Our Company

 

SPYR®, Inc. acts as a holding company to develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business. On March 24, 2015, the Company organized its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS®, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, to engage in the development and publication of electronic games that are downloaded for free by users of mobile devices such as cellular telephones and tablets, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems.

 

Our Business and Strategy

 

Our current strategy is to publish and market games developed by third-party developers with the potential to develop our own games, either by contracting with third-party developers or by building or acquiring an in-house development team and to acquire revenue-producing games or companies. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not built or acquired an in-house development team, but are currently in the process of negotiating multiple acquisitions in the mobile games space that would include a development team. We intend to generate revenues from the games based upon users paying for additional features and levels of game play, and from the sale of advertising in our games. Our games use the “free to play” model, which allows users to download the games onto their devices and play them at no cost. “Free to play” is a business model that has existed in videogames (and other industries) for quite some time but one that has, in the last 2-3 years, been adopted by a large number of game developers and publishers both big and small. The “free to play” model allows us to offer games that have zero cost barriers preventing players from trying our games. Players that choose to not continue with the game nonetheless still become marketing channels to their friends, who may become a critical mass of players who do choose to pay for optional aspects of the games, including customization, faster game progress, additional content and more effective competition against other players. There are no limitations on potential purchases, thus catering to the financial capabilities/preferences of all players. We monetize the games by offering features and opportunities within the games that allow players to spend money to unlock new game levels, items and features.

 

Our Games

 

Contracting with a third-party developer, we released three games: “Plucky,” “Plucky Rush” and Rune Guardian in April, May and December 2015, respectively. They are available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

 

6 
 

We entered into our first publication and marketing agreement on October 21, 2015 with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of “Retro Shot.” “Retro Shot” was fully launched in February of 2016 and is available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

 

We entered into our second publishing and marketing agreement on December 17, 2015 with Spectacle Games Publishing (“Spectacle Games”), for its “Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game,” “Pocket Starships,” which is available in the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store and the Amazon App Store for free download, and can also be played in a web browser, via hundreds of web portals around the world or on Facebook’s “Game Room” and VK.com.

 

Pocket Starships is a space warfare themed game that is available to be played regardless of what operating system the player uses, whether that is an Apple iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, a Google Android device, including phones and tablets from a variety of hardware manufacturers using the Android operating system, or an Amazon Fire OS device such as a Kindle. Pocket Starships is also available to play on the Internet in any web browser at www.pocketstarships.com. Pocket Starships’ software engine allows players worldwide to play against each other in real time and in the same game “universe,” regardless of what platform is used. Thus, players can play Pocket Starships in the same game universe regardless of whether they are playing in a web browser at their desk or using an iPhone on the other side of the planet.. Pocket Starships’ game play is hardware and software agnostic, so regardless of device all users have the same game experience.

 

In June 2016, we obtained an exclusive option to purchase all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships (the “Option”) in consideration for 3,750,000 cash-based options, exercisable as follows: (a) 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2017; (b) 750,000 shares at $2.50 per share, expiring on December 31, 2018; and (c) 2,500,000 shares at $5.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2019. Under the Option, had the Company decided to exercise the Option, it would have purchased the assets for a cash payment of $5,000,000 plus $10,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time of closing of the purchase. The exclusive Option was exercisable by us at any time, in our sole discretion, through December 31, 2020.

 

On October 23, 2017, we restructured and exercised the Option by entering into a definitive agreement pursuant to which SPYR® acquired all of the game related assets of Pocket Starships in a cashless transaction, including the publishing agreement with Spectacle. The original terms of the Option were terminated. As a result, SPYR® acquired rights to retain 100% of the revenue generated from the game and will be the sole owner of all of the assets related to the game. The acquisition included, among other assets, all Pocket Starships related intellectual property, the userbase, artwork, software, internet domains, game store accounts (such as App Store, Play Store, Amazon, and Facebook Gameroom), web portal accounts (Facebook, VK.com, Kongregate, etc.) and internet domains (www.pocketstarships.com). Under the terms of the agreement, the game's owner received 8,000,000 restricted shares of SPYR® stock (subject to resale gating provisions) and 8,000,000 three-year cash-based options exercisable at $0.50 per share.

 

During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the 4th quarter 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, through a trading card expansion.

 

During July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Reset Studios, LLC for the development of at least two new idle tapper games to be published by SPYR®, the first of which, Steven Universe: Tap Together, features characters and storylines from Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe. The Company has secured the necessary license to use the Steven Universe IP in the game through a license agreement with Cartoon Network. The game allows players to play as a team of their favorite Steven Universe characters to battle increasingly difficult enemies in order to unlock new characters and rewards. By performing simple actions such as tapping the screen, players can progress in the game even when they’re not actively playing. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company intends to utilize cash on hand, shareholder loans and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities to conduct its ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and software development costs and implementation of our business plans generally. The Company may also decide to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future.

 

No assurances can be given we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Historically, we have relied upon the sales of our common stock, financing, and proceeds from the sales of marketable securities held for sale to generate funds to finance our activities. We currently have limited cash on hand to conduct the ongoing development of our digital advertising and publishing efforts, including mobile application and game development, and for exploring opportunities and new acquisitions. Our digital development and publishing efforts are in their developmental stages and are insufficient as of the date of this prospectus to generate sufficient revenues to finance our future operations. The existence of available financing or opportunities for sales of our common stock on acceptable terms is uncertain. We cannot assure you that sufficient financing, whether from external sources or related parties, will be available if needed, or on favorable terms. Further, the sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause significant dilution to our existing shareholders. The value of our marketable securities held for sale fluctuates from day to day instantaneously. You should not rely upon the prospective value of any of our marketable securities held for sale as a basis for an investment decision in our Company, since any value assigned to them is subject to material changes based on the inter-day trading values of those securities and are an unreliable basis for evaluating our revenue and funding for our future operations.

 

We have a history of operating losses and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We may never generate significant revenues or achieve profitability.

 

We have historically lost money. The operating loss for the fiscal year December 31, 2017 was $(10,244,000), and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $(4,993,000), and future losses are likely to occur. We are continuing to implement a new business model focused on our Electronic Games Publishing and Development business. We have generated limited revenues to date from this segment. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our revenues from our Electronic Games operations was $128,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, our revenues from our Electronic Games operations was $27,000. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have published seven mobile games, but we have not yet realized significant revenue from those games. There is no guarantee that revenue from our games segment will continue or develop and grow in amounts sufficient to fund operations.

 

We have a new and evolving business model.

 

Our Company and its prospects should be examined in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by new and development stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. These risks include, among other things, the speed at which we can develop, publish and market our games; the growth of our games business, including our recently published games for mobile devices, each having limited market acceptance, and our ability to and to derive significant game play and advertising revenues from these ventures.

