Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

MeetMe, Inc. (the “Company”) is a location-based social network for meeting new people on mobile platforms, including on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets, and the web that facilitates interactions among users and encourages users to connect and chat with each other. The Company monetizes through advertising, in-app purchases, and paid subscriptions. The Company provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing and other topics of interest. The Company offers online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. The Company works with its advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement.

Just as Facebook has established itself as the social network of friends and family, and LinkedIn as the social network of colleagues and business professionals, MeetMe is creating the social network not of the people you know but of the people you want to know. The Company believes meeting new people is a basic human need, especially for users aged 18-30, when so many long-lasting relationships are made.

We believe that we have significant growth opportunities as people increasingly use their mobile devices to discover the people around them. Given the importance of establishing connections within a user’s geographic proximity, the Company believes it is critical to establish a high density of users within the geographic regions it serves. As the Company’s network grows and the number of users in a location increases, the Company believes that users who are seeking to meet new people will incrementally benefit from the quantity of relevant connections.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the date the consolidated financial statements. Normally a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MeetMe and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive) and MeetMe Online S/S Ltda. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the year ending December 31, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, income taxes, contingencies, goodwill and intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company’s estimates often are based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. For any given individual estimate or assumption made by the Company, there may also be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable.

The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors, including the economic environment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause it to change those estimates and assumptions. Market conditions, such as illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency rates and economic downturn, can increase the uncertainty already inherent in its estimates and assumptions. The Company adjusts its estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances indicate the need for change. Those changes generally will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis unless they are required to be treated retrospectively under the relevant accounting standard. It is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. The Company is also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, such as changes in competition, litigation, legislation and regulations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company earns revenue from the display of advertisements on its mobile apps and website, primarily based on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) model. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and ASC 605-45, “Principal Agent Considerations”(together, the “ASC Guidance”). Revenue from advertising on the Company’s website and mobile apps is generally recognized on a net basis, since the majority of its advertising revenues come from advertising agencies. The guidance provides indicators for determining whether “gross” or “net” presentation is appropriate. While all indicators should be considered, the Company believes that whether it acted as a primary obligor in its agreements with advertising agencies is the strongest indicator of whether gross or net revenue reporting is appropriate.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had transactions with several partners that qualify for principal-agent considerations. The Company recognizes revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities, pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for advertising and with other partners for royalties on product sales. The Company considered two key factors when making its revenue recognition determinations: (1) whether the Company performed a service for a fee, similar to an agent or a broker and (2) whether the Company was involved in the determination of product or service specifications. The Company focused on the substance of the agreements and determined that net presentation was representationally faithful to the substance, as well as the form, of the agreements. The form of the agreements was such that the Company provided services in exchange for a fee. In addition, the Company has no latitude in establishing price, and the advertising agencies were solely responsible for determining pricing with third party advertisers. The Company determined only the fee for providing its services to advertising agencies.

In instances in which the Company works directly with an advertiser, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. The Company is the primary obligor in arrangements made with direct advertisers, as there is no third party facilitating or managing the sales process. The Company is solely responsible for determining price, product or service specifications, and which advertisers to use. The Company assumes all credit risk in the sales arrangements made with direct advertisers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s revenue was generated from two principal sources: revenue earned from the sales of advertising on the Company’s mobile applications and website and revenue earned from in-app products.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising and custom sponsorship revenues consist primarily of advertising fees earned from the display of advertisements on the Company’s website and mobile applications. Revenue from advertising is generally recognized as advertisements are delivered. The Company recognizes advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis. Approximately 85% and 82% of the Company’s revenue came from advertising during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In-App Purchases

Revenue is earned from in-app purchase products sold to our mobile application and website users. The Company offers in-app products such as Credits. Users buy Credits to purchase the Company’s virtual products. These products put users in the spotlight, helping users to get more attention from the community in order to meet more people faster. Revenue from these virtual products is recognized over time. Credits can be purchased using PayPal on the website and iTunes and Google checkout on mobile applications. Platform users do not own the Credits but have a limited right to use the credits on virtual products offered for sale on the Company’s platform. Credits are non-refundable, the Company may change the purchase price of Credits at any time, and the Company reserves the right to stop issuing Credits in the future. The Company’s in-app products are not transferable, cannot be sold or exchanged outside our platform, are not redeemable for any sum of money, and can only be used on the Company’s platform. In-app products are recorded in deferred revenue when purchased and recognized as revenue when: (i) the credits are used by the customer; or (ii) the Company determines the likelihood of the credits being redeemed by the customer is remote (breakage) and there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed credits to the relevant jurisdiction. The determination of the breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. Breakage is recognized in revenue as the credits are used on a pro rata basis over a three month period (life of the user) beginning at the date of the Credits sale and is included in revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Breakage recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $299,000 and $248,000, respectively. For “MeetMe+” and other subscription based products, the Company recognizes revenue over the term of the subscription.

