The
Record Date for purposes of determining
those stockholders entitled to
vote and to whom this
Information Statement is to be sent is April 7, 2017.
On the Record Date we had 23,450,233 shares of Common Stock, 4,565,000 shares of Series A Preferred,
and
12,970,648
shares
of
Series
B
Preferred
outstanding.
The

On
the
Record

and
the
Amendments,
with each share of Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote, each share of Series A Preferred entitled to ten
(10) votes and each share of Series B Preferred entitled to one (1) vote.

held
a

of
the
outstanding
voting
shares
on
the
Record
Date or approximately 57.41% of the total number of votes entitled to participate in the approval.
2
No Vote Required
We
will
not
be

the
Reverse
Split
and
Amendments
as
none
is

of
the
NRS
as
the

Outstanding Voting Securities
Our
authorized
capital
stock
consisted
of
525,000,000
shares
of
Common
Stock
par
value
$0.001,
of
which
23,450,233
shares
were
outstanding,
250,000,000
shares
of
Preferred
Stock
of
which
4,565,000
shares
of
Series A
Preferred
were
outstanding,
and
12,970,648 shares
of
Series
B
Preferred
were
outstanding
on
the
Record
Date.
Outstanding
shares
of
Series
A
Preferred
and
Series
B
Preferred
are
entitled to vote with outstanding shares of Common Stock as a single class. On of the Record Date, a total
of
82,070,881
votes
were
entitled
to
vote
on
the
the
Reverse
Split
and
the
Amendments.
Each
share
of
Common
Stock
is
entitled
to
one
(1)
vote,
each
share
of
Series
A
Preferred
is
entitled
to
ten
(10)
votes
and each share of Series B Preferred is entitled to one (1) vote.
REVERSE SPLIT
(Resolution (i))
On April 7, 2017, the Companys Board and the Consenting Stockholders approved a Reverse Split of the
Company's Common Stock on a one (1) for one hundred (100) basis.
The
Reverse
Split
will
be
effected
in
coordination
with
notice
to
FINRA
and
the
Companys
transfer
agent
of corporate
action
on
a
certain
date
(
Effective Date
).
On the
Effective Date
the holder
for
every
100
shares
of
Common
Stock
will
be
entitled
to
one
share
of
Common
Stock.
The
Reverse
Split
will
not
result
in
a
change
in
the
par
value
of
the
Common
Stock.
Rather
than
cause
the
creation
of
fractional
shares
of
Common
Stock,
if
a
stockholder
would
otherwise
be
entitled
to
receive
a
fractional
share,
such
stockholder
will
be
entitled
to
receive
a
whole
share.
The
Reverse
Split
will
occur
automatically
on
the
Effective
Date
without
any
action
on
the
part
of
stockholders
and
without
regard
to
the
date
certificates
representing shares of Common Stock are physically surrendered for new certificates.
Based
on
the
number
of
shares
of
Common
Stock
issued
and
outstanding,
immediately
following
the
Reverse
Split
the
Company
will
have
approximately
234,502
shares
of
Common
Stock
par
value
$0.001
outstanding
(without
giving
effect
to
rounding
up
for
fractional
shares).
Stockholders
will
hold
the
same
percentage interest in the Common Stock on the Effective Date as they held prior to the Reverse Split, but
their interest
will be represented by one-one hundredth
as many shares. All
outstanding options,
warrants,
notes,
debentures
and
other securities
entitling
their
holders
to
purchase
shares
of
Common
Stock will
be
adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split. The conversion ratio for each instrument will be reduced, and the
exercise
price,
if
applicable,
will
be
increased,
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
each
instrument
and
the
ratio of the Reverse Split.
The
Board
reserves
the
right,
notwithstanding
the
Consenting
Stockholders
approval
and
without
further
action
by
stockholders,
to
elect
not
to
proceed
with
the
Reverse
Split
if
it
determines
that
the
Reverse
Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
4
Reasons for the Reverse Split
Condition to Lead Investor Financing
The Company has financed operations to date from proceeds of private placements of Common Stock and
Series B Preferred, exercise of warrants, issuances of convertible debentures, advances from directors and
stockholders and revenue. Our business plan anticipates increases in operating expenses and capital
expenditures
over
the
next
twelve
months
in
relation
to
product
development,
research
and
development
and
marketing. Despite
these
expectations,
we
had
no
agreements
to
obtain
funds
through
bank
loans,
lines of credit or any other sources. Since we had no financing committed, the prospect of being unable to
secure financing to continue as a viable business was a vital concern to our Board.
On March 29, 2017, we acted to preserve and grow our business by
entering
into a Lead Investor
Agreement that committed certain investors to subscribe to a private placement offering. For us to
incentivize
investment
a
condition
of
the
agreement
was
that
in
the
event
the
offering
was
fully
subscribed that the Company would effect a reverse split of its Common Stock on a 1/100 basis. On April
3,
2017,
the
Company announced
that
the
offering
