ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT


This prospectus supplement is part of the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-214644) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process to register sales of our securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference, which describes the specific terms of this offering. The second part is the accompanying prospectus filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on November 28, 2016, including the documents incorporated by reference, that gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the “prospectus,” we are referring to both parts combined.

Our Business


We are a digital marketing and data technology company with tools to reach and reveal valuable audiences with marketing and advertising communication. Our machine-learning technology analyzes marketing data to identify brands and content owners' core consumers and their characteristics across marketing channels. Through an omnichannel approach that integrates all aspects of the advertising experience into one platform, we discover new and measurable opportunities that amplify campaign performance and maximize profits. In addition to our business services and technologies, we also operate a direct to consumer platform, BIGToken, that enables consumers to own, manage and sell access to their digital identity and data. This provides us with a direct consumer relationship and gives us valuable proprietary data. We derive our revenues from:


·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

sales of media inventory through real-time bidding, or “RTB”, exchanges;

·

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

·

creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands; and

·

sales of proprietary consumer data.


The core elements of our business 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;


·

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;

S-1



 


Marketing and sales


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


Intellectual property


We currently rely on a combination of trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We also enter into proprietary information and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and commercial partners and control access to, and distribution of, our software documentation and other proprietary information. Prior to our acquisition of Five Delta in December 2014, in October 2014 it filed a U.S. patent for a method and system for bidding and performance tracking using online advertisements and provisional status has been granted under 62/060,247. In addition, it claimed the benefit of a pending U.S. patent number 61/604,348 for online advertising scoring. The provisional patent application has now been converted to a non-provisional patent application number 12/960,435 and is awaiting examination by the U.S. Patent Office.


Competition


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


BIGToken Platform


On February 1, 2019, our BIGToken platform (“BIGToken Platform”), an advertising-based platform initiative intended to reward consumers, become generally available. Users of the BIGToken Platform receive points for undertaking certain actions on the platform. These points are then redeemable for cash directly from us. We also anticipate that users will be able to redeem the points for goods and/or services offered by our sponsors. The value each point being redeemed is at the discretion of management with regard to cash payments and we anticipate at the discretion of our sponsors with regard to goods and/or services.




S-2



 


In February of 2019, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in order to register shares of our BIGToken tracking stock (“BIGToken”). Subsequently, we received comments from the SEC and are currently reviewing such comments. In the event the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, we anticipate allowing users to convert points they earn on the BIGToken Platform into BIGTokens.  As of the date hereof, we have not issued any BIGTokens.  


Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that in order to fully launch the BIGToken Platform and recognize all the benefits therefrom, not only will we be required to further increase the functionally of the platform (the development of blockchain technology that has yet to be developed and implemented regarding the tracking of brand transactions) but we will also need to comply with both state and federal securities laws and regulations with regard to certain aspects of the platform and specifically, BIGToken. There can be no assurances that we will successfully develop the blockchain portion of the BIGToken Platform or that we will be able to comply with any applicable laws or regulations on a timely basis, if at all. Our failure successfully complete the development of the BIGToken Platform or to adequately comply with such laws and regulations, or comply with them on a timely basis, will greatly impact the value and utility of the BIGToken Platform and could materially impact the operations of our company.


Employees

 

At March 15, 2019, we had 61 full-time employees. We also contract for the services of an additional approximately 75 individuals from a third-party provider in Mexicali, Mexico. There are no collective bargaining agreements covering any of our employees.


Our Corporate Information

We were originally organized in August 2009 as a California limited liability company under the name Social Reality, LLC, and we converted to a Delaware corporation effective January 1, 2012.

RISK FACTORS


Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein.

 

For a discussion of additional risks associated with our business, our intellectual property, government regulation and approval of our product candidates, our industry and an investment in our Class A common stock, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2017, and any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

 

If any of the risks described below, or those incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our Class A common stock may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Certain statements below are forward-looking statements. See the information included under the heading “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated currently and described under “Use of Proceeds” on page S-7. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company.

 

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

 

We are generally not restricted from issuing additional Class A common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Class A common stock. The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of Class A common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Class A common stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock.

 

The public offering price of our Class A common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Therefore, if you purchase our Class A common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $2.85 in net tangible book value per share from the price you paid, based on our financial statements as of September 30, 2018. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see “Dilution” on page S-.

 



S-5



 


Our management and audit committee have determined the need to restate certain of our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017 and quarters ending March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 as a result of the improper accounting treatment of certain warrants.

 

On April 7, 2019, management and the audit committee of our board of directors determined that our previously issued quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017 should no longer be relied upon. In addition, we determined that related press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing our financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. The errors identified are all non-cash and primarily related to our classification of certain outstanding warrants with provisions that allow the warrant holder to force cash redemption under certain circumstances. Accordingly, we plan to restate the annual, quarterly and year-to-date audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements for the foregoing periods.


