PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To Be Held May 1, 2017

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Lifeloc Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), for use at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 9:00 A.M. Mountain Time, on May 1, 2017, at the offices of the Company, 12441 W 49th Ave., Suite 4, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 and at any and all adjournments of such meeting (the "Annual Meeting").

If the enclosed Proxy Card is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the meeting, the shares of common stock represented will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Executed Proxy Cards that contain no instructions will be voted for each of the nominees for director indicated herein, for the resolution approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers ("Say on Pay"), and for the ratification of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. as our independent public accountants. It is anticipated that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card and Notice of Annual Meeting will be mailed to our shareholders on or about April 12, 2017.

Shareholders who execute proxies for the Annual Meeting may revoke their proxies at any time prior to their exercise by delivering written notice of revocation to our secretary, by delivering a duly executed Proxy Card bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Lifeloc will bear the costs of the meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing the Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Card. We may, in addition, use the services of our directors, officers and employees to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, but at no additional salary or compensation. We will also request banks, brokers, and others who hold shares of our common stock in nominee names to distribute annual reports and proxy soliciting materials to beneficial owners, and we will reimburse such banks and brokers for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which they may incur in so doing.

OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK

The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is March 31, 2017. At the close of business on that day, there were 2,454,116 shares of our common stock, no par value, outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

QUORUM AND VOTING

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting is necessary in order to constitute a quorum for the meeting. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" will be counted for purposes of attaining a quorum. If your shares are held in street name and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your brokerage firm, in its discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters. With the sole exception of the ratification of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. as the Company's independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, no matters submitted for shareholder approval herein are "routine" matters. Consequently, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any matter other than the proposal to ratify the appointment of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. The shares left unvoted by brokers are called broker non-votes. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote will be required to elect directors, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote will be required to approve the approval of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. as the Company's independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and any other matter to be voted on by the shareholders at the meeting. Proxies marked "withhold" and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. With respect to the other matters, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal, and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect. To the extent that your brokerage firm votes your shares on your behalf in the absence of instructions on the accountant ratification proposal, such shares will have the effect of a vote for the proposal and such shares also will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AT THE MEETING

The accompanying proxy, unless the shareholder otherwise specifies in the proxy, will be voted (1) FOR the election of each of the five nominees named herein for the office of director, (2) FOR ratification of the appointment of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. as our independent public accountants, (3) FOR the resolution approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers ("Say on Pay"), and (4) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

If shareholders have appropriately specified how their proxies are to be voted, they will be voted accordingly. If any other matter of business is brought before the meeting, the proxy holders may vote the proxies at their discretion. The directors do not know of any such other matter of business.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order for a shareholder to be eligible to submit a proposal or nomination to the 2018 Annual Meeting, the shareholder must be a shareholder of record both when submitting the proposal or nomination and on the Record Date. If a shareholder wishes to submit a proposal for possible inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2018 Annual Meeting of shareholders, the notice must be in proper form and received at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:30 p.m. MST on December 15, 2017. Such proposals when submitted must be in full compliance with applicable laws, including Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors has nominated the five persons listed below for election as directors for the 2017 fiscal year, each to hold office until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. A shareholder using the enclosed Proxy Card can vote for all or any of the nominees of the board of directors or such shareholder may withhold his or her vote from all or any of such nominees. If the Proxy Card is properly executed but not marked, it will be voted for all of the nominees. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director if elected; however, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election prior to the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will exercise their voting power in favor of such other person or persons as our board of directors may recommend. There are no family relationships among these nominees except that Michael J. Kornelsen is the son of Vern D. Kornelsen.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EACH NOMINEE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The following table sets forth the members of our board of directors, their ages as of May 1, 2017, and their positions and offices held:

Wayne Willkomm, Ph.D., was elected as a director on July 5, 2011 to fill the vacancy that occurred on June 18, 2011 as a result of the death of Alan C. Castrodale. On January 18, 2016 he was designated as the President and Chief Executive Officer. Before beginning his new role with the Company, Dr. Willkomm was the North American Market Development Manager for Novomer, Inc. Dr. Willkomm was the principal consultant of Willkomm Consulting, LLC between March 2007 and February 2014. Prior to that, he was president of the Tool and Molding Division of Intrex Corporation from 2006 to 2007. Previous positions include president of Kryptane Systems, LLC from 2000 to 2006 and various positions at Dow Chemical Company from 1989 to 2000. He has broad experience in leading manufacturing and product development organizations, has consulted in renewable materials and medical devices and is an inventor on 14 U.S. patents. He holds a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. In determining Dr. Willkomm's qualifications to serve on our board of directors, the board considered, among other things, his extensive management, manufacturing, and product development experience.