was
fully subscribed
and
as
a
result
it
was
committed
to effect the Reverse Split.
Increased Share Price
The Reverse Split may
set our stock price to a level that we believe would be more consistent with similar
companies
in
our
technology
space.
The
resultant
stock
price
may
also
meet
investing
guidelines
for
certain
institutional
investors
and
investment
funds
that
are
currently
prevented
from
investing
in
our
Common Stock.
We believe that the current per share price level of our Common Stock has reduced the effective
marketability of
our
stock
because
many leading
brokerage
firms
are
reluctant
to
recommend
low
priced
stock
to
their
clients.
Some
investors
view low
priced
stock
as
unattractive
because
of the
greater
trading
volatility
sometimes
associated
with
these
stocks.
In
addition,
a
variety
of
brokerage
house
policies
and
practices
relating
to
the
payment
of
brokerage
commissions
make
the
handling
of
low
priced
stocks
unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint.
Our stockholders may
also benefit from relatively lower trading costs associated with a higher stock price.
Many
investors pay
commissions based on the number of shares traded when they
buy or sell our
Common Stock. If our stock price increases, such investors would pay lower commissions to trade a fixed
dollar amount of our stock than they would if our stock price were lower.
For
the
above
reasons,
the
Company
believes
that
the
Reverse
Split
is
in
the
best
interests
of
both
the
Company and its stockholders. The Company expects that after the Reverse Split, the Common Stock will
trade at
a price
significantly higher
than its current market
price.
However, the Company cannot give
any
assurance that it will trade at one hundred times the market price prior to the Reverse Split.
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Split
The Reverse Split could result in a significant devaluation of the Companys market capitalization and the
trading price of its Common Stock
5
Although
the
Board
expects
that
the
Reverse
Split
will
result
in
an
increase
in
the
market
price
of
the
Common
Stock,
it
cannot
assure
you
that
the
market
price
will
increase
in
proportion
to
the
reduction
in
the
number
of
shares
outstanding
or
result
in
a
permanent
increase
in
the
market
price.
Accordingly,
the
total
market
capitalization
of
the
Company
after
the
Reverse
Split
may
be
lower
than
the
total
market
capitalization
before
the
Reverse
Split
and,
in
the
future, the
market
price
of
the
Common
Stock may not
exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the Reverse Split.
The
effect
of
the
Reverse
Split
upon
the
market
price
of
our
Common
Stock
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty, and the history of similar reverse splits for companies in similar circumstances to ours is varied
The market price of the Common Stock is dependent on many
factors, including our business and
financial
performance,
general
market
conditions,
prospects
for
future
success
and
other
factors
detailed
from
time
to
time
in
the
reports
we
file
with
the
Securities
&
Exchange
Commission
(
Commission
).
Once the Reverse Split is implemented, the market price for our Common Stock may
decline. The
percentage
of decline as
an
absolute number
and
as
a percentage
of
our
overall
market
capitalization may
then be greater than would have occurred in the absence of the Reverse Split.
The Reverse Split may result in some stockholders owning odd lots that may be more difficult to sell or
require greater transaction costs per share to sell
The
Reverse
Split
may
result
in
some
stockholders
owning
odd
lots
of
less
than
100
shares
of
our
Common
Stock
on
a
post-split
basis.
These
odd
lots
may
be
more
difficult
to
sell,
or
require
greater
transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in round lots of even multiples of 100 shares.
The Reverse Split may not generate additional investor interest
While the Board believes that a higher stock price may generate investor interest, there can be no
assurance
that the Reverse Split
will result in
a per
share
price
gain
that
will
attract institutional
investors
or
investment
funds
or
that
such
stock
price
will
satisfy the
investing
guidelines
of
institutional
investors
or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.
The
reduced
number
of
shares
of
Common
Stock
resulting
from
the
Reverse
Split
could
adversely
affect
the liquidity of our Common Stock
Although the Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a
consequence
of
the
Reverse
Split
and
an
anticipated
increase
in
the
market
price
of
our
Common
Stock
could
encourage
market
interest
and
promote
greater
liquidity,
such
liquidity
could
also
be
adversely
affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding.
Effects of the Reverse Split
Effect on Authorized and Outstanding Shares
We
intend
to
amend
our
Articles
to
authorize
us
to
issue
up
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
million
(250,000,000)
shares
of
Common