The Company also earns revenue from advertisement products from currency engagement actions (i.e. sponsored engagement advertisements) by users on all of the Company’s platforms, including cost-per-action (“CPA”) currency incented promotions and sales on its proprietary cross-platform currency monetization product, “Social Theater.” The Company controls and develops the Social Theater product and CPA promotions and acts as a user’s principal in these transactions and recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis when collections are reasonably assured and upon delivery of the Credits to the user’s account. When a user performs an action, the user earns Credits and the Company earns product revenue from the advertiser.

Social Theater is a product that allows the Company to offer advertisers a way to leverage the Facebook platform through guaranteed actions by Facebook’s user base. Social Theater is also hosted on the Company’s platform. Typical guaranteed actions available to advertisers are video views, fan page growth, quizzes and surveys. Social Theater revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and the service has been rendered. The Social Theater prices are both fixed and determinable based on the contract with the advertiser. The user completes an action and the electronic record of the transaction triggers the revenue recognition. The collection of the Social Theater revenue is reasonably assured by contractual obligation and historical payment performance. The delivery of virtual currency from the hosting platform to a user evidences the completion of the action required by the customer that the service has been rendered for Social Theater revenue recognition.

Beanstock Media Inc.

Web Agreement

On September 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Media Publisher Agreement (the “Web Agreement”) with Beanstock Media, Inc. (“Beanstock”). The Web Agreement was effective from September 23, 2013 until June 2, 2015 when the Company terminated the Web Agreement as a result of non-payment by Beanstock of amounts owed.

Pursuant to the Web Agreement, Beanstock had the exclusive right and obligation to fill all of the Company’s remnant desktop in-page display advertising inventory on www.meetme.com (the “Site”), excluding, (i) any inventory sold to a third party under an insertion order that was campaign or advertiser specific, (ii) any inventory the Company reserved in existing and future agreements with third parties for barter transactions and as additional consideration as part of larger business development transactions, and (iii) any inventory reserved for premium advertising for the Site. The Company could have continued to place inventory outside of the Web Agreement in direct sales.

Beanstock was obligated to pay for all advertising requests that the Company delivered, whether or not Beanstock filled them. For the United States, Beanstock was obligated to pay the Company specified CPM rates plus a percentage of revenue in excess of those rates; for the rest of the world, Beanstock was obligated to pay the Company 90% of its net ad revenue for the Site.

The Company could terminate the Web Agreement at any time without charge or penalty by providing written notice to Beanstock. Either party could terminate the Web Agreement if the other party was in material breach of its obligations and did not cure such breach, or if the other party filed a petition for bankruptcy, became insolvent, made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or a receiver is appointed for such party or its business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $1,300,000 under the terms of the Web Agreement, respectively. On June 2, 2015, the Company terminated the Web Agreement as a result of non-payment by Beanstock of amounts owed, and resumed managing its web advertising inventory in-house. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that the approximately $1,300,000 receivable in connection with the Web Agreement was deemed uncollectible and as a result the Company incurred a bad debt expense of the entire amount.

Mobile Agreement

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into an Advertising Agreement with Beanstock (the “Mobile Agreement”). On June 2, 2015, the Company terminated the Mobile agreement with Beanstock as a result of non-payment by Beanstock of amounts owed.

Pursuant to the Mobile Agreement, Beanstock had the right and obligation to fill substantially all of the Company’s advertising inventory on its MeetMe mobile app for iOS and Android, as well as the Site when accessed using a mobile device and as optimized for mobile devices (collectively, the “App”). The Mobile Agreement did not apply to interstitially-placed advertisements, advertisements on versions of the App specific to the iPad and other Apple tablet devices, other mobile apps or in-app products or features on the App, including, without limitation, offer wall features and the Company’s Social Theater business.

Under the Mobile Agreement, the Company began placing ad calls (not including prior test calls) with Beanstock on March 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”).

The Company could, on a basis substantially consistent with its advertising display logic (as set forth in the Mobile Agreement) (“Ad Logic”), (i) add additional sections or features to the App and provide them with ads, and (ii) change the locations and sizes of particular ad placements within the App; in any such case, all resulting ad placements would be subject to the Mobile Agreement. In addition, if the Company wished to increase the number, type, frequency or scope of placements in the Ad Logic, it would be required to first notify Beanstock and upon Beanstock’s written consent, such additional inventory would be added to the Ad Logic. If Beanstock withheld or denied said consent, then the additional inventory would remain outside of the scope of the Mobile Agreement and the Company could fill it otherwise.

Beanstock was required to pay for all ad requests that the Company delivered whether or not Beanstock filled them. Beanstock was required to pay specified CPM rates depending on the type of ad; provided, however, that if more than a stated percentage of impressions originated outside of the United States and Canada, then Beanstock was required to pay the Company a percentage of Beanstock’s gross revenue relating to such international ad impressions in excess of that percentage.

