Our Company
We are a provider of technologically-advanced telecom solutions to network operators, mobile device carriers, governmental units and other enterprises worldwide. We have assembled a portfolio of communications, power and portable infrastructure technologies, capabilities and products that enable the upgrading of latent 3G networks to 4G and 4G-LTE networks and will facilitate the rapid roll out of the 5G and “next-Generation” (“nG”) networks of the future. We focus on novel capabilities, including signal modulations, antennae, software, hardware and firmware technologies that enable increasingly efficient data transmission across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our product solutions are complemented by a broad array of services, including technical support, systems design and integration, and sophisticated research and development programs. While we compete globally on the basis of our innovative technology, the breadth of our product offerings, our high-quality cost-effective customer solutions, and the scale of our global customer base and distribution, our primary focus is on the North American telecom infrastructure and service market. We believe we are in a unique position to rapidly increase our near-term domestic sales as we are among the few U.S.-based providers of telecommunications equipment and services.
We provide the following categories of product offerings and solutions to our customers:
● | Telecom and Network Products and Solutions. We design, develop, market and sell technologically-advanced products for telecom network operators, mobile device carriers and other enterprises, including the following: |
● | Backhaul Telecom Radios. We offer a line of high-capacity packet microwave solutions that drive next-generation IP networks. Our carrier-grade point-to-point packet microwave systems transmit broadband voice, video and data. Our solutions enable service providers, government agencies, enterprises and other organizations to meet their increasing bandwidth requirements rapidly and affordably. The principal application of our product portfolio is wireless network transport, including a range of products ideally suited to support the emergence of underlying small cell networks. Additional solutions include leased-line replacement, last mile fiber extension and enterprise networks. |
● | In-Band Full-Duplex Technologies. We have developed proprietary wireless transmission technologies that alleviate the performance limitations of the principal transmission technologies used by most networks today. Time Division Duplex ("TDD") transmission technology used by many communications systems utilizes a single channel for transmission of data alternating between downlink or uplink, which limits capacity/throughput. Frequency Division Duplex ("FDD") technologies in the marketplace today use two independent channels for downlink and uplink but require twice the spectrum. Neither TDD nor FDD can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single channel — a limitation that network advancements and 5G will require for optimal performance. In late 2021, we intend to commence marketplace demonstrations of products incorporating our proprietary In-Band Full-Duplex technologies that simultaneously transmit and receive data on a single channel, which resolves the limitation of current TDD and FDD transmissions by increasing network performance and doubling spectrum efficiency. We intend to begin commercializing this technology in the first half of 2022. |

● | Edge Compute Capable Small Cell 4G LTE and 5G Access Radios. We offer Citizens Broadband Radio Service frequency and other small cell radios that are designed to connect to other access radios or to connect directly to mobile devices such as mobile phones and other Internet of things ("IoT") devices. Recently, we developed what we believe is the world’s first fully-virtualized 5G core network on a microcomputer the size of a credit card, enabling, for the first time, the ability to have the 5G network collocated on the network edge with the small cell communicating with the devices themselves. The small cells support edge-based application hosting and enable third-party service integration. |
● | Intelligent Batteries and Back-Up Power Solutions. We are developing for the telecom industry a full line of environmentally-friendly, non-volatile advanced intelligent lithium-ion batteries and back-up power units that charge quickly, have a life span approximately five times longer than conventional lead-acid batteries, and can be monitored remotely. We are also currently offering and developing models that provide power for a wide range of applications, including cellular towers and other radio access network infrastructures, automobiles, boats, spacecraft and other vehicles. |
● | Tethered Drones and Aerostats. We design, manufacture, sell and provide logistical services for specialized tethered aerial monitoring and communications platforms serving national defense and security customers for use in applications such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) and communications. We focus primarily on a suite of tethered aerostats known as the Winch Aerostat Small Platform, which are principally designed for military and security applications and provide secure and reliable aerial monitoring for extended durations while being tethered to the ground via a high-strength armored tether. Our recently-acquired HoverMast line of quadrotor-tethered drones feature uninterruptible ground-based power, fiber optic communications for cyber immunity, and the ability to operate in GPS-denied environments while delivering dramatically-improved situational awareness and communications capabilities to users. |
We are also developing processes that we believe will significantly advance the state-of-the-art in silicon photonic (SiP) devices for use in advanced data interconnects, communication networks and computing systems. We believe our novel approach will allow us to overcome the limitations of current SiP modulators, dramatically increase computing bandwidth and reduce drive power while offering lower operating costs.
Our engineering and management teams have extensive experience in optical systems and networking, digital signal processing, large-scale application-specific integrated circuit design and verification, SiP design and integration, system software development, hardware design, high-speed electronics design and network planning, installation, maintenance and servicing. We believe this broad expertise in a wide range of advanced technologies, methodologies and processes enhances our innovation, design and development capabilities, and has enabled us, and we believe will continue to enable us, to develop and introduce future-generation communications and computing technologies. In the course of our product development cycles, we engage with our customers as they design their current and next-generation network equipment in order to gauge current and future market needs.
Our more than 700 customers include a majority of the leading global telecommunication operators, as well as many data center managers and leading multi-system operators, and hundreds of enterprise customers, including many Fortune 500 companies. We have long-standing, direct relationships with our customers and serve them through a direct sales force and a global network of channel partners.

