EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate in its entirety the following items of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 1 of Part I “Financial Information,” (ii) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (iii) Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures,” and we have also updated the signature page. No other sections were affected. This report on Form 10-Q/A is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described below.
We have determined that our previously reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 erroneously omitted an equity transaction that was the result of the SPYR, Inc. committing an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to an independent contractor with a total fair value of $321,000 for services rendered. As a result, the Company accrued the entire $321,000 as of September 30, 2021. The shares agreed upon were valued as of September 20, 2021, the date earned under the respective agreement, based upon closing market price of the Company’s common stock. This omission came as an error, due to filing the wrong draft of the 10-Q, not that the company failed to accrue for the transaction, as the second to last draft circulated had been updated correctly, it was in the final draft that these changes were not included.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement of operations, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 included in this Form 10-Q/A have been restated to include the effects of the accrual of 7,000,000 shares of restricted common stock committed to an independent contractor with a total fair value of $321,000 for services rendered. We have made necessary conforming changes in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” resulting from the correction of this error.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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, 2020 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 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, Applied Magix, Inc., a Nevada corporation, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company (discontinued operations, see Note 9), E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (discontinued operations, see Note 9), and Branded Foods Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (dissolution pending). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Restatement of Financial Statements
Our condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine month periods then ended have been restated to include the effects of an equity transaction that was the result of the SPYR, Inc. committing an aggregate of 321,000 for services rendered. As a result, the Company accrued the entire $321,000 as of September 30, 2021. The shares agreed upon were valued as of September 20, 2021, the date earned under the respective agreement, based upon closing market price of the Company’s common stock. We previously filed the wrong draft of our quarterly report. Our previously reported results erroneously excluded the accrual from labor and related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, as well as, from accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2020 financial statements to conform with the 2021 presentation related to the discontinued operations of SPYR APPS, LLC. See Note 9 Discontinued Operations for additional information.
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 Nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $3,497,000 and utilized cash in operations of $1,261,000. As of September 30, 2021, our cash balance was $30,000, and we had trading securities valued at $2,000. 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 implementation of our Applied Magix 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 2021. 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, derivative liabilities, and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – , Class E – , Options – , Warrants – ) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2020 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – , Class E – , Options – , Warrants – September ) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended 30, 2020.
The basic and fully diluted shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – nine , Class E – , Options – , Warrants – ) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the months ended September 30, 2021.
The basic and fully diluted shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – , Class E – , Options – , Warrants – ) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Product Research and Development Costs
Costs incurred for product research and development are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $9,000 and $0 in product development costs paid to independent third parties.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
(Unaudited)
We adopted this new revenue recognition standard along with its related amendments on January 1, 2018 and have updated our accounting policy for revenue recognition. As expected, at our current level of revenue, the adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations or operating cash flows.
We determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary Applied Magix we are a registered Apple® developer, and reseller of Apple ecosystem compatible products and accessories with an emphasis on the smart home market. The Company’s products are available for sale through its website at https://appliedmagix.com/shop/, as well as the eBay Marketplace and Amazon Marketplace. Payment is required at time of purchase and the purchase price is a fixed amount.
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.
Inventory
The Company’s inventory consisting of Magix Drive units and Apple HomeKit compatible products for resale by the Company, is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory balances for estimates of excess and obsolete amounts. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when the expected realizable value of a specific inventory item falls below its original cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value. The write-downs are recognized as a component of cost of sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized inventory write downs of approximately $1,000. As of September 30, 2021, the inventory was valued at $60,000. As of December 31, 2020, the company held no inventory.
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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s only derivative financial instruments were embedded conversion features associated with long-term convertible notes payable which contain certain provisions that allow for a variable number of shares on conversion.
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.
Advertising Costs
Advertising, marketing, and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising, marketing, and promotional expense was $118,000 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively and was reflected as part of Other General and Administrative Expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. In November 2019, the effective date of this ASU was deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a third-party investor. By virtue of the Stock Purchase Agreement, in two separate closings, the Company agreed to sell, in each closing, an 8% $500,000 Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant to purchase one million common shares. Each Convertible Promissory Note bears 8% interest and matures five year after issuance. Amounts due under the Convertible Promissory Note are convertible into the Registrant’s common stock at the lower of $ per share or 70% of the average of the three lowest Variable Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the Registrant’s common stock for the twenty trading days prior to an election to convert. The Warrants are exercisable for five-years at an exercise price of per share or, subject to the Registrant filing a registration statement including the shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrant, in a cashless exercise. The first closing occurred October 5, 2020 upon the receipt by the Company of a check for $500,000. The Company received two payments in the amount of $250,000 each on November 20, 2020 and November 24, 2020 in connection with the second closing. Total proceeds from the issuance of these convertible notes payable was $1,000,000. The Company determined that the conversion features of these notes represented embedded derivatives since the notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. The conversion features were valued at $1,514,000 at the time of closing and the Company recognized a derivative liability of $1,514,000 with corresponding debt discounts of $1,000,000 and a loss on issuance of long-term convertible notes payable of $514,000. During May and June of 2021, the Company received conversion notices received from the lender requesting the conversion of approximately $204,000 ($160,000 principal and $44,000 interest) of the notes to shares of the company’s common stock. On July 29, 2021, a convertible note holder converted $100,000 of principal debt and $15,000 of interest at a conversion rate of $0.0324 a share, into Common Stock shares. On August 6, 2021, the company entered into an Amendment of the existing convertible debt, of which resulted in the conversion rates changing to 50% of the average of the lowest VWAP, and the interest on the loan was eliminated., as well as, a $455,000 increase in the Derivative Liability portion of the convertible debt, from $1,382,000 to $1,761,000. The company recorded amortization of debt discounts, recognized as interest expense, in the amount of $330,000 and accrued interest of $47,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the principal balance together with accrued interest is recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet net of discounts at $27,000.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company determined that the conversion features of the long-term convertible notes payable represented embedded derivatives since the notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt and the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments is recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each note and any excess of the fair value of the derivative component over the face amount of the note recorded as an expense on the date of issuance. Discounts are amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the notes. Fair value of derivative liabilities is evaluated at the end of each reporting period with any change in value reported in other income or expenses on the statements of operations for the period.
The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Equity Line of Credit
The Company entered into a five-year Equity Line of Credit pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement with Brown Stone Capital, LP, dated September 30, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement, Brown Stone agreed to invest up to $14,000,000 to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, par value $ per share. The purchase price of the common shares is the lesser of the Fixed price or Market price.

