Exhibit 99.2

                       Spherix Reports Management Changes


     BELTSVILLE, Md., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spherix Incorporated
(Nasdaq: SPEX) today announced the resignation of Thomas W. Gantt from his
position of CEO and President, and as a Member of the Board of Directors.  Mr.
Gantt had served as CEO and President for one year, following his four years
on the Board.  Mr. Gantt said he regretted leaving the Company, but "I think
it is appropriate at this time in that I have come to believe the Company
should decrease its future biotechnology efforts in favor of placing its main
thrust on its information services business, particularly in developing a
strong information technology position.  However, I believe this is more than
the Board is willing to consider at this time.  This is an honest difference
of opinion, and we part good friends.  As a friend and shareholder, I wish the
Company well."

    Board Chair, Dr. Gilbert V. Levin, said that Richard C. Levin, who has
been with the Company 13 years in various Officer capacities, has been named
Acting CEO and President.

    Dr. Levin said that he wants to thank Mr. Gantt for his many productive
years of service to the Company, and for the economies he instituted as CEO
and President.  "We intend to continue the beneficial policies that he
implemented to improve our financial condition, and we appreciate him for his
efforts.  We wish him well."