Stock
(see
Resolution
(ii)
Amendments).
Upon
effectiveness
of
the
Reverse Split and the Amendments, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that are not issued
or
outstanding
will
decrease
despite
the
Reverse
Split
since
adoption
of
the
Amendments
will
decrease
the number of authorized and available shares available for issuance.
6
Effect on Existing Holders of Common Stock
On
the
Effective
Date,
each
holder
of
Common
Stock
will
own
a
lesser
number
of
shares
of
Common
Stock. The Reverse Split
will affect all
holders of Common Stock uniformly but will
not
affect
holders of
Series
A
Preferred
or
Series
B
Preferred.
The
proportionate
voting
rights
of
Common
Stock
holders
will
immediately decrease while the proportionate voting rights of Preferred Stock holders
will increase. Each
Common Stock holders ownership interest in the Company will
decrease on the Effective Date while the
ownership of each Preferred Stock holder will proportionately increase. Future prospective conversions of
Preferred
Stock
into
Common
Stock
will
have
a
dilutive
effect
on
holders
of
Common
Stock
further
decreasing
their
ownership
interests.
The
number
of
stockholders
of
record
will
not
be
affected
by
the
Reverse
Split
as
the
Company will
issue
one
(1)
whole
share
of Common
Stock for
any fractional
shares
that might result coincident with the Reverse Split.
Effect on Outstanding Stock Awards; Stock Plans
The
Reverse
Split
will
affect
outstanding restricted
stock awards,
restricted
stock warrants
and
options
to
purchase
our
Common
Stock.
The
Reverse
Split
will
also
reduce
the
number
of
stock
options
issuable
under
the
2015
Stock
Option
Plan.
The
per
share
exercise
price
of
all
outstanding
option
awards
will
be
increased
proportionately
and
the
number
of
Common
Stock
shares
issuable
upon
the
exercise
of
all
outstanding
option
awards
and
the
vesting
of
unvested
restricted
stock
will
be
decreased
proportionately.
These
adjustments
will
result
in
approximately
the
same
aggregate
exercise
price
being
required
to
be
paid
for
all
outstanding
option
awards
upon
exercise,
although
the
aggregate
number
of
shares
issuable
upon exercise of such option awards will be reduced proportionately.
No Going Private Transaction
Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock following the
Reverse
Split, our
Board
does
not
intend
for
this
transaction
to
be
the
first
step
in
a
going
private
transaction
within
the
meaning
of
Rule
13e-3
of
the
Exchange
Act.
As
of
April
7,
2017,
we
had
47
Common
Stock
holders
of
record.
Accordingly,
we
expect
to
continue
to
have
over
47
Common
Stock
record holders following the Reverse Split.
Accounting Consequences
The
par
value
per
share
of
our
Common
Stock
will
remain
unchanged
at
$0.001
per
share
after
the
Reverse
Split. As
a
result,
on
the
Effective
Date,
the
stated
capital
on
the
Companys
balance
sheet
attributable
to
our
Common
Stock
will
be
decreased
proportionately
from
its
present
amount,
and
the
additional paid in capital account will be credited with the amount
by which the stated capital is
decreased.
Per
share
Common
Stock
net
income
or
loss
and
net
book
value
will
increase
because
there
will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Registered Certificated Shares
Registered stockholders
hold their shares of Common Stock in certificate form or book entry form.
If any
of
your
shares
of
Common Stock
are
held
in
certificate form,
you
will
receive
a
letter
of
transmittal
from
the Companys transfer agent as
soon as
practicable after the Effective
Date. The letter
of transmittal
will
contain
instructions
on
how
to
surrender
your
certificate(s)
to
the
transfer
agent.
Upon
receipt
of
your
properly completed
and
executed
letter
of
transmittal
and
your
stock
certificate(s),
you
will
be
issued
the
appropriate
number
of
shares
either
in
certificate
form
or
electronically
in
book-entry
form
under
the
direct registration system. No new stock certificates will
be issued to a stockholder
until
such stockholder
has surrendered such stockholders outstanding certificate(s) to the transfer agent.
7
Beginning
on
the
Effective
Date,
each
certificate
representing
shares
of
Common
Stock
will
be
deemed
for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post Reverse Split shares of Common Stock.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD
NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Registered Book-Entry Holders
The
Companys
registered
holders
of
Common
Stock
may
hold
some
or
all
of
their
shares
electronically
in
book-entry
form
under
the
direct
registration
system
for
securities.
These
stockholders
will
not
have
stock
certificates
evidencing
their
ownership
of
our
Common
Stock.
They
will,
however,
be
provided
with
a
statement
reflecting
the
number
of
shares
registered
in
their
accounts.
If
you
hold
shares
in
book-
entry form you do not need to take any action to receive your post Reverse Split shares. If you are entitled
to
post
Reverse
Split
shares
a
transaction
statement

