in future periods as that income or expense is partly based on the market price of our Class A common stock at the end of a future measurement date. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.

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.

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. 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, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,226,961. As of September 30, 2017, we had $216,409 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $11,075,405 as compared to $1,048,762 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $8,276,097 at December 31, 2016. We are currently experiencing a period of limited liquidity resulting from the complete repayment of notes associated with a financing agreement previously held by Victory Park Management, LLC, the repurchase of the Series B Warrants in April 2017, and the satisfaction of amounts due under the Financing Warrant.

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 has 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.

As described in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, the terms of both the April 2017 and October 2017 debentures could materially impact our liquidity and results of operations in future periods. If our revenue increases throughout the next twelve months as anticipated, additional liquidity is expected to be readily available under our accounts receivable factoring agreement with FastPay which is now subject to a cap of $4,000,000 that we agreed to as part of the debentures in April 2017.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,240,400 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $867,122 for the comparable period in 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s accounts receivable increased by $1,377,870 which compares with a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,767,590 for the comparable period in 2016. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $721,272 which compares to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,355,103 for the comparable period in 2016.

Cash flows from investing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 net cash used in investing activities was $551,655 as compared to $4,816 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used cash to acquire equipment and develop internally used software.

Cash flows from financing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 net cash provided by financing activities was $1,959,702 which represented the net proceeds from the sale of securities amounting to $3,820,001 and the proceeds from debentures amounting to $2,136,629 offset by the complete repayment of our notes payable of $3,996,928 and the repurchase of the Series B warrants of $2,500,000 directly paid by the debenture holder on behalf of the Company. During the comparable period in 2016, net cash in the amount of $2,287,738 was used in financing activities which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock of $3,550,815 and proceeds from notes payable of $2,100,000 offset by a $1,600,000 payment of contingent consideration and $1,763,077 in repayments of notes payable.

32

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.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

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 SEC 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, 2016. During the third 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 2017. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will remediate the weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On August 25, 2017 Social Reality, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Tronc, Inc. (formerly Tribune Publishing Company LLC) and Tribune Content Agency, LLC for breach of contract, fraudulent concealment and deceptive business practices (case number 1:17-cv-05998, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). We have alleged that Tronc, Inc. and Tribune Content Agency, LLC refused to perform their contractual obligations and breached the terms of contract and insertion orders, causing us to suffer close to $35 million in damages. We are seeking a judgment in the amount of the damages as well as costs and such other relief as the court may award.

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, 2016 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, 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 SEC.

The terms of the Debentures could materially impact our liquidity and results of operations in future periods.

Certain terms of the Debentures that we issued in April 2017 and October 2017 could materially impact our liquidity and results of operations in future periods, including:

·

Interest on the Debentures is payable on a quarterly basis in cash at 12.5% per annum beginning July 1, 2017;

·

The Debentures are secured by a second position security interest in our accounts receivable, second only to FastPay, and a first position security interest in the balance of our assets, including our intellectual property;

·

We are subject to continued compliance with certain financial covenants, including a minimum monthly current ratio, a maximum quarterly corporate expense ratio, and minimum quarterly revenue and EBITDA related to SRAXmd;

·

The Debentures are subject to a mandatory redemption by us;

·

In the event of future financings by us, subject to certain exempt issuances, the holders of the Debentures have the right to cause us to allocate 20% of the proceeds we may receive as a mandatory redemption of a portion of the principal amount then outstanding;

·

While we are able 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, our ability to undertake an optional redemption of the Debentures is subject to our compliance with certain equity conditions;

·

Our ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited, as is our ability to issue additional equity; and,

·

We have agreed to a cap of $4,000,000 on the sale of our accounts receivable to FastPay under the FastPay factoring agreement.

Our failure to conduct our business within the confines of these contractual restrictions could result in an event of default under the Debentures. The Debentures also contain various other events of default, among others, including failure to pay principal or interest, breach or misrepresentation of covenants, representations or warranties, filing of or proceedings for bankruptcy, ineligibility of listings or quotations on the trading market for our Class A common stock, a change in control of the Company, and the false or inaccurate certification regarding our compliance with any equity conditions.