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 had 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). On May 17, 2021, the Company borrowed approximately $501,000 from a related party to pay its principal settlement liability with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has done so (See Note 2 – Related Party Transactions). As of September 30, 2021, the $500,000 together with accrued interest of approximately $1,000 has been paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission in settlement of this obligation.
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 balance due as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $98,000 and $95,000, respectively and is reported as part of current liabilities of discontinued operations.
[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 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 intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and contingent obligations.

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-Q that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

Plan of Operations
Through our wholly owned subsidiary Applied Magix, Inc., acquired October 20, 2020, we are a registered Apple® developer, and reseller of Apple ecosystem compatible products with emphasis on the smart home market. As such, we are in the global “Internet of Things” (IoT) market, and more specifically, the segment of the market related to the development, manufacture and sale of devices and accessories specifically built on Apple’s HomeKit® framework. These products work within the Apple® HomeKit® ecosystem and are exclusive to the Apple market and its consumers. Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES we developed, published, and co-published mobile games, and then generated revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. Our primary focus moving forward is on the development and expansion of our Apple compatible products and devices.
Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to execute on that plan by sourcing, reselling, manufacturing, developing, and selling the foregoing types of products, including our proprietary branded products. 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 also plans to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas and is exploring opportunities to do so.

Cost of goods sold include the costs of inventory, inbound freight, duty and customs charges for the items sold during the period and inventory write downs recognized during the period.

The cost of rent decreased $18,000 from $23,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company leased 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 paid annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $142,000 to $152,000. On May 1, 2020 and July 29, 2020, the Company entered into amended lease agreements with its landlord. Under the terms of the amendments, the landlord agreed to waive rent, certain rent adjustments and parking for the period April 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020 and extend the term of the lease by five months. The lease term date, which was December 31, 2020, was changed to May 31, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease termination and payment agreement with its landlord, pursuant to which the Company vacated and surrendered the premises to the landlord and the Company will pay approximately $67,000 over 18 months commencing April 1, 2021.

Under the lease, the Company pays monthly rent of $1,400.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by approximately $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Depreciation and amortization expenses are attributable to depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets in service during respective periods. We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in 2021 commensurate with the acquisition of additional property, equipment, and intangible assets in connection with our planned Applied Magix business operations.
Professional fees increased $31,000 from $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
23
Research and development costs during the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $0, compared to research and development costs of $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company had no unrealized gains or losses on trading securities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to unrealized losses of $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities at the respective reporting dates.

