Preliminary Prospectus - Public Offering , 2013
SECURITY DEVICES INTERNATIONAL INC.
Up to 8,625,000 COMMON SHARES
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 8,625,000 common shares, USD$0.001 par value, (“Common Shares”) of Security Devices International Inc. (“SDI” or the “Corporation”) at a price of CDN$0.40 per Common Share. The offering of Common Shares is being conducted solely in Canada (the “Offering”) through a Canadian broker-dealer, Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. (the “Canadian Agent”). The Canadian Agent is acting as the underwriter (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for the Offering. The Canadian Agent has been engaged by us solely to conduct sales in Canada on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, will limit its selling activity to residents of Canada and will not undertake any selling efforts in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The Canadian Agent will conduct offers and sales of the Common Shares in Canada pursuant to a prospectus filed with securities commissions in Canada. While the purchase price of, and settlement amounts for, the Common Shares will be denominated in Canadian dollars, the par value of the Common Shares will remain denominated in U.S. dollars at all times. All sales of Common Shares in the Offering will be denominated in Canadian dollars. The Canadian Agent will offer in Canada up to 8,625,000 Common Shares, including the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and subject to a minimum offering requirement of 7,500,000 Common Shares (the “Minimum Offering Condition”). In the event the Minimum Offering Condition is not satisfied, or if the Offering is otherwise terminated, all funds collected by us or the Canadian Agent will be returned to investors within 10 business days without interest or deduction of fees. Neither we nor any investor shall receive interest regardless of how long subscriber funds might be held. The Offering may terminate on the earlier of: (i) 10 business days following the date which the Minimum Offering Condition is satisfied, or (ii) December 27, 2013.
We have granted to the Canadian Agent an option to acquire up to 15% of the Common Shares placed in Canada at the public offering price pursuant to an overallotment option exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the closing of the Offering for market stabilization purposes (the Over-Allotment Option).
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Link (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “SDEV”. On June 21, 2013, the closing bid price of the Corporation’s common stock was USD$0.40 per share. We have received conditional approval to list our Common Shares in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “SDZ”, and we anticipate that the Common Shares in Canada will be approved for listing on the TSX-V on or promptly after the closing of the Offering and that the Common Shares will be quoted on the TSX-V as well as the OTCQB on closing of the Offering. The Common Shares, once issued, may be resold through the OTCQB in addition to the TSX-V.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. The entire prospectus should be carefully read, particularly the Risk Factors section and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before deciding to invest in shares of Corporations common stock.
The Offering
The Corporation |
Security Devices International Inc. was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, USA on March 1, 2005. The Corporation is a defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of less-lethal ammunition solutions. See Description of the Business. | |
| ||
The Corporations registered office is located at 1101 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Evening Star Building, 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20004 USA, and the Corporations Canadian office is located at 338 Church Street, Oakville, Ontario L6J 1P1. The Corporations Certificate of Incorporation was amended on March 2, 2005 to alter the Corporations authorized capital to consist of 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a USD$0.001 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a USD$0.001 par value and was further amended on March 20, 2013 to increase the Corporations authorized capital to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a USD$0.001 par value. |
6
The Corporation does not have any subsidiaries. | ||
| ||
Liquidity |
The Corporation has not received any revenue to date and has a history of losses and an accumulated deficit of USD$19,765,794 as at February 28, 2013. We expect to incur further losses as we continue to develop our business, raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Corporation’s auditor’s report for the year ended November 30, 2012 includes an explanatory going concern paragraph. The Corporation currently requires approximately $79,000 per month for its operations. The Corporation had approximately $90,047 cash on hand as at May 31, 2013, which will support its operations through July. If the financing pursuant to this prospectus does not close prior to the end of July, the Corporation will need to seek alternative financing arrangements, which may include a bridge loan, however we caution that such financing arrangements may not be available to us. | |

Common Stock Outstanding |
33,273,913 basic, 41,689,849 fully diluted; the fully diluted amount includes 1,510,000 options to purchase Common Shares, 4,569,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Shares and 2,336,936 Common Shares issuable on conversion of convertible debentures. The convertible debentures will automatically convert to Common Shares upon listing of the Common Shares of the Corporation on the TSX-V. The listing of the Common Shares on the TSX-V is expected to occur on closing of the Offering. Assuming the maximum number of Common Shares under the Offering are sold in the Offering the number of shares outstanding upon completion of the Offering will be 44,235,849. | |

Up to 8,625,000 Common Shares (including the Over-Allotment Option representing up to 1,125,000 Common Shares) will be offered only in Canada by the Canadian Agent. A closing condition to the Offering requires the Canadian Agent to sell a minimum of 7,500,000 Common Shares. | |
| ||
The Offering may terminate on the earlier of: (i) 10 business days following the date which the Minimum Offering Condition, requiring a minimum offering in Canada of 7,500,000 Common Shares, is satisfied, or (ii) December 27, 2013. |
7
Escrow Conditions |
All funds from Subscribers in Canada will be held in escrow by the Canadian Agent, pursuant to an Agency Agreement between the Canadian Agent and the Corporation, in Canada in a non-interest bearing account pending satisfaction of the Minimum Offering Condition and the escrow conditions being met, and no such funds shall be released to the Corporation until such a time as the Minimum Offering Condition is satisfied. In the event the Minimum Offering Condition is not satisfied within 90 days of the filing of a final prospectus in Canada, which may be extended by an additional 90 days if an amendment to such final prospectus has been filed in Canada, or if the Offering is otherwise terminated, all funds collected by us or the Canadian Agent will be returned to investors within 10 business days without interest or deduction of fees. Neither we nor any investor shall receive interest regardless of how long subscriber funds might be held. See “Plan of Distribution”. |
|
Listing | Our common stock is quoted on OTCQB tier of the OTC Link (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “SDEV”. | |
It is anticipated that the Common Shares will be quoted on the TSX-V under the symbol “SDZ” and on the OTCQB on closing of the Offering. The Corporation has been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX-V subject to completion of the Offering. | ||
Form of Offering | The Offering is occurring solely in Canada as conducted through Macquarie Private Wealth Inc., the Canadian Agent. The Canadian Agent will conditionally offer up to 8,6250,000 Common Shares, assuming the Over Allotment Option is exercised, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Corporation and accepted by the Canadian Agent in accordance with the conditions contained in the Agency Agreement as defined herein under the heading “Plan of Distribution”. If the Canadian Agent does not satisfy the Minimum Offering Condition, requiring a minimum offering of 7,500,000 Common Shares in the Offering prior to December 27, 2013, the Offering will terminate. The Canadian Agent has been engaged by us solely to conduct sales in Canada, will limit its selling activity to residents of Canada and will not undertake any selling efforts in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The Canadian Agent will conduct offers and sales of the Common Shares in Canada pursuant to a prospectus filed with securities commissions in Canada. A condition to closing of the Offering is the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering the Common Shares. This is in order to permit the Common Shares to be issued in Canada without resale restrictions. |

Canadian Agent Fees |
The Corporation will pay the Canadian Agent a cash commission equal to 9.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and $35,000 as a corporate finance fee related to the services rendered by the Canadian Agent as part of the Offering in Canada. The Canadian Agent will also receive the Canadian Agent’s Option to acquire Common Shares equal to 9.0% of the Common Shares placed by the Canadian Agent in Canada at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price for a period of 24 months from the date of the Offering. | |
| ||
Use of Proceeds |
The gross proceeds of the Offering, assuming the maximum offering, is estimated to be $3,000,000 and will be $3,450,000 if the Over- Allotment Option is exercised in full (excluding the payment of expenses of the Offering, which are estimated to be $200,000). The net proceeds, after deducting the Canadian Agent’s Fee (but prior to the payment of expenses of the Offering, which are estimated to be $200,000) will be CDN$2,730,000 and CDN$3,139,500 if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full. | |
| ||
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Corporations development program, for sales and marketing costs, the costs of the Offering, repayment of the Working Capital Loans and ongoing working capital requirements. In the event that additional proceeds are raised from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, such proceeds will be used to fund the Corporations ongoing working capital requirements. See Use of Proceeds. | ||
| ||
Closing |
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about July 26, 2013 or such later date as the Corporation and the Canadian Agent may agree. | |
| ||
Risk Factors |
There are risks associated with an investment in our Common Shares. Investors should read the Risk Factors beginning on page 10 and this entire prospectus and consult their own professional advisors to assess the income tax, legal and other aspects of an investment in our Common Shares. See Risk Factors. |

