TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Organization and Nature of Business

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.

The Company’s common stock is traded on OTC Markets under the symbol “SPYR.”

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.

The Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

On March 24, 2015, the Company organized its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, (“Apps”) a Nevada Limited Liability Company. 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.

OPERATING LOSSES

The Company has incurred net losses from operations of $15,993,000 and $7,361,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such operating losses reflect developmental and other administrative costs for 2017 and 2016. The Company expects to incur losses in the near future until profitability is achieved. The Company’s operations are subject to numerous risks associated with establishing any new business, including unforeseen expenses, delays and complications. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitable operations.

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AND UNCERTAINTY OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING

Revenues are not yet sufficient to support the Company’s operating expenses and are not expected to reach such levels until the Company completes its expansion plans of building a portfolio of mobile games published and/or developed under its umbrella.

On December 17, 2015, we entered into an exclusive publishing agreement with Spectacle Games for Pocket Starships for a term of five years, expiring on December 17, 2020. Spectacle Games is a California corporation, holding the exclusive rights to publish and market Pocket Starships, including the ability to sublicense these rights to other parties, pursuant to an agreement with MMOJoe UG. MMOJoe UG, a German limited liability company (“MMOJoe”) is the owner and developer of all intellectual property that relates or pertains to Pocket Starships. The exclusive publishing agreement provides for the Company to fund advanced development and marketing of Pocket Starships in exchange for 50% of the revenue generated by Pocket Starships, plus a recoupment, out of Spectacle’s share of the revenue, of the development money advanced by the Company. Should the Company decide to exercise the Option, the Company will receive 100% of the revenue generated by Pocket Starships.

In June 2016, we obtained an exclusive option to purchase all of MMOJoe’s assets including but not limited to 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 MMOJoe for cash 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 with the game's owner pursuant to which SPYR will own all of the game related assets of Pocket Starships, in a cashless transaction, and the publishing agreement with Spectacle as well as the original terms of the Option will be terminated, which means that SPYR will now be able 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 includes, 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 will receive 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 the 2^nd 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 will feature characters and storylines from a popular television series of a major television network, the name of which will be released as soon as it is contractually permitted. The Company has secured the necessary license to use the IP in the game through a license agreement with the network. The game will allow players to play as a team of their favorite 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. This new tapper game is currently in the soft launch stage of development and is scheduled to be released during second quarter 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.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The Company is subject to all pertinent federal, state, local, and international 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.

COMPETITION

The Company faces competition from a wide variety of participants in the mobile games industry and restaurants, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing and technological resources than the Company.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 4 employees and 2 leased employees, none of whom is represented by a labor union.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

All administrative activities of the Company are conducted from the Company’s headquarters located at 4643 South Ulster Street, Suite 1510, Denver, Colorado.

The Company leases approximately 5,169 square feet at 4643 South Ulster Street, Denver, Colorado pursuant to an amended lease dated May 21, 2015. The lease expires December 31, 2020. Under the lease, the Company pays annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $143,000 to $152,000.

Beginning October 17, 2016, we began leasing shared office for one employee in Redmond, Washington on a month to month basis at a cost of $225 per month per desk, increasing to $275 per month starting in December 2016.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary leases office shared office space in Berlin Germany pursuant to a lease dated June 29, 2017 and expiring on March 31, 2018. Under the lease, the Company pays monthly base rent of $4,248 (3,570 Euros).

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. The plaintiff is seeking payment or conversion of said convertible debentures together with accrued interest and unspecified damages. The Company believes the claim is not a valid debt and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. On December 4, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the suit based on the statute of limitations. In evaluating a motion to dismiss, the Court is only allowed to view the allegations set forth in the plaintiff’s complaint and documents referenced therein, must assume that those allegations are true, and must construe all evidence contained in the referenced documents in a light most favorable to the plaintiff. On August 24, 2016, under this standard, the Court determined that the legal requirements to grant the motion to dismiss had not been fully satisfied and denied the Company’s Motion to Dismiss. Accordingly, no final determinations regarding liability have been made, the case will proceed to be litigated in the normal course, and, if the Company elects, it will have the ability to again present its arguments for dismissal prior to trial through a motion for summary judgment, which will allow for a determination to be made based on a legal standard that is slightly less favorable to the plaintiff. If that motion is denied, the Company will still have the opportunity to present all of its arguments and defenses at trial, at which Zakeni will have to prove its case by a preponderance of the evidence. The case is scheduled for trial on October 30, 2018. Based upon available information at this stage of litigation, it is still the belief of management and opinion of in-house counsel that the Company will obtain a favorable ruling. Management does not expect any loss resulting from this lawsuit to be material.

