+Added: Any of the risks we describe below could cause our business, financial condition, results of
+Added: operations or future prospects to be materially adversely affected.
+Added: In addition, some of the following statements are forward-looking
+Added: RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OUR INDUSTRY
+Added: ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may in the future have, a significant adverse impact on our advertising revenue and also exposes
our business to other risks.
−Removed: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted
−Removed: in authorities implementing numerous preventative measures to contain or mitigate the outbreak of the virus, such as travel bans
−Removed: and restrictions, limitations on business activity, quarantines, and shelter-in-place orders.
−Removed: These measures have caused, and are
−Removed: continuing to cause, business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas, both regionally and worldwide, which have significantly
−Removed: impacted our business and results of operations.
−Removed: For example, for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020, our revenue declined by $14,141, or 45%, versus the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a four-year average
−Removed: revenue growth rate of 29.1% from 2015 to 2019, and represented the first revenue reduction for the Company since its merger with
−Removed: ConeXus World Global, LLC in October 2015.
−Removed: This reduction was driven by a combination of factors, including, but not limited to,
−Removed: a decrease in revenues generated from (1) installation services of $4,962 following a significant increase in suspended, delayed,
−Removed: and cancelled customer projects, initiatives, and capital expenditures as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) management
−Removed: services of $1,186 related to contracts with customers which were partially or permanently closed during the year, and (3) reductions
−Removed: in new customer acquisition, each of which were directly attributable, either in whole or in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: While we have seen improved revenue generation
−Removed: and customer activity in the second half of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, there can be no assurance that it will not decrease
−Removed: again as a result of the effects of the pandemic.
−Removed: In addition, we believe that the pandemic has contributed to an acceleration
−Removed: in the shift of commerce from offline to online, potentially altering customer demand for our products and services as our customers
−Removed: evaluate the most effective approach to capture consumer demand.
−Removed: The demand for and pricing of our services
−Removed: may be materially and adversely impacted by the pandemic for the foreseeable future, and we are unable to predict the duration
−Removed: or degree of such impact with any certainty.
−Removed: In addition to the impact on our installation and managed services business, the pandemic
−Removed: exposes our business, operations, and workforce to a variety of other risks, including:
−Removed: ● delays in product development or releases,
−Removed: or reductions in manufacturing production and sales of hardware, as a result of inventory shortages, supply chain or labor shortages,
−Removed: or diversion of our efforts and resources to projects related to COVID-19;
−Removed: ● our inability to recognize revenue, collect
−Removed: payment, or generate future revenue from customers, including from those that have been or may be forced to close their businesses
−Removed: or are otherwise impacted by the economic downturn;
−Removed: ● significant volatility and disruption
−Removed: of global financial markets, which could negatively impact our ability to access capital in the future;
−Removed: ● negative impact on our workforce productivity,
−Removed: product development, and research and development due to difficulties resulting from our personnel working remotely;
−Removed: ● illnesses to key employees, or a significant
−Removed: portion of our workforce, which may result in inefficiencies, delays, and disruptions in our business;
−Removed: ● increased volatility and uncertainty in
−Removed: the financial projections we use as the basis for estimates used in our financial statements.
−Removed: Any of these developments may adversely
−Removed: affect our business, harm our reputation, or result in legal or regulatory actions against us.
−Removed: The persistence of COVID-19, and
−Removed: the preventative measures implemented to help limit the spread of the illness, have impacted, and will continue to impact, our
−Removed: ability to operate our business and may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: The launch of our new Safe Space Solutions products may
−Removed: not be successful.
−Removed: On April 28, 2020, we announced the joint
−Removed: launch of an AI-integrated non-contact temperature inspection kiosk known as the Thermal Mirror with our partner, InReality, for
−Removed: use by businesses as COVID-19 related workplace restrictions are reduced or eliminated.
−Removed: Although we have experience in providing
−Removed: customers digital integration solutions, our launch of the Thermal Mirror involves the development, marketing and sale of a new
−Removed: product to new customers involving a joint effort with InReality.
−Removed: The product also uses hardware and technologies that have not
−Removed: been used with our other customers.
−Removed: To date, the Company and InReality continued to develop incremental use cases and subsequently
−Removed: launched a suite of Safe Space Solutions products addressing this market, each of which operate consistently with our primary business
−Removed: model in that they represent a sale of hardware and a SaaS-based subscription license services contract.
−Removed: While we believe this product and our launch