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 debentures, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the holders could accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the holders 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 holders should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company. These obligations may further adversely impact our business and operations in other areas, including making it more difficult to satisfy our other obligations, increasing our vulnerability in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our markets and possibly placing us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt. We are currently in compliance with the provisions of the debt covenants and are current with our interest payments as of November 5, 2017.

34

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 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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, Steel Media (“Steel Media”) (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 platform delivering the tools to reach and reveal valuable audiences. 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.

We derive our revenue 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;

· sales and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and,

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

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, and on a monthly service fee.

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

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 Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2016 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited 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 interim three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 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, 2016, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, as amended on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) as filed with the SEC on April 28, 2017.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, development of internally used software and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. Our general, selling and administrative expenses decreased from $3,851,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3,659,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $11,082,581 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $11,395,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We incurred a loss of $4,074,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $2,375,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and incurred losses of $6,836,958 and $2,904,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,226,961. As of September 30, 2017, we had $216,409 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $11,075,405 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. We are currently experiencing a period of limited liquidity resulting from the complete repayment of senior secured notes associated with a financing agreement previously held by Victory Park Management, LLC and the repurchase of the Series B Warrants in April 2017. Additionally, we were notified in May 2017 that Victory Park Management, LLC had exercised its put right for the repurchase of the Financing Warrant which amounts to $1,500,000.  See Note 8 for a further discussion of this obligation.

During January 2017, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Victory Park Management, LLC financing agreement utilizing proceeds from the factoring of our receivables and sales of our securities. While the repayment of the amounts owed under this financing agreement is expected to result in overall savings to us through the elimination of both the associated interest expense as well as the internal costs related to the reporting obligations under its terms, the repayment of these notes have adversely impacted our current liquidity. To address the immediate impact of this decreased liquidity, we developed certain operating plans that focus on increased profitability growth through higher gross margin sales and cost reductions as further described herein. If our revenue increases throughout the next twelve months as anticipated, additional liquidity is expected to be readily available under our accounts receivable factoring agreement with FastPay Partners, LLC (“FastPay”). See Note 8 for a further discussion of this agreement.

In March 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring program targeted to deliver cost savings in 2017 and beyond. Under the restructuring program, the Company made certain reductions in staffing and a restructuring of sales management compensation, delayed certain previously budgeted expenditures, eliminated certain operating expenses, simplified our organizational structure, including greater consolidation of our sales force and support functions, and extended payments to certain vendors. We recognized certain one-time costs amounting to $377,961 related to the restructuring. Although, we anticipate increasing our revenue streams, we believe our primary objective should evolve around profitability instead of revenue and market share each of which relate to, but do not necessarily drive profit.

Accordingly, the Company has taken several actions to continue to support its operations and meet its obligations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Our future success depends upon our ability to 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 revenue and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. It is uncertain whether the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations.

In addition to increasing sales, lowering costs, and a more aggressive approach in managing our accounts payable, our plan to continue as a going concern also included raising additional capital through borrowing and/or additional sales of equity or equity linked securities. In April 2017, we entered a definitive securities purchase agreement which provided $5,000,000 in additional capital allowing us to satisfy certain warrant put obligations as further discussed in Note 10.  In October 2017, we entered into an additional definitive securities purchase agreement which provided for an additional $5,180,158 of capital that allowed us to satisfy all amounts due under the Financing Warrant, as well as partially reduce our working capital deficit through payment of certain outstanding payables.

We acknowledge that 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 were required to fund cash used in operating and investing activities with cash provided by financing activities. We expect that the actions initiated in 2017 will enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility toward the beginning of 2018.  We also announced several new revenue initiatives that could provide additional revenue growth opportunities beginning in the second half of 2018.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the actions discussed above are probable of occurring and mitigating the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfying our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, while not expected, we may not be able to access additional funds and we might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to us under terms and conditions that are favorable to our success. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to services that are important to the operation of our business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. The outcome of these plans cannot be predicted at this time.