Beanstock was required to remit payments due to the Company within thirty days following the last day of each calendar month for that month regardless of advertiser campaign duration; provided, however, that if the balance owing under the Mobile Agreement exceeded a stated amount, then the Company could request Beanstock to accelerate payments so that the balance does not at any point exceed that amount, and Beanstock would be required do so within ten days and for so long as necessary to keep said balance under that amount. Beanstock assumed all risk with regards to collection of all applicable advertiser fees with respect to all of the advertising inventory and was not permitted to delay payment to the Company as a result of non-collection or delay of payment of fees by advertisers. Beanstock was not permitted to withhold or offset amounts owing the Mobile Agreement for any reason.

The Company determined the number of ad calls that it would place under the Mobile Agreement. If Beanstock determined that number to be less than 90% of the Company’s number for any particular month and the parties could not resolve the discrepancy, then the ad call number for that month would be 90% of the number that the Company originally determined.

Beanstock agreed to comply with the Company’s advertising editorial guidelines as in effect from time to time.

The Company could terminate the Mobile Agreement upon written notice (i) from the date thereof to the sixtieth day after the Effective Date, or (ii) if, in the Company’s sole discretion, the placement or running of ads on the App caused a diminution in user experience, including without limitation with respect to the crash rate.

In addition, the Mobile Agreement could be terminated upon written notice by (A) either party if the other party (i) was in material breach of its obligations and that party failed to cure said breach within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party, or (ii) filed a petition for bankruptcy, became insolvent, made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or a receiver was appointed for such other party or its business, or (B) the Company if Beanstock failed to pay any amount thereunder when due (any of the events in this sentence, “Cause”). If the Company terminated the Agreement for Cause or Beanstock terminated it wrongfully, then Beanstock would be required to pay the Company a stated amount as liquidated damages.

Effective March 26, 2015, the Company amended the Mobile Agreement with Beanstock (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company provided certain price reductions on its invoices to Beanstock for the months of March, 2015 and April, 2015, contingent upon certain events to which Beanstock was required to certify. The Amendment provided that the Company would implement certain changes to the Ad Logic for the App by May 1, 2015 as well as make certain product changes with respect to the App by June 1, 2015. The Amendment increased the amount of liquidated damages payable by Beanstock under certain circumstances and provided the Company with a right to terminate the Mobile Agreement for convenience until September 1, 2015, and after such date with either sufficient advance notice or by paying a stated termination fee.

On May 6, 2015, the Company entered into a second amendment and joinder to the Mobile Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Beanstock would pay in full (i) the invoice dated March 31, 2015, under the Mobile Agreement (a portion of which remained overdue) on or before June 30, 2015 and (ii) all other amounts under the Mobile Agreement and the Web Agreement as they became due. In addition, Adaptive Medias, Inc. (“Adaptive”) joined as a party to the Mobile Agreement to guarantee Beanstock’s payment obligations under both the Mobile Agreement and the Web Agreement. If Beanstock failed to pay any amounts due under either the Mobile Agreement or the Web Agreement, Adaptive would immediately, upon demand, pay all such owed amounts in full.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $1,600,000, respectively, under the terms of the Mobile Agreement. On June 2, 2015, the Company terminated the Mobile Agreement as a result of non-payment by Beanstock of amounts owed, and resumed managing its mobile advertising inventory in-house. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that the approximately $4,400,000 receivable in connection with the Mobile Agreement was deemed uncollectible and as a result the Company incurred a bad debt expense of the entire amount.

In 2015, the accounts receivable balance written-off under both agreements was approximately $5,700,000. In addition, Beanstock owes the Company $4,000,000 of liquated damages under the Mobile Agreement that have not been recorded in the financial statements and are not included in the approximately $5,700,000 bad debt write-off.

Pinsight Media

On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Advertising Agreement with Pinsight Media+, Inc. (“Pinsight”) (as amended, the “Pinsight Agreement”). The Pinsight Agreement was effective from October 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, with a post-termination transition period that ended on March 1, 2015.

Pursuant to the Pinsight Agreement, Pinsight had the right and obligation to fill all of the Company’s advertising inventory on the App. The Pinsight Agreement did not apply to other mobile apps or virtual currency features on the App, including without limitation offer wall features and the Company’s Social Theater business.

Pinsight was obligated to pay for all ad requests that the Company delivered, whether or not Pinsight fills them. Pinsight paid specified CPM rates depending on the type of ad. The stated CPM rates for certain ads were subject to renegotiation under certain conditions; in such case, if the parties did not agree on a modified rate, then such ads would be excluded from the Agreement.

Pinsight assumed all risk with regards to collection of all applicable advertiser fees with respect to all advertising inventory and was not permitted to delay payment to the Company as a result of non-collection or delay of payment by the advertisers.