Accordingly, although we previously disclosed that we had ineffective controls, investors in our securities may lose confidence in our financial statements and management, which could result in a decrease in our stock price and negative sentiment in the investment community.


The restatement of certain of our financial statements may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of legal proceedings.

 

As a result of the plan to restate our previously issued quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and our  audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017, we may become subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the increased possibility of legal proceedings, shareholder lawsuits or a review by the SEC and other regulatory bodies, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, shareholder class actions or derivative actions. We could face monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause our stock price to decline.




S-6



 


NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the other documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any projections of financing needs, revenue, expenses, earnings or losses from operations, or other financial items, any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning product development and commercialization plans and timelines, any statements of expectation or belief and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In addition, forward-looking statements may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will result,” “seek,” “could,” “may,” “might,” or any variations of such words or other words with similar meanings. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.

 

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or such other documents, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


USE OF PROCEEDS


We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after payment of placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses and other fees payable by us, will be approximately $6.17 million.

 

Except as otherwise described in any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be furnished to you, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital purposes.


We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds from this offering. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we expect to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Our business requires significant funding. We currently plan to invest all available funds and any future earnings in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

DILUTION


Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2018, was approximately $7.55 million, or $0.74 per share of our Class A common stock. Net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock is determined by dividing total tangible assets (less total tangible liabilities) by the aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of Class A common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock immediately after this offering.


After giving effect to the sale of 1,687,825 shares of Class A common stock in this offering at a price of $4.00 per share, and after deducting estimated placement agent fees of $472,591 and excluding other estimated offering expenses paid or payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2018 would have been approximately $13.82 million, or approximately $1.15 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.41 per share to our existing stockholders and immediate dilution per shares of $2.85 to purchasers in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Pursuant to a placement agent agreement (“Engagement Agreement”) dated April 5, 2019, we have engaged WestPark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark” or the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Under the terms of the engagement letter, the Placement Agent has agreed to be our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of our shares of Class A common stock in this takedown from our shelf registration statement. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the Placement Agent and prospective investors. The engagement letter does not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of our shares of Class A common stock, and the Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement letter. Further, the Placement Agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. The Placement Agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with this offering.

 

The Placement Agent proposes to arrange for the sale of the shares we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to one or more investors through securities purchase agreements directly between the purchasers and us.

 

We expect to deliver the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement on or about April 10, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a total cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of this offering. We will also pay the placement agent an expense allowance of $50,000 for legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses. We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this offering will be approximately $580,000, which amount includes the Placement Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 6% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock sold in this offering (warrants to purchase 101,270 shares). The Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $5.00, or 125% of the offering price per share in this offering and such Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable at any time in whole in party during the four-year period commencing one year from the closing date of the Offering.  The Placement Agent Warrants will have registration rights (one-time demand registration and unlimited piggyback registration rights). The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend and splits, and reorganizations, or similar transaction as described in the Placement Agent Warrant. The Placement Agent Warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis in the event that the shares underlying the Placement Agent Warrant are not subject to an effective registration statement.  Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the Placement Agent Warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering, except the transfer of any security: (i) by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization; (ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in this offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period; (iii) if the aggregate amount of our securities held by the placement agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered; (iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund and the participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or (v) the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the Placement Agent’s activities under the Engagement Agreement.

RISK FACTORS


An investment in our securities involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our securities unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose your entire investment in our company.


Risks Related to our Business


We have a history of losses and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future.


We reported an operating loss of $3.9 million and a net loss of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  We reported net losses of $2.7 million and $4.4 million for 2015 and 2014, respectively.  At September 30, 2016 we had an accumulated deficit of $13.0 million.  Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to grow our revenues and profits. We do not have any long term agreements with our customers.  There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. We may continue to incur losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow beyond what is necessary to fund our ongoing operations, pay our obligations under the Financing Agreement dated October 30, 2014, as amended, with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and holders of notes and warrants issued thereunder, which we refer to as the "Financing Agreement. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses and service our debt obligations, or report profitable operations in future periods.



4



 


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


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


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


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


Our debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition, and our ability to grow our company could be in jeopardy.  The amounts owed under the Financing Agreement are due on December 31, 2016 and our obligations are secured by our assets.