 

In early 2015, we changed our business model to focus on becoming a developer and publisher of “free-to-play” games for smartphones, tablets and other next-generation platforms. Free-to-play games are games that a player can download and play for free, but which allow players to access a variety of additional content and features for a fee, and to engage with various advertisements and offers that generate revenues for us. We launched our first free-to-play games – Plucky and Plucky Rush -- in the first and second fiscal quarters of 2015, and in 2016 launched Retro Shot, Rune Guardian, and Pocket Starships. We launched Home Makeover on May 30, 2017 and we launched Steven Universe: Tap Together on August 2, 2018. Although we recently retained persons with industry experience we believe will significantly advance our business, our operating history under this business model is relatively short. Regardless, our efforts to develop successful free-to-play games may prove unsuccessful or, even if successful, may take more time than we anticipate to achieve significant revenues because, among other reasons:

 

•       Many well-funded public and private companies have released, or plan to release, free-to-play games, and this competition may make it more difficult for us to differentiate our games and derive significant revenues from them;

 

•       Free-to-play games, including those delivered as a service, have a relatively limited history, and it is unclear how popular this style of game will become or remain or its revenue potential;

 

•       Our free-to-play strategy assumes that a large number of players will download our games because they are free and that we will then be able to effectively monetize the games; however, players may not widely download our games for a variety of reasons, including poor consumer reviews or other negative publicity, ineffective or insufficient marketing efforts, lack of sufficient features;

9 
 

 

•       Even if our games are widely downloaded, we may fail to retain users or optimize the monetization of these games for a variety of reasons, including poor game design or quality, lack of community features, gameplay issues such as game unavailability, long load times or an unexpected termination of the game due to technical issues, or our failure to effectively respond and adapt to changing user preferences through game updates; and,

 

•       We may have difficulty hiring the additional monetization, operations, technology, user experience and product management personnel that we require to support our continued the expansion of our digital publishing and advertising company.

 

We have a history of losses, our accountants expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and we require additional capital to execute our business plan.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not yet achieved profitable operations. We have accumulated losses, a working capital deficiency and we expect to incur further losses in the implementation of our current business plan, all of which, according to our accountants, casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds through the receipt of conventional sources of capital or through future sales of our Shares, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may further dilute our book value, and that dilution may be material.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

If we are unable to successfully develop and market our games or features, or our games do not perform as expected, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.

 

With the release of any new game or any new features to an existing game, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product or feature introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development and implementation, and failure of new games or features to perform as expected. In order to introduce and market new or enhanced games or features successfully with minimal disruption in customer purchasing patterns and user experiences, we must manage the transition from existing games in the market. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop and market, on a timely basis, games, game enhancements or features that respond to technological advances by others, that our new games will adequately address the changing needs of the market or that we will successfully manage transitions. Further, failure to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing activities to develop or obtain improved games and technologies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We distribute our games primarily on Apple's iOS and Google's Android platforms, and if the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store were unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.

 

We distribute our games primarily on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms. We are subject to each of Apple’s and Google’s standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on their respective storefronts. Each of Apple and Google has broad discretion to change its standard terms and conditions. In addition, these standard terms and conditions can be vague and subject to changing interpretations by Apple or Google. Any change to these standard terms and conditions, or in Apple's or Google's interpretation of these standard terms and conditions, could materially harm our games business, and we may not receive any advance warning of such change. In addition, each of Apple and Google have the right to prohibit a developer from distributing its applications on its storefront if the developer violates its standard terms and conditions. In the event that either Apple or Google ever determines that we are in violation of its standard terms and conditions, including by a new interpretation, and prohibits us from distributing our games on its storefront, it would materially harm our business and could cause our stock price to significantly decline. We also rely on the continued function of the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, as we distribute our games through these two digital storefronts. There have been occasions in the past when these digital storefronts were unavailable for short periods of time. In the event that either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.

 

If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our ability to grow our business may be harmed.

 

Over time we will need to hire additional qualified personnel with expertise in such areas as digital production, software development, artists, financial matters and sales and marketing. We compete for qualified individuals with numerous other

digital media and software development companies. Competition for such individuals is intense, and we cannot be certain that our search for such personnel will be successful. Attracting and retaining qualified personnel will be critical to our success.

10 
 

We rely on key members of management, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our success and development.

 

Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of certain other key executives and technical personnel. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and ability to meet our business objectives in the digital game development and publishing spaces. Additionally, our success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and our directors. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace key executives in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our being unable to satisfactorily execute our business. The loss of one or more of our executive officers and directors could slow the growth of our business, or it may cease to operate at all, which may result in the total loss of an investor’s investment.

 

Compensation may be paid to our executive officers, directors and employees regardless of our profitability, which may limit our ability to finance our business and adversely affect our business.

 

Our executive officers are receiving compensation, and other current and future employees of our company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements regardless of whether we operate at a profit or a loss. Such obligations may negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to finance our digital publishing and advertising initiatives, which could cause our business to fail.

 

Because of pressures from competitors with more resources, we may fail to implement our business strategy profitably.

 

The digital games, publishing and advertising business is highly fragmented, extremely competitive, and subject to rapid change. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith are numerous and significant. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new games, and enhancements to our existing games developed and published by us. We are a new and development stage digital game development and publishing company that distributes digital games for mobile media technology. Larger and more established companies, with significantly greater resources, are active in our market with similar technologies, and may be in better competitive positions than we are.

 

We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies.

 

We face a large and growing number of competitors in the digital publishing and game entertainment industries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and more established relationships in these industries than we do. As a result, certain of these competitors may be in better positions to compete with us for customers and audiences. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.

 

If we do not continue to develop and offer compelling content and games and attract new consumers or maintain the engagement of our existing users, our advertising revenues could be adversely affected.

 

In order to attract consumers and maintain or increase engagement with our games, we believe we must offer compelling content. Acquiring, developing and offering new content, as well as new functionality, features and enhanced performance of our existing content and games, may require significant investment and time to develop. In addition, consumer tastes are difficult to predict and subject to rapid change. If we are unable to develop sufficient games that are attractive and relevant to our users, we may not be able to maintain or increase our existing users’ engagement on or attract new consumers to our games and as a result our search rankings, traffic and usage metrics, and advertising revenues may be adversely affected.

 

If our Games do not achieve market acceptance, we may not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or further development.

 

While we believe that a viable market exists for our games, there is no assurance that our games will prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional or competitive games in the markets that we have identified. If a viable market for our games cannot be created for our business or our games do not achieve market acceptance, we may need to commit greater resources than are currently available to develop commercially viable and competitive games. There can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources to fund such development or that such development would be successful. In addition, if our games do not generate sufficient revenues, or we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be unable to fund our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that, when required, sufficient funds will be available to us on satisfactory terms.

11 
 

 

Our business will suffer if the Internet or network systems fail or become unavailable.

 

A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of Internet infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our games to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and content providers. Systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of games, or an increase in response time, could result in a loss of potential customers or content providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, our games could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.

 

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation, which could be expensive, divert management's attention, and harm our business.