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The securities offered hereby are considered speculative due to the nature of the Corporation's business and the present stage of its development. A prospective investor should consider carefully the following factors:
We may not successfully commercialize any of our products or earn a profit.
We have incurred losses since incorporation. As of February 28, 2013, we have an accumulated total deficit of $19,765,794. For the quarter ended February 28, 2013 we had net losses attributable to common stockholders of $469,648. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012, we had net losses attributable to common stockholders of $2,019,938. To date, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our products. We currently have not generated any revenue from operations and expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future to further develop and commercialize our products. We cannot predict the extent of these future net losses, or when we may attain profitability, if at all. If we are unable to generate significant revenue from our products or attain profitability, we will not be able to sustain operations.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing and commercializing our products, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable and you may never receive a return on an investment in our common stock. An investor in our common stock must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent in a developmental stage company. The Common Shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Corporations business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the Common Shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment, and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. We may never successfully commercialize our products, and our business may fail. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in Common Shares.
We need substantial additional capital to grow and fund our present and planned business and business strategy.
We anticipate expending substantial funds to carry out the development, introduction and manufacture of additional products. We have no source of operating cash flow to fund all of its operational needs and will require additional financing to continue its operations. As such, our current and planned operations contemplate funding in the future through one or more public or private equity financings, by taking on debt financing, or from other sources. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. If such funds are unavailable or are only available at a prohibitive cost, we may have to significantly curtail its product development program or seek funds through financing alternatives that may require us to sell its rights to certain products or certain marketing territories. Failure to meet funding milestones may have a significant adverse effect on our growth and we may have to curtail our business strategy. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the deployment of our products. If we receive less funding than planned, we will have to revise our business model and reduce proposed plans. Without significant funding, we will not be able to execute on our business operations and may be forced to cease operations. At this time, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain the funding we need and even if we obtain such funding that it will be on terms and conditions favorable to us and our existing shareholders. Without funding we will not be able to proceed with planned operations or meet existing obligations.
10
We did not have a meeting of our shareholders from inception until March 15, 2013.
We did not have an annual general meeting of the shareholders since it was formed on March 1, 2005. Our Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires it to have an annual general meeting of shareholders to elect directors. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, the failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders does not automatically invalidate all corporate actions. However, it is unclear if all such actions would be deemed valid if challenged in a court of law. We had an annual general meeting of our shareholders on March 15, 2013.
There is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Due to our recurring losses from operations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, meaning that we may not be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future or be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2012 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm included elsewhere in this prospectus contains an explanatory paragraph on our consolidated financial statements stating there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such an opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities or otherwise. There is no assurance that sufficient financing will be available when needed to allow us to continue as a going concern. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause others to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations.
Delaware law and our corporate charter and bylaws will contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. For example, our board of directors have the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the powers, preferences and rights of each series without stockholder approval. The ability to issue preferred stock could discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our company, or otherwise could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our bylaws require that any stockholder proposals or nominations for election to our board of directors must meet specific advance notice requirements and procedures, which make it more difficult for our stockholders to make proposals or director nominations.
Furthermore, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions may prohibit or restrict large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us. These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts and could reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in our market price being lower than it would without these provisions.
There can be no assurance that we can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained.
Revenue growth that we have achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, we may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund higher levels of research and development, increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Corporations business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
11
We are dependent on certain members of our management.
The loss of the services of one or more of them could adversely affect us. Our ability to maintain its competitive position is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, specialized technical, manufacturing, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to recruit and retain such personnel. Our inability to recruit and retain such personnel would adversely affect the our operations and product development.
We are dependent on key suppliers
We purchase certain key components of its products from a limited number of key suppliers. Failure of a supplier to provide sufficient quantities on favorable terms or on a timely basis could result in possible lost sales.
We may be subject to product or warranty claims that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may be subject to proceedings or claims that may arise in the ordinary conduct of the business, which could include product and service warranty claims, which could be substantial. If our products fail to perform as warranted and we fail to quickly resolve product quality or performance issues in a timely manner, sales may be lost and we may be forced to pay damages. Any failure to meet customer requirements could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The occurrence of product defects and the inability to correct errors could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our products, material warranty expense, diversion of technological and other resources from our product development efforts, and the loss of credibility with customers, manufacturers representatives, distributors, value added resellers, systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers and end-users, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We currently have general liability insurance, which includes product liability coverage. There is no assurance this insurance policy will cover all potential claims which may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Corporation. A product recall could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
We rely upon, and expect to rely upon, strategic alliances with original equipment manufacturers for the manufacturing and distribution of its products.
There can be no assurance that such strategic alliances can be achieved or that the Corporation will be able to maintain existing strategic alliances or that we will achieve our goals.
In order to commercialize its technology, we must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services.
In order to market any of our products, we must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of our management and key personnel, and defer our product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that we into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, our revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If we fail to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, we will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs, which may affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
12
The markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles.
Accordingly, our success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements.
There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the our products or which render the products currently sold by us obsolete or less marketable.
We must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, we may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts, and result in increased operating expenses. There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital to meet these demands.
Our industry is highly competitive and composed of many domestic and foreign companies.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience, substantial competition from numerous competitors with greater resources and whom we expect to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.
We are materially dependent on acceptance of our products by the law enforcement, both domestic and international, and federal markets. If law enforcement agencies choose not to purchase our products, our revenues will be adversely affected.
A substantial number of law enforcement and corrections agencies may not purchase our products. Law enforcement and corrections agencies may be influenced by claims or perceptions that WEPs and BIPs (each as hereinafter defined), such as our products, are unsafe or may be used in an abusive manner. Sales of our products to these agencies may also be delayed or limited by these claims or perceptions.
Most of our end-user customers are subject to budgetary and political constraints, particularly in the currently challenging economic environment, that may delay or prevent sales.
Most of our end-user customers are government agencies. These agencies often do not set their own budgets and therefore, have limited control over the amount of money they can spend. In addition, these agencies experience political pressure that may dictate the manner in which they spend money. As a result, even if an agency wants to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to budgetary or political constraints. Currently, many governmental agencies are continuing to experience severe budgetary constraints. There can be no assurance that the economic and budgeting issues will not worsen and adversely impact sales of our products. Some government agency orders may also be canceled or substantially delayed due to budgetary, political or other scheduling delays which frequently occur in connection with the acquisition of products by such agencies and such cancellations may accelerate or be more severe than we have experienced historically as a result of the current economic environment.
We may face personal injury, wrongful death and other liability claims that harm our reputation and adversely affect our sales and financial condition.
Our products can be used in aggressive confrontations that may result in serious, permanent bodily injury or death to those involved. Our products may be associated with these injuries. A person injured in a confrontation or otherwise in connection with the use of our products may bring legal action against us to recover damages on the basis of theories including personal injury, wrongful death, negligent design, defective product or inadequate warning. We are currently subject to a number of such lawsuits. We may also be subject to lawsuits involving allegations of misuse of our products. If successful, personal injury, misuse and other claims could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could result in negative publicity about our products. Although we carry product liability insurance, we do incur significant legal expenses within our self-insured retention in defending these lawsuits and significant litigation could also result in a diversion of managements attention and resources, negative publicity and a potential award of monetary damages in excess of our insurance coverage. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that our existing or any future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our revenues, our financial condition or financial results.
13
We face risks associated with rapid technological change and new competing products.
The technology associated with law enforcement devices is receiving significant attention and is rapidly evolving. While we have patent protection in key areas of our technology, it is possible that new technology may result in competing products that operate outside our patents and could present significant competition for our products.
We are subject to numerous and health and safety laws and regulations, which may require us to make substantial expenditures.
We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign health and safety legislation and measures relating to the manufacture of ammunition. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties with our efforts to comply with applicable regulations as they change in the future or that our continued compliance efforts (or failure to comply with applicable requirements) will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business, prospects and financial condition. Our continued compliance with present and changing future laws could restrict our ability to modify or expand our facilities or continue production and could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expense.
Health and safety and violations related to our products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against us or to regulation of certain of our product components. We may also incur substantial penalties, civil and criminal sanctions, permit revocations and facility shutdowns. We may be required to modify our technology and may not be able to do so. We may also be required to pay damages that may reduce our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition. Additionally, future and health and safety laws and regulations or reinterpretation of current laws and regulations may require us to make substantial expenditures. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect our ability to market our products. In turn, our costs to comply with, or any liabilities under, these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our patents and proprietary rights.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology through a combination of patents, licenses and other intellectual property arrangements, without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Although we consider certain of our product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. We have adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.
We currently have 3 patents relating to our business and 1 patent pending. We cannot assure you that these pending patents will be issued or that any of our patents will be held valid if challenged, that any pending patent applications will issue, or that other parties will not claim rights in or ownership of our patents and other proprietary rights. Moreover, patents issued to us may be circumvented or fail to provide adequate protection. Our competitors might independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Since patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed by others which, if issued as patents, could cover our products. We cannot be certain that others will not assert patent infringement claims or claims of misappropriation against us based on current or pending U.S. and/or foreign patents or trade secrets or that such claims will not be successful.
14
We also rely on trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. Although we protect our proprietary technology in part by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be discovered independently by our competitors. The failure to protect our intellectual property rights effectively or to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and ability to achieve sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness.
Our commercial success depends, in part, upon us not infringing intellectual property rights of others.
While we believe that our products and other intellectual property do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, our commercial success depends, in part, upon us not infringing intellectual property rights of others. A number of our competitors and other third parties have been issued or may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those utilized by us. Some of these patents may grant very broad protection to the owners of the patents. We have not undertaken a review to determine whether any existing third party patents or the issuance of any third party patents would require us to alter its technology, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. We may become subject to claims by third parties that its technology infringes their intellectual property rights due to the growth of products in its target markets, the overlap in functionality of those products and the prevalence of products. We may become subject to these claims either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to end-users, manufacturers representatives, distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers.
Litigation may be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. Some of our competitors have, or are affiliated with companies having, substantially greater resources than us and these competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for a longer period of time than us.
In addition, defending our company against these types of claims, regardless of their merits, could require us to incur substantial costs, divert the attention of key personnel and management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of our business. Parties making these types of claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block our ability to provide our services and could result in an award of substantial damages. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, we may need or be required to obtain one or more licenses from, as well as grant one or more licenses to, others. We cannot assure you that we could obtain necessary licenses from others at a reasonable cost or at all.
Regardless of their merit, any such claims could be time consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or stoppages, divert key personnel and managements attention and focus away from the business, subject us to significant liabilities and equitable remedies, including injunctions, require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements and require us to modify or stop using infringing technology Parties making these types of claims may be able to effectively block our ability to manufacture our products and could result in an award of substantial damages. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, we may be prohibited from developing or commercializing certain technologies and products unless it obtains a license from a third party or we may need or be required to grant one or more licenses to, others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such license on commercially favorable terms or at all. If we do not obtain such a license, we could be required to cease the sale of certain products.
15
We are subject to currency and foreign exchange fluctuations
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar may have a material effect on our results of operations. To date, we have not engaged in exchange rate-hedging activities. To the extent that we may seek to implement hedging techniques in the future with respect to its foreign currency transactions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such hedging activities.
Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against.
Recent events have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, events seemingly unrelated to us, or to its industry, may adversely affect its finances or operations in ways that are hard to predict or defend against. For example, credit contraction in financial markets may hurt our ability to access credit when it is needed or rapid changes in foreign exchange rates may adversely affect financial results. Finally, a reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may adversely affect businesses and industries that collectively constitute a significant portion of our customer base. As a result, these customers may need to reduce their purchases of our products, or there may be greater difficulty in receiving payment for the products that these customers purchase from us. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the regulatory environment.
Such occurrences could result in damage to equipment, personal injury or death, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although we maintain liability insurance in amounts which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or we may elect not to insure against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event we could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial position.
Certain of our directors and officers are or may become associated with other companies in the same or related industries which may give rise to conflicts of interest.
Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with us are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interest Our directors and officers have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, we will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers.
A company our Chief Financial Officer is involved with is subject to a cease and desist order for failure to file required financial information
On October 11, 2012, the British Columbian Securities Commission (the BCSC). ordered that all trading in the securities of Pacific Copper Corp. (Pacific Copper) cease until it files interim financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis for the interim period ended July 31, 2012, as required under applicable Canadian securities laws. As of the date of this prospectus, the cease trade order has not been revoked or rescinded. Rakesh Malhotra, our Chief Financial Officer, was at the time of the order by the BCSC and is as of the date of this prospectus the Chief Financial Officer of Pacific Copper. The financial statements have not been filed due to Pacific Coppers lack of funds. We do not believe that this has an implication on Mr. Malhotras performance as our Chief Financial Officer.
16
We do not expect to pay dividends.
We have not paid dividends in the past and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment in the future of any cash or stock dividends on the common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a variety of factors, including our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness, if any, and to pay dividends on securities ranking senior to the common stock, our future earnings, if any, capital requirements, financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors may consider to be relevant from time to time. Our earnings, if any, are expected to be retained for use in expanding our business.
Our common stock is subject to volatility.
There can be no assurance that the market price for our common stock will remain at its current level and a decrease in the market price could result in substantial losses for investors. The market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by one or more of the following factors:
There is a very limited trading market for our shares and no active trading market may develop or be sustained.
Prior to the closing of the Offering, there has been a limited public market for the shares on the OTCQB in the United States. Trading prices and volumes on the OTCQB are thin and erratic. The price paid for each Common Share under the Offering was determined by negotiation between us and the Canadian Agent taking into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the current market price of our common stock, trading prices of our common stock over time, the illiquidity and volatility of our common stock, our current financial condition and the prospects for our future cash flows and earnings, and market and economic conditions at the time of the offering; this price may bear no relation to the price at which our Common Shares will trade in the public market subsequent to the Offering. We cannot predict at what price our Common Shares will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our Common Shares will develop or be sustained.
Our common stock trades on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Link in the United States. As a result, there are additional risks associated with our common stock and you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our common stock quickly. The trading market for our shares is not always liquid. The market price of our shares has ranged from a high of $0.99 and a low of $0.10 during the twelve-month period ended March 1, 2013. The volume of shares traded at any one time can be limited, and, as a result, there may not be a liquid trading market for our shares.
There can be no assurance that an active market for our Common Shares will be sustained.
Securities of small and mid cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the attractiveness of certain industries. The price per Common Share is also likely to be affected by change in our financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly filings. Other factors unrelated to our performance that may have an effect on the price of our Common Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning our business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow our securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in our securities may affect a subscribers ability to trade significant numbers of Common Shares, the size of our public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in our securities; a substantial decline in the price of our Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause our securities to be delisted from an exchange, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for our Common Shares does not continue, the liquidity of a subscribers investment may be limited and the price of our Common Shares may decline. If such a market does not develop, investors may lose their entire investment in our Common Shares.
17
The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.
Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting the sale of our products.
This may affect our ability to ship product in the future. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, may also affect our operations. Local governments in all countries we deal with issue end user certificates to purchase or receive live ammunition from us. A change in policy may lead to a decision of these countries as to whether or not they will take possession or purchase such munitions. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our common stock is classified as a penny stock under SEC Rules and Regulations, which means broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than USD$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our shares are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of USD$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of USD$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding USD$200,000 or USD$300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our shares. We believe that the penny stock rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our shares.
18
Due to the substantial instability in our common stock price, you may not be able to sell your shares at a profit or at all, and as a result, any investment in our shares could be totally lost.
The public market for our common stock is very limited. As with the market for many other small companies, any market price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. Our common stock has very limited volume and as a penny stock, many brokers will not trade in our stock limiting our stocks liquidity. As such it may be difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock.
Future sales of our common stock by our existing stockholders may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock.