Our debt obligations are currently comprised of senior notes issued under the Financing Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.0 million at November 1, 2016. The terms of the Financing Agreement contain certain mandatory prepayment requirements which generally require us to calculate excess cash flow on a quarterly basis, and remit approximately 50% of this excess cash to the lender. This dramatically reduces cash flow available to the company for working capital, accretion of a cash reserve, growth initiatives, or additional acquisitions. These obligations may further adversely impact our business and operations in other areas, including making it more difficult to satisfy our other obligations, increasing our vulnerability in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our markets and possibly placing us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt. The amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement mature on December 31, 2016.  While we are exploring a number of options related to this obligation, including refinancing with a third party, raising additional capital, utilizing availability under the factoring line, or a combination of any of these options, if we should fail to pay the obligation, or extend the due date, an event of default would occur.  Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets and collateral, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to effectively expand and manage our relationships with our publishers.  We do not have any long term contracts with our publishing partners.


We do not generate our own media inventory. Accordingly, we are dependent upon our publishing partners to provide the media which we sell. We depend on these publishers to make their respective media inventories available to us to use in connection with our campaigns that we manage, create or market. We are not a party to any long term agreements with any of our publishing partners and there are no assurances we will have continued access to the media.  Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand and maintain our publisher relationships within our network and to have access to new sources of media inventory such as new partner websites and Facebook pages that offer attractive demographics, innovative and quality content and growing Web user traffic volume. Our ability to attract new publishers to our networks and to retain Web publishers currently in our networks will depend on various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to introduce new and innovative products and services, our pricing policies, and the cost-efficiency to Web publishers of outsourcing their advertising sales. In addition, the number of competing intermediaries that purchase media inventory from Web publishers continues to increase. In the event we are not able to maintain effective relationships with our publishers, our ability to distribute our advertising campaigns will be greatly hindered which will reduce the value of our services and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.


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


Facebook currently provides access to companies to build applications on their platform. We have built our SRAX Social platform to use the Facebook application programming interface, or APIs. The loss of access to the Facebook platform would limit our ability to effectively grow a portion of our operations. We are subject to Facebook's standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on the Facebook platform. Facebook reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Our business would be harmed if Facebook:


·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

develops its own competitive offerings.


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


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


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

We depend on the services of our executive officers and the loss of any of their services could harm our ability to operate our business in future periods


Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, including Christopher Miglino, Erin DeRuggiero, Kristoffer Nelson, Richard Steel and JP Hannan.  We are a party to an employment agreement with each of Mr. Miglino, Ms. DeRuggiero, Mr. Steel and Mr. Hannan, and an "at will" agreement with Mr. Nelson.  Although we do not expect to lose their services in the foreseeable future, the loss of any of them could materially harm our business and operations in future periods until such time as we were able to engage a suitable replacement.  


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


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


·

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

 

 

·

our inability to create applications for our customers;

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

regulatory actions may negatively impact our business practices.


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


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


We may pursue acquisitions in an effort to increase revenue, expand our market position, add to our technological capabilities, or for other purposes. However, any future acquisitions would likely involve risk, including the following:


·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 



7



 





·

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

 

 

·

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


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


We granted the Financing Warrant holder a put right. The possible exercise of this put right could materially impact our liquidity in future periods and will be dilutive to our existing stockholders.


Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we issued to the lender a five year warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment, which we refer to as the "Financing Warrant." Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the note(s) issued under the Financing Agreement, but prior to October 30, 2019, to exercise its put right to sell to us all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised at a price equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of 50% of our total consolidated revenue for the trailing 12-month period ending with our then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, or $1,500,000.  In connection with this offering, the warrant holder has agreed not to exercise the put right prior to earlier of (a) May 15, 2017, and (b) 135 days after the closing of this offering, and (ii) following any exercise of the put right after the expiration of the put standstill period, we will have 45 days to satisfy this obligation.  If the holder of the Financing Warrant was to exercise this put right, our liquidity would be adversely impacted and we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our ongoing operations or pay our other obligations as they become due.  In addition, the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock which are issuable upon the exercise of the Financing Warrant are covered by an effective registration statement.  The issuance of those shares upon the possible exercise of the Financing Warrant will be dilutive to our existing stockholders.


Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Securities


We do not know whether an active, liquid and orderly trading market will develop for our offered securities or what the market price of our offered securities will be and as a result it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our Class A common stock and warrants.


Prior to October 13, 2016 our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTCQB Tier of the OTC Markets and it was thinly traded.  On October 13, 2016 our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and since that date it has been thinly traded. In addition, prior to this offering there has been no market for the warrants.  An active trading market in our Class A common stock or the warrants may never develop or be sustained following this offering. The public offering price for our Class A common stock and warrants was determined through negotiations with the underwriters, and the negotiated price may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock or the warrants after this offering. The market value of our Class A common stock or the warrants may decrease from the public offering price. As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our Class A common stock or warrants at or above the public offering price. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares or warrants. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our Class A common stock and may impair our ability to enter into collaborations or acquire companies or products by using our shares of Class A common stock as consideration. The market price of our offered securities may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include:


·

the success of competitive products;

 

 

·

actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;

 

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;

 

 

·

regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;

 

 

·

the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

 

 

·

the level of expenses;

 

 

·

actual or anticipated changes in estimates s to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;

 

 

·

variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

 

 

·

fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

 

 

·

inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;

 

 

·

announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;

 

 

·

sales of our Class A common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders;

 

 

·

market conditions in the technology sectors; and

 

 

·

general economic, industry and market conditions.


