FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain or incorporate by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that may be identified by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “consider,” “predict,” “potential,” “feel,” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith evaluation of information available at the time the forward-looking statements were made. However, such statements are dependent on and, therefore, can be influenced by a number of external variables over which we have little or no control. For a discussion of significant risk factors applicable to us, see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation”, including the Section captioned “Risk Factors” therein, in the Fiscal 2017 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as, a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

DILUTION

The Company does not have adequate revenue to fund all of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to generate substantial revenue growth could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company’s deployment of its products, and may result in the Company looking to obtain such additional financing, resulting in possible dilution. Any such financing will dilute the ownership interest of the Company’s shareholders at the time of the financing, and may dilute the value of their shareholdings.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of our common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to the shareholders.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our Board of Directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

8

Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for the selling shareholders by Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP.

EXPERTS

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

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the Shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the Shares are referred to as the “selling shareholders”. The selling shareholders acquired their Shares in the Private Placement, as described below.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the selling shareholders. We will pay all costs of registering the Shares offered by the selling shareholders. These costs, based upon the time related to preparing this section of the prospectus, are estimated to be $14,161. The selling shareholders will pay all sales commissions and other costs of the sale of the Shares offered by them.

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

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid J Streicher Capital, LLC, a placement agent (the “Agent”), $60,669 in cash commission and issued to the Agent 572,354 agent warrants (the “Agent Warrants”). Each Agent Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock on or before November 28, 2022 at an exercise price of $0.15. If the average closing price of the Company’s common stock is over $0.30 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending after November 28, 2019, the Company may give notice to the registered holders of the Agent Warrants accelerating the expiry date to a date not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

The controlling persons of the non-individual selling shareholders are:

Donald Levantin and Bryan Ganz are each one of our directors. Bryan Ganz is (i) related to Neil Ganz (the Controlling Person of the Ganz 1997 Trust), (ii) related to Judith Ganz (the Controlling Person of the Judith L. Ganz Trust UA 04-23-2015), and (iii) owns and controls Northeast Industrial Partners, LLC. Donald Levantin is related to Ethel Levantin. Paul Jensen is one of our officers. With the exception of the foregoing individuals, no selling shareholder has, or had, any material relationship with us or our officers or directors.

To our knowledge, no selling shareholder except Doug Lipton, Rod Friedman and the Agent is affiliated with a securities broker.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders, including their transferees, donees, pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Shares offered by this prospectus from time to time on the TSXV, the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

In completing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the selling shareholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of their securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of §2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the securities as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

If any selling shareholder enters into an agreement to sell his or her securities to a broker-dealer as principal, and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker-dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.

13

The selling shareholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

We agreed to file the registration statement no later than March 28, 2018 and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective 150 days following the date the registration statement is filed with the SEC, and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of one year or for such shorter period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the date as of which all of the selling shareholders may sell all of the securities registered under this registration statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule thereto) or (ii) the date when all of the securities registered hereunder shall have been sold.

We have advised the selling shareholders that they, and any securities broker-dealers or others who sell the Shares on behalf of the selling shareholders, may be deemed to be statutory underwriters and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. We have also advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a “distribution” of the securities owned by the selling shareholder, the selling shareholder, any “affiliated purchasers”, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”) until their participation in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase securities of the same class as is the subject of the distribution. A “distribution” is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities “that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods”. We have also advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any “stabilizing bid” or “stabilizing purchase” for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the Shares in connection with this offering.

Item 14.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

The Company’s bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors or officers, or former directors or officers, or any person who may have served at the Company’s request as a director or officer of another corporation in which the Company owns shares of capital stock or of which the Company is a creditor and the personal representatives of all such persons, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in which they, or any of them, were made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been directors or officers or a director or officer of the Company, or of such other corporation, except in relation to matters as to which any such director or officer or person shall have been adjudged in such action, suit, or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of any duty owed to the Company. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled by law, under any agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise.

† Management Contract

Item 17.     Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

20

(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4)     That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

21

(5)     That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