Risks Associated With Our Business
Our ability to execute our business strategy is subject to numerous risks, as more fully described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary. You should read these risks before you invest in our securites. In particular, risks associated with our business include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | Since our recent acquisition of ComSovereign in November 2019, we lack an established operating history on which to evaluate our consolidated business and determine if we will be able to execute our business plan, and we can give no assurance that our operations will result in profits. |
● | We incurred net losses in our fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 with negative cash flows, and we cannot assure you as to when, or if, we will become profitable and generate positive cash flows. |
● | We expect to continue to incur losses from operations and negative cash flows, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |
● | We may not generate sufficient cash flows to cover our operating expenses. |
● | We have significant debt and if we are unable to repay our debt when it becomes due, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed. |
● | If we are unable to obtain additional funding when needed, our business operations will be harmed, and if we do obtain additional financing, our then-existing stockholders may suffer substantial dilution. |
● | Raising capital in the future could cause dilution to our existing stockholders and may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights. |
● | The COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic. |
● | Rapid technological change in our market and/or changes in customer requirements could cause our products to become obsolete or require us to redesign our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. |
● | Product development is a long, expensive and uncertain process, and our failure to develop marketable products in our various markets could adversely affect our business, prospects and financial condition. |
● | We compete with companies that have significantly more resources for their research and development efforts than we have or have received government contracts for the development of new products. |
● | Product quality problems, defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our products could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. |
● | If we lose our rights to use software we currently license from third parties, we could be forced to seek alternative technology, which could increase our operating expenses and could adversely affect our ability to compete. |

ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES TO SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We issued all of the Notes and the Warrants in 2021 in connection with the following transactions:
May 2021 Private Placement.. On May 27, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May Purchase Agreement”) with Lind Global Asset Management IV, LLC (the “Initial Investor”), pursuant to which we sold to the Initial Investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $11,000,000 (the “May Note”) and warrants (the “May Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,820,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $10,000,000 (representing an original issue discount of 10.0% on the Initial Note), of which $5,000,000 was paid on May 28, 2021 and $5,000,000 was paid on June 2, 2021.
The May Note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of funding and matures on May 27, 2023. We were originally required to make monthly interest payments commencing six months after the date of issuance of the May Note and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $611,111 each, commencing six months after the date of issuance of the May Note. So long as shares of our common stock are registered for resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner of sale, we have the right to make interest and principal payments in the form of additional shares of common stock, which shares will be valued at 90% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of such shares of common stock (the “Repayment Share Price”); provided, however, that with respect to the first interest payment, the holder of the May Note has the right to direct that the payment of such interest be made in shares of our common stock.
The May Note is convertible by the holder in whole or in part at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date into shares of our common stock, originally at a conversion price of $4.50 per share, subject to adjustment. However, the holder of the May Note will not have the right to convert any portion of the May Note if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion and under no circumstances may convert the May Note if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion. We have the right to prepay the May Note at any time with no penalty (the “Buy-Back Right”). However, should we exercise our Buy-Back Right, the holder of the May Note will have the option of converting 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the May Note into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (A) the Repayment Price, or (B) the conversion price then in effect.
The May Note is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and properties and the assets and properties of our subsidiaries, subject only to the mortgage lien on our manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona and the liens securing approximately $1 million principal amount of outstanding indebtedness of one of our subsidiaries.
The May Warrants are exercisable to purchase up to 1,820,000 shares of common stock, originally for a purchase price of $4.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time on or prior to May 27, 2026, and may be exercised on a cashless basis if the shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants are not then registered under the Securities Act. The May Warrants have the same exercise limitation as is included in the May Note.
7
August 2021 Private Placement. On August 25, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August Purchase Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund II LP (the “Lind Global Fund”), pursuant to which we sold to Lind Global Fund a senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,800,000 (the “August Note”) and warrants (the “August Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,315,789 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $5,000,000 (representing an original issue discount of 16.0% on the August Note), which $5,000,000 was paid on August 26, 2021.
The August Note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of funding and matures on August 25, 2023. We are required to make monthly payments commencing five business days after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC, but in no event later than November 30, 2021, and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $322,222 each. So long as shares of our common stock are registered for resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner of sale, we have the right to make interest and principal payments in the form of additional shares of common stock, which shares will be valued at the Repayment Share Price; provided, however, that with respect to the first interest payment, Lind Global Fund has the right to direct that the payment of such interest be made in shares of our common stock.
The August Note is convertible by the holder in whole or in part at any time at a conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment. However, the holder of the Note will not have the right to convert any portion of the Note if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion and under no circumstances may convert the Note if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion. We have the right to prepay the August Note at any time with no penalty; however, should we exercise such right, the holder of the August Note will have the option of converting 33 1/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the August Note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (A) the Repayment Share Price, or (B) the conversion price then in effect.
The August Note is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and properties and substantially all of the assets and properties of our subsidiaries.
The August Warrants are exercisable to purchase up to 1,315,789 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time on or prior to August 25, 2026, and may be exercised on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the August Warrants are not then registered under the Securities Act. The August Warrants have the same exercise limitation as is included in the August Note.
On August 25, 2021, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the August Purchase Agreement, we entered into an amendment to the May Purchase Agreement to, among other matters, permit the transactions contemplated by the August Purchase Agreement, including the grant to Lind Global Fund of a pro rata security interest in the assets we pledged to secure May Note, and to amend the registration rights granted thereunder to coincide with the registration rights we granted under the August Purchase Agreement. In addition, on August 25, 2021, in connection with such transactions, we also amended the May Note to reduce the initial conversion price of such note to $3.00 per share and to accelerate the initial conversion date of such note to coincide with the initial conversion date of the August Note. The May Warrants also have been adjusted to a purchase price of $3.00 per share.
The August Note is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and properties and the assets and properties of our subsidiaries, subject only to the mortgage lien on our manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona and the liens securing approximately $1 million principal amount of outstanding indebtedness of one of our subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the May and August Notes, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue shares of our preferred stock, unless otherwise waived in writing by the holders of the Notes, we will be required to use the proceeds of such issuance to repay the Notes. If we issue any equity interests for aggregate proceeds of greater than $20,000,000, excluding offering costs or other expenses, we will be required to direct 20% of such proceeds from such issuance to repay the Notes.

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Warrants, which, if exercised in cash at the current exercise price with respect to all Warrants, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $9.4 million. The proceeds from such Warrant exercises, if any, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We cannot predict when or whether the Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that some or all of the Warrants may expire unexercised. For information about the Selling Stockholders, see “Selling Stockholders.”
The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders for brokerage or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in disposing of the shares of common stock offered hereby. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of September 20, 2021, 72,533,850 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding. In addition, as of such date, 11,691,593 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, 7,868,848 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase options, and 2,391,335 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt incurred in conjunction with the Fastback and Innovation Digital acquisitions.
Common Stock
Voting, Dividend and Other Rights. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to the shareholders for a vote. Holders of shares of common stock have no cumulative voting, pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. All shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this registration statement will be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. Our board of directors determines if and when distributions may be paid out of legally available funds to the holders. To date, we have not declared any dividends with respect to our common stock. Our declaration of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our board of directors’ determination as to whether, in light of our earnings, financial position, cash requirements and other relevant factors existing at the time, it appears advisable to do so. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.
9
Rights Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation, subject to the right of any holders of the preferred stock to receive preferential distributions, each outstanding share of common stock may participate pro rata in the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, all our known debts and liabilities.
Majority Voting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of the shareholders. A plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders elects our directors. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of our directors. In general, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders must authorize shareholder actions other than the election of directors. Most amendments to our articles of incorporation require the vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding voting shares.
Preferred Stock
Authority of Board of Directors to Create Series and Fix Rights. Under our articles of incorporation, as amended, our board of directors can issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized to fix by resolution as to any series the designation and number of shares of the series, the voting rights, the dividend rights, the redemption price, the amount payable upon liquidation or dissolution, the conversion rights, and any other designations, preferences or special rights or restrictions as may be permitted by law. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and the rules of law applicable thereto require such approval, our board of directors has the authority to issue these shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation, as Amended, and Our Bylaws
Provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer, if any, or the president or the board of directors.
Removal of Directors; Vacancies. Our bylaws provide that a director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote; provided, however, that notice of intention to act upon such matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting.
Amendment of Bylaws. The bylaws provide that the bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed at any meeting of the board of directors at which a quorum is present, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at such meeting.
Preferred Stock. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is ClearTrust, LLC. ClearTrust, LLC’s address is 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Suite 210, Lutz, FL 33558 and its telephone number is (813) 235-4490.