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation

In September 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. 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 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 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 $91,172 and $254,875 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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, 2017, four customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 84%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, five customers accounted for 52% of total revenue. At December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 61%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, one customer accounted for 49% 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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, 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 three to six years. The Company capitalizes 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

No impairment of goodwill has been recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized an impairment of goodwill that amounted to $670,000, 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016, respectively.

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 6,254,705 common share equivalents at September 30, 2017 and 2,912,069 common share equivalents at September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 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 consolidated 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 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.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) which provides improvements to employee share-based accounting transactions. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

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. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-13 on our unaudited 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. The amendments in Part II of this update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated 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 is currently evaluating the impact of 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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU No. 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statements of cash flows. ASU No. 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 No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in June 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 April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606), which amends certain aspects of the FASB’s new revenue standard, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). ASU No. 2016-10 identifies performance obligations and provides licensing implementation guidance. The effective date for ASU No. 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. 2016-08, 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 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.

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 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completely repaid the Financing Notes and made principal and PIK interest repayments in the amount of $3,996,928.

Notes payable consisted of the following at December 31, 2016:

	December 31, 2016
Current portion of notes payable and PIK interest	$	3,996,928
Non-current portion of notes payable		—
Total notes payable and PIK interest		3,996,928
Less deferred financing costs		(578,140	)
Notes payable and PIK interest, net of deferred costs	$	3,418,788

We incurred a total of $3,164,352 of costs related to the Financing Agreement. These costs were amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $250,100, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $578,140 and $816,705, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense. As of September 30, 2017, all deferred debt issuance costs have been completely amortized.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $206,287, respectively, were recorded as PIK interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $0 and $447,736, 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. We recorded the put liability at its present value of $1,500,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. On October 27, 2017, the obligation was paid in full. As of September 30, 2017, the accrued interest on put liability was $51,323.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, $51,323 was recorded as PIK interest expense.

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 September 30, 2017, $2,100,539 of accounts receivable purchased by FastPay remain outstanding and are subject to repurchase under the terms of the FastPay Agreement.

PUT WARRANT LIABILITY

NOTE 9 – PUT WARRANT LIABILITY

As more fully described in Note 11, the Company issued Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants in connection with a securities purchase agreement dated January 4, 2017. The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of derivative warrant instruments. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments has been calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes 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).

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the warrants issued. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company 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, the Company 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.

In April 2017, the Company repurchased the Series B Warrants for $2,500,000 and recognized a loss on the repurchase amounting to $2,053,975. Fair value at September 30, 2017 of the Series A Warrants was estimated to be $757,476 and based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.75%, an expected term of 5 years, an expected volatility of 109% and a 0% dividend yield.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $432,035 was recorded as a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $1,934,663 was recorded as a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability.

As a result of the sale of the Debentures (see Note 10), the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued to investors in our January 2017 private offering was reset to $2.245 per share. The Company recognized a loss on the repricing of these warrants amounting to $99,820.

The put warrant liability is comprised of the following at September 30, 2017:

	September 30, 2017
Initial derivative liability on issuance of put warrants	$	3,038,344
Plus put warrant repricing adjustment		99,820
Less accretion of put warrants		(1,934,663	)
Less repurchase of Series B warrants		(446,025	)

Convertible Debt [Abstract]

SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, NET

NOTE 10 – 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. Upon any optional redemption, we are obligated to issue the holder five-year warrant Series B warrants, the terms of which will be identical to the Debenture Warrants, to purchase a number of shares of our Class A common stock as shall equal 50% of conversion shares issuable on an as-converted basis as if the principal amount of the Debenture had been converted immediately prior to the optional redemption. In the event of future financings by us, subject to certain exempt issuances, the holders have the right to cause us to allocate 20% of the proceeds we may receive as a mandatory redemption of a portion of the principal amount then outstanding. We are also required to redeem the Debentures upon our failure to maintain certain financial covenants which include a minimum monthly current ratio, a maximum quarterly corporate expense ratio, and maintain minimum quarterly revenue and EBITDA related to SRAXmd. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with all financial covenants.