 

Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We seek protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our games that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party games that compete with our games and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our games, processes, patents or licenses, or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

 

In addition, we may use open source software in our games and will continue to use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to claims brought against companies that incorporate open source software into their games or services, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to changing our games or services, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

 

There has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or, if developed, be maintained. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

 

There is no Assurance of Continued Public Trading Market, and Being a Low-Priced Security May Affect the Market Value of Our Stock

 

12 
 

To date, there has been only a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our stock. Our stock is subject to the low-priced security or so called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to recent regulations adopted by the SEC, any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions that we no longer meet). For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Included in this document are the following:

 

-the bid and offer price quotes in and for the "penny stock," and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply,
 -the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, and,
 -the compensation received by the brokerage firm's sales person for the trade.

 

In addition, the brokerage firm must send the investor:

 

-a monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each "penny stock" in the investor's account, and,
 -a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals.

 

If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.

 

Resale restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" are sometimes imposed by some states, which may make transaction in our stock more difficult and may reduce the value of the investment. Various state securities laws pose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" and as a result, investors in our common stock may have the ability to sell their shares of our common stock impaired.

 

There can be no assurance we will have market makers in our stock.

 

If the number of market makers in our stock should decline, the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for the common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in persons being unable to buy or sell shares of the common stock on any secondary market.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we may incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends.

 

Nevada Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable

 

13 
 

Provisions of Nevada law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

 

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as “may,” “assumes,” “forecasts,” “positions,” “predicts,” “strategy,” “will,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “budgets,” “potential,” “continue” and variations thereof, and other statements contained in this prospectus, regarding matters that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as certain assumptions, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to those risks identified under “Risk Factors” and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. The information in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement speaks only as of the date of that document and the information incorporated herein by reference speaks only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our games and our future economic performance. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development and commercialization of our technologies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. Any proceeds from the exercise of warrants will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including but not limited to funding for additional game development, game marketing and user acquisition costs, hiring additional personnel, and the costs of operating as a public company. We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the selling stockholders will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses and expenses related to the sale of their shares.

 

 

DILUTION

 

The discretionary sale of up to 11,788,000 shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders in accordance with the respective warrant agreements, stock purchase agreements, convertible notes and consulting agreements will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net loss per share could increase in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. If our stock price decreases during the pricing period, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

16 
 

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Capital Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and 10,000,000 preferred shares, $0.0001 par value.

 

Common Stock

 

As of August 31, 2018, 198,145,066 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

 

The holders of our Common Stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our Common Stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our Common Stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

 

All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the applicable statutes of the state of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities. All material terms of our Common Stock have been addressed in this section.

 

Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of August 31, 2018, we have two series of preferred stock issued and outstanding:

 

·107,636 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible to 26,909,028 common shares), par value $0.0001. In our discretion, we will determine when and if dividends will be paid on the Class “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, and whether it will be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. All Class “A” Preferred Stockholders shall be treated the same with respect to the payment of dividends. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Class “A” Preferred Stock by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock, the shares of common stock issued as dividends will be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Class “A” Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable as may be determined by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Class “A” Convertible Preferred Stock will have priority as to dividends over the Common Stock. The holders of the Class “A” Preferred Stock shall vote for the election of directors, and shall have full voting rights, except that each Class “A” Preferred share shall entitle the holder to exercise ten thousand (10,000) votes for each one (1) Class “A” Preferred Share held. The Class “A” Convertible Preferred Shares are not redeemable; and,

 

·20,000 shares of Series “E” Convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001. The Series “E” Convertible preferred stock pays no dividends and is convertible to common stock based upon proceeds received upon issuance of the shares, divided by the average closing bid price for the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the conversion date, and is adjustable to prevent dilution. At August 31, 2018, the 20,000 Class “E” preferred shares were convertible to 500,000 common shares, and convertible at the option of the Company at par value only after repayment of any shareholder loans from Joseph Fiore, our former Chairman of the Board, and subject to the holder’s option to convert. Owners of Series “E” Convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote 1,000 votes per share of Series “E” Convertible Preferred Shares, and are entitled to liquidation preference at par value. Owners of Series “E” Convertible preferred shares are senior to all other shares of preferred or common shares issued past, present and future.

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders of our Common or Preferred Stock. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations. Dividend rights of both our common and preferred shareholders will entitle them to the same dividend that other shareholders of the same class receive.

 

Warrants

 

At its discretion, the Company may periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.

 

The following table summarizes common stock warrants activity:

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO OUR COMPANY

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General Development of the Business

 

We were incorporated under the name Conceptualistics, Inc., on January 6, 1988 in Delaware. We have never filed for bankruptcy or been the subject of a receivership.

 

On December 16, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our domicile to Nevada. On February 26, 2015, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to SPYR®, Inc. Our name change reflected a new direction for our Company. We fundamentally changed our primary business to focus on our electronic games publishing and development business. We are currently operating as a holding company.

 

Internet and Electronic Games Initiatives

 

On March 24, 2015, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR APPS®, LLC (“SPYR APPS®”) to implement our electronic games publishing and development initiatives. SPYR APPS® is engaged in the publishing of electronic games that are downloaded for free by users of mobile devices such as cellular telephones and tablets, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems. Our current strategy is to publish and market games developed by third-party developers with the potential to develop our own games, either by contracting with third-party developers or by building or acquiring an in-house development team, and to generate revenues from them based upon users paying for additional features and levels of game play, and from the sale of advertising in our games. We currently have no in-house development capability. Contracting with a third-party developer, we released three games: “Plucky” and “Plucky Rush” in April and May 2015, and “Rune Guardian” in December 2015. Our developed games use the “free to play” model, which allows users to download the games onto their devices and play them at no cost. “Free to play” is a business model that has existed in videogames (and other industries) for quite some time but one that has, in the last 2-3 years, been adopted by a large number of games developers and publishers both big and small. “Free to play” gives you a way of leveraging the availability of low cost (in the case of games hosted by social networks including Facebook, or otherwise hosted in ‘the cloud’), or even free digital distribution (as is the case of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android markets). The “free to play” model allows us to offer games that have zero cost barriers preventing players from trying our games. Players that choose to not continue with the game nonetheless still becomes a marketing channel to their friends, who may become a critical mass of players who do choose to pay for optional aspects of the games, including customization, faster game progress, additional content and more effective competition against other players. There are no limits on potential purchases, thus catering to the financial capabilities/preferences of all players.

 

We monetize the games by offering features and opportunities within the games that allow players to spend money to unlock new game levels and features. Our games are available for download for use on the Apple and Google mobile operating systems that are common to mobile phones, media players and tablet devices manufactured by companies including Apple, Samsung and others. We also intend to market and generate revenues from advertising space in our games.