The table below sets forth, as of September 20, 2021, the following information regarding the Selling Stockholders:
● | the number of shares of common stock owned by the Selling Stockholders prior to this offering, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations contained in the Warrants; |
● | the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders in this offering; |
● | the number of shares of common stock to be owned by the Selling Stockholders assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus; and |
● | the percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock to be owned by the Selling Stockholders assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 20, 2021. |
Except as described above, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and includes, for such purpose, shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholders have the right to acquire within 60 days of September 20, 2021.
The shares of common stock that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders hereunder will be acquired by such Selling Stockholders upon the conversion or exercise by such Selling Stockholders of the Notes or Warrants that are held by such Selling Stockholders and that were previously issued in private transactions by our company. Descriptions of the private transactions in which we issued the Notes and the Warrants are set forth under the caption “Issuance of Securities to Selling Shareholders.” Except as otherwise indicated, we believe the Selling Shareholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of common stock.
All information with respect to the common stock ownership of the Selling Stockholders has been furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. We believe, based on information supplied by the Selling Stockholders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each Selling Stockholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of common stock reported as beneficially owned by it. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell some or all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and covered by this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares of common stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of this offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of common stock it beneficially owns in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set forth in the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that each Selling Stockholder will sell all of the shares of common stock owned beneficially by it that are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of common stock, if any, that it presently owns. No Selling Stockholder has held any position or office, or has otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our shares of common stock or other securities.

Entities affiliated with Lind(2) | 3,809,859 | 4.9% | 8,735,790 | - | - |
(1) | The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on September 20, 2021. On September 20, 2021, there were 72,533,850 shares of our common stock outstanding. To calculate a stockholder’s percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the numerator and denominator the common stock outstanding and all shares of our common stock issuable to that person in the event of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of September 20, 2021. |
(2) | Jeff Easton is the managing member of The Lind Partners, LLC, which is the manager of the Lind Global Asset Management IV, LLC and Lind Global Fund II LP (the “Lind Entities”), and has sole voting control and investment discretion over the securities held by the Lind Entities. Mr. Easton disclaims beneficial ownership over the securities listed except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. The principal business address of the Lind Entities is 444 Madison Ave, 41st Floor, New York, NY 10022. |
(3) | The number of shares beneficially owned is based on 3,135,789 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants plus 674,070 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the initial principal and interest payments on the Notes assuming the initial payment date for principal and interest on the Notes is October 1, 2021 and the conversion price per share on such date is $1.56, which is the conversion price for the payment of principal and interest assuming a calculation date of September 20, 2021. The actual number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the initial principal and interest payments on the Notes will be higher or lower depending on the actual initial payment date and the actual conversion price for such payments on such payment date. The beneficial ownership reflected in the table is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which does not permit the holders to convert or exercise any portion of the Notes or the Warrants, respectively, that would cause the holders to own, after conversion or exercise, as applicable, a number of shares of our common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The amounts and percentages in the table give effect to the beneficial ownership limitation. |

The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our common stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares of common stock:
● | 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 resales by the broker-dealer for its account; |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
● | privately negotiated transactions; |
● | to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; |
● | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
● | a combination of any of these methods of sale; and |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available for a Selling Stockholder, rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by a Selling Stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell common shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
13
The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the Selling Stockholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If any of the shares offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether the Selling Stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective at all times until the Selling Stockholders no longer own any Warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof. The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares of common stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
The validity of the shares of common stock and certain other matters of Nevada law will be passed upon for us by Flangas Law Group, Las Vegas, Nevada. Certain matters of U.S. federal and New York State law will be passed upon for us by Pryor Cashman LLP, New York, New York.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by NRS, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under such law.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers, directors and other corporate agents for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
We have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these capacities, or arising out of the person’s fulfilling one of these capacities, and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person against the claim under the provisions of the NRS. We do not currently maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our director and officers; however, we intends to so purchase and maintain such insurance when economically feasible.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(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 of 1933; |
(ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
(i) | 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 |
(ii) | 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 of 1933 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. |
(5) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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. |
(i) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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. |