The Debenture also contains certain customary events of default (including, but not limited to, default in payment of principal or interest thereunder, breaches of covenants, agreements, representations or warranties thereunder, the occurrence of an event of default under certain material contracts of the Company, changes in control of the Company and the entering or filing of certain monetary judgments against the Company). Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus liquidated damages, interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. The Company is also subject to certain customary non-financial covenants under the Debenture. The Debenture holders were granted board observation rights so long as the lead investor continues to hold the Debentures.

The Debenture 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 Debenture 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 Debenture Warrants we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and Debenture Warrants, a holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Debentures or exercise any portion of the Debenture Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and the Debenture Warrants; provided that after the Shareholder Approval Date, as defined below, at the election of a holder and notice to us such percentage ownership limitation may be increased or decreased to any other percentage, not to exceed 9.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered from the holder to us.

In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, until such time as our stockholders have approved the Securities Purchase Agreements and the transactions thereunder (the "Shareholder Approval Date"), we were not obligated to issue any shares of our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Debentures and/or exercise of the Debenture Warrants, and the holders had no right to receive upon conversion and/or exercise thereof any shares of our Class A common stock, to the extent the issuance of such shares of Class A common stock would exceed 20% of our outstanding Class A common stock prior to the transaction. 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 the Securities Purchaser Agreements, we also granted the Purchasers of the Debentures the right to purchase an additional $3,000,000 of Debentures upon the same terms and conditions for a period beginning on the Shareholder Approval Date and expiring on earliest of the date that (a) the initial registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, (b) all of the underlying shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for our company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (c) following the one year anniversary of the closing date provided that a holder of the underlying shares is not an affiliate of the Company or (d) all of the underlying shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. The shares underlying the Debentures and Debenture Warrants were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC in June 2017.

Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan Capital”), Noble Capital Markets, Inc. ("Noble") and Aspenwood Capital (an independent branch of Colorado Financial Services Corporation) (“Aspenwood”), all broker-dealers and members of FINRA, acted as either our placement agent or a finder in connection with the sale of the securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements. In addition, an affiliate of Noble purchased Debentures amounting to $720,000 and was issued Debenture Warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of our Class A common stock in this offering. We paid aggregate cash commissions amounting to $276,700 to these broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the Debentures. Additionally, we issued Chardan Capital placement agent warrants ("Chardan Placement Agent Warrants") to purchase 100,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share which are exercisable for 5.5 years commencing six months from the issuance date. We issued Noble placement agent warrants (“Noble Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 66,800 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share which will become exercisable six months from the date of issuance. We also issued Colorado Financial Service Corporation and its designees warrants (“Aspenwood Warrants”) to purchase 7,700 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share which are exercisable for 5.5 years commencing six months from the issuance date. We included the shares underlying the Chardan Placement Agent Warrants, the Noble Placement Agent Warrants, and the Aspenwood Warrants in the aforedescribed resale registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC in June 2017.

The net proceeds to us from the offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $4,636,629. We utilized $2,500,000 of the net proceeds to satisfy a put obligation under the Series B Warrants issued to investors in a registered direct offering that we conducted in January 2017 as described in Note 11. The balance of the net proceeds was used to pay down accounts payable and satisfy other working capital requirements.

The Company issued Debenture Warrants in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements. The Debenture Warrants have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of derivative warrant instruments. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with the valuation offset against the secured convertible debenture liability as a discount on debt issuance, and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense).

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the Debenture Warrants issued. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception dates of the warrants and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Debenture Warrants, the Company determined a fair value of $1,228,484 of the embedded derivatives. On April 21 and April 28, 2017, the dates of inception, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black-Scholes Model based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.875%, an expected term of 5.5 years, an expected volatility of 109% and a 0% dividend yield for each respective date.

