First Quarter 2014 Event

Raised an additional $1.5 Million of financing for the company at $1.50 Per Share

Transitioned off of our reliance of the Google API’s and launched our own RTB platform. During the first quarter of 2014 we made this transition, which caused downtime between ending our reliance on Google ADX and launching our proprietary platform. This transition, which has now been completed caused a temporary reduction in revenue in our first quarter 2014.
