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, “Management’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

8

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

The consolidated financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been audited by UHY McGovern Hurley LLP (with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2017) and Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP (with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2016), each an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are incorporated herein by reference.

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. These costs, based upon the time related to preparing this section of the prospectus, are estimated to be $14,161. 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 Company’s 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.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid J Streicher Capital, LLC, a placement agent (the “Agent”), $60,669 in cash commission and issued to the Agent 572,354 agent warrants (the “Agent Warrants”). Each Agent Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock on or before November 28, 2022 at an exercise price of $0.15. If the average closing price of the Company’s common stock is over $0.30 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 Agent Warrants accelerating the expiry date to a date not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.