Pinsight was obligated to comply with the Company’s advertising editorial guidelines as in effect from time to time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $5,100,000 in revenue under the terms of the Pinsight Agreement, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for senior loans payable, net of discount, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same. Certain common stock warrants are carried at fair value as disclosed in Note 2. The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and management's estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average quarterly rates of exchange for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in other income (expense). The Company’s foreign operations were substantially liquidated in the first quarter of 2015. Due to our current reporting metrics, providing revenues from users attributed to the U.S. and revenues from users attributed to all other countries is impracticable.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options and warrants using the average market prices during the period.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the following:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Numerator:
Net income	$	2,354,898	$	722,054

Denominator:
Weighted-average shares outstanding		47,458,748		44,910,034
Effect of dilutive securities		6,207,878		3,336,729

Basic income per share	$	0.05	$	0.02
Diluted income per share	$	0.04	$	0.01

The following table summarizes the number of dilutive securities, which may dilute future earnings per share, outstanding for each of the periods presented, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share:

Totals		8,297,781		11,762,492

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market funds maintained by major U.S. banks and financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash equivalents.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Except with respect to the Beanstock write-offs described above, the Company has no history of significant losses from uncollectible accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, two customers comprised approximately 47% and 69% of total revenues, respectively. Two customers comprised 51% and 52% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company does not expect its current or future credit risk exposure to have a significant impact on its operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s business will not experience any adverse impact from credit risk in the future.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers("ASU 2014-09").ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASC Topic 605,Revenue Recognitionand most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date("ASU 2015-14"). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to December 15, 2017 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after that date and permits early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)("ASU 2016-08") clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Specifically, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of a promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The determination influences the timing and amount of revenue recognition. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. Specifically, the amendments reduce the cost and complexity of identifying promised goods or services and improves the guidance for determining whether promises are separately identifiable. The amendments also provide implementation guidance on determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity's intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity's intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09. As a result, this guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements, nor decided upon the method of adoption.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, or ASU 2014-12. ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist which raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new standard requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The update requires the guidance to be applied retrospectively. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which will require entities to present all deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) as non-current on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may choose whether to adopt this update prospectively or retrospectively. On December 31, 2015, we elected to adopt ASU 2015-17 and changed our method of classifying DTAs and DTLs as either current or non-current to classifying all DTAs and DTLs as non-current, using a prospective method. Prior balance sheets were not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such these investments may be measured at cost. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurement(“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market mutual funds and warrants to purchase common stock. During the periods presented, the Company has not changed the manner in which it values assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Items		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total
March 31, 2016
Assets
Money market	$	15,034,389	$	—	$	—	$	15,034,389
Total assets	$	15,034,389	$	—	$	—	$	15,034,389
Liabilities
Warrants to purchase common stock	$	—	$	—	$	793,360	$	793,360
Total Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	793,360	$	793,360

Warrants to purchase common stock	$	—	$	—	$	1,035,137	$	1,035,137
Total Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	1,035,137	$	1,035,137

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company's Common Stock warrant liability, which represents a recurring measurement that is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, wherein fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs:

	Convertible Common Stock Warrant Liability
Balance as of December 31, 2015	$	1,035,137
Changes in estimated fair value		(241,777	)
Balance as of March 31, 2016	$	793,360

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015.

The fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance and on each re-measurement date classified as liabilities is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: contractual life according to the remaining terms of the warrants, no dividend yield, weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.78% at March 31, 2016 and weighted average volatility of 83.65%. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company's various classes of preferred stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants is considered a Level 3 measurement. The warrant liability is recorded in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liability is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) until the warrants are exercised, expire or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument.

Note 5—Long-Term Debt

Senior Loans Payable

Term Loan

On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into an $8.0 million loan and security agreement with Venture Lending & Leasing VI, Inc. & Venture Lending & Leasing VII, Inc., at an 11% fixed interest rate, maturing in 36 months, and which was able to be drawn in three tranches (the “Loan”). On April 29, 2013, the Company drew $5.0 million on the facility. Interest is payable monthly for the first six months of the loan term, and monthly principal and interest payments are due thereafter through the maturity date. The Company issued warrants to each of the lenders in conjunction with the loan facility with an initial aggregate exercise price of $800,000, which increased by $200,000 with the first tranche and would have increased by $300,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the Loan had the Company drawn on either tranche. The Loan is net of the initial value of the warrants. The initial value of the warrants has been capitalized within the other assets section of the consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the loan. Amortization expense was $0 and $63,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 respectively, and is included on the statement of operations and comprehensive income in interest expense. The lenders have a priority first security lien on substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the Loan.

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain fixed assets under capital leases that expire through 2017. The Company leases its operating facilities in the U.S. under certain noncancelable operating leases that expire through 2018. These leases are renewable at the Company’s option.

Rent expense for the operating leases was approximately $405,000 and $567,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Capital Leases

In 2012, the Company executed two noncancelable master lease agreements, one with Dell Financial Services and one with HP Financial Services. Both are for the purchase or lease of equipment for the Company’s data centers. Principal and interest are payable monthly at interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 8.0% per annum, rates varying based on the type of equipment purchased. The capital leases are secured by the leased equipment, and outstanding principal and interest are due respectively through October 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company did not enter into any new capital lease agreements.