Fair value at September 30, 2017 of the Debenture Warrants was estimated to be $1,615,844 based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.75%, an expected term of 5.33 years, an expected volatility of 109% and a 0% dividend yield. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an the increase in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $892,808 and $387,360 respectively. This was recorded as a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability.

The Debenture Warrant liability is comprised of the following at September 30, 2017:

	September 30, 2017
Initial derivative liability on issuance of debenture warrants	$	1,228,484
Less accretion of debenture warrants		387,360
Debenture warrant liability	$	1,615,844

In addition to the Debenture Warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements. The Company has additionally determined that the conversion feature of the Debentures should be accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion of the debentures into shares of stock. The estimated fair value of the conversion feature has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with the valuation offset against the secured convertible debenture liability as a discount on debt issuance, and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense).

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the conversion of debt into shares of stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of this derivative as of the inception dates of the debt and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Debentures, the Company determined a fair value of $1,535,239 of these embedded derivatives. On April 21 and April 28, 2017, the dates of inception, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black-Scholes Model based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.525%, an expected term of 3 years, an expected volatility of 90% and a 0% dividend yield for each respective date.

Fair value at September 30, 2017 of the debenture conversion liability was estimated to be $1,936,752 based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.5%, an expected term of 2.83 years, an expected volatility of 86% and a 0% dividend yield. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an increase in the fair value of the debenture conversion liability of $1,246,810 and $401,513 respectively. This was recorded as a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

On January 4, 2017, the Company entered a definitive securities purchase agreement with two fundamental institutional investors (the “Investors”) for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of: (i) 761,905 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock; and (ii) five-year Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) representing the right to acquire up an additional 380,953 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The shares of our Class A common stock and the Series B Warrants were sold in a registered direct offering and we received gross proceeds of $3,980,001. Simultaneously we conducted a private placement with the same Investors for no additional consideration of Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) representing the right to acquire up to an additional 380,953 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $6.70 per share. The Series A Warrants are exercisable for five years commencing 6 months from the date of closing of the private sale of the Series A Warrants to the Investors.

The exercise price of the Series A Warrants is subject to full ratchet adjustment in certain circumstances, subject to a floor price of $1.20 per share. The adjustment provisions under the terms of the Series A Warrants will be extinguished at such time as our Class A common stock trades at or above $10.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions. In addition, if there is no effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants, the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. If we fail to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants, we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. As a result of the sale of the Debentures, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued to investors in our January 2017 private offering were reset to $2.245 per share.

Beginning 100 days after the issuance date of the Series B Warrants, at any time the market price of our Class A common stock is less than $5.25 per share, the holders had the right to exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis for shares of our Class A common stock calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Series B Warrants. We had the right, in lieu of delivery of such shares of our Class A common stock, to pay the holder of the Series B Warrants being exercised on a cashless basis, a specified amount in cash, with a maximum cash payment of $2,500,000. The holders of the Series B Warrants exercised their right in April 2017 and we repurchased the Series B Warrants for $2,500,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, a holder of a warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants; provided that at the election of a holder and notice to us such percentage ownership limitation may be increased or decreased to any other percentage, not to exceed 9.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered from the holder to the Company.

In the event of any extraordinary transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common stock, the holder will have the right to have the warrants and all obligations and rights thereunder assumed by the successor or acquiring corporation. Also, at the election of the holder of each warrant, in the event of an extraordinary transaction, we or any successor entity may be required to repurchase such warrant for an amount of cash equal to the value of the warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model and the terms of the warrants.

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated December 29, 2016 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) by and between the Company and Chardan Capital Markets, Chardan Capital agreed to act as the Company’s placement agent in connection with both the registered direct offering and a concurrent private placement. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company paid Chardan Capital a cash fee equal to $160,000 (4% of the gross proceeds), as well as reimbursement of its expenses related to the offering in the amount of $15,000. In addition, the Company granted Chardan Capital a warrant to purchase 76,190 shares of Class A common stock (the “Placement Warrants”). The Placement Warrants have an exercise price of $6.50 per share and are exercisable for 5.5 years commencing six months from the issuance date. The shares underlying the Placement Warrants were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC in June 2017.