If a substantial number of our existing stockholders decide to sell shares of their common stock in the public market following the completion of this offering, the price at which our common stock trades could decline. Additionally, the public markets perception that such sales might occur may also depress the price of our common stock. Pursuant to Canadian securities requirements, our directors, officers and insiders (the Participants) will enter into escrow agreements pursuant to which their common shares will be held in escrow and will be released from escrow in equal blocks of 15% of such Participants common shares at six-month intervals over the 36 months following the closing of the Offering, with 10% of each Participants holdings being released concurrent with the closing of the Offering. The Participants hold a total of 4,377,300 Common Shares. Of the 49,661,936 shares outstanding upon the completion of this public offering, 29,382,238 shares will be freely tradeable without restriction.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to default on our debt obligations and forfeit our property interests or to reallocate funds from other planned uses. Either of these would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to acquire new property interests or fund our obligations for development of our current property interests. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution of the price you pay for your shares.
We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares. Our board of directors have the authority to cause an issuance of additional shares, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of the shareholders. Consequently, the shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of us in the future. We received shareholder approval, at an Annual General Meeting held on March 15, 2013, to increase our authorized number of Common Shares from 50,000,000 Common Shares to 100,000,000 Common Shares.
As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Common Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the our long-term value. Securities class-action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert managements attention and resources.
Our existing shareholders acquired their shares at a cost substantially less than that which you will pay for the shares you purchase in this Offering. Accordingly, any investment you make in these shares will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of those shares from the price you pay for them. As of February 28, 2013, our net negative tangible book value was (USD$816,809) or approximately (USD$0.02) per share based upon 33,273,913 common shares outstanding as of February 28,2013. After giving effect to the sale of common shares in the aggregate maximum amount of $3,450,000 being the sale of 8,625,000 common shares at $0.40 per common share and assuming that $2,939,500 of maximum net proceeds are realized from this offering and excluding the conversion of the existing convertible debentures into common shares, there would be an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of USD$0.07 per share to the existing shareholders and a dilution to new investors from the Offering price per share will be approximately (USD$0.35) per share.
19
In addition, we have several convertible debentures outstanding, that are convertible into our common shares. An equity financing may cause the convertible debentures to automatically convert into our common shares, resulting in substantial dilution to your investment.
We have significant indebtedness which may restrict our business and operations, adversely affect our cash flow and restrict our future access to sufficient funding to finance desired growth.
As of February 28, 2013, our total outstanding indebtedness was approximately USD$1,070,870, which includes the balance of all outstanding convertible debt and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. All debentures will fully convert upon the Corporation becoming a reporting issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange. We dedicate a substantial portion of our cash to pay interest and principal on our debt. If we are not able to service our debt, we would need to refinance all or part of that debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell securities, which we may not be able to do on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. An inability to service our debt will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Because our Common Shares are not registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), we are not subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 stockholders of record on the first day of a fiscal year.
Our Common Shares are not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our Common Shares thereunder for the foreseeable future. However, we will register our Common Shares thereunder, if after the last day of the our fiscal year, we have total assets of more than $10,000,000 and 2,000 record holders or 500 record holders who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. We are currently required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. However, we are not subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from stockholders without filing with the SEC and furnishing to them a proxy or information statement and, in the case of a proxy solicitation a form of proxy complying with the SECs rules. In addition, as long as our Common Shares are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding Common Shares and other equity securities are not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires these persons to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports providing information concerning their ownership of Common Shares and other equity securities. Such information will be available only through such periodic reports that we file and registration statements that we may file with the SEC. Furthermore, as long as our Common Shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has become effective), we have fewer than 300 stockholders of record. In this event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information with the SEC.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
Security Devices International Inc. was incorporated on March 1, 2005. We began as a research and development company focused on the development of 40mm less-lethal ammunition. 40mm refers to the diameter of the bullet (sometimes also referred to as a round or a projectile) and bullets of this size are required for standard issue military riot guns. 40mm bullets are also the emerging standard among riot guns used by police forces, although many police forces are currently using 37mm riot guns.
20
We began with development of a wireless electric projectile (a WEP), named the Lektrox. We hired Elad Engineering Ltd. (Elad), a ballistics-engineering firm located in Tel Aviv, Israel, to collaborate in the development of the WEP. The WEP uses mini-harpoons to fix the bullet to the target's clothing or body. The bullet contains an electrical system that releases a charge that imitates the electro-neural impulses used by the human body. The WEP sends out a control signal to the muscles, this high voltage low current pulse overrides the target's nervous system inducing a muscle spasm that causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. To reduce kinetic energy levels, the head of the WEP contains a cushioning mechanism composed of a collapsible material that enlarges the contact surface and absorbs part of the impact.
Commencing in December 2008, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) of the U.S. Department of Defense, an organization responsible for the development and coordination of non-lethal weapons activities within the United States, tested the WEP through its evaluation facility at Penn State University. The testing evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the electrical output compared to the Governments standard total body effects model. Testing was completed in November 2009 and a report was prepared by Penn State University and submitted to the JNLWD in January 2010. An executive summary was released to us indicating a positive outcome. Research and development continued on the WEP until mid-2010.
In June 2010, we began development of a 40mm blunt impact projectile (the BIP) which used the cushioning mechanism of the WEP but did not contain the electrical mechanism of the WEP. The BIP used the pain of impact to obtain compliance from the target.
In the fall of 2010, we underwent a change in the board of directors and management. Two new directors were appointed and the board of directors appointed a Chief Operating Officer. We contracted with Level 4 Capital Corp. to assist with our restructuring, contract negotiations and operational issues.
Early in 2011, we decided to focus its attention on the BIP and to place any further development of the WEP on hold. We concluded that the cost and time required to complete development and testing of the BIP were significantly less than that required to complete development and testing of the WEP. The BIP is also less expensive to produce than the WEP, and can be sold for a lower price. We plan to use revenue received from BIP sales to complete the development and production line for the WEP.
Initially, our WEP and BIP were designed, tested and assembled in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2011, we moved its engineering, intellectual property and production facilities from Tel Aviv, Israel to the operator of an injection molding facility outside of Boston, Massachusetts (the BIP Manufacturer). The Corporations products were moved to the US for costing and logistical reasons, such as; cost of manufacturing, language barriers, and time-zone differences. The BIP Manufacturer, Micron Products Inc., has a history of manufacturing 40mm components for the military sector, and provides molding services to the medical, aerospace, petrochemical, commercial, electronics, and defense industries, and as such was a suitable candidate to manufacture the BIP pursuant to our specifications and design.
We attended several military tradeshows through 2011 and signed a teaming agreement with Chemring Ordnance Inc. (Chemring), of Perry, Florida in December 2011. The agreement gives Chemring the non-exclusive right to market and sell the BIP worldwide for a five year term commencing on December 20, 2011. Chemring is responsible for its costs of marketing the BIPs and BIPs sold through this arrangement will bear the Chemring brand. The Corporation has retained the right to market the BIP directly to military, law enforcement and government agencies outside of Chemrings sales channels. See Material Contracts.
Research and development for the BIP was completed in 2012.
In June 2012, we contracted CRT Less Lethal Inc. (CRT) to test the BIP. CRT is a Seattle based company founded in 2003 with expertise in the analysis, evaluation and human effects testing of less-lethal munitions. The testing protocol included accuracy, precision, consistency, muzzle and target energy, impact energy density and effective range of the BIP.
21
Human volunteers were used during the test firing, revealing full effects to the lower body from the blunt trauma of the BIP. Extensive wound profiling from the tests were finalized in a detailed report from CRT. Based on data obtained from the three-stage evaluation, the BIP passed the CRT testing protocol for accuracy, consistency, relative safety and effectiveness. A third-party human effects evaluation is important to the Corporation to prove out the non-lethality of their BIP projectile.
In July 2012, we signed a five-year development, supply and manufacturing agreement with the BIP Manufacturer. An engineering team is available to us through the BIP Manufacturer for development of all of the core components of the BIP and any product changes that are necessary. See Material Contracts.
During 2012, we attended several law enforcement tradeshows and conducted live fire demonstrations with government agencies in Canada and the U.S. Live fire demonstrations allow the Corporation to demonstrate the short and long distance firing capabilities, accuracy and relative safety of the BIP.
In October 2012, we obtained an ammunition certification from Chemring which meant that the BIP satisfied the standards set by Chemring for products which it would distribute.
In November 2012, we obtained a United States Department of Transportation number (DOT#) required in order for the Corporation to ship BIP rounds.
We have begun the development of five new less-lethal ammunition rounds. These new rounds will be a modified version of the BIP, four of which will carry a payload (a marking liquid, a marking powder, pepper spray and a pungent odor) and the fifth of which is a lower cost practice round. SDI expects to complete development of these five new ammunition rounds by the second quarter of calendar 2013.
Products
Our business is the development, manufacture and sale of less-lethal ammunition. This ammunition is used by the military and police forces for crowd control.
We two products:
a) |
We have developed the BIP, a blunt impact projectile which uses pain to control a target. We are developing five versions of the standard BIP, four of which contain a payload and one of which is a cheaper cost practice round. A payload is an internal capsule inside the BIP, which holds a liquid or powder substance. | |
b) |
We have undertaken substantial work to develop the WEP, a wireless electric projective which releases an electrical pulse that induces a muscle spasm and causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. |
A. BIP
(i) Standard BIP
We completed the development of the BIP, a blunt impact projectile which uses pain to control a target. The BIP is available for sale. WE are using the BIP rounds in live fire demonstrations with military and law enforcement agencies.
22
The BIP is designed to be fired from a 40mm riot gun, which is the standard riot gun used by the military. Among police forces, there are both 40mm riot guns and 37mm riot guns but the 40mm riot gun is the emerging standard.
The BIP consists of a plastic casing which contains a smokeless powder as a propellant and a collapsible nose. The collapsible nose mushrooms upon impact to absorb some of the kinetic energy of the bullet and spread the impact of the nose over a larger area of the target. A round which increases in surface area on impact will cause less injury (as a result of a decrease in the depth of the energy dispersal) and more sensory nerves on the target will be stimulated (increasing the pain reception). The body of the BIP is designed to cushion the impact by using a guide expander system that disperses the energy of the round. The BIPs kinetic energy absorption mechanism allows the BIP to be fired from a riot gun with greater kinetic energy while meeting military standard requirements over a target range from 5 meters to 80 meters.
(ii) Payload Carrying BIPs
We are developing additional BIP rounds that are capable of carrying payloads. Each of the payload rounds is based on the standard BIP but, in addition, carries a payload which is released upon impact. The payload ammunition rounds are expected to be ready for market in the second quarter of 2013.
Each of these payload carrying BIPs has the same short and long distance capabilities as the standard BIP and each of them employs the same patented cushioning technology. The four payload carrying BIPs are as follows:
(iii) BIP Practice Rounds
The BIP PR is a practice round. The BIP PR was created to mimic the weight, flight and ballistics of the standard BIP and it is intended to be used as a simulation round for training purposes. The cost of the BIP PR will be approximately one-third of the standard BIP to end-users.
As a condition of selling BIPs to a military or police force, we will require that the customer become certified in the use of the BIP. We will train members of the military or police agencies who are our customers (the Customers Own Trainers). Upon completion of the training of Customers Own Trainers, the certification process will be completed with respect to that customer. The expectation is that the customer will use its Customers Own Trainers to teach the other members of its force how to properly use the BIP. Training in the use of non-lethal ammunition is important to the end-user to ensure proper distances and usage is followed. If proper distances are not followed, injury to the subject are possible.
The cost of receiving certification by the Corporation and the cost of training the members of its own force will be paid for by the customer. The BIP - PR allows a customer to receive certification of its Customers Own Trainers and to train its own members at a lower cost than would be the case using the standard BIP round during training.
23
B. Wireless Electric Projectile
The WEP is a wireless electronic projectile which releases an electrical pulse. The electrical pulse induces a muscle spasm and causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. Although substantial development work has been undertaken on the WEP, product development is not completed. We have determined that it cannot continue to fund the development of the WEP at this time. We intend to continue development of the WEP if it receives funding for that purpose or from revenues from the sale of BIPs. None of the proceeds of the Offering have been allocated to the further development of the WEP.
The WEP uses mini-harpoons to fix the bullet to the target's clothing or body. The bullet contains an electrical system which releases a charge that imitates the electro-neural impulses used by the human body. The WEP sends out a control signal to the muscles, in the form of a high voltage low current pulse, which overrides the target's nervous system inducing a muscle spasm that causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. The WEP continues to be the only wireless product of its kind, to the knowledge of our management.
The WEP has been designed for use with standard issue riot guns and M203 grenade launchers. This will allow military and law enforcement agencies to quickly deploy the WEP without lengthy training or significant functional adjustments to vehicles or personnel equipment.
The WEP is a third generation electric solution. First generation solutions were electric batons and hand-held stun guns, which had a range of arm's length. Second generation solutions were wired electric charge solutions, such as the TASER with a range of up to 35 feet (10.6 metres). Third generation solutions are wireless electric bullets. Currently, there is no third generation wireless electric bullet on the market in a 40mm caliber, ammunition round. The WEP is intended to be used at a range up to 164 feet (50m) from the target.
The WEP was tested by the US Joint-Non-Lethal-Weapons-Directorate, a directorate made up of all branches of the United States military. A successful outcome was achieved through the product testing process of the Corporations WEP round. Positive results were published in a report written by the JNLWD.
Early in 2011, we decided to place any further development of the WEP on hold while it focused its resources on completing development of the BIP. We plan to use revenue received from BIP sales to complete the development and production line for the WEP.
Less-Lethal Sector
Both military and law enforcement agencies are seeking alternatives to traditional lethal ammunition. From a military standpoint, the involvement of armed forces in populated areas has created a need for less-lethal ammunition. Police forces also require non-lethal ammunition for riot control and critical incident de-escalation, motivated in part by a desire to avoid expensive litigation.
Chemical irritants (such as tear gas) have been sporadically used by military and have been adopted by police forces around the world for use in riot control.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the military and police forces began to use kinetic energy impact projectiles. These projectiles included wood, rubber and bean-bag material as ammunition. Many of these projectiles are still being used by military and police forces around the world. There has been very little technology progression within this space over the last half a century.
The rubber bullet was developed by the Ministry of Defense for the British Army in Northern Ireland at the request of army officers who wanted a weapon for use in civil disturbances with a range beyond a stone-throwing distance. In managements opinion, rubber bullets are inaccurate and have unpredictable ricochets. In addition, management believes that they have caused numerous severe injuries and several deaths.
24
The Taser is an electronic control device (ECD) sold by Taser International and used by law enforcement agencies and the military. The Taser uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles causing neuromuscular incapacitation of subjects. It fires electrodes, which are connected to the firing gun by a wire. Their disadvantage is that they have a maximum range of 35 feet (10.6 meters) with wires attached to the firing gun/launcher, whereas the WEP is able to target 164 feet (50 meters) without any wires attached to the launching device. In Managements opinion, this gives the user of the WEP the freedom to aim and immobilize a subject at greater distances.
According to the 2011 Homeland Security Research Corp. (HSRC) study titled Non-Lethal Weapons: Technologies & Global Market, it is forecasted that the global non-lethal weapons market will grow in the period 2012 to 2015 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% (see the following graph). The study concludes that the growth rate will accelerate to 17% CAGR during the period 2016 to 2020 due to technology breakthroughs expected in 2014-2015.
Global NLW Market [$M] by Customer Sector - 2011-2020
The nature of a militarys role has changed significantly to the extent that the military becomes actively engaged in the policing of civilian populations. This is where the military in effect, intersects with local police forces to support and uphold national and regional law. Today, military units are involved in on-going conflicts that bring them into direct contact with civilian populations in Iraq, Afghanistan and various countries in the Middle East. Soldiers who are deployed in humanitarian roles are often subject to rules of engagement, which disallow the use of deadly force unless soldiers encounter a lethal threat. The military requires less-lethal deterrent ammunition for use in crowd and riot control, perimeter security and pilfering situations. In managements opinion, less-lethal ammunition means a greater opportunity to preserve life.
Police and military forces require easily applied options for riot control without the consequences of lethal force. In addition to the litigation, administrative and financial resources required to defend the use of lethal force, there is a moral consideration as well. Police and military forces must balance the risk of injury or death to their own personnel against the risk of injury to civilians, including bystanders. Riot control involves difficult and challenging decision that often must be made within seconds.
25
Both police and military personnel are demanding access to options that fall somewhere between physically charging into a crowd with batons and firing munitions designed to kill targets. If these personnel are equipped and trained with less-lethal munitions, they are better equipped to diffuse a riot and regain control. By providing soldiers and police with a midlevel force response, appropriate to the level of threat, the chance of an escalation can be reduced. In addition, if this less-lethal response can be employed at a standoff distance, the troops or officers can maintain a buffer zone between themselves and the crowd. The capability to target a specific individual, as opposed to spraying an entire crowd, reduces the risk of injury to innocent bystanders and political backlash.
Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, events such as the August 2011 UK riots, and the June 2012 Quebec student street violence have led governments, police and defense decision-makers to seek cost effective less-lethal weapons. These decision-makers understand that social media will limit the use of lethal weapons and a new generation of less-lethal weapons is required.
Competitive Conditions
Munitions manufacturers generally fall into three categories:
1. |
Multi-national manufacturers with resources to mass-produce products with a global distribution network; | |
2. |
Militaries (often in partnership with multi-national corporations); and | |
3. |
Small manufacturing companies. |
We fit into the third category. We are structured to design, develop and market new less-lethal munition technologies. The Corporation has signed manufacturing and distribution agreements with large U.S. entities to enter the less-lethal 40mm marketplace. Each stage of development requires in-depth testing, evaluation and fine-tuning to ensure the product will deliver peak performance under demanding conditions.
The competitive factors in the market for less-lethal ammunitions are cost, effectiveness, and ease of use.
There are manufacturers of less-lethal ammunition, which are larger and have greater resources, and there is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to compete with these competitors for high volume projectile orders.
BIP
We, and our BIP product, compete against other manufacturers of kinetic force ammunition, which use pain to obtain compliance from a target. The Corporation's primary kinetic force ammunition competitors include Defense-Technology U.S., AMTEC Less-Lethal Systems Inc., Combined Systems, Inc. and SAGE Control Ordnance, Inc. All of them are larger and have greater resources available to compete with the Corporation. They offer a range of munitions including bean bags, rubber balls, sponge head projectiles, rubber nose projectiles and batons.
We believe that the competitive advantage of the BIP over other kinetic force ammunition is that it can be used over both short and long distances with greater safety and accuracy than competing products.
Most less-lethal kinetic force ammunition on the market has a range of 20 meters to 50 meters. Over a shorter range, that ammunition risks injury to the target from the force of its impact. Over a longer range, the ammunitions accuracy degrades and the projectile can tumble, risking injury to bystanders, unintentional injury to the upper body and risk of injury if an un-cushioned portion of the projectile strikes the target.
26
The BIP has an effective range of 5 meters to 80 meters. Management believes that the cushioning mechanism built into the BIP allows the BIP to be used in close range. Management also believes that the aerodynamic characteristics of the BIP allow it to be used with greater accuracy over longer distances.
WEP
Development of the WEP is not completed and we have any further development of this munition on hold until funds are available. We plan on using revenue received from BIP sales to complete the development and production line for the WEP.
Upon commercialization of the WEP, we will compete with other electronic control devices which use an electrical pulse to induce a muscle spasm in the target and cause the target to fall to the ground helpless. Taser International, Inc. is the primary electronic control device competitor of the Corporation for the WEP round.
We believe that the primary advantage of the WEP over electronic control devices currently on the market is longer range over which the WEP can be used. The WEP incapacitates offenders from a distance as far as 50 meters. The Taser fires two electrodes which remain connected to the launcher by conductive wire and the maximum range of the Taser is 35 feet (10.6 meters).
Milestones and Objectives
Our primary objectives for the next 12 months include the following:
(a) |
We want to establish relationships with U.S. and Canadian distributors who will distribute the BIP to the law enforcement and correctional services sectors. | |
(b) |
We want to schedule (with the assistance of our military partner, Chemring Ordnance) live fire demonstration of our products to military groups and governments in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Baltics, and the Middle East, and to schedule live fire demonstrations to the law enforcement and correctional services sectors through direct sales efforts. | |
(c) |
We want to attend specific military and law enforcement tradeshows. | |
(d) |
We want to complete testing of our payload marking BIP rounds. |
Intellectual Property
Patents
We currently hold three United States patents and have applied for one other United States patent. These patents hold a twenty year term.
The following applications have been filed with the U.S. Patent Office:
(a) |
Less-lethal Projectile (Publication# US20080236435) Patented: This issued patent relates to our distinctive collapsible munition head technology that absorbs kinetic energy of the projectile upon impact. The collapsible head mushrooms, enlarging the impact area on the target and spreading the kinetic energy for over that larger area, decreasing the long-term damage to the targets body. This patent was issued in January 2011. Our collapsible head is used in both the BIP and the WEP. |
(b) |
Electronic Circuitry For Incapacitating a Living Target (Publication# US20100008012) Patented: This issued patent relates to the electronic circuitry incapacitation system which forms part of the WEP. The patent describes an electronic circuit which provides an electrical incapacitation current to a living target. |
27
(c) |

