FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that may be identified by the use of words like may, will, could, would, should, expect, plan, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, project, consider, predict, potential, feel, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith evaluation of information available at the time the forward-looking statements were made. However, such statements are dependent on and, therefore, can be influenced by a number of external variables over which we have little or no control. For a discussion of significant risk factors applicable to us, see Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation, including the Section captioned Risk Factors therein, in the Fiscal 2017 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as, a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.
DILUTION
The Company does not have adequate revenue to fund all of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to generate substantial revenue growth could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Companys deployment of its products, and may result in the Company looking to obtain such additional financing, resulting in possible dilution. Any such financing will dilute the ownership interest of the Companys shareholders at the time of the financing, and may dilute the value of their shareholdings.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of our common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to the shareholders.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our Board of Directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

$$/page=
Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for the selling shareholders by Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP.
EXPERTS

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the Shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the Shares are referred to as the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders acquired their Shares in the Private Placement, as described below.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the selling shareholders. We will pay all costs of registering the Shares offered by the selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders will pay all sales commissions and other costs of the sale of the Shares offered by them.
On November 28, 2017, the Company completed a private placement (the Private Placement) for the sale of 35,783,612 units (the Units) at $0.106 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $3,793,063. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one-half (1/2) of one Unit Warrant. Each Unit Warrant is exercisable into one Unit Warrant Share or before November 28, 2022 at an exercise price of $0.18. If the average closing price of the Companys common stock is over $0.36 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending after November 28, 2019, the Company may give notice to the registered holders of the Unit Warrants accelerating the expiry date to a date not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders, including their transferees, donees, pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Shares offered by this prospectus from time to time on the TSXV, the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| --- | --- |
| | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to
sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by
the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of
the applicable exchange; |
| | privately negotiated transactions; |
| | broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to
sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| | a combination of any such methods of sale; |
| | through the writing or settlement of options or other
hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
| | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In completing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the selling shareholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of their securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of §2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the securities as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
If any selling shareholder enters into an agreement to sell his or her securities to a broker-dealer as principal, and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker-dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.

The selling shareholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
We agreed to file the registration statement no later than March 28, 2018 and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective 150 days following the date the registration statement is filed with the SEC, and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of one year or for such shorter period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the date as of which all of the selling shareholders may sell all of the securities registered under this registration statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule thereto) or (ii) the date when all of the securities registered hereunder shall have been sold.
We have advised the selling shareholders that they, and any securities broker-dealers or others who sell the Shares on behalf of the selling shareholders, may be deemed to be statutory underwriters and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. We have also advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a distribution of the securities owned by the selling shareholder, the selling shareholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (1934 Act) until their participation in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase securities of the same class as is the subject of the distribution. A distribution is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. We have also advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any stabilizing bid or stabilizing purchase for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the Shares in connection with this offering.

Management Contract
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
20
$$/page=
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act; |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of
Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
and |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement. |
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
21
$$/page=
| (A) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of
the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and |
| --- | --- |
| (B) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in
reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the
date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date
of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in
the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the
issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall
be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
or |
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
22
$$/page=
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424; |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred
to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned registrant to the
purchaser. |