A summary of minimum future rental payments required under capital and operating leases as of March 31, 2016 are as follows:

	Capital Leases			Operating Leases
Remaining in 2016	$	267,099		$	1,235,345

Litigation

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. We operate our business online, which is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governments.

On April 30, 2015, plaintiff F. Stephen Allen served a complaint on the Company that he filed on April 23, 2015, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma accusing the Company of breach of contract for its alleged failure to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for warrant shares. The complaint sought damages of not less than $4 million. On December 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement and Release of Claims”) with F. Stephen Allen, resolving all claims relating to F. Stephen Allen v. MeetMe, Inc., Cause No. 4:15-cv-210-GKF-TLW. Pursuant to the Settlement and Release of Claims, the Company will (i) pay F. Stephen Allen $225,000, (ii) enter into a one year consulting agreement in exchange for a grant of 50,000 stock options, (iii) modify the terms of his outstanding Series 2 and Series 3 warrants, to reduce the amount outstanding under the Series 2 by 50,000 and to extend the expiration date on both Series 2 and Series 3 by 15 months to June 21, 2017.On December 23, 2015, the Court dismissed the litigation with prejudice.

On August 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement and Release”) with the People of the State of California (the “People”) resolving all claims relating toPeople of the State of California, ex rel. Dennis Herrera, San Francisco City Attorney v. MeetMe, Inc., et al.(Case No. CGC 14-537126), filed in the Superior Court of California, City of San Francisco, on February 3, 2014 (the “Litigation”). Pursuant to the Settlement and Release, (A) the Company agreed,inter alia, to (i) implement a number of privacy-related product changes, (ii) restate its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and (iii) pay $200,000 to the People. On August 19, 2015, the Court dismissed the litigation with prejudice.

On September 29, 2015, the Company filed suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, against Beanstock and Adaptive for collection of approximately $10 million, in the aggregate, due under the Web Agreement and the Mobile Agreement. On September 28, 2015, Adaptive filed suit in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the Company, Beanstock, et al., alleging, in pertinent part, that the Company “aided and abetted” an individual who was an officer and director of Adaptive to breach his fiduciary duty to Adaptive with respect to Adaptive’s joining the Mobile Agreement. Adaptive’s complaint seeks from the Company $600,000 plus unspecified punitive damages. The Company believes Adaptive’s allegations against it are without merit, and intends to defend against them and to pursue its collection action against Beanstock and Adaptive vigorously.On January 20, 2015, the Company received notice from the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case against Beanstock had been filed on October 7, 2015. Both of the state court actions have been stayed by the courts as a result of the bankruptcy filing against Beanstock.

Future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

Note 7—Stockholder’s Equity

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors may, without further action by the stockholders, issue a series of Preferred Stock and fix the rights and preferences of those shares, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences, the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series.

In November 2011, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1”) to Mexicans & Americans Trading Together, Inc. (“MATT Inc.”) for $5,000,000. MATT Inc. was an existing stockholder of the Company. The Series A-1 shares were convertible, at MATT Inc.’s option, into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38, and have voting rights on an as-converted basis. The holders of the Series A-1 did not have any change of control or liquidation preferences. In December 2015, MATT Inc. converted all of its outstanding Series A-1 shares into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Common Stock

The total number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, that the Company is authorized to issue is 100,000,000.

The Company issued 331,893 shares and 231,900 shares of common stock in connection with the exercises of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company issued 0 shares and 557,603 shares of common stock in connection with restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. There were no warrants exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. During the three month ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 200,000 and 0 warrants expired, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. During 2016 and 2015, the Company continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since the Company’s stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.

The Company began granting restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to its employees in April 2013. The cost of the RSAs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for RSAs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSAs generally vest over a three-year period with 33% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting annually thereafter.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Stock-based compensation expense includes incremental stock-based compensation expense and is allocated on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Sales and marketing	$	60,437	$	66,826
Product development and content		303,697		320,835
General and administrative		363,646		227,604
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	727,780	$	615,265

As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $3.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to stock options and restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two years. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $2.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSAs, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately two years.

Stock Option Plans

2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On August 11, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), providing for the issuance of up to 8,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, including approximately 2,100,000 shares previously approved by the Company’s stockholders under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”), less one share of common stock for every one share of common stock that was subject to an option or other award granted after December 31, 2011 under the 2006 Stock Plan, plus an additional number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the 2006 Stock Plan that either terminate, expire, or are forfeited after December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2016, there were approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock available for grant. A summary of stock option activity under the 2012 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

Options	Number of Stock Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining ContractualLife		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2015		2,972,378		$	2.06
Granted		22,500			3.04
Exercised		(71,046	)		1.88

Outstanding at March 31, 2016		2,916,331		$	2.07		8.4	$	2,373,126
Exercisable at March 31, 2016		1,260,716		$	2.30		7.8	$	770,070

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Risk-free interest rate		1.25	%		1.58	%
Expected term (in years)		6.0			6.0
Expected dividend yield		—			—
Expected volatility		74	%		83	%

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company granted no RSAs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Shares are forfeited if not vested within three years from the date of grant, and vest in three equal annual increments. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSAs of approximately $417,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. A summary of RSA activity under the 2012 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

RSA's	Number of RSAs			Weighted-Average Stock Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2015		2,072,957		$	1.84

Outstanding at March 31, 2016		2,015,423		$	1.84
Unvested at March 31, 2016		2,015,423		$	1.84

2006 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 27, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Plan, providing for the issuance of up to 3,700,000 shares of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan that either terminate, expire, or lapse after the date of the Board of Directors’ approval of the 2006 Stock Plan.