Vern D. Kornelsen joined the Company as a director in 1991 and served as secretary and treasurer in 1992 and 1993. He is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors, secretary, Chief Financial Officer, and a director. Mr. Kornelsen continues with certain of his other business activities to the extent that they do not interfere with his responsibilities as an officer of the Company. He formerly practiced as a Certified Public Accountant in Denver, CO and is a financial consultant to several early stage companies. He was a director of Valleylab, a manufacturer of electrosurgical units, for 10 years, and led an investor group that provided a portion of its initial funding.

He received a BS degree in business from the University of Kansas. In determining Mr. Kornelsen's qualifications to serve on our board of directors, the board considered, among other things, his experience and expertise in finance, accounting and management.

Robert D. Greenlee has been a director of the Company since August 1989. He has more than thirty years of experience in broadcast management and also has extensive marketing and advertising expertise. Since 1987, Mr. Greenlee has had controlling equity positions in, and serves as a board member and consultant to, radio stations in Omaha, NE and Denver, CO. He is also President of Centennial Investment & Management Company, a closely held investment organization, and was formerly chairman of Black Hawk Gaming, Inc., a public company developing limited stakes gaming in Black Hawk and Central City, CO. Mr. Greenlee was a founder of Rock Bottom Restaurants, which was a publicly traded company until it was bought out by the original investors and thus taken private. In 2010 Rock Bottom Restaurants merged into a new private entity, Craftworks Restaurants and Breweries, where Mr. Greenlee continues to serve as a director. From 1975 through 1987, Mr. Greenlee was President of Centennial Wireless, Inc., licensee of KBCO AM/FM in Boulder, CO. This successful radio station was sold in January 1988. Mr. Greenlee has graduate and undergraduate degrees in communications from Iowa State University. In determining Mr. Greenlee's qualifications to serve on our board of directors, the board considered, among other things, his marketing and communications experience as well as his finance and management skills.

Director Meetings

During the year ended December 31, 2016, our board of directors met in person one time. Each member of the Board attended or participated in 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which such person has been a director) and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such person served (during the periods that such person served). All of our directors attended all of the meetings of the board of directors and acted by written consent three times. The audit committee held four telephonic meetings with our independent auditors.

We encourage our incumbent directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, subject to their travel schedules and other demands on their time. All of our directors attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Director Independence

Our board of directors determines whether a director is independent through a broad consideration of facts and circumstances, including an assessment of the materiality of any relation between us and a director not merely from the director's standpoint, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. Although our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, under the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations we are required to identify each of our directors who qualify as "independent," as such term is defined by a national securities exchange. Accordingly, we have examined the independence of our directors applying the definition of "Independent Director" provided in Nasdaq Listing Rules, as well as the independence criteria under relevant SEC rules. Using these rules, our board of directors has determined that Robert Greenlee and Donald Siecke qualify as independent directors, under the NASDAQ and SEC rules governing independence in general and also independence for the specific purposes of membership on audit, compensation and nomination/corporate governance committees. In addition, our board of directors determined that prior to assuming his new role as our chief executive officer and president, Wayne Willkomm qualified as an independent director for all purposes.

Compensation of Directors

The table below sets forth the compensation of our non-employee directors for serving as our directors for the year ended December 31, 2016:

	Fees Earned
	or Paid in Cash			Total
Name	($)			($)

Robert D. Greenlee		$	900.00		$	900.00
Barry R. Knott*		$	859.00		$	859.00
Donald E. Siecke		$	1,142.00		$	1,142.00

* Mr. Knott resigned as an officer on January 17, 2016, and as a director on February 24, 2017.