−Removed: will be successful, there are a number of risks involved in such a launch.
−Removed: First, we are investing significant time and resources
−Removed: that take away the attention of management that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our existing business or
−Removed: to respond to new opportunities.
−Removed: We also have limited cash and we are spending significant costs in the launch, which may ultimately
−Removed: not be successful.
−Removed: This cash could have been used to support our other proven business lines.
−Removed: We face significant competition from
−Removed: other COVID-19 related workplace safety solutions, and our competitors have more capital resources than we do.
−Removed: The failure to successfully
−Removed: manage these risks in the development and marketing of Safe Space Solutions could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s
−Removed: business, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: We have generally incurred losses, and may never become
−Removed: or remain profitable.
−Removed: Except for the second, third and fourth
−Removed: quarters of 2019, we have incurred historical net losses.
−Removed: As of and for the year-ended December 31, 2020, we had a working capital
−Removed: deficit and negative cash flows from operations.
−Removed: We incurred a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31,
−Removed: While we have been able to achieve profitability in certain recent periods, it is uncertain whether we will be able to sustain
−Removed: or increase our profitability in successive periods.
−Removed: We have formulated our business plans and
−Removed: strategies based on certain assumptions regarding the acceptance of our business model and the marketing of our products and services.
−Removed: Nevertheless, our assessments regarding market size, market share, market acceptance of our products and services and a variety
−Removed: of other factors may prove incorrect.
−Removed: Our future success will depend upon many factors, including factors beyond our control and
−Removed: those that cannot be predicted at this time.
−Removed: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also caused a significant increase in suspended,
−Removed: delayed, and cancelled customer projects, initiatives, and capital expenditures, and it is not known when these opportunities will
−Removed: be revived for the Company, if at all.
−Removed: Our digital marketing business is
−Removed: evolving in a rapidly changing market, and we cannot ensure the long-term successful operation of our business or the execution
−Removed: of our business plan.
−Removed: Our digital marketing technology and solutions
−Removed: are an evolving business offering and the markets in which we compete are rapidly changing and the evolution has slowed as a result
−Removed: of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: As a result, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
−Removed: encountered by growing companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.
−Removed: We may be unable to accomplish any of the following, which
−Removed: would materially impact our ability to implement our business plan:
−Removed: establishing and maintaining broad market acceptance of our technology, solutions, services, and platforms, and converting that acceptance into direct and indirect sources of revenue;
−Removed: establishing and maintaining adoption of our technology, solutions, services, and platforms in and on a variety of environments, experiences, and device types;
−Removed: timely and successfully developing new technology, solution, service, and platform features, and increasing the functionality and features of our existing technology, solution, service, and platform offerings;
−Removed: developing technology, solutions, services, and platforms that result in a high degree of customer satisfaction and a high level of end-customer usage;
−Removed: successfully responding to competition, including competition from emerging technologies and solutions;
−Removed: developing and maintaining strategic relationships to enhance the distribution, features, content and utility of our technology, solutions, services, and platforms;
−Removed: identifying, attracting and retaining talented engineering, network operations, program management, technical services, creative services, and other personnel at reasonable market compensation rates in the markets in which we employ such personnel;
−Removed: integration of acquisitions.
−Removed: Our business strategy may be unsuccessful
−Removed: and we may be unable to address the risks we face in a cost-effective manner, if at all.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully accomplish
−Removed: these tasks, our business will be harmed.
−Removed: Adequate funds for our operations may not be available,
−Removed: requiring us to raise additional financing or else curtail our activities significantly.
−Removed: On February 18, 2021, the Company entered
−Removed: into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor which provided for the issuance and sale by the Company of
−Removed: 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”)
−Removed: at a purchase price of $2.50 per Share, for gross proceeds of $2,000.
−Removed: The net proceeds from the Offering after paying estimated
−Removed: offering expenses were approximately $1,835 which the Company intends to use for general corporate purposes.
−Removed: The closing of the
−Removed: Offering occurred on February 22, 2021.
−Removed: We may nonetheless be required to raise
−Removed: additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, through 2021.
−Removed: We have an “at-the-market”
−Removed: offering in place, pursuant to which we may direct Roth Capital Partners, our sale agent, to sell shares of our common stock to
−Removed: investors in the market, subject to the terms and conditions of a sales agreement.