The net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, were $3,830,000. The proceeds of the offering were used to satisfy the outstanding notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. In connection with the January 2017 capital raise, Victory Park Management, LLC agreed not to exercise the put right under the Financing Warrant prior to May 20, 2017. Victory Park Management, LLC exercised the put right on May 22, 2017. We had had 45 days to satisfy this obligation which remains unpaid. On October 27, 2017, the Company satisfied this obligation in full utilizing a portion of net proceeds from a second debenture financing.

The Class A shares of common stock and Series B Warrants were sold and issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, dated January 4, 2017, to the Prospectus included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214644) filed with the SEC on November 16, 2016 and declared effective on November 28, 2016.

In September and October 2016, we sold an aggregate of 920,000 units of our securities to accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The units were sold at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $4,625,000. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three-year Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Purchase Warrants”) 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 SEC 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 Purchase Warrants, together with the shares of our Class A common stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants. The shares underlying the Purchase Warrants were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC in February 2017. T.R. Winston & Company, LLC (“T.R. Winston”), a broker-dealer and member of FINRA, acted as placement agent for us in this offering. We paid placement agent commissions totaling $266,000 and agreed to issue it three year warrants Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 68,400 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. We also provided T.R. Wilson 22,392 units in this offering in lieu of cash placement agent commissions totaling $109,956 and the reimbursement of certain expenses. T.R. Winston has reallocated a portion of the commissions and Placement Agent Warrants to a selected dealer member of the selling group resulting in the payment by us of a cash commission of $2,000 and the issuance of an additional 400 Placement Agent Warrants. We also agreed to pay T.R. Winston a fee of 4% of the proceeds we may receive upon the exercise of the warrants included in the units. We used $2,000,000 of the net proceeds received by us in this offering to further reduce our obligations which were outstanding under the Financing Agreement.

Reverse Stock Split

In September 2016, the Company completed a reverse stock split whereby 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

The Offering includes (i) $2,000,000 of Debentures and Series A Warrants pursuant to the exercise of a green shoe (“Green Shoe”) provision contained in the transaction documents for the purchase and sale of the Prior Debentures (as defined below) and (ii) $3,180,157.78 of additional Debentures. The Debentures and Series A Warrants are being sold for a combination of cash and the cancellation of debt or receivables.

The Debentures, which mature on April 21, 2020, 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 January 1, 2018.  Our obligations under the Debentures are secured pari passu with the debentures previously issued in April 2017 (“Prior Debentures”).  The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter described.

The Debentures are being issued in two series, Series A-1 Debentures (“A-1 Debentures”) and Series A-2 Debentures (“A-2 Debentures”).  The Company will issue (i) $2,000,000 in A-1 Debentures and (ii) $3,180,157.78 in A-2 Debentures. The A-1 Debentures and A-2 Debentures are substantially the same except that the A-1 Debentures (i) we approved for issuance on June 23, 2017 by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Green Shoe and (ii) have a conversion price floor of $1.40 with regard to anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales at a price lower than 120% of the then applicable conversion price.  The A-2 Debentures have a conversion price floor of $3.00 until such time as the Company receives shareholder approval for the transaction.  The Company has agreed to hold a meeting of the shareholders (“Shareholder Meeting”) on or prior to seventy-five (75) days following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement to obtain shareholder approval in connection with the transaction, including, without limitation, to reduce the floor price with regard to the anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales to $1.40 (on par with the A-1 Debentures).

Subject to our compliance with certain equity conditions (as more fully 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 Common warrants, the terms of which will be identical to the Series A Warrants, to purchase a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to 50% of the conversion shares issuable on an as-converted basis as if the principal amount of the Debenture had been converted immediately prior to the optional redemption. In the event of future financings by us, subject to certain exempt issuances, the holders have the right to cause us to allocate 20% of the proceeds we receive to redeem a portion of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures. We are also required to redeem the Debentures, at the holder’s right, upon our failure to maintain certain financial covenants as further described in the Debentures.