 

We entered into our first publication and marketing agreement on October 21, 2015 with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of “Retro Shot.” “Retro Shot” was fully launched in February of 2016 and is available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. On December 17, 2015, we entered into our second publishing and marketing agreement with Spectacle Games Publishing, for its “Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game” “Pocket Starships.” “Pocket Starships” is a space warfare themed game that is free to play, and available for download on hardware wide array of devices including most mobile phones, tablets and computers, and is available to play regardless of what operating system the player uses, whether that is an Apple iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, a Google Android device, including phones and tablets from a variety of hardware manufacturers using the Android operating system, or an Amazon Fire OS device such as a Kindle, on a PC in a web browser or on Facebook’s “Game Room” or on VK.com. “Pocket Starships” is also available to play on the Internet at www.pocketstarships.com. “Pocket Starships’” software engine allows players worldwide to play against each other in real time and in the same game “universe,” regardless of what platform is used. Thus, players can play “Pocket Starships” regardless of whether they are playing in a web browser at their desk, or using an iPhone on the other side of the planet. “Pocket Starships” game play is hardware and software agnostic, so regardless of device all users have the same game experience. We believe these attributes set “Pocket Starships” apart from every other game.

20 
 

 

We also believe that the true cross-platform and real-time engine of “Pocket Starships” positions the game to take advantage of the excitement generated by “esports” tournaments. “esports,” also known as “electronic sports,” pits teams of professional digital game players against each other in organized, multiplayer video game competitions. The most common video game genres associated with eSports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena games. Tournaments such as The International, the League of Legends World Championship, the Battle.net World Championship Series, the Evolution Championship Series, and the Intel Extreme Masters, provide both live broadcasts of the competition, and prize money and salaries to competitors. We recently have been releasing a series of software enhancements that will allow users to engage in “player vs. player” battles and other enhancements that will enable “Pocket Starships” to participate in eSports tournaments.

 

In June 2016, we obtained an exclusive option to purchase all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships (the “Option”) in consideration for 3,750,000 cash-based options, exercisable as follows: (a) 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2017; (b) 750,000 shares at $2.50 per share, expiring on December 31, 2018; and (c) 2,500,000 shares at $5.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2019. Under the Option, had the Company decided to exercise the Option, it would have purchased the assets for a cash payment of $5,000,000 plus $10,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time of closing of the purchase. The exclusive Option was exercisable by us at any time, in our sole discretion, through December 31, 2020.

 

On October 23, 2017, we restructured and exercised the Option by entering into a definitive agreement pursuant to which SPYR® acquired all of the game related assets of Pocket Starships in a cashless transaction, including the publishing agreement with Spectacle. The original terms of the Option were terminated. As a result, SPYR® acquired rights to retain 100% of the revenue generated from the game and will be the sole owner of all of the assets related to the game. The acquisition included, among other assets, all Pocket Starships related intellectual property, the userbase, artwork, software, internet domains, game store accounts (such as App Store, Play Store, Amazon, and Facebook Gameroom), web portal accounts (Facebook, VK.com, Kongregate, etc.) and internet domains (www.pocketstarships.com). Under the terms of the agreement, the game's owner received 8,000,000 restricted shares of SPYR® stock (subject to resale gating provisions) and 8,000,000 three-year cash-based options exercisable at $0.50 per share.

 

During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released toward the end of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, through a trading card expansion.

 

During July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Reset Studios, LLC for the development of at least two new idle tapper games to be published by SPYR®, the first of which, Steven Universe: Tap Together, features characters and storylines from Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe. The Company has secured the necessary license to use the Steven Universe IP in the game through a license agreement with Cartoon Network. The game allows players to play as a team of their favorite Steven Universe characters to battle increasingly difficult enemies in order to unlock new characters and rewards. By performing simple actions such as tapping the screen, players can progress in the game even when they’re not actively playing. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company intends to utilize cash on hand, shareholder loans and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities to conduct its ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and software development costs and implementation of our business plans generally. The Company may also decide to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

 

Business Overview

 

Our primary operation is the development of our electronic games publishing and development business through our wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR, APPS®, LLC. Our operations include entering into contracts with third party developers to create games we own and market ourselves; and, entering into contracts with third party developers to market and publish electronic

21 
 

games used on mobile devices such as telephones, tablets, PCs and console gaming systems, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Our electronic game assets are distributed for download on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Play Stores. For players of Pocket Starships, the game may be accessed via any web browser connected to the Internet, through hundreds of online portals worldwide, on Facebook.com, VK.com or through Amazon’s App Store.

 

Research and Development

 

We do not currently develop electronic games. However, from time to time we enter into third party agreements with game developers to create games that we own as our own intellectual property including: Plucky, Plucky Rush and Retro Shot. We currently do not have any contracts for the development of games that would add to our intellectual properties. As a component of our electronic games marketing and publishing business we contract with third party developers to market and publish third party games. Currently, we have contracts to market and publish Pocket Starships and Steven Universe Tap Together, both of which are developed by third parties.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We currently own four electronic games, Pocket Starships, Plucky, Plucky Rush and Rune Guardian. We also have a publication and marketing agreement with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of the game “Retro Shot, licenses to use Steven Universe IP in Steven Universe: Tap together, a game published by the Company and owned and developed by Reset Studios and to use Star Trek IP in Pocket Starships.

 

Competition

 

The mobile game market is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside our control, including the timely development and introduction of the mobile games we publish and market, and the related enhancements, functionality, performance, reliability, customer service and support and marketing efforts. Due to the relatively low barriers to entry in the mobile game market, we expect additional competition from other emerging companies. Many of our existing and potential competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources that will compete for available users, developers, talent and third-party games. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the publishing and promotion of their mobile games. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

 

Employees

 

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had 4 employees and 1 leased employees, none of whom is represented by a labor union.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On October 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware case: Zakeni Limited v. SPYR, Inc., f/k/a Eat at Joe’s., Ltd. The suit relates to the Company’s issuance of two convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 in 1998. On July 12, 2018, the court approved a Joint Motion for Order Approving Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will issue 3,500,000 common shares valued at $1,050,000, warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.25 per share valued at $276,000, warrants to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at $0.50 per share valued at $398,000, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.75 per share valued at $259,000. The total value of the settlement, $1,983,000 has been recorded as litigation settlement liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and is a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

 

The Company is being represented by Alex Spiro, Esq., a partner with the firm of Quinn Emmanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Marc S. Gottlieb, Esq., a partner with the firm of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SPYR, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SPYR, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for SPYR, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Nature of Business

 

The primary focus of SPYR, Inc. (the “Company”) is to act as a holding company and develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC and SPYR APPS, Oy, we operate our mobile games and applications business. The focus of the SPYR APPS subsidiaries is the development and publication of our own mobile games as well as the publication of games developed by third-party developers. As of October 5, 2016, SPYR APPS, Oy ceased business activities and completed the dissolution process on October 18, 2017.