(d) |
Autonomous Operation of a Less-lethal Projectile (Publication# US20110001619) Pending: This pending patent describes a motion sensing system within the WEP. The sensor will monitor movement of the target and enable the electrical output until the target is subdued. The electrical pulse is programmed for an exact time-frame to specifications of the user. |
All rights to these patents have been assigned to the Corporation by the inventors.
Specialized Skill and Knowledge
The development of the BIP and WEP requires specialized engineering and ballistics expertise. The Corporation has entered into contractual arrangements with third parties to develop its product line.
Initially, our products were designed, tested and assembled by Elad in Tel Aviv, Israel. Ballistics and military experts were used building prototypes of the WEP and the BIP.
In 2011, we moved our engineering, intellectual property and production facilities from Tel Aviv, Israel to the BIP Manufacturer at its injection molding facility outside of Boston, Massachusetts. The BIP Manufacturer has a history of manufacturing 40mm components for the military sector, and provides molding services to the medical, aerospace, petrochemical, commercial, electronics, and defense industries. The BIP Manufacturer performs ongoing research and development for the BIP. See Material Contracts.
Government Regulations
Domestic and foreign regulations pertaining to less-lethal weapons are numerous and can be unclear and a number of countries prohibit devices similar to the BIP and/or the WEP. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be successfully able to sell the BIP into these jurisdictions. See Risk Factors.
In order to ship BIP ammunition domestically, or internationally, we need to hold specific transportation licensing. We applied for and received a Department Of Transport (DOT) number from the US Department of Transportation, Competent Authority for the United States, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Our DOT number is a domestic as well as international shipping identification number necessary to ship its products worldwide. Testing was completed through the New Mexico Tech testing facility, of Socorro, New Mexico, USA.
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts began in Israel in 2005 with the development of the WEP. Development of a working WEP prototype continued until 2010. During this time a working model of the WEP was created and tested.
In late 2010, a new management team was brought into the Corporation and the WEPs final development was halted. We began development work on the BIP based on work previously undertaken by us.
In 2011, all WEP and BIP intellectual property and assets were moved to the BIP Manufacturer outside Boston, MA.
We completed its development of the standard BIP in 2012. We are working on four payload carrying projectiles which use the BIP technology. The payloads will include a powder based marking agent, a semi-permanent liquid marking agent, a pepper spray liquid and a pungent (malodorant) liquid. We are also working on a practice round that emulates the BIPs weight, flight and ballistics and is intended to be used as a simulation round for training purposes.
28
Employees
We have seven consultants. We do not expect to have a significant number of employees in the coming year. The consultants include; Gregory Sullivan (CEO), Rakesh Malhotra (CFO), Level 4 Capital Corp., (the company through which Dean Thrasher, COO, provides services), Boaz Dor (VP Business Development), Lumina Global Partners Inc. (the company through which Allen Ezer, Executive VP, provides services), Dawn Stafrace (Marketing), and Teresa Foster (Office Manager). See Executive Compensation.

DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this Offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. As of February 28, 2013, the net negative tangible book value of our shares was (USD$816,809), or approximately (USD$0.02) per share, based upon 33,273,913 common shares outstanding. As of November 30, 2012, the net negative tangible book value of our shares was (USD$925,788), or approximately (USD$0.03) per share, based upon 31,472,433 common shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this Offering, but without taking into account any conversion of convertible debt after completion of this Offering, the net tangible book value of the shares to be outstanding, assuming the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, will be USD$2,122,691, or approximately USD$0.05 per share. Accordingly, the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing shareholders will be increased by USD$0.07 per share. Assuming the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the purchasers of shares in this Offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in net tangible book value per share from the offering price of (USD$0.35) per share.
Upon completion of the sale of the shares in this Offering assuming the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, but without taking into account any conversion of convertible debenture investors, will own approximately 21% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $3,450,000, or $0.40 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors, assuming the maximum number of shares being offered, and does not give any effect to the results of any operations subsequent to February 28, 2013 or the date of this prospectus:

Management Discussion and Analysis
This MD&A in respect of the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 includes information from, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited annual financial statements and related notes for SDI for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012.
Comparison of Year Ended November 30, 2012 to Year Ended November 30, 2011
i. Overview
We have no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in a development stage and perhaps thereafter. As of November 30, 2012, we had accumulated losses of $19,296,146 (November 30, 2011 - $17,276,208). Our ability to emerge from the development stage and conduct business operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
As described in greater detail below, the Corporations major financial endeavor over the years has been its effort to raise additional capital to pursue its development activities. We have continued to raise capital and are moving forward with our business model.
ii. Assets
Total assets as of November 30, 2012 includes cash of $232,471, deferred costs of $32,500, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $7,200 and plant and equipment for $145,048 net of amortization. Total assets as of November 30, 2011 includes cash of $114,835, deferred financing costs of $10,916, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $107,704 and plant and equipment for $18,414 net of amortization. Total assets increased from $251,869 on November 30, 2011 to $417,219 on November 30, 2012. This increase is the result of private placements of common stock for $649,750 and private placement convertible debentures for $910,000 in 2012 offset in part by expenses incurred in normal course of business.
iii. Revenues
We generated no revenue through operations during the years ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011.
iv. Net Loss
Our expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the category of Operating Expenses. The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administration Expense
General and administration expense represents professional, consulting, office and general and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the years covered by this report.
General and administration expense for the year ended November 30, 2012 was $2,056,996, as compared with $624,545 for the year ended November 30, 2011. General and administration expense increased by $1,432,451 in the current year, as compared to the prior year. The primary reasons for the increase in general and administrative costs are as follows:
During the year ended November 30, 2012, we expensed a total of $272,400 as management fees for payment to its three directors. During the year ended November 30, 2011, we expensed a total of $79,000 as Management fee for payment to its two directors.
During the year ended November 30, 2012, we expensed a total of $240,000 for services provided by Level 4 Capital Corp., a company in which the Chief Operating Officer has a 50% ownership interest. During the year ended November 30, 2011, we expensed $99,200 for services provided by Chief Operating officer of the company.
We expensed stock based compensation expense (included in general and administrative expenses) for issue of options and warrants for $929,365 during the year ended November 30, 2012 ($nil in 2011). Stock based compensation expense does not require the use of cash (non-cash expenses), associated with the issuance of options and warrants granted to our directors, officers and consultants.
34
Interest expenses increased by $87,222 in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to additional funding by convertible debentures which carry interest of 8% per annum. In addition, we had to increase its travel expenses by an additional $103,958 in 2012 as compared to 2011 primarily to move the business towards production.
(b) Research and Product Development costs
Research and Product Development costs include research costs incurred on our less-than-lethal defence technology and were paid to an outside company. Research and Product Development costs for the year ended November 30, 2011 was $195,949, as compared to recovery of ($215,143) for the year ended November 30, 2012.
Research and Product Development costs for the year ended November 30, 2011 were substantially lower than prior years since the development of our products was nearing completion. There were no research and product development costs incurred in 2012.
On November 30, 2009, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with its former research and development services contractor Elad Engineering Ltd. (Elad) to settle their liability. On March 13, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Elad to settle the accounts payable. Elad had previously performed services for the development of a less-than-lethal-electric-projectile and blunt impact projectile. At the date of the settlement agreement, we owed Elad $315,143.We agreed with Elad to irrevocably waive and release each other from any claim, demand or action in connection with services provided, upon payment of $100,000 by us to Elad no later than March 20, 2012. The $100,000 payment was made on March 20, 2012. We recorded the reduction of the payable in the amount of $215,143 as recovery of research and development product development cost. This was measured as the difference between the amount payable to Elad and the settlement amount.
v. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our cash flows and cash in hand:
Year ended | Year ended | |||||
November 30, | November 30, | |||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||
Cash | $ | 232,471 | $ | 114,835 | ||

Cash used in investing activities | $ | (147,219 | ) | $ | - | |
Cash provided by financing activities | $ | 1,559,750 | $ | 1,038,328 |
As of November 30, 2012, we had working capital of $121,803 as compared to working capital deficit of $471,538 as of November 30, 2011.

Our current working capital is based on funds that we borrowed. On January 30, 2013, we borrowed $200,000 on March 14, 2013, we borrowed an additional $100,000, on April 12, 2013 we borrowed an additional $200,000 and on May 14, 2013 we borrowed an additional $150,000 for general working capital purposes. The Working Capital Loans proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and the Working Capital Loans, together with interest at 6% per annum, accrued and calculated daily, plus $30,000 will be repaid on the earlier of July 30, 2013 or on demand. We are dependent on the proceeds of the Offering to maintain business operations. We currently require approximately $79,000 per month to continue operations which consists of approximately $45,000 of payments to our officers and directors pursuant to consulting and employments agreements. The balance of the monthly expenses consist of rent, travel, tradeshows and administrative costs. If we are not able to obtain sufficient funds to conduct operations in the Offering we will have to seek alternative financing arrangements which may include seeking additional loans from our officers, directors and significant shareholders, selling assets or selling additional securities. If we are unable to obtain additional or alternative financing on a timely basis and are unable to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows, we will be unable to meet our capital requirements and will be unable to continue as a going concern.

x. Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates; our future results of operations may be affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. The adoption of this update will not have an impact on our financial statements.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments in this standard require that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12), which indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or result of operation.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), to establish an optional two-step analysis for impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill. The standard is effective for financial statements of periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or result of operation.
39
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update) in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Comparison of Year Ended November 30, 2011 to Year Ended November 30, 2010
i. Overview
As of November 30, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $17,276,208 (November 30, 2010 - $16,374,650).
Assets
Total assets as of November 30, 2011, included cash of $114,835, deferred financing costs of $10,916, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $107,704 and plant and equipment for USD$18,414 net of amortization. Total assets as of November 30, 2010 included cash of $247,328, deferred financing costs of $nil, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $38,419 and plant and equipment for $29,200 net of amortization. Total assets decreased from $314,947 on November 30, 2010 to $251,869 on November 30, 2011. This decrease was the result of expenses incurred in the normal course business offset in part by private placements of common stock for $160,000 and private placement convertible debentures for USD$878,328 in 2011.
ii. Revenues
We generated no revenue from operations during the years ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010.
iii. Net Loss
Our expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the category of Operating Expenses. The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administration Expense
General and administration expense represents professional, consulting, office and general and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the years covered by this report.
General and administration expense for the year ended November 30, 2011 was $624,545, as compared with $1,365,284 for the year ended November 30, 2010. General and administration expense decreased by $740,739 in the current year, compared to the prior year. General and administration expense represented approximately 75% of the total operating expense for the year ended November 30, 2011, and 59% of the total Operating Expense for the year ended November 30, 2010. The primary reasons for the decline in general and administrative costs are as follows:
40
During the year ended November 30, 2010, we entered into a Consulting and Professional Services agreement with Level 4 Capital Corp. for a term of five months. The consultant was to provide various managerial, legal and investor relation services. We expensed $360,000 to general and administrative expense for this service during the year ended November 30, 2010 ($nil in 2011).
During the year ended November 30, 2010, we obtained the services of a consultant providing consulting, corporate strategy and Investor relations for a term of three months at $10,000 per month. We expensed $30,000 during the year ended November 30, 2010 ($nil in 2011).
We expensed stock based compensation expense (included in general and administrative expenses) for issue and modification of options and warrants for $289,670 during the year ended November 30, 2010 ($nil in 2011). Stock based compensation expense does not require the use of cash, associated with the issue or modification of the exercise price of certain options granted to our officers, directors and consultants.
(b) Research and Product Development costs
Research and Product Development costs include research costs incurred on our less-than-lethal defense technology and were paid to an outside company. Research and Product Development costs for the year ended November 30, 2011 was $195,949, as compared with $946,702 for the year ended November 30, 2010.
Research and Product Development costs for the year ended November 30, 2011 were substantially lower than year ended November 30, 2010 since the development of our products was nearing completion.

v. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010.
vi. Commitments
Effective January 1, 2011, we renewed a consulting agreement with one of our directors for a monthly remuneration of $3,000. The agreement expired December 31, 2011.
41
On November 30, 2009, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with its research and development service contractor ("the contractor"). This MOU covers various alternatives for us to settle the liability to the contractor in the amount of $658,932 as at November 30, 2009. Should we become insolvent, or is unable to continue operations, or is unable to pay the contractor pursuant to the MOU, then it will grant the contractor an exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, assignable, sub licensable, perpetual license to further develop and to market our electric bullet (WEP40) and blunt impact (BIP40) technology. We will negotiate a royalty in the event of granting such rights to the contractor. We terminated their MOU with the contractor during the quarter ended February 28, 2011 and is currently negotiating with the contractor for future services on as need basis.
We have commitments for leasing office premises in Oakville, Ontario, Canada to September 30, 2012 at a monthly rent (excluding proportionate realty and maintenance costs and taxes) of $2,500 per month.
We signed a consulting agreement with our COO for a period of six months commencing May 1, 2011. The officer will be paid $9,000 per month.
We issued a purchase order to an outside supplier for acquisition of injection molds for their BIP40 ammunition round for a total consideration of $123,675. We advanced $61,837 during the year ended November 30, 2011 and the balance is payable to the supplier as per following terms: 20% at half completion 20% upon sample submission and balance 10% on sample approval
vii. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On November 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2010-06. ASU 2010-06 updates FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. There was no material impact on our financial statements related to the adoption of this guidance.
Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The new guidance specifies that when comparative financial statements are presented, the revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The new guidance applies prospectively to us for business combinations which occur on or after November 1, 2011. The impact of these new provisions on our consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate in the future.
Fair Value: In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The new guidance also changes the working used to describe many requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and it clarifies the FASBs intent about the application of existing fair value measurements. The new guidance applies prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both cases, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. If presented in a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total of comprehensive income in that statement. If presented in the two-statement approach, the first statement which is the statement of net income, should present components of net income and total net income followed consecutively by a second statement which is the statement of other comprehensive income, that should present the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. Regardless of the method used, the entity if required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The new guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

viii. Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates; our future results of operations may be affected.
Comparison of Quarter Ended February 28, 2013 to Quarter Ended February 29, 2012
i. Overview
We have no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in a development stage and perhaps thereafter. As of February 28, 2013, we had accumulated losses of $19,765,794. Our ability to emerge from the development stage and conduct business operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
Results of Operations
Net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $469,648 ($0.01per share) as compared to $252,431 ($0.01per share) for the three month period ended February 29, 2012. The major variance in net loss for the three months in 2013 as compared with 2012 is attributable to the following:
(i) Increase in consulting expenses by $66,382 in 2013 as compared to 2012
(ii) Stock based compensation expense $38,183 in 2013 as compared to $213,440 in 2012

These warrants were issued at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and vest immediately with an expiry term of two years. The fair value of the warrants issued for the purpose of estimating the stock compensation was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at $38,183.

The major components of change for (iii) relate to:
On November 30, 2009, we entered into a MOU with Elad to settle their liability. On March 13, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Elad to settle the accounts payable. Elad had previously performed services for the development of a less-than-lethal-electric-projectile and blunt impact projectile. At the date of the settlement agreement, we owed Elad $315,143.We agreed with Elad to irrevocably waive and release each other from any claim, demand or action in connection with services provided, upon payment of $100,000 by us to Elad no later than March 20, 2012.