The Debentures also contain certain customary events of default (including, but not limited to, default in payment of principal or interest thereunder, breaches of covenants, agreements, representations or warranties thereunder, the occurrence of an event of default under certain material contracts of the Company, changes in control of the Company and the entering or filing of certain monetary judgments against the Company). Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture for a premium, plus liquidated damages, interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.  The Company is also subject to certain negative covenants under the Debenture, including but not limited to, the creation of certain debt obligations, liens on Company assets, amending its charter documents, repayment or repurchase of securities or certain debt of the Company, or the payment of dividends.

The Series A Warrants are being issued as follows: (i) 333,335 issued pursuant to the Green Shoe and in connection with A-1 Debentures and (ii) 530,030 are being issued in connection with the A-2 Debentures.  The Series A Warrants issued pursuant to the A-1 Debentures and A-2 Debentures have the same form.  The Series A Warrants are initially exercisable at $3.00 per share and, are subject to cashless exercise after six months if the shares underlying the warrants are not subject to an effective resale registration statement. The Series A Warrants also contain anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales for a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, with a floor of $1.40.

The conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the Series A 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 the $1.40 and $3.00 floor described above). If we fail to timely deliver the shares of our Common Stock upon any conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Series A Warrants, we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and Series A Warrants, a holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Debentures or exercise any portion of the Series A Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and the Series A Warrants; provided that at the election of a holder and notice to us such percentage ownership limitation may be increased to 9.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered from the holder to the Company.

The Company also agreed to use up to approximately $1.57 million in proceeds from the Offering to pay a $1.5 million put obligation of an outstanding common stock purchase warrant issued in October 2014 (the “Financing Warrant”) plus $.07 million in accrued interest on the amount outstanding.

As of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company had 8,605,018 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. As such, under the Nasdaq Market Place Rules, we are authorized to issue up to 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares, or 1,720,143 shares. The shares of Common Stock underlying the A-2 Debentures and accompanying Series A Warrants are an aggregate of 1,590,081 shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding, we are obligated to submit the Offering at the Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of reducing the floor conversion price of the A-2 Debentures as discussed above. In connection with this transaction, we will issue to our Placement Agents (as defined below), an aggregate of 183,337 common stock purchase warrants (“PA Warrants”) as follows: (i) 129,176 PA Warrants will have an exercise price of $3.75 per share and (ii) 54,161 PA Warrants will have an exercise price of $4.49 (the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock prior to the Securities Purchase Agreement). The PA Warrants are substantially similar to the Series A Warrants, except that the PA Warrants have a term of five and one half (5.5) years, are not exercisable until the six (6) month anniversary of the issuance date, and contain no anti-dilution protection.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), we have agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of our common Stock underlying the Debentures and the Series A warrants within thirty (30) days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. We also agreed to have the registration statement declared effective within 90 days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and keep the registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date after which all of the securities to be registered thereunder have been sold, or (ii) the date on which all the securities to be registered thereunder may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We are also obligated to pay the Investors, as partial liquidated damages, a fee of 2.0% of each Investor’s subscription amount per month in cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure to file and / or have the registration statement declared effective within the time periods provided.

Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan Capital”) acted as lead placement agent and Aspenwood Capital acted as co-placement agent ("Aspenwood"), in connection with the sale of the securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to their respective engagement agreements, we will pay Chardan Capital a cash commission of $149,021.25 and Aspenwood a cash commission of $70,000. Pursuant to the discussion above, we also issued an aggregate of 160,000 PA Warrants to Chardan Capital and an aggregate of 23,337 PA Warrants to Aspenwood. We will include the shares underlying the Placement Agent Warrants in the resale registration statement we expect to file.