In 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Plan to authorize the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock. In November 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Plan to authorize the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock. On June 4, 2010, the Company’s stockholders ratified this amendment to the 2006 Stock Plan. In June 2011 and November 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved amendments to the 2006 Stock Plan to authorize the issuances of 4,000,000 additional shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Stock Plan, eligible individuals could be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or stock grant awards.

A summary of stock option activity under the 2006 Stock Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

Options	Number of Stock Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2015		6,844,301		$	2.22
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(260,847	)		1.15

Exercisable at March 31, 2016		6,524,275		$	2.24		3.3	$	7,085,800

Non-Plan Options

The Board of Directors has approved and our stockholders have ratified the issuance of stock options outside of our stock incentive plans. A summary of Non-Plan option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

Options	Number of Stock Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2015		443,038	$	1.34

Note 8—Income Taxes

At March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $94,317 primarily due to the limitation on the utilization of net operating losses to offset Alternative Minimum Taxable (AMT) income which creates an AMT liability for federal tax purposes and certain state income tax liabilities in jurisdictions where no net operating loss carryovers are available. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had net deferred tax assets that were fully offset by a valuation allowance, as management believes that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deductible differences. The deferred tax assets at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are principally the result of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $57 million and $61 million, respectively. The Company has completed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 study to determine annual limitations on the usability of its net operating loss carryforwards due to historical changes in ownership. That study concluded that $57 million of such accumulated net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2016, subject to annual limitation, should be available to offset future taxable income during the carryover period which extends through 2033. If unused, these net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2033.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no material changes in uncertain tax positions.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include users’ willingness to try new product offerings and engage in our App upgrades and new features, the risk that unanticipated events affect the functionality of our App with popular mobile operating systems, any changes in such operating systems that degrade our App’s functionality and other unexpected issues which could adversely affect usage on mobile devices, the risk that the mobile advertising market will not grow, the ongoing existence of such demand and the willingness of our users to complete mobile offers or pay for Credits. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements. MD&A contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed elsewhere in“Risk Factors,”located at Part II, Item 1A of this report and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2015. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial position, future results or prospects.

MD&A is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“Annual Report”), as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this report.

Company Overview

MeetMe is a location-based social network for meeting new people on mobile platforms, including on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets, and the web that facilitates interactions among users and encourages users to connect with each other. MeetMe monetizes through advertising, in-app purchases and paid subscriptions. MeetMe provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing, and other topics of interest. The Company offers online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. The Company works with its advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement.

Just as Facebook has established itself as the social network of friends and family, and LinkedIn as the social network of colleagues and business professionals, MeetMe is creating the social network not of the people you know but of the people you want to know. We believe meeting new people is a basic human need, especially for users aged 18-30, when so many long-lasting relationships are made.

We believe that we have significant growth opportunities as people increasingly use their mobile devices to discover the people around them. Given the importance of establishing connections within a user’s geographic proximity, we believe it is critical to establish a high density of users within the geographic regions we serve. As the MeetMe network grows and the number of users in a location increases, we believe that users who are seeking to meet new people will incrementally benefit from the quantity of relevant connections.

Operating Metrics

We measure website and application activity in terms of monthly active users (“MAUs”) and daily active users (“DAUs”). We define MAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who has logged in and visited within the last month of measurement. We define DAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who has logged in and visited within the day of measurement. For the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the total MeetMe MAUs were approximately 5.33 million and 5.21 million, respectively, and total MeetMe DAUs were approximately 1.22 million and 1.18 million, respectively. The aggregate total of registered users on MeetMe platforms was approximately 143 million and 117 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

	Monthly Average for the
	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
MAU- MeetMe		5,330,978		5,207,496