We recorded the reduction of the payable in the amount of $215,143 during the period ended February 29, 2012 as recovery of research and development product development cost. This was measured as the difference between the amount payable to Elad and the settlement amount.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information about the our executive compensation objectives and processes and discusses compensation decisions relating to its named executive officers.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers.
Compensation Objectives and Principles
We have no revenues from operations and often operate with limited financial resources. As a result, to ensure that funds are available to develop our business plan, our Board of Directors has to consider not only our financial situation at the time of the determination of executive compensation, but also our estimated financial condition in the future.
Since the preservation of cash is an important goal of the Corporation, an important element of the compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers is the granting of stock options and warrants, which do not require cash disbursement by the Corporation. The granting of stock options and warrants also helps to align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with our interests. The other two elements of the compensation we award to our Named Executive Officers are: (i) base cash consulting fees; and (ii) cash bonus payments for achievement of stated milestones or benchmarks. We do not provide our Named Executive Officers with perquisites or personal benefits that are not otherwise available to all employees.
Compensation Processes and Goals
The deliberations with respect to compensation are conducted in a special session of our board of directors from which management is absent. These deliberations are intended to advance the key objectives of the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers. At the request of our Board of Directors, our Named Executive Officers may, from time to time, provide advice to our Board of Directors with respect to the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers.
We rely on our Board of Directors, through discussion without any formal objectives, targets, criteria or analysis, in determining the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Our Board of Directors is responsible for determining all forms of compensation, including the provision of long-term incentives through the granting of stock options to our Named Executive Officers, and to others, including, without limitation, to our directors to ensure such arrangements reflect the responsibilities and risks associated with each such officers position. Our Board of Directors incorporates the following goals when it makes its compensation decisions with respect to our Named Executive Officers: (i) the recruiting and retaining of executives who are critical both to our success and to the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) the provision of fair and competitive compensation; (iii) the balancing of the interests of management with the interests of our shareholders; (iv) the rewarding of performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to our operations as a whole; and (v) the preservation of available financial resources.

These options/warrants have been valued using Black-Scholes methodology. The following assumptions were made for purposes of calculating the value of options/warrants based awards: an expected option term of 4 years to exercise for 2012 awards and 5 years to exercise for 2010 awards; a projected dividend of zero; projected stock price volatility of 206.87% for 2012 awards and 189.42% for 2010 awards; and a risk-free interest rate of 2% for 2012 awards and 3.25% for 2010 awards. The actual value realized, if any, on option/warrant exercises will be dependent on overall market conditions and the future performance of the Corporation and its Common Shares. |

Compensation of Directors
The compensation of our independent directors is yet to be determined. Non-independent directors are not entitled to receive directors fees. All directors are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending directors and shareholders meetings and meetings of Board committees. All of our directors benefit from our directors and officers liability insurance.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES DISTRIBUTED
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares. In addition to common shares, we are also authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 33,273,913 outstanding common shares.
54
Common Stock
Holders of our common shares are each entitled to cast one vote for each common share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a companys certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares can elect all directors. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, action requiring stockholder approval may be taken by a vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. See Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.
We received shareholder approval, at an Annual General Meeting held on March 15, 2013, to increase our authorized capital from 50,000,000 Common Shares to 100,000,000 Common Shares.
Holders of our Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of SDI's assets after payment of liabilities. The Board of Directors is not obligated to declare a dividend and it is not anticipated that dividends will ever be paid.
Holders of our Common Shares do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by us. There is no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the Common Shares. All of our outstanding Common Shares are fully paid and non-assessable and all of our Common Shares offered by this prospectus will be, upon issuance, fully paid and non-assessable.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
The Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws contain provisions that may have some anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his, her or its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (Section 203). Subject to specific exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless:
the business combination, or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, is approved by our board of directors prior to the time the interested stockholder attained that status;
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
at or after the time a stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Business combinations include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to various exceptions, in general, an interested stockholder is a stockholder who, together with his, her or its affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the shares of our outstanding voting stock. These restrictions could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to us and, therefore, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
55
Preferred Stock
In addition to the common shares, we are also authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by our Board of Directors. The voting powers and preferences, the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series will be established by the board of directors. Our directors may issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common shares.
Although our board of directors has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could issue a series of our preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, be used to implement a stockholder rights plan or otherwise impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt of our Corporation. The issuance of preferred stock may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally. Our board of directors could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the market price. This may have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not issued any shares of preferred stock.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary duties as directors. Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors (i) for any breach of such directors duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions that are not in good faith or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware , or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.
In addition, our by-laws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuits against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 1,510,000 stock options outstanding, 4,569,000 common share purchase warrants, and debentures convertible into 2,336,936 common shares. On September 19, 2012 the board of directors approved the cancellation of all of the 905,000 options issued on January 4, 2012 and to issue 905,000 warrants on terms identical to the terms of the existing stock options, subject to acceptance by the option holders. Effective October 8, 2012, the board of directors on receiving acceptance from the option holders, approved the cancellation of all of the 905,000 options and issued 905,000 warrants at same exercise price and expiry terms. On October 3, 2012, we approved the issuance of 75,000 warrants to a consultant at an exercise price of $0.42 per share. The warrants expire on October 2, 2015. On October 3, 2012, we also issued a total of 200,000 options to two consultants at an exercise price of $0.42 per share. These options expire on October 2, 2015. On October 26, 2012, we issued 1,100,000 options to two new directors of the Corporation at an exercise price of $0.45 that expire on October 25, 2016. See Options to Purchase Securities.

DIRECTOR AND MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTIONS
We have adopted stock option and stock bonus plans. A summary description of these plans follows. In some cases these Plans are collectively referred to as the Plans.
Incentive Stock Option Plan. Our Incentive Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of our Common Shares to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to this plan. Only employees may be granted options pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The option exercise price is determined by our directors but cannot be less than the market price of our Common Shares on the date the option is granted. We have reserved 1,000,000 Common Shares under this plan. No options have been granted under this plan as at the date of this prospectus.
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. Our Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of our Common Shares to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to this plan. Our Board of Directors administers this plan. Our employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options pursuant to this Plan, provided however that bona fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
59
In no instance shall an option be less than the par value of our Common Stock, the period during which options may be exercised cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant. No option shall be transferable or assignable. If there is any reclassification, consolidation or merger, the number of Common Shares subject to option and the option price per Common Share shall be proportionately adjusted by our Board. Our Board may attach other terms to the options at the time of grant. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
By a resolution of the Board of Directors, we amended this plan to increase the number of our Common Shares available under this plan from 2,250,000 to 4,500,000 effective October 10, 2007. The Corporation further amended its Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan to increase the number of our Common Shares available under this plan to 5,000,000 and filed an S-8 registration statement on June 24, 2008. As at the date of this prospectus there were 1,510,000 options outstanding under the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.

Stock Bonus Plan. Our Stock Bonus Plan allows for the issuance of our Common Shares to our employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors. However bona fide services must be rendered by the consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. We have reserved 150,000 of our Common Shares under this plan. No options have been granted under this plan as at the date of this prospectus.

In the event of a reorganization, consolidation, merger, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets, we have the option to redeem the debenture at (i) USD$1,250 per USD$1,000 of principal sum, if occurring on or before the first anniversary of issuance; (ii) USD$1,125 per USD$1,000 of principal sum if occurring after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary of issuance; and (iii) USD$1,050 per USD$1,000 of principal sum if occurring after the second anniversary of issuance and prior to the end of the term.
2013 Working Capital Loan
On January 30, 2013, March 14, 2013, April 12, 2013 and May 14, 2013, we borrowed $200,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $150,000 respectively for general working capital purposes (together, the “Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and the Working Capital Loans, together with interest at 6% per annum for a minimum of 6 months interest, will be repaid on the earlier of July 30, 2013 and the closing of the Offering. At the lender’s option, each lender may convert their Working Capital Loans into our Common Shares by providing us with notice.