+Added: funds for our operations may not be available, requiring us to raise additional financing or else curtail our activities significantly.
+Added: During February of 2022, the Company completed a Debt Financing and

+Added: agent and other offering fees, of approximately $20,000.
+Added: The net proceeds from the forgoing financings were

These sales are dilutive to shareholders.
−Removed: additional equity financings may also be dilutive to shareholders and may be completed at a discount to the then-current market

−Removed: Nevertheless, we may not successfully complete any future equity or debt financing.
−Removed: Adequate funds for
−Removed: our operations, whether from financial markets, collaborative or other arrangements, may not be available when needed or on terms

−Removed: If adequate funds are not available, our plans to operate our business may be adversely affected and we could
−Removed: be required to curtail our activities significantly and/or cease operating.
−Removed: We do not have sufficient capital to engage in material
−Removed: research and development, which may harm our long-term growth.
−Removed: In light of our limited resources in general,

−Removed: This conserves capital in the short
−Removed: In the long term, as a result of our failure to invest in research and development, our technology and product offerings

We have experienced such challenges in the past and may experience such challenges in the future.
−Removed: Our continued growth and financial
−Removed: performance could be adversely affected by the loss of several key customers, including a significant related party customer.
−Removed: Our largest customers account for a significant

−Removed: We had two (2) and one (1) customer(s) that accounted for 27.8% and 18.5%
−Removed: of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: For the years ended December 31, 2020 and

−Removed: Decisions by one or more of these key customers
−Removed: to not renew, terminate or substantially reduce their use of our products, technology, services, and platform could substantially
−Removed: slow our revenue growth and lead to a decline in revenue.
−Removed: Our business plan assumes continued growth in revenue, and it is unlikely

−Removed: Most of our contracts are terminable by our customers
−Removed: with limited notice and without penalty payments, and early terminations could have a material adverse effect on our business,
−Removed: operating results and financial condition.

−Removed: Risks Related to Our Securities and Our Company
−Removed: The variable sales cycle of some
−Removed: of the combined company’s products will likely make it difficult to predict operating results.
−Removed: Our revenues in any quarter depend substantially
−Removed: upon contracts signed and the related shipment and installation or delivery of hardware and software products in that quarter.
−Removed: It is therefore difficult for us to accurately predict revenues and this difficulty also will affect the Company.
−Removed: It is difficult
−Removed: to forecast the timing of large individual hardware and software sales with a high degree of certainty due to the extended length
−Removed: of the sales cycle and the generally more complex contractual terms that may be associated with our products that could result
−Removed: in the deferral of some or all of the revenue to future periods.
−Removed: Accordingly, large individual sales have
−Removed: sometimes occurred in quarters subsequent to when we anticipated or not at all.
−Removed: If we receive any significant cancellation or deferral
−Removed: of customer orders, or it is unable to conclude license negotiations by the end of a fiscal quarter, our operating results may
−Removed: be lower than anticipated.

+Added: we are unable to compete effectively in our various markets, or if competitive pressures place downward pressure on the prices at which
+Added: we offer our products and services, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
+Added: Safe Space Solutions products may no longer be marketable.
+Added: April 28, 2020, we announced the joint launch of an AI-integrated non-contact temperature inspection kiosk known as the Thermal Mirror
+Added: with our partner, InReality, for use by businesses as COVID-19 related workplace restrictions are reduced or eliminated.
+Added: While the product
+Added: and its launch were successful and recouped our initial investment, we still maintain $1,750 of inventory as of December 31, 2021 that
+Added: is solely used in deploying our Safe Space Solutions which may not be saleable elsewhere should the market for these products reduce
+Added: or eliminate as a result of the development of the COVID-19 vaccine.

+Added: As we integrate and combine Reflect’s
+Added: with our business, the loss of key personnel at Reflect could have a material adverse effect on our ability to execute our business strategy
+Added: and on our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Reflect does not maintain key-person insurance for members of its senior management
+Added: team and we do not anticipate obtaining any such insurance.
+Added: may be unable to successfully integrate Reflect with our business, which could cause our business to suffer.
+Added: acquisition of Reflect is significant, and we may be unable to successfully integrate and combine the operations, personnel and technology
+Added: of Reflect with our operations.
+Added: If we fail to successfully manage the integration of Reflect, we may experience interruptions in our
+Added: business activities, a deterioration in our employee and customer relationships, increased costs of integration and harm to our reputation,
+Added: all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: The types of integration
+Added: issues we face may include difficulties in combining corporate cultures, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees.
+Added: integration process is likely to impose substantial demands on our management.
+Added: Other challenges involved in integrating Reflect with
+Added: Creative Realities include, but are not limited to, the following:
+Added: existing customers and strategic partners for each company;
+Added: and integrating management and other key employees of the combined company;
+Added: research and development activities to enhance introduction of new products and technologies, especially in light of rapidly evolving
+Added: markets for those products and technologies;
+Added: managing the diversion of management’s attention from business matters to integration issues;