 

Through our other wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL Airport, Inc., we owned and operated the restaurant “Eat at Joe’s®,” which was located in the Philadelphia International Airport since 1997. Our lease in the Philadelphia Airport expired in April 2017. Concurrent with expiration of the lease the restaurant closed. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the assets and liabilities of EAJ as well as the results of its operations were presented in these financial statements as discontinued operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPYR, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (discontinued operations, see Note 9), and Branded Foods Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, however, the issues described below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $15,643,000 and utilized cash in continuing operations of $4,020,000. As of December 31, 2017, our cash balance was $86,000 and we had trading securities of $48,000. In addition, the Company’s restaurant, Eat at Joes closed in April 2017, concurrent with the expiration of the lease. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to expand its mobile games and application development and publishing activities, such as Pocket Starships, through acquisition and/or development of its own intellectual property and publishing agreements with developers.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities or through sales of our common stock. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2018. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for trading securities, fixed assets, intangible assets, capitalized licensing rights, amounts of potential liabilities, and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 415,559, Options – 13,320,000, Warrants – 1,700,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2016 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Non-vested Common – 20,333, Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 161,108, Options – 12,900,000 and Warrants – 200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Capitalized Gaming Assets and Licensing Rights

 

Capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights represent costs to acquire trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, music or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the right to use the intellectual property in multiple products over a number of years, or alternatively, for a single product.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in evaluating these qualitative factors.

 

On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all assets that refer, relate or pertain to the real—time cross-platform MMO game commonly known and referred to as “Pocket Starships,” including but not limited to all intellectual property, know how, “urls,” websites, game engines, game store accounts, prior versions, company names and trade names, business plans, financial reports, financial data, employee data, customer lists, forecasts, strategies, and all other business information; manufacturing or other technical or scientific know-how, specifications, technical drawings, drawings, artwork, music, diagrams, schematics, technology, processes, and any other trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, materials, formulae, compositions, information, data, results, plans, surveys and/or reports of a technical nature; and software programs (including all forms of code), software documentation, software development kits, game design documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services, including any additions, enhancements or modifications to the foregoing or derivatives thereof after the date hereof.

SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $3,200,000, options to purchase up to eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $2,452,000, and assumed liabilities of $210,000 for a total purchase price of $5,862,000. The options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $0.50 and will expire starting August 31, 2020. The acquisition of “Pocket Starships” was reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets of $5,381,000. The Company will amortize the capitalized cost on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven to ten years.

 

Further, the options previously issued pursuant to a purchase option agreement dated June 25, 2016, which provided for the option to purchase up to three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand shares of Registrant’s common stock, are fully vested and remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the purchase option agreement.

 

During 2017, the Company capitalized $175,000 pursuant to a licensing agreement for the non-exclusive, limited right to incorporate certain intellectual property (IP) from various STAR TREK television series in to future updates to and expansions of the Pocket Starships game. The Company estimates that the IP will have an estimated life of 1.6 years, which approximates the term of the license. In addition, we also acquired the game titled Battlewack: Idle Lords for $100,000, pursuant to settlement with the game owner and developer. Battlewack: Idle Lords requires additional development before it can be released.

 

In a prior period, the Company capitalized $50,000 as a result of the acquisition of licensing rights of one gaming application. The Company estimates that the gaming application will have an estimated life of five years, which approximates the term of the license.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $52,000. As of December, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accumulated amortization was $52,000 and $10,000, respectively and the unamortized capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights amounted to $743,000 and $40,000 respectively.

 

The expected annual amortization expense related to capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights as of December 31, 2017, is as follows:

 

 2018   $69,000 
 2019    69,000 
 2020    69,000 
 2021    69,000 
 2022    69,000 
 Thereafter    123,000 
      Total   $468,000 

 

Software Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for software development are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $1,666,000 and $1,151,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. We recognize revenue when the sale is completed.

 

Though our wholly owned subsidiary E.A.J.: PHL, Airport, Inc. (discontinued operations, see Note 9) we generated revenue from the sale of food and beverage products through our restaurant. Revenue from the restaurant was recognized upon sale to a customer and receipt of payment.

 

The Company recognizes revenue using four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured, which is typically after receipt of payment and delivery.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation is recorded at the time property and equipment is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the expected useful lives of the related assets or the lease term. The estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Equipment 5- 7 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Leasehold improvements 6 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation and amortization thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for its intangible assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other. Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates non-amortizing intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

 

The cost of internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.

An intangible asset with a definite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $6,000. As of December 31, 2017, total intangible assets amounted to $20,000 which consist of website development costs. There were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets at December 31, 2017. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have to record impairment to our intangible assets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant and is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with financial institutions, in the form of demand deposits. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The Company’s trading securities are measured at fair value using level 1 fair values.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising, marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Advertising, marketing and promotional expense was $195,000 and $350,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively and was reflected as part of Other General and Administrative Expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reclassifications

 

In presenting the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, certain costs and expenses paid to third party developers in the amount of $735,000, that were previously reflected as other general and administrative expenses, have been reclassified and reported as part of research and development.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Our revenue is recognized at the time of sale and we do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have any significant impact on our operating cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is 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 in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - TRADING SECURITIES

 

Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. Trading securities are recorded at market value and the difference between market value and cost of the securities is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities will be utilized to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth, including, but not limited to: conducting our ongoing business, conducting strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of the Company’s business plans generally.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

Investments in securities are summarized as follows:

 

   Fair Value at     Proceeds  Loss on  Contributed  Unrealized  Fair Value at

The Company reported the $160,000 difference between the value of the trading securities and cash sale price as contributed capital.

 

On September 5, 2017, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit from Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to $1,000,000 with interest at 6% per annum. The loan is secured by a first lien on all the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC. Repayment on the loan is due February 28, 2019. As of December 31, 2017, we have borrowed $800,000.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company did not provide any Federal and State income tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the Company’s net losses.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed using the US statutory federal income tax rate is as follows:

 

   December 31,
   2017  2016
Tax provision at US statutory federal income tax rate  $(690,000)  $(2,320,000)
State income tax, net of federal benefit   —      —   
Change in valuation allowances   690,000    2,320,000 
     Provision for Income Taxes  $—     $—   

 

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets were:

 

   December 31,
   2017  2016
Deferred Tax Assets:          
     Net operating loss carry forward  $4,926,000   $3,746,000 
     Unrealized losses on marketable securities   2,000    251,000 
     Stock based compensation   —      197,000 
     Depreciation and other   (13,000)   31,000 
    4,915,000    4,225,000 
Less valuation allowance   (4,915,000)   (4,225,000)
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $—     $—   

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the effects of tax losses, credits and the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $4,915,000 for its deferred tax assets. The Company believes that such assets did not meet the more likely than not criteria to be recoverable through projected future profitable operations in the foreseeable future.

 

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB guidance that addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The FASB also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company’s net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2017 was approximately $18,700,000 and may be offset against future taxable income through 2037. Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation if the Company experiences a 50% change in ownership, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an ownership change would substantially increase the possibility of net operating losses expiring before complete utilization.

In December 2017, new tax known as Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted. The new tax law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax systems including a rate reduction from 35% to 21% beginning in January of 2018, a change in the treatment of foreign earnings going forward, a deemed repatriation transition tax, and changes to allow net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, net operating losses arising after December 31, 2017 will be limited to the lesser of the available net operating loss or 80% of the pre-net operating loss taxable income.

