(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SPYR, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 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.

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, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $544,000 and have current liabilities of $5,043,000. As of June 30, 2020, our cash balance was $13,000. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 also plans to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas and is exploring opportunities to do so.

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our common stock and debt financing. 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 our financing goals for our products do not materialize as planned and 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 2020. 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 basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 1,852,538, Options – 8,999,900, Warrants – 9,000,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 1,107,420, Options – 12,449,900, Warrants – 9,000,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 1,852,538, Options – 8,999,900, Warrants – 9,000,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 1,107,420, Options – 12,449,900, Warrants – 9,000,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Capitalized Gaming Assets and Licensing Rights

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s capitalized gaming assets consist of Battlewack: Idle Lords which requires additional development before it can be released. As such, the Company does not expect amortization expense related to capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights until existing or future gaming assets, through development or acquisition, are placed into service.

Software Development Costs

Costs incurred for software development are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $0 and $26,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

Accounts Receivable

The following is a summary of receivables at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer's ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will recognize an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due and consideration of other factors such as industry conditions, the current business environment and the Company's historical payment experience. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

As of June 30, 2020, management has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of approximately $12,000.

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 the financial institutions.

The Company grants credit to its game revenue and service revenue customers. The Company typically does not require collateral from customers. Credit risk is limited due to the financial strength of the customers comprising the Company’s customer. The Company monitors exposure of credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances (See “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts” above).

Major Customers

The Company had two related party customers who comprised 0% and 98% of net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 60% and 0% of net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The loss of these customers would adversely impact the business of the Company.

Recent Accounting Standards

The 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 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 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.

Settlements

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.(“Defendants”). 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 alleged 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 alleged that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleged 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 sought 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.

Pursuant to a settlement agreement among the parties, on April 14, 2020, final judgment was entered in the case: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management, Inc. and Eat at Joes, Inc., n/k/a SPYR, Inc., case number 7:18-cv-05474-KMK filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On April 23, 2020, Joseph Fiore/Berkshire Capital Management, Inc. satisfied the Company’s joint and several liability obligation by paying to the Commission the agreed upon sum of Two Million Dollars pursuant to a settlement agreement between Joseph Fiore/Berkshire Capital Management, Inc. and the Company, which settlement agreement was entered into on April 15, 2020. The Company has until April 14, 2021 to satisfy its remaining financial obligation to the Commission, an agreed upon civil penalty of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The $500,000 liability is reported as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and was recorded as litigation settlement costs on the consolidated statements of operations on the Company’s form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In electing to settle with the Commission, the Company neither admitted nor denied liability to any of the Commission’s allegations in its complaint, and in consideration for the Commission discontinuing its action, the Company, along with the two other defendants Joseph Fiore and Berkshire Capital Management agreed to be jointly and severally liable for disgorgement of profits and prejudgment interest in the amount of two million dollars, and to each be solely liable to pay a civil penalty in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars.^[1]

Judgments

On or about January 24, 2019, SPYR APPS, LLC entered into an agreement with one of its vendors, Shatter Storm Studios, to whom it owed $84,250 for artwork related to the Steven Universe game. Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, SPYR APPS, LLC needed to make payment in the amount of $85,000 to cover the principal owed and attorneys’ fees together plus 6% interest in that amount by December 1, 2019. Should SPYR APPS, LLC not make the required payment on or before December 1, 2019, it consented to entry of judgment in favor of Shatter Storm Studios for the amount owed. SPYR APPS, LLC did not make the payment and on January 27, 2020 Shatter Storm Studios initiated Case No. 1:200cv-00217 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado seeking entry of the consent judgment against SPYR APPS, LLC. The judgment was not contested by SPYR APPS, LLC and judgment in the amount of $85,000 plus post judgment interest at the rate of 6% was entered on March 17, 2020. The $85,000 plus accrued interest and attorneys’ fees has been reported as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The balance due as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $91,000 and $90,000, respectively.

^[1] In addition, an injunction was entered against the Company enjoined it from violating the antifraud, market manipulation, beneficial ownership reporting, and other provisions of the federal securities laws charged in the SEC’s complaint.

Covid-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company, the Company is anticipating potential reductions in revenue, labor and supply shortages, difficulty meeting debt covenants, delays in collecting accounts receivable and paying liabilities and changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities. Our concentrations due to major customers and the necessity for fund raising activities make it reasonably possible that we are vulnerable to the risk of a near-term severe impact.

Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including potential credit losses on receivables and investments; impairment losses related to capitalized gaming assets and other long-lived assets; and contingent obligations.

Our primary focus is on the development and expansion of our mobile games and applications.

During the past several 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. 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.

In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we 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. As of December 31, 2019, the Cartoon Network license was terminated and the game was removed from the stores.

Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to seek and obtain additional capital from outside investors for operations and expansion, including but not necessarily limited to refining and better monetizing Pocket Starships and seeking out and pursuing acquisition opportunities within and without the gaming space. We will also continue to utilize the services of game developers 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 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, shareholder loans and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. The Company also plans to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas and is exploring opportunities to do so.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 of $544,000. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had current assets of $31,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $13,000, accounts receivable of $14,000, prepaid expenses of $2,000 and trading securities of $2,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has met its capital requirements through collection of revenues and accounts receivable, from the proceeds of SBA PPP note payable and SBA EIDL grant, and from the sale of certain office equipment.

The Company currently does not have sufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months. 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. 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.

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.

Operating Activities - For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company used cash in operating activities of $71,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company used cash in operating activities of $490,000. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of our mobile games and applications. Decreases are due to a combination of increased revenues and decreases in operating expenses. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.

Investing Activities - During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased property and equipment for $5,000 and sold property and equipment for $5,000. The Company had no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Financing Activities - During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $71,000 from the U.S. Small Business Administration pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program and received a $3,000 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the quarterly and annual 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.

Game Revenues

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 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.

Service Revenues

Our professional services arrangements are either fixed-fee billing or time-and-material billing arrangements. In fixed-fee billing arrangements, we agree to a predetermined fee for a predetermined set of professional services. We set the fee based upon our estimate of the time and costs necessary to complete the engagements. Under time-and-materials billing arrangements, the fee is based on the number of hours worked at the agreed upon billing rates. We recognize service revenue upon completion of the service.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Not applicable.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 June 30, 2020, 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.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Settlements

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.

Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleged 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 alleged that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleged 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 sought to disgorge Joseph A.