Teaming Agreement with Chemring Ordnance Inc. (Subsidiary of Chemring Group PLC CHG.L)
We entered into an agreement (the Teaming Agreement) dated November 30, 2011 with Chemring Ordnance, Inc. (Chemring) pursuant to which they agreed to establish a co-operative and supportive team to develop the best marketing, management and technical approach for the worldwide manufacture and sale of 40mm less that blunt trauma ammunition. The Teaming Agreement notes that we have a significant investment in the design and development of its 40mm Less Lethal Blunt Trauma Cartridge and Chemring has expertise in the development of low and high velocity ammunition. The Teaming Agreement provides for the Corporation and Chemring to create a team for the purpose of preparing competitive, cost effective proposals in response to requests for proposals and obtaining and performing any contracts that result therefrom.
Pursuant to the Teaming Agreement, if a contract is awarded, each of the Corporation and Chemring will perform the work to be done by it as specified in the Teaming Agreement and will share the revenue as set out in the Teaming Agreement. The one of them that initiated the proposal that led to the contract will be the prime contact for that customer, a customer being the United States and United States Government approved international military agencies and/or approved representatives, which includes any other military technology Corporation, distributor and manufacturer outside of North America. Each of them is to provide appropriately trained and experienced personnel, equipment, facilities and other resources reasonably required to perform its share of the work in a professional and competitive manner.
Each of the Corporation and Chemring is to prepare all proposals, bids and other submissions required or requested by a customer. The party making the proposal shall make the final determination regarding the form and content of the proposal so long as (i) the price for the other partys share shall not be reduced from the amount the other party proposed for its work without such other partys consent; (ii) no proposal contains any confidential or proprietary information of the other party unless the other partys requirements concerning the protection of its information are met; (iii) there are no claims made in the proposal about the BIP that have not been agreed by the Corporation and Chemring; and (iv) no proposal requires production in volumes which exceed the capacity of each of the parties as agreed from time to time by them.
Upon a contract being awarded to either ourselves or Chemring, either party will subcontract with the other for the others share of the work. However, no contract shall allow for the manufacture or sale of BIP ammunition without our participation as provided in the Teaming Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing by us.
With respect to the subcontracts of the parties with each other, the Teaming Agreement provides that each of them is to provide information in a timely manner, respond to solicitations for the other party in a timely manner, participate in negotiations and other communications with the other partys customer and co-operate as reasonably requested by the other to facilitate successful completion and performance of contracts.
In accordance with the Teaming Agreement, the BIP ammunition sold will have Chemrings branding unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
In accordance with the Teaming Agreement, inventions made by one party (or its employees, consultants or contractors) will belong to that party who may patent it. If the invention was made jointly by the parties, if one of the parties doesnt participate in obtaining patent protection the other party may patent the invention as its own. Each party gives the other an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free license to make, have made, manufacture, use and sell inventions solely or jointly with the other only to the extent necessary to perform a contract. Otherwise, neither party is obligated to grant any license under any patent, copyright or invention owned by it.
The Teaming Agreement will terminate on December 20, 2016. The Teaming Agreement may also expire if a lapsed time period of two years from the effective date of the agreement passes without a bona fide arms length contract being executed and delivered of BIP ammunition. It will also terminate if either party is in material breach of the Agreement or a subcontract that hasnt been resolved, if any required governmental licenses or approvals or permits are revoked, in the event of a debarment or suspension of a party at the option of the other party, and by the mutual written agreement of the parties.
69
Neither party may assign its interest in the Teaming Agreement without the prior written consent of the other. However, a party may assign to a successor by merger or consolidation or the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the party relating to the subject matter of the Teaming Agreement so long as the transaction doesnt invalidate any facility or clearances necessary to perform contracts and the successor assumes the obligations and liabilities of the assigning party.
Representatives of the parties are to try to settle any disputes between the parties. If the representatives dont settle the dispute in 30 days, the dispute is to be referred to the parties presidents and if the presidents cant settle the dispute in 30 days, the dispute is to be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the State of Florida. The parties will share equally the costs of the arbitration unless the arbitrators determine otherwise.
The Teaming Agreement provides that neither party is to give information or publicity regarding the contract or any program or subcontract without the prior written approval of the other, not to be unreasonably withheld. It also provides for each party to keep confidential all confidential information it gets from other, until five years after termination of the Teaming Agreement.
Development, Supply and Manufacturing Agreement
We entered into a Development, Supply and Manufacturing Agreement with the BIP Manufacturer on July 25, 2012. This Agreement provides for the Corporation to order and purchase only from the BIP Manufacturer certain 40MM assemblies and components for use by the Corporation to produce less-lethal and training projectiles as described in the Agreement. The Agreement is for a term of five years with an automatic extension for an additional year if neither party has given written notice of termination prior to the end of the five-year.
Both during the term of the Agreement and thereafter, the BIP Manufacturer is not to supply the product or any prototype or any product specs to any third party whatsoever. We are not to manufacture the product by itself and shall not request the production of the product by anyone other than the BIP Manufacturer during the term of the Agreement. During the term of the Agreement the BIP Manufacturer is to be the exclusive manufacturer of the product (or any improved version of it) for the Corporation.
In accordance with the Agreement the BIP Manufacturer is to be responsible for establishing and maintaining necessary quality systems, manufacturing capacity and tooling necessary to meeting the Corporations product requirements. The Corporation is to place written orders and the BIP Manufacturer is to confirm them within two working days in writing. So long as the BIP Manufacturer has 10 business days lead time, it will deliver product as requested by the Corporation. Method and route of shipment are at the Corporations discretion and at the Corporations risk.
The Agreement provides that pricing is to be subject to fluctuations in market prices of raw materials and energy costs and the BIP Manufacturer is to give the Corporation 90 days written notice of any market price fluctuations or changes. Payment is due within 30 days from the date of invoice. If there is default in payment the BIP Manufacturer may charge interest of 1% per month. We are also to pay all of the BIP Manufacturers costs of collection. The BIP Manufacturer may discontinue shipment and require payment in advance if the BIP Manufacturer believes our financial condition or actions indicate that payment for goods ordered may not be received.
We are to provide the BIP Manufacturer, on a quarterly basis, with non-binding confidential, good faith forecasts of purchases for the next twelve-month period. The BIP Manufacturer is to use them at its own risk. We are also to provide proposed written forecasts of purchases during the following three months.
70
The BIP Manufacturer is to provide us with quality control test results, to maintain records to demonstrate conformance to our requirements. Records will be active files for at least five years and will be made available to us on 14 days notice in writing.
In the Agreement, the BIP Manufacturer warrants that the products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The BIP Manufacturers obligations are limited to replacement of defective products or, at the BIP Manufacturers option, reimbursements of the original purchase price. Claims are to be made in writing and delivered within 120 days of receipt of the products. The maximum liability to the BIP Manufacturer is limited to the purchase price for the products in question. In the Agreement, we agree to indemnify the BIP Manufacturer against (a) third party claims, (b) from recall, inspection, testing, replacement or correction of the products, (c) from violations of the law resulting from or incident to the sale and/or delivery of the products to the Corporation, (d) from actual or alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of a third party resulting from or incident to the sale and/or delivery of the products to the Corporation, and costs of defense, legal fees and/or testing costs.
We may terminate the Agreement if the BIP Manufacturer fails to perform and doesnt cure the default within 60 days of written notice. The BIP Manufacturer may terminate the Agreement if we fail to make payments when required and then fails to pay the delinquent amounts within 60 days of notice from the BIP Manufacturer. Further, the Agreement can be terminated by either party on 90 days notice to the other if the other is in material default of any material obligation and the default continues for more than 60 business days after receipt of notice in writing of the default or if the other becomes insolvent or bankrupt.
The Agreement provides that we will own all proprietary rights to the product including schematics, and engineering drawings respecting the product made or produced by the BIP Manufacturer during the course of performing design, engineering, fabrication or manufacturing services under the Agreement, or made or produced as the result of the joint efforts of the BIP Manufacturer and the Corporation under the Agreement; and for the BIP Manufacturer to own all of its technology and manufacturing processes used in the manufacture and assembly of the products which it may use on other products so long as such products dont embody or use any of the Corporations confidential information or products.
There is a change of control provision in the Agreement. If there is a change of control of the Corporation and the successor desires to be released from the Agreement, then the Corporation or the successor may terminate the Agreement and pay only for the balance of any Non-Recurring Engineering NRE (if any) and the purchasing cost for any outstanding purchase orders. A change of control is defined as the Corporation being acquired or merging with another organization, whereby, directly or indirectly, control in excess of 50% of the Corporation or all or substantially all of its business or assets is acquired by a third party in a sale or exchange of stock, merger or consolidation, sale of assets or other similar transaction.
Pursuant to the Agreement, any public statement regarding the other party is to be approved by the other party in advance but this requirement will not prevent a party from issuing press releases and making public filings where required to do so by law.
Neither party may assign its rights under the Agreement without the consent of the other party except to an affiliate or a third party that acquires all or substantially all of the partys business.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering up to 8,625,000 Common Shares in the Offering. The Offering will be conducted solely in Canada and will be terminated if the Canadian Agent fails to meet the Minimum Offering Condition. We have granted the Canadian Agent the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable, in whole or in part, for a period of up to 30 days after closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 Common Shares at a price of CDN$0.40 per Common Share, to cover any over-allotments. The Canadian Agent is acting as the underwriter (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for the Offering. The Canadian Agent has been engaged by us solely to conduct sales in Canada on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, will limit its selling activity to residents of Canada and will not undertake any selling efforts in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).
71
In determining the offering price of the Common Shares, we negotiated with the Canadian Agent and considered, along with the Canadian Agent, a number of factors including, but not limited to, the current market price of our common stock, trading prices of our common stock over time, the illiquidity and volatility of our common stock, our current financial condition and the prospects for our future cash flows and earnings, and market and economic conditions at the time of the offering.
Under an agreement dated as of • (the "Agency Agreement") among ourselves and the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Agent has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to offer only in Canada, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, subject to prior sale, a minimum of 7,500,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.40 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000. In connection with the Offering, we have agreed to pay the Canadian Agent a cash commission equal to 9.0% of the gross proceeds of the Common Shares sold in Canada, and $35,000 as a corporate finance fee related to the services rendered by the Canadian Agent as part of the Offering in Canada. All fees payable to the Canadian Agent will be paid from the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Canadian Agent will also receive the Canadian Agent’s Option to acquire Common Shares equal to 9.0% of the Common Shares placed by the Canadian Agent in Canada at an exercise price of CDN$0.40 for a period of 24 months from the date of the Offering. The maximum net proceeds that we may receive from the Offering, after deducting expenses, estimated to be CDN$200,000, will be CDN$2,530,000. The obligations of the Canadian Agent under the Agency Agreement may be terminated at its discretion upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Agency Agreement.
The Agency Agreement provides that it is a condition of Closing that (i) the Common Shares be listed for trading on the TSX-V, (ii) we have caused a registration statement on Form S-1 to become effective covering the Common Shares issuable in the Offering, and (iii) a minimum of 7,5000,000 Common Shares have been sold in Canada.
The proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares in Canada will be payable to the Canadian Agent and will be deposited in a non-interest bearing bank account and held in escrow by the Canadian Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement. The Corporation and the Canadian Agent will not be entering into a separate escrow agreement. Neither the Corporation nor any investor shall receive interest no matter how long subscriber funds might be held. All funds will be held in the escrow account pending satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Agency Agreement and no funds shall be released to us until such a time as the escrow conditions are met. If the Minimum Offering Condition is not satisfied on or before December 27, 2013, all funds will be returned to investors within 10 business days without interest or deduction of fees.
We have granted the Canadian Agent the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable, in whole or in part, for a period of up to 30 days after Closing, to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.40 per Common Share, to cover any over-allotments. The Canadian Agent will receive the Canadian Agent’s Fee of 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds realized from the placement of any Common Shares in Canada issued on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total Offering (assuming the maximum offering), the Canadian Agent’s Fee and the net proceeds to us (before payment of the expenses of the Offering estimated to be $200,000) will be CDN$3,450,000, CDN$310,500 and CDN$2,939,500, respectively.
We have agreed to indemnify the Canadian Agent and its affiliates and directors, officers, employees and agents against certain liabilities. We have agreed that, subject to certain stated exceptions set forth in the Agency Agreement, we will not, without the prior consent of the Canadian Agent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, authorize, issue or sell any of our Common Shares or any securities giving the right to acquire our Common Shares, or agree or announce any intention to do so, at any time prior to the expiry of 140 days following the closing of the Offering. If subscriptions for the total offering in Canada are not received on or before December 27, 2013, distribution shall cease on such date.
72
We have been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX-V subject to completion of the Offering.
It is expected that the Closing Date will occur on or about July 26, 2013 or such other date as we may agree with the Canadian Agent.
AUDITOR AND REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT

The registrar and transfer agent for our Common Shares is Transhare Corporation, 5105 DTC Parkway, Suite 325, Greenwood Village, CO 80111.
73
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
To the best of our knowledge, there are no existing or potential conflicts of interest among our promoters, directors, officers or other members of our management. However, certain of the directors, officers, promoters and other members of management may serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies or provide professional services to other companies whose interest may be contrary to ours. It is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies and their duties as a director, officer, promoter or management of us.
Our directors and officers are aware of their fiduciary duty and the existence of laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity. We require that directors and officers disclose conflicts of interest and we rely upon the corporate laws in respect of any such duty to disclose or in respect of any breaches of their fiduciary duty to us.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS
This summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares acquired by Non-U.S. Holders (defined below) pursuant to this Offering.
This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular holder. This summary does not address tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction or other U.S. federal tax considerations (e.g., estate or gift tax) other than those pertaining to the income tax. Each holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences related to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.
No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary.
The information provided below is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings, and judicial decisions currently in effect. These authorities may change at any time, possibly retroactively, or the IRS, might interpret the existing authorities differently. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis. Accordingly, the tax considerations of owning or disposing of Common Shares could differ from those described below.
PERSONS CONSIDERING ACQUIRING COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, FRANCHISE, PERSONAL PROPERTY, ESTATE, GIFT, TRANSFER AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES (INCLUDING ANY ASSOCIATED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS) OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF ANY TREATIES ON THE FOREGOING OR OTHERWISE.
For purposes of this summary, a Non-U.S. Holder is any holder of Common Shares, other than a partnership, that is not:
74
If you are an individual, you may, in many cases, be deemed to be a resident alien, as opposed to a nonresident alien, by virtue of being present in the U.S. for at least 31 days in the calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the current calendar year. For these purposes, all the days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year are counted. Resident aliens are subject to U.S. federal income tax as if they were U.S. citizens. Such an individual is urged to consult his or her own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of Common Shares. If a partnership or other pass-through entity is a beneficial owner of Common Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership or an owner of the entity will depend upon the status of the partner or other owner and the activities of the partnership or other entity. Any partner in a partnership or owner of a pass-through entity holding Common Shares should consult its own tax advisors.
This discussion assumes that a Non-U.S. Holder will hold Common Shares as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). The summary generally does not address tax considerations that may be relevant to particular investors because of their specific circumstances, or because they are subject to special rules, including, without limitation, if the investor is a former citizen or long-term resident of the U.S., controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company, corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, real estate investment trust, regulated investment company, dealer or trader in securities or currencies, financial institution, tax-exempt entity, insurance company, person holding Common Shares as part of a hedging, integrated, synthetic security, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, person liable for the alternative minimum tax, person who acquired Common Shares as compensation for services, or partner in a partnership or beneficial owner of a pass-through entity that holds Common Shares. Finally, the summary does not describe the effects of any applicable non-U.S., state or local laws, or, except to the extent discussed below, the effects of any applicable gift or estate tax laws.
Dividends
The Corporation does not expect to declare or pay any dividends on Common Shares in the foreseeable future. If the Corporation pays dividends on Common Shares, however, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Corporations current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of the Corporations current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, a Non-U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Common Shares. See Sale of Common Stock below.
Any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder on Common Shares will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate. The withholding tax might not apply, however, or might apply at a reduced rate, under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty between the U.S. and the Non-U.S. Holders country of residence. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding your entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty. Generally, in order for the Corporation or the paying agent to withhold tax at a lower treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must certify its entitlement to treaty benefits. A Non-U.S. Holder generally can meet this certification requirement by providing a Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) or appropriate substitute form to the Corporation or the paying agent. If the Non-U.S. Holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the holders behalf, the holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent. The holders agent will then be required to provide certification to the Corporation or the paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries. For payments made to a partnership or other pass-through entity, the certification requirements generally apply to the partners or other owners rather than to the partnership or other entity, and the partnership or other entity must provide the partners or other owners documentation to the Corporation or the paying agent. If a Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty, such holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS in a timely manner.
75
Dividends received by a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder, and if required by an applicable income tax treaty between the U.S. and the Non-U.S. Holders country of residence, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S., are not subject to such withholding tax. To obtain this exemption, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide the Corporation with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition to the graduated tax described above, dividends received by corporate Non-U.S. Holders that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the corporate Non-U.S. Holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty.
Sale of Common Stock
Non-U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gains realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares unless:
The FIRPTA rules may apply to a sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares if the Corporation is, or was within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition and the Non-U.S. Holders holding period, a U.S. real property holding corporation, or USRPHC. In general, the Corporation would be a USRPHC if interests in U.S. real estate comprised at least half of the Corporations business assets. The Corporation does not believe that it is a USRPHC and does not anticipate becoming one in the future. Even if the Corporation becomes a USRPHC, as long as the Common Shares are regularly traded on an established securities market as set forth in the applicable Treasury Regulations (the Regularly Traded Exception), such Common Shares will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if beneficially owned by a Non-U.S. Holder that actually or constructively owned more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares at some time within the five-year period preceding the disposition. Non-U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurance that Common Shares will meet the Regularly Traded Exception at the time a Non-U.S. Holder purchases Common Shares or sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of such Common Shares. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences to them if the Corporation is or becomes a USRPHC.
If any gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares, (1) is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by a Non-U.S. Holder and (2) if required by an applicable income tax treaty between the U.S. and the Non-U.S. Holders country of residence, is attributable to a permanent establishment (or, in certain cases involving individuals, a fixed base) maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S., then the gain generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, under certain circumstances, that portion of its earnings and profits that is effectively connected with its U.S. trade or business, subject to certain adjustments, generally would be subject also to a branch profits tax. The branch profits tax rate is generally 30%, although an applicable income tax treaty between the U.S. and the Non-U.S. Holders country of residence might provide for a lower rate.
76
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Generally, the Corporation must report annually to the IRS and to Non-U.S. Holders the amount of dividends paid on Common Shares to Non-U.S. Holders and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of dividends paid by the Corporation, provided the Corporation receives a statement meeting certain requirements to the effect that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person and the Corporation does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, is not an exempt recipient. The requirements for the statement will be met if (1) the Non-U.S. Holder provides its name, address and U.S. taxpayer identification number, if any, and certifies, under penalty of perjury, that it is not a U.S. person (which certification may be made on IRS Form W-8BEN) or (2) a financial institution holding the instrument on behalf of the Non-U.S. Holder certifies, under penalty of perjury, that such statement has been received by it and furnishes the Corporation or the paying agent with a copy of the statement. In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding with respect to payments of the proceeds of a sale of Common Shares within the U.S. or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the statement described above has been received, and the Corporation does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that a holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, is not an exempt recipient, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished in a timely manner to the IRS.
Rules Relating to Foreign Accounts
Generally, the Corporation will be required to withhold tax at a rate of 30% on dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale of, Common Shares held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds) beginning after December 31, 2013, in the case of dividends, and beginning after December 31, 2016, in the case of such gross proceeds, unless such institution enters into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in the institution held by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly- or partially-owned by U.S. persons. Accordingly, the entity through which Common Shares are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale of, Common Shares held by certain investors that are non-financial non-U.S. entities will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, beginning after December 31, 2013, in the case of dividends, and beginning after December 31, 2016, in the case of such gross proceeds, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any "substantial U.S. owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity's "substantial U.S. owners," which will in turn be provided to the Secretary of the Treasury. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their holding of Common Shares.
THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. | |
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto together with managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in Security Devices International Incs.( SDI or the Company) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2012. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. In addition, some of the Companys statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be considered forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. The results of operations for the three-month period ended February 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. | |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 1, 2005. | |
2. |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
The Company is a non-lethal defense technology company, specializing in the development of innovative next generation solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. SDI has implemented manufacturing partnerships to assist in the deployment of their patented and patent pending family of products. These products consist of: the Blunt Impact Projectile 40mm (BIP) line of products and the Wireless Electric Projectile 40mm (WEP). | |
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. At February 28, 2013, the Company has no source of operating cash flows, has not achieved profitable operations, and has accumulated losses of $19,765,794 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has a need for additional working capital to launch its blunt impact and electric 40mm round products, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead, and discharge its liabilities as they come due. |