 

In accordance with ASC 740, the impact of a change in tax law is recorded in the period of enactment. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash, change in its net deferred tax balances of approximately $2,429,000 related to the tax rate change. The Company estimates that its deemed repatriation liability will not be material due to its limited international operations.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In many cases the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. However, as of December 31, 2017, the years subsequent to 2013 remain open and could be subject to examination by tax authorities including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and major state and local tax jurisdictions in the United States.

 

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative expenses.”

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest and penalties, nor did the Company recognized any interest or penalties expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

 

We are involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies to the extent that our management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. A material legal proceeding that is currently pending is as follows:

 

On October 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware case: Zakeni Limited v. SPYR, Inc., f/k/a Eat at Joe’s., Ltd. The suit relates to the Company’s issuance of two convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 in 1998. On July 12, 2018, the court approved a Joint Motion for Order Approving Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will issue 3,500,000 common shares valued at $1,050,000, warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.25 per share valued at $276,000, warrants to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at $0.50 per share valued at $398,000, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.75 per share valued at $259,000. The total value of the settlement, $1,983,000 has been recorded as litigation settlement liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, with a corresponding charge to litigation settlement costs on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016,

 

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

 

The Company is being represented by Alex Spiro, Esq., a partner with the firm of Quinn Emmanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Marc S. Gottlieb, Esq., a partner with the firm of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Pursuant to employment agreements entered in December 2014 and October 2015, the Company agreed to compensate three officers with a base salary in the aggregate of $450,000 per year through 2020. In addition, as part of the employment agreement, the Company also agreed to grant these officers an aggregate of 1.55 million shares of common stock at the beginning of each employment year.

 

Game Development Agreements

 

The Company is party to various game development agreements. Payments are contingent upon the developer(s) meeting specified milestones and game performance. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has agreed to pay up to $843,000 during the period from January 2018 through January 2019.

 

Common Stock To Be Issued

 

The Company is party to various third-party service agreements to be paid through the issuance of the company’s restricted common stock. Contingent upon the third parties providing the agreed upon services, the Company will issue up to 4,570,000 restricted common shares at various intervals during the period from January 2018 through February 2019. The shares will be recorded at fair value on the date earned under the respective agreements.

As of December 31, 2016, 579,167 of these shares had vested and 20,833 common shares were unvested. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the remaining 20,833 of these shares vested and as a result, the Company recognized compensation cost of $46,000. As of December 31, 2017, there were no unvested shares and no unearned compensation costs to be recorded.

 

When calculating basic net income (loss) per share, these shares are included in weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest. When calculating diluted net income per share, these shares, if dilutive, are included in weighted average common shares outstanding as of their grant date.

The table below represents the average assumptions used in valuing the stock options and warrants granted in fiscal 2016:

 

    Year Ended
December 31,
 
    2016 
Expected life in years   0.61 – 3.0 
Stock price volatility   132% - 159% 
Risk free interest rate   0.56 % - 1.54%

The table below represents the average assumptions used in valuing the stock options and warrants granted in fiscal 2017:

 

    Year Ended
December 31,
 
    2017 
Expected life in years   1.00 – 3.19 
Stock price volatility   127% - 157% 
Risk free interest rate   1.26 % - 1.70% 
Expected dividends   —   
Forfeiture rate   —   

 

The assumptions used in the Black Scholes models referred to above are based upon the following data: (1) the contractual life of the underlying non-employee options is the expected life. The expected life of the employee option is estimated by considering the contractual term of the option, the vesting period of the option, the employees’ expected exercise behavior and the post-vesting employee turnover rate. (2) The expected stock price volatility was based upon the Company’s historical stock price over the expected term of the option. (3) The risk free interest rate is based on published U.S. Treasury Department interest rates for the expected terms of the underlying options. (4) The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common shareholders in the future. (5) The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeiture activity and assumptions regarding future forfeitures based on the composition of current grantees.

 

NOTE 8 - PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Class A Preferred Stock carries the following rights and preferences;

 

Dividends

 

The Company shall, in its discretion, determine when and if dividends will be paid on the Class A Preferred Shares, and whether it will be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. All Class A Preferred Stockholders shall be treated the same with respect to the payment of dividends. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock, the shares of common stock issued as dividends will be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Class A Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable as may be determined by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Class A Preferred Stock will have priority as to dividends over the Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights

 

The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall vote for the election of directors, and shall have full voting rights, except that each Class A Preferred share shall entitle the holder to exercise ten thousand (10,000) votes for each one (1) Class A Preferred Share held.

 

Redemptive Rights

 

The Class A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

 

Conversion Rights

 

The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will be entitled at any time to convert their shares of Class A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock at the rate of one (1) share of Class A Preferred Stock be converted into common shares of the Company at an agreed price of forty cents ($0.40) per share (the "Conversion Price"), which, based upon the recorded fair value of the Class A Preferred Stock, results in a conversion ratio of 1 share of Class A Preferred Stock to approximately 250 shares of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued.

 

The Conversion Ratio of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted in certain circumstances, including the payment of a stock dividend on shares of the Common Stock and combinations and subdivisions of the Common Stock.

 

In the case of any share exchange, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or reclassification, whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, the Company will make appropriate provisions so that the holder of each share of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding, will have the right thereafter to convert such share of Class A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately increased in the case of subdivision of shares. If the shares of Common Stock are combined, consolidated or reverse split into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionally decreased. The kind and type of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock both before and after combination, consolidation or reverse split of the Common Shares shall be the same.

The same transfer restrictions imposed on the Class A Preferred Stock shall be applicable to the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, although for purposes of Rule 144 as presently in effect, the holding period requirement may be met by adding together the period in which the Class A Preferred Stock is held and the period in which the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, is held.

 

Other Provisions

 

The shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be issued and any Common Shares into which it is converted, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall not have pre-emptive rights with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Company or any other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock or rights or options to purchase any such shares.

 

The Class E Convertible Preferred Stock carries the following rights and preferences;

 

* No dividends.
* Convertible to common stock based upon proceeds received upon issuance of the shares, divided by the average closing bid price for the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the conversion date, and is adjustable to prevent dilution.  At December 31, 2017, the 20,000 Class E preferred shares were convertible to 415,559 common shares.
* Convertible at the Option of the Company at par value only after repayment of the shareholder loans from Joseph Fiore and subject to the holder’s option to convert.
* Entitled to vote 1,000 votes per share of Series E Convertible Preferred Shares.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Organization

 

The Company was incorporated as Conceptualistics, Inc. on January 6, 1988 in Delaware. Subsequent to its incorporation, the Company changed its name to Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. In February 2015, the Company changed its name to SPYR, Inc. and adopted a new ticker symbol “SPYR” effective March 12, 2015.

 

Nature of Business

 

The primary focus of SPYR, Inc. (the “Company”) is to act as a holding company and develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR APPS, LLC we operate our mobile games and applications business. The focus of the SPYR APPS subsidiary is the development and publication of our own mobile games as well as the publication of games developed by third-party developers.