	For the Quarter Ended
	March 31,
	2016		2015
DAU- MeetMe		1,220,830		1,177,550

Trends in Our Metrics

In addition to MAUs and DAUs, we measure activity on MeetMe in terms of average revenue per user (“ARPU”) and average daily revenue per daily active user (“ARPDAU”). We define ARPU as the average quarterly revenue per MAU. We define ARPDAU as the average quarterly revenue per DAU. We define mobile MAU as a user who accessed our sites by a one of our mobile applications or by the mobile optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet during the month of measurement. We define a mobile DAU as a user who accessed our sites by one of our mobile applications or by the mobile optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet during the day of measurement. Visits represent the number of times during the measurement period that users came to the website or mobile applications for distinct sessions. A page view is a page that a user views during a visit.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, MeetMe averaged 4.40 million mobile MAUs and 5.33 million total MAUs on average, as compared to 3.54 million mobile MAUs and 5.21 million total MAUs on average in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a net increase of 860,000 or 24% for mobile MAUs, and a net increase of 123,000 or 2% for total MeetMe MAUs. Mobile DAUs were 1.14 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, an 11% increase, from 1.03 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, MeetMe averaged 1.22 million total DAUs, as compared to 1.18 million total DAUs on average for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a net increase of approximately 43,000 total DAUs, or 4%.

We believe the shift of our audience from web to mobile is an important driver of our business. Although decreasing web traffic has resulted in declining web revenue, we have successfully increased our mobile revenue by 43% and our mobile ARPDAU by 27% to $11.7 million and $0.113, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $8.24 million and $0.089, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. We believe our ability to continue to grow our mobile audience and our mobile monetization at a faster pace than the decline in our web revenue will impact the performance of our business.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, MeetMe earned an average of $0.51 ARPU on the web and $2.67 ARPU in our mobile applications, as compared to $0.78 in web ARPU and $2.33 in mobile ARPU for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, MeetMe earned an average of $0.068 in web ARPDAU and $0.113 in mobile ARPDAU, as compared to $0.102 in web ARPDAU and $0.089 in mobile ARPDAU for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

First Quarter of 2016 Highlights

●

Mobile revenue was $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 42% from $8.2 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

●

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2016. Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $2.4 million. (See the important discussion about the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, below.)

●

Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $26.4 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $7.1 million, from $19.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe the following factors affect our performance:

●

Number of MAUs and DAUs: We believe our ability to grow web and mobile MAUs and DAUs affects our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those advertisements, and the volume of in-app purchases, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

●

User Engagement: We believe changes in user engagement patterns affect our revenue and financial performance. Specifically, the number of visits and page views each MAU or DAU generates affects the number of advertisements we are able to display and therefore the rate at which we are able to monetize our active user base. We continue to create new features and enhance existing features to drive additional engagement.

●

Advertising Rates: We believe our revenue and financial results are materially dependent on industry trends, and any changes to the revenue we earn per thousand advertising impressions (CPM) could affect our revenue and financial results. We expect to continue investing in new types of advertising and new placements, especially in our mobile applications. Additionally, we are prioritizing initiatives that generate revenue directly from users, including new virtual currency products and a premium subscription product, in part to reduce our dependency on advertising revenue.

●

User Geography: The geography of our users influences our revenue and financial results because we currently monetize users in distinct geographies at varying average rates. For example, ARPU in the United States and Canada is significantly higher than in Latin America. We laid the foundation for future international growth by localizing the core MeetMe service into twelve languages in addition to English. We plan to continue to invest in user growth across the world, including in geographies where current per user monetization rates are relatively lower than in the United States and Canada.

●

New User Sources: The percentage of our new users that are acquired through inorganic, paid sources impacts our financial performance, specifically with regard to ARPU for web and mobile. Inorganically acquired users tend to have lower engagement rates, tend to generate fewer visits and ad impressions and to be less likely to make in-app purchases. When paid marketing campaigns are ongoing, our overall usage and traffic increases due to the influx of inorganically acquired users, but the rate at which we monetize the average active user overall declines as a result.

●

Ad Inventory Management: Our revenue trends are affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display. In general, more prominently displayed advertising units generate more revenue per impression. Our Social Theater campaign expenses are materially dependent on the percentage of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe versus the percentage that run on other networks. We work to maximize the share of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe and run campaigns on other networks only when necessary.

●

Increased Social Theater Competition: A significant portion of the revenue generated by the Social Theater is derived from advertising campaigns, powered by Social Theater technology, that run on networks other than MeetMe. A recent increase in competitors offering similar technology solutions, and in some cases their own cross-platform distribution networks, has made it more difficult to compete on price and win business. We expect this downward pressure on price to continue and impact our operating results in the future.

●

Seasonality: Advertising spending is traditionally seasonal with a peak in the fourth quarter of each year. We believe that this seasonality in advertising spending affects our quarterly results, which generally reflect a growth in advertising revenue between the third and fourth quarters and a decline in advertising spending between the fourth and subsequent first and second quarters each year.

Growth trends in web and mobile MAUs and DAUs affect our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those advertisements, the volume of payments transactions, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

Changes in user engagement patterns from web to mobile and international diversification also affect our revenue and financial performance. We believe that overall engagement as measured by the percentage of users who create content (such as status posts, messages, or photos) or generate feedback increases as our user base grows. We continue to create new and improved features to drive social sharing and increase monetization. The launch of additional languages to the platform facilitates international user growth.