Not applicable.

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 10-K.

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 10-K that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the information set forth in this Form 10-K is as of December 31, 2017, 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.

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 2^nd 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. In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed of a new tapper game to feature characters and storylines from a popular television series of a major television network. This new tapper game is currently in the soft launch stage of development and is scheduled to be released during second quarter 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 diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other related or unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

COMPARISON OF 2017 TO 2016

The consolidated results of continuing operations are as follows:

Results of Operations - For the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $15,993,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $7,361,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. This change is due primarily to the issuance of restricted common stock, options and warrants in exchange for services and gaming assets. During 2017 we issued 22,741,924 common shares, 8,920,000 options, and 1,700,000 warrants with a total fair value of $11,512,000 compared to 6,353,899 common shares, 12,900,000 options, and 200,000 warrants with a total fair value of $3,308,000.

Total Revenues - For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had total sales of $128,000 and $139,000, respectively, for a decrease of $11,000. Management plans to expand its mobile application and game development and monetization efforts and believes the anticipated updates to Pocket Starships with Star Trek IP and the release two new idle tapper games planned during 2018 will bring increased revenues in the coming year.

Labor and related expenses includes the costs of salaries, wages, leased employees, contract labor, and the fair value of common stock and options granted to employees for services. For the year ended December 31, 2017 the company had total labor and related expenses of $2,358,000 with $898,000 ($386,000 Digital Media and $512,000 Corporate) being settled in cash and $1,459,000 ($503,000 Digital Media and $956,000 corporate) being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the company had total labor and related expenses of $1,467,000 with $941,000 ($385,000 Digital Media and $556,000 Corporate) being settled in cash and $526,000 ($190,000 Digital Media and $336,000 Corporate) being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. At the corporate level, cash compensation decreased by $44,000, while the amounts paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value increased by $620,000 for a net increase of $577,000. At the digital media level, cash compensation increased by $1,000, and the amounts paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value increased by $313,000 for a net increase of $577,000. The cost of labor is expected to increase in conjunction with expansion of the digital media operations.

The cost of rent increased $44,000 from $146,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $186,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company leases approximately 5,169 square feet at 4643 South Ulster Street, Denver, Colorado pursuant to an amended lease dated May 21, 2015 and expiring on December 31, 2020. Under the lease, the Company pays annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $142,000 to $152,000. Beginning September 1, 2016, we began leasing office space in Berlin, Germany on a month to month basis at a cost of EUR 250 plus 19% tax per person up to a maximum of 10 people. On June 29, 2017, we signed a new lease for the Berlin office space for EUR 3,570 per month beginning July 2017 through March 31, 2018. Berlin office is being used by leased employees hired by the Company for the marketing and user acquisition for the Pocket Starships game. Beginning October 17, 2016, we began leasing shared office for one employee in Redmond, Washington on a month to month basis at a cost of $225 per month per desk, increasing to $275 per month starting in December 2016.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This is attributable to depreciation and amortization expenses on the purchase of office equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements for the new corporate headquarters in Denver Colorado of $41,000 in 2016, new office equipment of approximately $7,000 in 2016 for use in our Digital Media Mobile Games Publishing and Advertising operations, and the exchange of share and options for the acquisition of $481,000 of gaming assets during 2017.

Professional fees increased $2,613,000 from $3,292,000 in 2016 to $5,905,000 in 2017. This increase is Professional fees during 2017 included the grant of 13,442,912 shares of restricted common stock, 920,000 options and 1,700,000 warrants to purchase restricted common stock issued to third parties for legal, public relations, and consulting services, and vesting of shares of restricted common stock with a total fair value of $4,401,000. The remaining $1,504,000 is due to $604,000 in legal, accounting and other professional service needs, $617,000 for public relations, and $293,000 in consulting services related to our digital media operations. Professional fees during 2016 included the grant of 4,509,912 shares of restricted common stock, 150,000 options and 200,000 warrants issued to third parties for public relations and consulting services recorded at fair value of $2,306,000. The remaining $986,000 is due to $234,000 in legal, accounting and other professional service needs, $587,000 for public relations, and $163,000 in consulting services related to our digital media operations.

Research and development costs. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred research and development costs of $1,666,000 in connection with fees paid to game developers for the development of its current and soon to be released games, compared to research and development costs of $1,151,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

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. The decrease can be attributed primarily to marketing costs which decreased by $155,000, travel costs which decreased by $108,000, insurance costs which increased by $17,000 and various other general and administrative cost increases.