Results of Operations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $3,386,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $862,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This change is due primarily to increases labor and related expenses of $865,000, professional fees of $541,000, other general and administrative expenses of $51,000, and interest expenses of $349,000. Another item contributing to the increase in the loss is the change in value of derivative liability of ($336,000), as well as gains on settlement of debt and forgiveness of debt for $498,000 and $73,000, respectively, and also a loss on conversion of debt for $832,000.
More detailed explanation of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 changes are included in the following discussions.
Total Revenues - For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had total revenue of $1,000 and $189,000, respectively, for a decrease of $188,000. This change is due to the Company no longer providing professional services to related parties. Since March 31, 2020, the Company has not and does not anticipate that it will provide any further professional services to related parties. Our current business is focused on the development of our wholly owned subsidiary, Applied Magix. The Company received its first order of inventory during late March 2021 consisting of Apple HomeKit products for resale by the and our second order of inventory in mid May 2021 consisting of MagixDrive, our branded Apple CarPlay product for resale by the company. These products are available for sale through its website at https://appliedmagix.com/shop/, as well as the eBay Marketplace, and Amazon Marketplace. In addition, the Company has also paid a down payment in the amount of $32,500 for the development of Applied Magix proprietary products expected to be completed later this year.
Cost of goods sold include the costs of inventory, inbound freight, duty and customs charges for the items sold during the period and inventory write downs recognized during the period.
Labor and related expenses include the costs of salaries, wages, leased employees, contract labor, and the fair value of common stock and options granted to employees and directors for services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the company had total labor and related expenses of $1,352,000 with $350,000 being settled in cash, $442,000 in accrued salaries, and $560,000 being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the company had total labor and related expenses of $487,000 with $125,000 being settled in cash, $337,000 in accrued salaries, and $25,000 being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. The cost of labor is expected to increase in conjunction with expansion of operations.
25
The cost of rent decreased $35,000 from $88,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $53,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company leased 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 paid annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $142,000 to $152,000. On May 1, 2020 and July 29, 2020, the Company entered into amended lease agreements with its landlord. Under the terms of the amendments, the landlord agreed to waive rent, certain rent adjustments and parking for the period April 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020 and extend the term of the lease by five months. The lease term date, which was December 31, 2020, was changed to May 31, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease termination and payment agreement with its landlord, pursuant to which the Company vacated and surrendered the premises to the landlord and the Company will pay approximately $67,000 over 18 months commencing April 1, 2021. In addition, effective March 1, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Applied Magix, entered into a 6-month lease for 2 workspace offices located at 1230 Rosecrans Ave, Manhattan Beach California. Under the lease, the Company pays monthly rent of $1,400.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by approximately $18,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Depreciation and amortization expenses are attributable to depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets in service during respective periods. We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in 2021 commensurate with the acquisition of additional property, equipment, and intangible assets in connection with our planned Applied Magix business operations.
Professional fees increased $541,000 from $65,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $606,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the $606,000, $135,000 was paid in cash for legal, accounting, and other professional service needs and $471,000 was paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. Professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $65,000 in legal, accounting, and other professional service needs.
Research and development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $9,000, compared to research and development costs of $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Research and development costs are expected to increase as we develop our planned proprietary Apple HomeKit products.
Other general and administrative expenses increased $51,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company had interest expense on a related party notes payable, short-term notes payable, convertible notes payable and U.S. Small Business Administration debt of $529,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company sold certain office equipment for $8,000 which resulted in a gain on disposition of assets of $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company sold certain office equipment for $8,000 which resulted in a gain on disposition of assets of $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company received a $3,000 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration during the for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not have a corresponding grant for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The Company recognized a loss on the change in value of a derivative liability related to its long-term convertible notes payable in the amount of $336,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company did not have a corresponding loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company had unrealized gains on trading securities of $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to no unrealized losses or gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities at the respective reporting dates.
26
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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $3,497,000 and utilized cash used in operations of $1,261,000. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had current assets of $152,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $30,000, prepaid expenses of $46,000, inventory of $60,000, trading securities of $2,000, and current assets of discontinued operations of $14,000.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has met its capital requirements through a combination of proceeds from related party notes payable, proceeds from short-term notes payable, proceeds from SBA PPP note payable, from the sale of certain office equipment, and through the use of existing cash reserves.
The Company currently does not have sufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months. The Company will continue to seek additional capital through the sale of its common stock, debt financing and through expansion of its existing and new products. If these goals do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs and that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
The Company also plans to expand and/or diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other related or unrelated business areas as opportunities present themselves.
Operating Activities - For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used cash in operating activities of $1,261,00. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company used cash in operating activities of $79,000. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of Applied Magix products. Increases are due to increases in cash-paid operating expenses. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.
Investing Activities - During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold property and equipment for $10,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased property and equipment for $5,000 and sold property and equipment for $8,000.
Financing Activities - During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company borrowed $198,000 from third parties, $501,000 from related parties, and $73,000 from the U.S. Small Business Administration pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program. During the nine months ended September 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.
27
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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company’s only derivative financial instruments were embedded conversion features associated with long-term convertible notes payable which contain certain provisions that allow for a variable number of shares on conversion.
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.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
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 September 30, 2021, 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 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.
Consideration of Restatement
In light of the restatement discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, our principal executive and principal financial officers reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, including whether the error identified was the result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have again concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
On September 17, 2021, the Company’s CFO, Mr. Barry Loveless, resigned. On November 5, 2021, the Company retained Trang Nguyen as its new CFO. In support of the transition between Mr. Loveless’ resignation and Ms. Trang’s engagement, the Company retained the services of Pinnacle Tax Services, a third-party CPA firm to assist in the preparation of portions of this filing.
The Company is committed to the development, enhancement, and testing of 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
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
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 had 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). On May 17, 2021, the Company borrowed approximately $501,000 from a related party to pay its principal settlement liability with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has done so (See Note 2 – Related Party Transactions). As of September 30, 2021, the $500,000 together with accrued interest of approximately $1,000 has been paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission in settlement of this obligation.

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 balance due as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $98,000 and $95,000, respectively and is reported as part of current liabilities of discontinued operations.