In addition, the stock market in general, and advertising technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The realization of any of these risks could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants.


We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.


The market price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business. To the extent that any claims or suits are brought against us and successfully concluded, we could be materially adversely affected, jeopardizing our ability to operate successfully. Furthermore, our human and capital resources of could be adversely affected by the need to defend any such actions, even if we are ultimately successful in our defense.

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


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


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


As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have yet to fully remediate the previously identified material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. While we have never been required to restate our consolidated financial statements, the existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our consolidated financials is possible.


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


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


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


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

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the trading price of our Class A common stock or warrants and trading volume could decline.


The trading market for our shares of our Class A common stock and warrants will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our shares of Class A common stock or warrants. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our shares of our Class A common stock and warrants would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which might cause the trading price of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants and trading volume to decline.


Our company has a concentration of stock ownership and control, which may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control


Our Class A common stock ownership is highly concentrated.   Members of our board of directors beneficially own approximately 50% of our total outstanding shares of Class A common stock.  As a result of the concentrated ownership of the stock, our board of directors may be able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company. It could also deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and it may affect the market price of our Class A common stock.


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


At September 30, 2016 we had common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 2,362,776 shares of our Class A common stock with an average exercise price of $6.17 per share which are exercisable on a cashless basis. This means that the holders, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. In addition, the exercise price of the Financing Warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share is payable at the option of the warrant holder through a reduction in the principal outstanding under the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. It is possible that the warrant holders will use the cashless exercise feature, and that the holder of the Financing Warrant will elect to pay the exercise price through a reduction in the amount owed. In either event, it will deprive us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis.


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


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

USE OF PROCEEDS


Unless otherwise indicated in an accompanying prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, and development costs.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


Our authorized capital is 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 9,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of November 14, 2016 there were 6,941,077 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of our Class B common stock or any series of preferred stock.  The following description of our common stock and our preferred stock is a summary. You should refer to our articles of incorporation for the actual terms of our capital stock.


Common stock


Class A common stock


Holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, and vote together with the holders of our Class B common stock as one class. Holders of common Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares on our common equity from legally available funds. If such dividends are in the form of stock, the Class A common stockholder holders will receive shares of our Class A common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of any shares of our preferred stock which may then be outstanding, each outstanding share of Class A common stock entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over either class of our common stock.  Holders of Class A common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the Class A common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is authorized and issued.


Class B common stock


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


·

at the option of the holder;

 

 

·

upon the "transfer" of the share; and

 

 

·

upon the death of the stockholder.




12



 


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


·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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


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


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


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


Preferred stock


Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.  We previously designated a series of preferred stock, consisting of 200,000 shares, as Series 1 Preferred Stock.  All such shares have been converted into shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the designations, rights and preferences of the Series 1 Preferred Stock.  This series of preferred stock has been eliminated and we do not presently have any designated series of preferred stock.


Special approval for change in control transactions


Our certificate of incorporation provides that in the event a person seeks to acquire us by means of a merger or consolidation transaction, a purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, or an issuance of stock which constitutes 2% or more of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance and which results in any person or group owning more than 50% of our outstanding voting power, then these types of acquisition transactions must be approved by our stockholders at an annual or special meeting. At this meeting, we must obtain the approval of stockholders representing the greater of:


·

A majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock; and

 

 

·

60% of the voting power of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the stockholder meeting and entitled to vote.

a syndicate covering transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in connection with the offering; or

 

 

·

a penalty bid means an arrangement that permits the managing underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member in connection with the offering when offered securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in syndicate covering transactions.


These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.  Underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, or to continue such activities if commenced.


If a dealer is used in the sale, Social Reality will sell such offered securities to the dealer, as principal.  The dealer may then resell the offered securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by that dealer at the time for resale.  The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that transaction.


Offered securities may be sold directly by Social Reality to one or more institutional purchasers, or through agents designated by us from time to time, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.  Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by Social Reality to that agent will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.  Unless otherwise indicated in such prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.


Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.  Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.


Other than our Class A common stock, which is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, each of the securities issued hereunder will be a new issue of securities, will have no prior trading market, and may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.  Any Class A common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance.  Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.  We cannot assure you that there will be a market for the offered securities.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES


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

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


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