As described above, during 2016, the Company obtained an exclusive option to purchase all of MMOJoe’s assets including but not limited to all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships for cash 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 in exchange for granted MMOJoe stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3.75 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The stock options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $1.00, $2.50 and $5.00 and expire starting in December 31, 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 Company had unrealized losses on trading securities of $11,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to unrealized losses of $57,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

The Company did not sell any trading securities during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company realized losses from the sale of trading securities of $95,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Realized gains and losses are the difference between the selling prices and fair value of the underlying trading securities at the date of sale.

As previously described, during 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.” 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 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.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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 the accompanying financial statements as discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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.

The Company has generated a net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $15,993,000 and utilized cash in operations of $4,118,000. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had current assets of $173,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $86,000, and trading securities of $48,000.

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.

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 begun development of a new tapper game to feature characters and storylines from a popular television series of a major television 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 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 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, local and international 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

The Company generates revenues from its wholly owned subsidiaries, which operate separate and distinct businesses. The following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies.

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. The Company receives revenue from the sale of advertising provided with games and through in-app purchases. 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.

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.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders SPYR, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SPYR, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2017, 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 the results of its operations and its cash flows the each of the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financials have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has accumulated losses of approximately $47.209.000, has generated limited profit, and may experience losses in the near term. These factors and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plan, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is also described in Note 1. 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 audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.

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 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 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 year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $15,993,000 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.

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.

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.

Also 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Litigation Costs

Material litigation costs expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies are estimated and included in professional fees.

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 principle 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:

Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, sales proceeds and gross realized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale securities and trading securities were:

The following table discloses the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the methods used to determine fair value:

Generally, for all trading securities and available-for-sale securities, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices (level 1).

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $105,000 and $98,000, respectively.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 3, 2016, the Company sold trading securities valued at $340,000 to Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc. (“Berkshire”) for $500,000. Berkshire is controlled by Joseph Fiore, majority shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of the Company. 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:

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

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. The plaintiff is seeking payment or conversion of said convertible debentures together with accrued interest and unspecified damages. The Company believes the claim is not a valid debt and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. On December 4, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the suit based on the statute of limitations. In evaluating a motion to dismiss, the Court is only allowed to view the allegations set forth in the plaintiff’s complaint and documents referenced therein, must assume that those allegations are true, and must construe all evidence contained in the referenced documents in a light most favorable to the plaintiff. On August 24, 2016, under this standard, the Court determined that the legal requirements to grant the motion to dismiss had not been fully satisfied and denied the Company’s Motion to Dismiss. Accordingly, no final determinations regarding liability have been made, the case will proceed to be litigated in the normal course, and, if the Company elects, it will have the ability to again present its arguments for dismissal prior to trial through a motion for summary judgment, which will allow for a determination to be made based on a legal standard that is slightly less favorable to the plaintiff. If that motion is denied, the Company will still have the opportunity to present all of its arguments and defenses at trial, at which Zakeni will have to prove its case by a preponderance of the evidence. The case is scheduled for trial on October 30, 2018 and the Company has recorded anticipated litigation and court costs in accrued expenses. Based upon available information at this stage of litigation, it is still the belief of management and opinion of in-house counsel that the Company will obtain a favorable ruling. Management does not expect any loss resulting from this lawsuit to be material.

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 6,530,000 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.

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

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

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;

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statements disclosure.

Management of the Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that financial information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeframes specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, consistent with Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K.

In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such financial information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.

As of December 31, 2017, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other persons carrying out similar functions for the Company. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (Revised 2013) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, Management concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to certain identified material weaknesses. These identified material weaknesses include, (i) insufficient accounting staff, (ii) inadequate segregation of duties, (iii) limited checks and balances in processing cash and other transactions, and (iv) the lack of independent directors and independent audit committee.

The Company is committed to improving its disclosure controls and procedures and the remediation of identified control weaknesses. As capital becomes available, Management plans to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff, add independent directors to the Board of Directors and establish an independent audit committee. We cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements, nor can we make assurances that additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future.

The Company continues to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by accounting personnel. In addition, the Company evaluates and assesses its internal controls and procedures regarding its financial reporting as necessary and on an on-going basis.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:

The Company has no reportable changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this report.

The Company will continually enhance and test its internal controls over financial reporting on a continuing basis. Additionally, the Company’s management, under the control of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will increase its review of its disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis. Finally, the Company plans to designate, in conjunction with its Chief Financial Officer, individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and the process for resolving compliance issues related to them. The Company believes these actions will focus necessary attention and resources in its internal accounting functions.

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. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. No compensation has been paid to the Directors. The Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees. No such committees have been appointed.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

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 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."

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.