 

Through our other wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL Airport, Inc., we owned and operated the restaurant “Eat at Joe’s®,” which was located in the Philadelphia International Airport since 1997. Our lease in the Philadelphia Airport expired in April 2017. Concurrent with expiration of the lease the restaurant closed. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the assets and liabilities of EAJ as well as the results of its operations were presented in these financial statements as discontinued operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPYR, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (discontinued operations, see Note 7), and Branded Foods Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, however, the issues described below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $5,013,000 and utilized cash in continuing operations of $1,476,000. As of June 30, 2018, our cash balance was $168,000 and we had trading securities of $19,000. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited)

The Company plans to expand its mobile games and application development and publishing activities, such as Pocket Starships and Steven Universe: Tap Together, through acquisition and/or development of its own intellectual property and publishing agreements with developers.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities, through sales of our common stock, and through related party loans. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2018. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for trading securities, fixed assets, intangible assets, capitalized licensing rights, amounts of potential liabilities, and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 312,520, Options – 13,740,000, Warrants – 5,300,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 312,520, Options – 13,740,000, Warrants – 5,300,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 185,874, Options – 6,120,000, Warrants – 1,200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 185,874, Options – 6,120,000, Warrants – 1,200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Capitalized Gaming Assets and Licensing Rights

 

Capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights represent costs to acquire trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, music or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the right to use the intellectual property in multiple products over a number of years, or alternatively, for a single product.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in evaluating these qualitative factors.

 

On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all assets that refer, relate or pertain to the real—time cross-platform MMO game commonly known and referred to as “Pocket Starships,” including but not limited to all intellectual property, know how, “urls,” websites, game engines, game store accounts, prior versions, company names and trade names, business plans, financial reports, financial data, employee data, customer lists, forecasts, strategies, and all other business information; manufacturing or other technical or scientific know-how, specifications, technical drawings, drawings, artwork, music, diagrams, schematics, technology, processes, and any other trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, materials, formulae, compositions, information, data, results, plans, surveys and/or reports of a technical nature; and software programs (including all forms of code), software documentation, software development kits, game design documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services, including any additions, enhancements or modifications to the foregoing or derivatives thereof after the date hereof.

 

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $3,200,000, options to purchase up to eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $2,452,000 and assumed liabilities of $210,000 for a total purchase price of $5,862,000. The options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $0.50 and will expire starting August 31, 2020. The acquisition of “Pocket Starships” was reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets during 4th quarter 2017. The Company amortizes the capitalized cost on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven to ten years.

 

Further, the options previously issued pursuant to a purchase option agreement dated June 25, 2016, which provided for the option to purchase up to three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand shares of Registrant’s common stock, are fully vested and remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the purchase option agreement.

 

During 2017, the Company capitalized $175,000 pursuant to a licensing agreement for the non-exclusive, limited right to incorporate certain intellectual property (IP) from various STAR TREK television series in to future updates to and expansions of the Pocket Starships game. The Company estimates that the IP will have an estimated life of 1.6 years, which approximates the term of the license. In addition, we also acquired the game titled Battlewack: Idle Lords for $100,000, pursuant to settlement with the game owner and developer. Battlewack: Idle Lords requires additional development before it can be released.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $17,000 and $34,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the unamortized capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights amounted to $709,000 and $743,000 respectively.

Software Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for software development are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $453,000 and $265,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $154,000 and $152,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We adopted this new revenue recognition standard along with is related amendments on January 1, 2018 and have updated our accounting policy for revenue recognition. As expected, at our current level of revenue, the adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations operating cash flows.

 

We determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. The Company’s dedicated mobile gaming applications can be downloaded through the app stores maintained by Apple and Google. The Company’s cross platform gaming application, which can be played on personal computers, Facebook and mobile devices, can be downloaded from the internet and Facebook as well as through the app stores maintained by Apple, Google and Amazon.

 

We operate our games as live services that allow players to play for free. Within these games players can purchase virtual items to enhance their game-playing experience. Our identified performance obligation is to display the virtual items within the game. Payment is required at time of purchase and the purchase price is a fixed amount.

 

Players can purchase our virtual items through various widely accepted payment methods offered in the games, including Apple iTunes accounts, Google Play accounts, Facebook local currency payments, PayPal and credit cards. Payments from players for virtual items are non-refundable and relate to non-cancellable contracts that specify our obligations.

 

For revenue earned through app stores, players utilize the app store’s local currency-based payments program to purchase virtual items in our games. For all payment transactions on these app store platforms, the app store remits to us 70% of the price we request to be charged to the player for each transaction, which represents the transaction price. We recognize revenue net of the amounts retained by the app stores for platform and payment processing fees.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is 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 in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, an entity will recognize the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2017-11 effective January 1, 2018 without a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - TRADING SECURITIES

 

Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. Trading securities are recorded at market value and the difference between market value and cost of the securities is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities will be utilized to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth, including, but not limited to: conducting our ongoing business, conducting strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of the Company’s business plans generally.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

Investments in securities are summarized as follows:

   Fair Value at  Gain on  Unrealized  Fair Value at

On September 5, 2017, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit from Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc. Berkshire is controlled by Joseph Fiore, majority shareholder and former chairman of the board of directors of the Company. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to $1,000,000 with interest at 6% per annum. The loan is secured by a first lien on all the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC. Repayment on the loan is due February 28, 2019.

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and is a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

Stock price volatility   138% - 153% 
Risk free interest rate   2.12 % - 2.9% 
Expected dividends   —   
Forfeiture rate   —   

 

The assumptions used in the Black Scholes models referred to above are based upon the following data: (1) the contractual life of the underlying non-employee options is the expected life. The expected life of the employee option is estimated by considering the contractual term of the option, the vesting period of the option, the employees’ expected exercise behavior and the post-vesting employee turnover rate. (2) The expected stock price volatility was based upon the Company’s historical stock price over the expected term of the option. (3) The risk-free interest rate is based on published U.S. Treasury Department interest rates for the expected terms of the underlying options. (4) The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common shareholders in the future. (5) The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeiture activity and assumptions regarding future forfeitures based on the composition of current grantees.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data referred to in this Form S-1.

 

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements, which include statements concerning revenue sources and concentration, selling, general and administrative expenses and capital resources, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Form S-1 that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the information set forth in this Form S-1 is as of June 30, 2018, and we undertake no duty to update this information.

 

Plan of Operations – Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS®, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. Our primary focus is on the development and expansion of our mobile games and applications. We anticipate we will need to hire additional employees during 2018 to help with the development and marketing of existing and future games and applications.

 

During the past two years we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of our game Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the 4th quarter of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager, through a trading card expansion. In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed. Steven Universe: Tap Together, a new tapper game featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe, a popular animated television series on Cartoon Network. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to build upon this foundation and focus our efforts on marketing and optimizing user acquisition and retention. We will also continue to provide the monthly advances to Spectacle and Reset for further development, enhancement and maintenance of the games as needed to meet the needs of the users and maximize revenue into the future. In addition to our plans for Pocket Starships and the new tapper, we will continue to seek additional games and apps to publish as we strive to broaden our range of products and increase revenues and operating cash flows. We expect these marketing, development and expansion plans will be financed through existing cash, operating cash flows from game revenues and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. The Company may also decide to expand and/or diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other related or unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

Other general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $238,000 for the year months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year months ended December 31, 2016.