+Added: is no assurance that improved operating results will be achieved as a result of the Reflect acquisition or that we successfully integrate
+Added: the businesses of Reflect in a timely manner, if at all.
+Added: may not realize the growth opportunities that are anticipated from our acquisition of Reflect.
+Added: benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the Reflect acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize anticipated growth
+Added: opportunities.
+Added: Our success in realizing these growth opportunities, and the timing of this realization, depends largely on the successful
+Added: integration of Reflect’s business and operations with our business and operations.
+Added: Even if we are able to integrate our business
+Added: with Reflect’s business successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the growth opportunities
+Added: we currently expect from this integration within the anticipated time frame or at all.
+Added: While we anticipate that certain expenses will
+Added: be incurred, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately, and may exceed current estimates.
+Added: Accordingly, the benefits from the
+Added: acquisition may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the companies, which could cause our revenue assumptions to be inaccurate.
+Added: acquisition of Reflect may fail to achieve beneficial synergies.
+Added: consummated the acquisition of Reflect with the expectation that the acquisition will result in beneficial synergies, such as cost reductions
+Added: and improving the stability of the combined company’s revenues.
+Added: Achieving these anticipated synergies and benefits will depend
+Added: largely on our success in integrating our existing business with Reflect’s business.
+Added: Potential risks from an unsuccessful integration
+Added: potential disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of management;
+Added: risk that the customers of Creative Realities or Reflect may defer purchasing decisions due to disagreements with the combined company
+Added: on its strategic direction and product initiatives;
+Added: risk that Reflect’s customers abandon or reject products offered by the combined company after the acquisition, including Reflect
+Added: products that are integrated into Creative Realities’ business, such as additional software products, hosting applications
+Added: or installation services;
+Added: risk that it may be more difficult to retain key management, marketing, and technical personnel after the acquisition;
+Added: risk that costs and expenditures for retaining personnel, eliminating unnecessary resources and integrating the businesses are greater
+Added: than anticipated;
+Added: risk that the combined company cannot increase sales of its product;
+Added: risk that integrating and changing the businesses will impair Creative Realities’ and Reflect’s relationships with their
+Added: customers and business partners.
+Added: offering products and services of Creative Realities and Reflect to each other’s customers;

+Added: together the companies’ marketing efforts so that the industry receives useful information about the acquisition and customers
+Added: perceive value in the combined company’s products and services;
+Added: and maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies.
+Added: if the two companies are able to effectively integrate operations, there can be no assurance that the anticipated synergies will be achieved.
+Added: The failure to achieve such synergies could adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of the combined
+Added: The assumption of unknown liabilities in
+Added: the acquisition of Reflect may harm our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: we acquired all of the capital stock of Reflect, we obtained ownership of Reflect subject to all of its liabilities, including contingent
+Added: and unknown liabilities.
+Added: Although the definitive merger agreement includes representations and warranties and indemnity covenants from
+Added: the sellers of Reflect capital stock that may offer us some contractual remedies for breaches or certain other undisclosed or unknown
+Added: liabilities, there are limitations and conditions to our ability to recoup any liabilities, and there may be other unknown obligations
+Added: for which we have no contractual remedy.
+Added: In such a case, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: We may learn additional
+Added: information about Reflect’s business that adversely affects us, such as the existence of unknown liabilities, or issues that could
+Added: affect our ability to comply with applicable laws.
+Added: If Reflect’s liabilities are greater than expected, or if there are material
+Added: obligations of which we do not become aware until after the acquisition or we have no recourse against the Seller, our business could
+Added: be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: If we become responsible for substantial uninsured liabilities, such liabilities may have a material
+Added: adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction and integration costs in connection with the acquisition of Reflect.
+Added: have incurred significant costs associated with completing the acquisition of Reflect, and expect to incur additional significant costs
+Added: integrating the operations of the two companies.
+Added: The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses and will consist
+Added: of transaction costs (e.g., legal, accounting), facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs.
+Added: Additional unanticipated
+Added: costs may be incurred in the integration of our businesses.
+Added: Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as
+Added: the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and acquisition
+Added: costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.