Our non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $900 per year, and the chair of our audit committee receives an additional annual retainer of $300 per year. There are no unexercised options held by any of our outside directors. Option grants to our directors are at the discretion of the board of directors.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a standing nominating committee, primarily because the current composition and size of the board of directors permits candid and open discussion regarding potential new members of the board of directors. The entire board of directors currently operates as the nominating committee, and recommends to our shareholders nominees for election to the board. There is no formal process or policy that governs the manner in which we identify potential candidates for the board of directors. Our board will consider recommendations for director nominees by shareholders if the names of those nominees and relevant biographical information are properly submitted in writing to our corporate secretary in the manner described for shareholder nominations above under the heading "Shareholder Proposals," and will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates for director under the same criteria as internally generated candidates. The board does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders because the board believes that it can adequately evaluate any such nominees on a case-by-case basis. A director nominee must have a strong professional or other background, a reputation for integrity and responsibility and experience relevant to our business and operations. A director nominee must be able to commit appropriate time to prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of our board of directors and its committees, as applicable, and the annual meeting of shareholders and must not have any conflicts of interest with our business and operations. Our board also requires some director nominees to be independent as defined under applicable SEC and NASDAQ listing rules, with the goal of having a majority of our directors be independent under such rules. All director nominees, whether submitted by a shareholder or our board, are evaluated in the same manner.

We do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the nominating committee strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the board will possess the appropriate talent, skills and expertise to oversee our business. Although the nominating committee does not currently have formal minimum criteria for nominees, substantial relevant business and industry experience would generally be considered important qualifying criteria, as would the ability to attend and prepare for board, committee and shareholder meetings. Any candidate must state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on our board and its committees.

Compensation Committee

We do not have a standing compensation committee. Our entire board of directors reviews and approves compensation for our executive officers and administers our stock option plans. Our board of directors evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Wayne Willkomm, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Vern Kornelsen, directly. Neither Dr. Willkomm nor Mr. Kornelsen is present during the board's deliberations as to his own compensation. With respect to senior management other than Dr. Willkomm and Mr. Kornelsen, Dr. Willkomm and Mr. Kornelsen participate in the decision-making by making recommendations to the board of directors. After informal discussion regarding such recommendations, the board of directors votes on any recommended compensation changes. Our board of directors does not utilize any particular formula in determining any compensation changes but instead exercises its business judgment in view of our overall compensation philosophy and objectives.

Our board of directors reviews and considers our compensation policies and programs on an annual basis in light of the board of directors' risk assessment and management responsibilities. We do not believe we have any compensation policies and programs that give rise to risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors maintains an audit committee comprised of two of our outside directors. The audit committee oversees our independent auditors and financial process on behalf of the board of directors. The audit committee has adopted a written charter and a complaint procedure policy.

Donald Siecke and Robert Greenlee comprise the current audit committee. Their backgrounds are more fully disclosed in their biographies under "Election of Directors." As discussed above, our board of directors has determined that both Mr. Siecke and Mr. Greenlee are independent under the NASDAQ and SEC rules governing independence in general and also independence for the specific purposes of membership on audit committees.

Our board of directors has determined that Donald Siecke qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the applicable regulations of the SEC as currently in effect and applicable to us.

A copy of the audit committee charter is available on the investors relations page of our website at www.lifeloc.com. Our audit committee held four telephonic meetings with our independent auditors during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors does not have a policy regarding separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, as the board of directors believes it is in the best interest of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the board. The board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer currently functions well and is the optimal leadership structure for the Company. This structure allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus to a greater extent on the management of our day-to-day operations.

Risk Oversight

The board of directors, principally through delegation to the audit committee, oversees risks facing us. The audit committee regularly discusses with management and our independent auditors our major risk exposures, whether financial, operating or otherwise, and the adequacy and effectiveness of our control of such risks. The audit committee also recommends from time to time that key identified risk areas be considered by the full board, and individual board members also periodically ask the full board to consider an area of risk. In addition, risk management issues are considered by the board with respect to all major decisions made by the board.

Our board of directors believes that the decision as to who should serve as Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer and whether the offices should be combined or separated is the proper responsibility of the board. The board members have considerable experience and knowledge about the challenges and opportunities the Company faces. The board, therefore, is in the best position to evaluate the Company's current and future needs and to judge how the capabilities of the Company's directors and senior management from time to time can be most effectively organized to meet those needs. While the board may combine these offices in the future if it considers such a combination to be in the best interest of the Company, it currently intends to retain this structure.

Shareholder Communications with Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties wishing to contact any member (or all members) of our board of directors or any committee of the board may do so by mail, addressed, either by name or title, to the board of directors or to any such individual director or group or committee of the directors, and all such correspondence should be sent to our principal office. Our administrative staff may review any such communications to ensure that inappropriate material is not forwarded to the board of directors or to any individual director. The board of directors intends to continuously evaluate its communication process with our shareholders and may adopt additional procedures to facilitate shareholder communications with the board of directors, consistent with standards of professionalism and our administrative resources.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all other directors and executive officers. The Code of Ethics is available on the investor relations page of our website at www.lifeloc.com. We intend to satisfy the requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding disclosure of amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of our Code of Ethics that apply to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers and directors by posting such information on our website.

