SRAX Announces Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
Social Reality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, today announced that on April 7, 2019, management of Social Reality, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded and the audit committee of the Company has concurred that the Company’s 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 that its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017 should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, related press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. The errors identified are all non-cash and primarily related to the Company’s classification of certain outstanding warrants with provisions that allow the warrant holder to force cash redemption under certain circumstances.
Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company is providing the following estimates regarding the aggregate impact of these errors on consolidated total current liabilities, total liabilities, equity, other income, net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., for each of the periods presented:

Since the Company has not yet fully completed its review, the estimates regarding the impact set forth above are preliminary and remain subject to change.
In connection with the restatement, management has determined that a material weakness related to the accounting for financing transactions in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting existed for the periods from March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2018. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2018, and the Company’s management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018.
The Company anticipates that it will file amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, to amend and restate its financial condition and financial results for the affected periods as soon as practicable.