We believe our revenue trends are also affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of the advertisements we display and traditional seasonality. Social Theater is a revenue product for the MeetMe platform and on third-party sites. Social Theater growth may be affected by large brand penetration, the ability to grow the advertiser base, and advertiser spending budgets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2016. We believe there have been no new critical accounting policies or material changes to our existing critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new standard requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The update requires the guidance to be applied retrospectively. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 that is used in the following discussions of our results of operations:

Comparison of the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015

Revenues

Our revenues were approximately $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $1.7 million or 15% compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in revenue is attributable to a $3.5 million increase in mobile revenue, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in web advertising and cross platform revenue. We believe the increase in mobile revenue is due to increased advertising rates on mobile devices. We believe the decrease in web advertising revenue is attributable to the decline in web DAUs.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $1.1 million, or 91%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.2 million for the same period in 2015. Increased sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to an increase in advertising and marketing spend.

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses decreased approximately $612,000, or 10%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $6.3 million for the same period in 2015. The net decrease in product development and content expense is primarily attributable to a net decrease of $551,000 in technical operations expenses as a result of the consolidation of servers in our data center.

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses increased $728,000 or 45%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2015. The aggregate increase in general and administrative costs is attributable to an increase of $300,000 in professional fees, $150,000 in travel and entertainment expenses, and stock compensation expense of $136,000.

Comparison of Stock-Based Compensation and Other Costs and Expenses

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense, included in the operating expense by category, increased approximately $113,000 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Stock-based compensation expense represented 7% and 6% of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $3.8 million and $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and unvested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two years.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $751,000 and $816,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	6,884,392		$	(946,027	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(110,280	)		(409,780	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		322,726			(771,980	)
	$	7,096,838		$	(2,127,787	)

Net cash provided by operations was approximately $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net cash used in operations of approximately $946,000 for the same period in 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operations consisted primarily of net income of approximately $2.4 million adjusted for certain non-cash expenses of approximately $751,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, $728,000 related to stock based compensation for the vesting of stock options, $16,000 related to gain on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and $242,000 for change in warrant liability. Additionally, changes in working capital increased the net cash used in operations. These changes included decreases in accounts receivable of approximately $5.9 million resulting from collections, $56,000 in prepaid expenses, and other current assets and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.7 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 of approximately $110,000, was due to capital expenditures of $110,000 for computer equipment to increase capacity and improve performance.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 of approximately $322,000 was due to approximately $434,000 of proceeds from exercise of stock options, partially offset by $112,000 of capital lease payments.

Our cash balances are kept liquid to support our growing infrastructure needs for operational expansion. The majority of our cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $33.1 million.

On April 29, 2013, the Company (i) entered into a loan and security agreement with a leading provider of debt financing to technology companies (the “Loan Agreement”) and (ii) issued two warrant agreements (“Warrants”), for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock to the lenders under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement has an aggregate commitment of $8.0 million. The Company borrowed $5.0 million under the Loan Agreement on April 29, 2013. Had it achieved certain financial goals, the Company could have borrowed two additional tranches of loans, each in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5 million. All loans under the Loan Agreement have a term of 36 months and may not be re-borrowed after repayment. The lender under the Loan Agreement has a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. The purchase price for the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is equal to, at each Warrant holder’s option, the lower of (x) $1.96 and (y) the price per share of the stock issued in the next equity placement of the Company’s stock, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Warrants. The Warrants may be exercised until February 28, 2024. As of March 31, 2016 and May 6, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding indebtedness under the Loan Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company did not enter into any additional capital leases.

The Company believes that, with its current available cash, anticipated revenues and collections on its accounts receivables, and its access to capital through various financing options, it will have sufficient funds to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

We have budgeted capital expenditures of $2.9 million for the remainder of 2016, which we believe will support our growth of domestic and international business through increased capacity, performance improvement, and expanded content.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2016, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Non-GAAP – Financial Measure

The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measure in planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison. Our management uses and relies on the following non-GAAP financial measure:

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, warrant obligations, nonrecurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses, loss on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, gain on sale of asset, bad debt expense outside the normal range, and goodwill impairment charges, if any. We exclude stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors, and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of acquisition related costs, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items.

We have included a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss), a GAAP financial measure:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
ADJUSTED EBITDA	2016			2015
Net Income Allocable to Common Stockholders	$	2,354,898		$	722,054
Interest expense		6,745			158,866
Change in warrant liability		(241,777	)		95,728
Income taxes		94,317			55,200
Depreciation and amortization		751,264			815,915
Stock-based compensation expense		727,780			615,265
Loss on cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustment		(16,352	)		794,704

Adjusted EBITDA	$	3,676,875		$	3,094,399

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There were no material changes in market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, noted during the evaluation of controls as of the end of the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. There are currently no such pending proceedings to which we are a party that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods. See Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report for information on specific matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except for the Risk Factor below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2016, in evaluating our business, financial position, future results and prospects. The risks described in these filings are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial position, future results or prospects.