On October 31, 2017, an aggregate of 567,096 Common Stock purchase warrants, having exercise prices of $7.50, per share, expired.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Uses and Sources of Liquidity

Uses and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, development of internally used software and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. Our general, selling and administrative expenses decreased from $3,851,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3,659,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $11,082,581 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $11,395,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We incurred a loss of $4,074,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $2,375,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and incurred losses of $6,836,958 and $2,904,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,226,961. As of September 30, 2017, we had $216,409 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $11,075,405 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. We are currently experiencing a period of limited liquidity resulting from the complete repayment of senior secured notes associated with a financing agreement previously held by Victory Park Management, LLC and the repurchase of the Series B Warrants in April 2017. Additionally, we were notified in May 2017 that Victory Park Management, LLC had exercised its put right for the repurchase of the Financing Warrant which amounts to $1,500,000.  See Note 8 for a further discussion of this obligation.

During January 2017, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Victory Park Management, LLC financing agreement utilizing proceeds from the factoring of our receivables and sales of our securities. While the repayment of the amounts owed under this financing agreement is expected to result in overall savings to us through the elimination of both the associated interest expense as well as the internal costs related to the reporting obligations under its terms, the repayment of these notes have adversely impacted our current liquidity. To address the immediate impact of this decreased liquidity, we developed certain operating plans that focus on increased profitability growth through higher gross margin sales and cost reductions as further described herein. If our revenue increases throughout the next twelve months as anticipated, additional liquidity is expected to be readily available under our accounts receivable factoring agreement with FastPay Partners, LLC (“FastPay”). See Note 8 for a further discussion of this agreement.

In March 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring program targeted to deliver cost savings in 2017 and beyond. Under the restructuring program, the Company made certain reductions in staffing and a restructuring of sales management compensation, delayed certain previously budgeted expenditures, eliminated certain operating expenses, simplified our organizational structure, including greater consolidation of our sales force and support functions, and extended payments to certain vendors. We recognized certain one-time costs amounting to $377,961 related to the restructuring. Although, we anticipate increasing our revenue streams, we believe our primary objective should evolve around profitability instead of revenue and market share each of which relate to, but do not necessarily drive profit.

Accordingly, the Company has taken several actions to continue to support its operations and meet its obligations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Our future success depends upon our ability to 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 revenue and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. It is uncertain whether the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations.

In addition to increasing sales, lowering costs, and a more aggressive approach in managing our accounts payable, our plan to continue as a going concern also included raising additional capital through borrowing and/or additional sales of equity or equity linked securities. In April 2017, we entered a definitive securities purchase agreement which provided $5,000,000 in additional capital allowing us to satisfy certain warrant put obligations as further discussed in Note 10.  In October 2017, we entered into an additional definitive securities purchase agreement which provided for an additional $5,180,158 of capital that allowed us to satisfy all amounts due under the Financing Warrant, as well as partially reduce our working capital deficit through payment of certain outstanding payables.

We acknowledge that 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 were required to fund cash used in operating and investing activities with cash provided by financing activities. We expect that the actions initiated in 2017 will enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility toward the beginning of 2018.  We also announced several new revenue initiatives that could provide additional revenue growth opportunities beginning in the second half of 2018.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the actions discussed above are probable of occurring and mitigating the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfying our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, while not expected, we may not be able to access additional funds and we might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to us under terms and conditions that are favorable to our success. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to services that are important to the operation of our business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. The outcome of these plans cannot be predicted at this time.

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation

In September 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

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

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

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

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 $91,172 and $254,875 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk

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, 2017, four customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 84%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, five customers accounted for 52% of total revenue. At December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 61%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, one customer accounted for 49% of total revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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

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

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 three to six years. The Company capitalizes 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.

Business Combinations

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 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.

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.

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 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 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.

No impairment of goodwill has been recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized an impairment of goodwill that amounted to $670,000, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

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 or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016, respectively.

Loss Per Share

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 6,254,705 common share equivalents at September 30, 2017 and 2,912,069 common share equivalents at September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 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

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 consolidated 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

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.

Business Segments

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.