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN -Contd |
In order to finance the continued development, the Company is working towards the raising of appropriate capital in the near future. In addition to raising funds in the prior years, the Company raised $160,000 through the issuance of 800,000 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2011. The Company further raised an additional $878,328 by issue of Convertible Debentures during the year ended November 30, 2011 and $910,000 during the year ended November 30, 2012. In addition, the Company raised $649,750 by issuance of 2,165,834 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2012. The Company has filed a preliminary prospectus in Canada (Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia) to raise additional funds in accordance with the terms of the prospectus. | |
While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern | |
At February 28, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $19,765,794 which includes a non- cash stock based compensation expense of $6,523,954 for issue of options and warrants. | |

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS -Contd |
Accounting for the Financings: | |
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible debentures under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The conversion features meet the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional convertible contemplates a limitation on the number of shares issuable under the arrangement. In the case of Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 the instrument is convertible into a fixed number of shares. Although this instrument contains a down-round protection feature, it was determined to be insignificant and did not preclude characterization as conventional convertible. Since the Convertible Debentures achieved the conventional convertible exemption, the Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contracts embody a beneficial conversion feature. In the case of Convertible Debenture5, the calculation of the effective conversion amount resulted in a beneficial conversion feature. However, in the case of Convertible Debentures 2 and 4 the calculation of the effective conversion amount did not result in a beneficial conversion feature. At inception, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature for Convertible Debenture 5 as a component of stockholders equity. | |
The optional redemption feature embedded in Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 were not considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instrument. The Company analyzed the down-round protection feature, which expires 45 days from the inception date of the financing. The Company determined that there were no contemplated financings during this time period that would trigger the down-round protection feature. Given the features short-term nature and the unlikelihood of a triggering event occurring, the down-round protection feature was deemed immaterial at inception and thus does not require bifurcation and liability classification. | |
The purchase price allocation for Convertible Debenture 5 resulted in a debt discount of $50,000 respectively. The discount on the debenture is being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the debenture using the effective interest method. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of
Security Devices International, Inc.
(A Development Stage
Enterprise)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Security Devices International, Inc. (the Company) as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders' deficit for years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 and the period from inception (March 1, 2005) to November 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 and the period from inception (March 1, 2005), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the company has not commenced operations and has no source of operating revenue and expects to incur significant expenses before establishing operating revenue. The Companys future success is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital, not only to maintain its operating expenses, but also to continue to develop and be able to profitably market its product. Those factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements |
November 30, 2012 and 2011 |
(Amounts expressed in US Dollars) |
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The financial statements include the accounts of Security Devices International Inc. (the Company or SDI) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 1, 2005. |
|
2. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
The Company is a non-lethal defense technology company, specializing in the development of innovative next generation solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. SDI has implemented manufacturing partnerships to assist in the deployment of their patented and patent pending family of products. These products consist of; the Blunt Impact Projectile 40mm (BIP) line of products, and the Wireless Electric Projectile 40mm (WEP).
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. At November 30, 2012, the Company has no source of operating cash flows, has not achieved profitable operations, had a working capital of $121,803 and has accumulated losses of $19,296,146 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has a need for additional working capital to launch its blunt impact and electric 40mm round products, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead, and discharge its liabilities as they come due.
In order to finance the continued development, the Company is working towards the raising of appropriate capital in the near future. In addition to raising funds in the prior years, the Company raised $160,000 through the issuance of 800,000 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2011. The Company further raised an additional $878,328 by issue of Convertible Debentures during the year ended November 30, 2011 and $910,000 during year ended November 30, 2012. In addition, the Company raised $649,750 by issuance of 2,165,834 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2012.
While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
At November 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $19,296,146 which includes a non- cash stock based compensation expense of $6,485,771 for issue of options and warrants.

(Amounts expressed in US Dollars) |
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a) | Use of Estimates | |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. As the precise determination of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, depends on future events, the preparation of financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates for calculation of stock based compensation, calculation of beneficial conversion feature for convertible debentures and estimating the useful life of its plant and equipment. | ||
b) | Income Taxes | |
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (ASC 740-10-25). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740- 10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets likely. The Company did not incur any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is subject to U.S federal jurisdiction income tax examinations for the tax years 2006 through 2011. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2006 through 2011. | ||
c) | Revenue Recognition | |
The Companys revenue recognition policies are expected to follow common practice in the manufacturing industry. The Company will record revenue when it is realized, or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue to be realized, or realizable and earned, when the following revenue recognition requirements will be met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the products or services have been accepted by the customer via delivery or installation acceptance; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is probable. For product sales, the Company determines that the earnings process is complete when title, risk of loss and the right to use equipment has transferred to the customer. |

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Contd |
d) | Earnings (Loss) Per Share | ||||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at November 30, 2012 and 2011 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At November 30, 2012, there were 1,660,000 options and 4,319,000 warrants outstanding, which were convertible into equal number of common shares of the Company. | |||||
e) | Fair Values | ||||
The Company carries cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at their estimated fair values. (See note 3(j)) | |||||
f) | Research and Product Development | ||||
Research and Product Development costs, other than capital expenditures but including acquired research and product development costs, are charged against income in the period incurred. | |||||
g) | Stock-Based Compensation | ||||
All awards granted to employees and non-employees after , 2005 are valued at fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees using the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. As of November 30, 2012 there was $nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. The total stock-based compensation expense relating to all employees and non employees for the years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 was $929,365 and $Nil respectively |

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Contd |
h) | Foreign Currency | |
The Company maintains its books, records and banking transactions in U.S. dollars which is its functional and reporting currency. Exchange gains and losses are realized due to the differences in the exchange rate at the transaction date versus the rate in effect at the settlement or balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations. | ||
i) | Comprehensive loss | |
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non- owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive loss, which are excluded from net loss, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. | ||
j) | Financial Instruments |
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible debentures.
The Company follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10), which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Assets that are generally included in this category are cash and cash equivalents comprised of money market funds, restricted cash and short-term investments.
Level 2Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instruments anticipated life.
Level 3Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

j) | Financial Instruments-Contd |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of November 30, 2012 and 2011 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy tiers described above:
Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||
November 30, 2012: | ||||||
Cash | $ | 232,471 | $ | 232,471 | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 150,368 | 150,368 | ||||
Convertible debentures | $ | 1,192,639 | $ | 1,192,639 | ||
Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 568,995 | 568,995 | |||
Convertible debentures | 867,826 | $ | 867,826 |
Cash has been measured using Level 1 of the Fair Value Hierarchy.
k) | Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |
Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. | ||
l) | Concentration of Credit Risk | |
The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration. |

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. The adoption of this update will not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments in this standard require that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12), which indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or result of operation.

Accounting for the Financings:
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible debentures under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The conversion features meet the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a limitation on the number of shares issuable under the arrangement. In the case of Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 the instrument is convertible into a fixed number of shares. Although this instrument contains a down-round protection feature, it was determined to be insignificant and did not preclude characterization as conventional convertible. Since the Convertible Debentures achieved the conventional convertible exemption, the Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contracts embody a beneficial conversion feature. In the case of Convertible Debenture5, the calculation of the effective conversion amount resulted in a beneficial conversion feature. However, in the case of Convertible Debentures 2 and 4 the calculation of the effective conversion amount did not result in a beneficial conversion feature. At inception, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature for Convertible Debenture 5 as a component of stockholders equity.
The optional redemption feature embedded in Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 were not considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instrument. The Company analyzed the down-round protection feature, which expires 45 days from the inception date of the financing. The Company determined that there were no contemplated financings during this time period that would trigger the down-round protection feature. Given the features short-term nature and the unlikelihood of a triggering event occurring, the down-round protection feature was deemed immaterial at inception and thus does not require bifurcation and liability classification.
The purchase price allocation for Convertible Debenture 5 resulted in a debt discount of $50,000 respectively. The discount on the debenture is being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the debenture using the effective interest method.

On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Elad to settle the accounts payable. Elad had previously performed services for the development of a less-than-lethal-electric-projectile and blunt impact projectile. At the date of the settlement agreement, the Company owed Elad $315,143.The Company and Elad agreed to irrevocably waive and release each other from any claim, demand or action in connection with services provided, upon payment of $100,000 by the Company to Elad no later than March 20, 2012. In addition, all of the issued and outstanding stock options for common shares in the Companys capital stock previously issued to the principals of Elad are to be exchanged into warrants on terms identical to the terms of the existing stock options (see note 7). The $100,000 payment was made on March 20, 2012.

ITEM 17 UNDERTAKINGS
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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(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) which, 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 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) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement.
(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 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 which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining liability to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 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; or
135
(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 of 1933 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:
(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.
(6) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(7) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