 27 

2017 through December 31, 2019. Total fair value of the options of $472,000 was recorded as an expense in full in 2016 due to the uncertainty of the timing of such acquisition.

The assets acquired are reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets of $5,381,000.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carry-forwards, capital loss carry overs, unrealized losses on trading securities, and deductible temporary differences of approximately $21,700,000 compared to $13,700,000 in deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased its net operating loss carry-forwards by approximately $9,000,000 and used or lost approximately $1,000,000 in deductible temporary differences. Management believes it is more likely than not that forecasted income, together with future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, will not be sufficient to fully recover the deferred tax assets and has established a 100% valuation allowance of $4,915,000 against these potential future tax benefits. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets quarterly.

The note holder has the right, at any time on or after 181 calendar days after the date of the note, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s restricted common stock at $0.20 per share.

As previously described, during the past two years we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of our game Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the second half of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager, through a trading card expansion.

 

In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed of a new tapper game, Steven Universe: Tap Together, featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe, a popular animated television series on Cartoon Network. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company will continue to seek additional capital through the sale of its common stock, debt financing and through expansion of its existing and new products. If these goals do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs and that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Comparison of 2017 to 2016

 

Operating Activities - For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company used cash for operating activities of $4,118,000 and $3,929,000, respectively. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of our digital media publishing, advertising and gaming operations. Increases are due primarily to increases in rent, professional fees, and game development costs, partially mitigated by decreases in labor and other general and administrative expenses. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.

 

Investing Activities - During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid $100,000 and is obligated to pay another $75,000 during 2018 for licensing rights to CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company received $783,000 in cash proceeds from sales of trading securities and used cash of $569,000 for the purchase of trading securities, property plant and equipment, and licensing rights.

 

Financing Activities - During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to an existing shareholder and former officer/employee for cash of $300,000. The common shares had a fair value of $510,000 at the date of sale, and as a result, the Company reflected an additional expense of $210,000 to account the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of common shares sold. The Company also obtained a revolving line of credit from Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to $1,000,000 with interest at 6% per annum. Repayment on the loan is due February 28, 2019. During 2017 we borrowed $800,000 on this line of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to a service provider for $15,000.

 

 33 

During 2016 and 2017 we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed a new tapper game, Steven Universe: Tap Together, featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe, a popular television series on Cartoon Network. Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to build upon this foundation and focus our efforts on marketing and optimizing user acquisition and retention. We will also continue to provide the monthly advances to Spectacle and Reset for further development, enhancement and maintenance of the existing games as needed to meet the needs of the users and maximize revenue into the future. In addition to our plans for Pocket Starships and Steven Universe: Tap Together, we will continue to seek additional games and apps to publish as we strive to broaden our range of products and increase revenues and operating cash flows. We expect these marketing, development and expansion plans will be financed through existing cash, operating cash flows from game revenues and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities.

 

Comparison of The Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 to 2017

 

Operating Activities - For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used cash in operating activities from continuing operations of $1,476,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used cash in operating activities of $2,111,000. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of our digital media publishing, advertising and gaming operations. Decreases are due primarily to decreases in cash settled professional fees, game development costs, and other general and administrative expenses partially offset by increased in rent and cash settled labor and related costs. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.

 

Investing Activities – The Company did not have any investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used cash of $50,000 for the purchase of software licensing rights.

 

Financing Activities - During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold 6,700,000 shares of restricted common stock to third parties and one related party for $905,000, borrowed $55,000 from a related party short-term advance, borrowed $200,000 from a related party line of credit, and borrowed $400,000 from convertible debt from third-party lenders. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to a former officer/employee for $300,000.

 

The Company expects future development and expansion will be financed through cash flows from operations and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.

 

The Company currently does not have sufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities or through sales of our common stock. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

 

The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State, and Local laws governing its business. Each subsidiary is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of authorities in its State or municipality. These may include health, safety, and fire regulations. The Company's operations are also subject to Federal and State minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

We determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS®, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. The Company’s dedicated mobile gaming applications can be downloaded through the app stores maintained by Apple and Google. The Company’s cross platform gaming application, which can be played on personal computers, Facebook and mobile devices, can be downloaded from the internet and Facebook as well as through the app stores maintained by Apple, Google and Amazon.

 

We operate our games as live services that allow players to play for free. Within these games players can purchase virtual items to enhance their game-playing experience. Our identified performance obligation is to display the virtual items within the game. Payment is required at time of purchase and the purchase price is a fixed amount.

 

Players can purchase our virtual items through various widely accepted payment methods offered in the games, including Apple iTunes accounts, Google Play accounts, Facebook local currency payments, PayPal and credit cards. Payments from players for virtual items are non-refundable and relate to non-cancellable contracts that specify our obligations.

 

For revenue earned through app stores, players utilize the app store’s local currency-based payments program to purchase virtual items in our games. For all payment transactions on these app store platforms, the app store remits to us 70% of the price we request to be charged to the player for each transaction, which represents the transaction price. We recognize revenue net of the amounts retained by the app stores for platform and payment processing fees.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges

 35 

generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant and is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

LOSS CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Board Meetings and Committees

 

The Directors and Officers will not receive remuneration from the Company for attendance at Board Meetings or participation on Committees until a subsequent offering has been successfully completed, or cash flow from operations permits, all in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at such meetings of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as Director.

Based solely upon a review of forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments thereto, furnished to the Company during or respecting its last fiscal year, no director, officer, beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company or any other person known to be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for the last fiscal year.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Company's board of directors does not have an "audit committee financial expert," within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of: (i) understanding generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and financial statements; (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements; (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that there is not any audit committee member who has obtained these attributes through the experience

 38 

specified in the SEC's definition of "audit committee financial expert." Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated "audit committee financial expert."

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Our primary objective for of our senior officer compensation is to attract, motivate and retain qualified officers to lead the Company in the pursuit of its business goals and combine strategic thinking, creative talent, and strict corporate governance in order to position the Company to capitalize on a wide variety of business opportunities without being limited by any single industry or platform.

 

Compensation for executive officers is based upon their individual employment contracts with such base salary and annual bonuses as may be determined by the Chairman of the Board from time to time, payable in accordance with the regular practices of the Company.

 

The following table set forth the compensation of the Company’s executive officers for the year ended 2017 and 2016.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

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

 

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except as limited by Nevada law. The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law each of its directors and officers against expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation.

 

Nevada law

 

Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows: “78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of expenses. 1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the

 43 

fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful.”

 

“A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.”

 

“Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.”

 

“To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.”

 

“Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.”

 

“The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise.

 44 

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5) Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii) Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Undertakings

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5) Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