Our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan on March 21, 2013, which was approved by our shareholders on April 1, 2013. Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, which provides for the grant of up to 150,000 total shares, the Board of Directors is able to grant either "nonqualified" or "incentive" stock options, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The purchase price of the shares subject to a stock option will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the stock option is granted.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Our board of directors and audit committee have selected Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. ("CDM") as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decision to engage CDM was approved by our board of directors and audit committee, and this appointment is being submitted to our shareholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. We do not expect that a representative of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. will be present at the Annual Meeting.

Eide Bailly LLC served as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, and was selected by the board as our independent public accountant for the year ended December 31, 2016. However, on December 20, 2016, we dismissed Eide Bailly LLP ("Eide Bailly") as our independent public accountant and subsequently appointed CDM as our new independent public accountant. The decision to dismiss Eide Bailly and to retain CDM was approved by the board on December 2, 2016.

Eide Bailly's reports on our consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During our two most recent fiscal years and through December 20, 2016, there were no disagreements with Eide Bailly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Eide Bailly's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on our consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, during such time period. We provided Eide Bailly with a copy of the foregoing disclosures, and Eide Bailly provided a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Eide Bailly's letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2016.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2016, we did not consult with CDM regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

During our two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements between us and Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. or Eide Bailly LLC, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF CAUSEY DEMGEN & MOORE P.C. AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017.

Audit Fees

Audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 paid to Eide Bailly LLP totaled $51,946 and $45,871, respectively. Fees include those for year-end audit engagement for the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as the review of the financial statements contained in our quarterly 10-Q filings during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Audit fees for the year ended December 31, 2016 paid or payable to Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. totaled $26,000 and include only the fees for the year-end audit engagement for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Audit-Related Expenses

Audit-related expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 paid to Eide Bailly LLP totaled $236 and $211, respectively, and consisted of reimbursable expenses incurred by our auditors in connection with the performance of their audit services.

No audit-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been billed by Causey Demgen & Moore P.C.

Tax Fees

Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. and Eide Bailly LLP did not render any services related to tax return preparation or tax planning for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015 respectively.

All Other Fees

There were no aggregate fees billed for any other services rendered by Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. or Eide Bailly LLP for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015 respectively.

Approval of Auditor Services and Fees

Our audit committee approves or pre-approves all services provided by our independent public accountants, in order to see that we engage our independent public accountants to provide only audit and non-audit services that are compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent public accountants. Permitted services include audit and audit-related services, tax and other non-audit related services. Certain services are identified as restricted. All fees identified in the preceding paragraphs were approved by our audit committee.

Audit Committee Report

Our board of directors maintains an audit committee comprised of two of our outside directors. The audit committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the "Annual Report") with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under generally accepted auditing standards, including Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. In addition, the audit committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor's communication with the audit committee concerning independence.

The audit committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The audit committee met with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY ON PAY)

Proposed Advisory Resolution of Shareholders

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on the following advisory resolution:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

Background on Proposal

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and related SEC rules, shareholders are given the opportunity every three years to vote at the Annual Meeting on this advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly referred to as "Say on Pay"). For more information about the compensation that we paid to our named executive officers during 2016, as well as a description of our overall executive compensation philosophy and program, please refer to the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement, as well as the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures that follow such section.

Effects of Advisory Vote

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to our named executive officers and will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION SET FORTH ABOVE REGARDING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

OTHER MATTERS

We know of no other matters that may come before the meeting. However, if any additional matters are properly presented at the meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed Proxy Card, or their substitutes, will vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS; HOUSEHOLDING

Our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016, including audited Financial Statements for the year then ended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K is being mailed to shareholders on or about April 12, 2017 with these proxy materials.

In an effort to reduce printing costs and postage fees, we have adopted a practice approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission called "householding." Under this practice, shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy materials unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another shareholder and received only one Annual Report or set of proxy materials and would like to request a separate copy of these materials and/or future proxy materials, please send your written request to: 12441 W 49th Ave., Suite 4, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033, Attention: Kristie LaRose, or contact us at (303) 431-9500, and we will promptly deliver such materials. You may also contact us if you received multiple copies of the Annual Report or proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future.

IN ORDER THAT YOUR SHARES MAY BE REPRESENTED IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD PROMPTLY. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING, WE WILL, IF YOU REQUEST, CANCEL THE PROXY CARD.