C
ertain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The
information
below
is
only a
summary
of
certain
U.S.
federal
income
tax
consequences
of
a
Reverse
Split
and
does
not
purport
to
be
a
complete
discussion
of
all
possible
tax
consequences.
This
summary
addresses
only those
stockholders
who
hold
their
shares
of
Common
Stock
as
"capital
assets"
as
defined
in
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended
("
Code
").
This
discussion
does
not
address
all
U.S.
federal
income
tax considerations
that
may be
relevant
to
particular
stockholders
in
light
of their
individual
circumstances
or to
stockholders
that
are
subject
to
special
rules,
such as
financial
institutions,
tax-exempt
organizations, insurance
companies,
dealers in securities,
and foreign stockholders. The
following
summary
is
based
upon
the
provisions
of
the
Code,
applicable
Treasury
Regulations
thereunder,
judicial
decisions
and
current
administrative
rulings,
as
of
the
date
hereof,
all
of
which
are
subject to
change,
possibly on
a
retroactive
basis. Tax consequences
under
state,
local,
foreign,
and
other
laws
are
not
addressed
herein.
Each
stockholder
should
consult
his,
her
or
its
own
tax
advisor
as
to
the
particular
facts
and
circumstances
that
may be
unique
to
such
stockholder
and
also
as
to
any estate,
gift,
state, local or foreign tax considerations arising out of the Reverse Split.
The
tax
treatment
of
a
stockholder
may
vary
depending
upon
the
particular
facts
and
circumstances
of
such
stockholder.
You
should
consult
with
your
own
tax
advisor
with
respect
to
the
tax
consequences
of
the
Reverse
Split.
As
used
herein,
the
term
U.S.
Holder
means
a
stockholder
that
is,
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes:
a
citizen
or
resident
of
the
United
States;
a
corporation
or
other
entity
treated
as
a
corporation
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
created
or
organized
in
or
under
the
laws
of
the
United
States
or
any
state,
including
the
District
of
Columbia;
an
estate
the
income
of
which
is
subject
to
U.S.
federal income tax regardless of its source; or a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S.
court
and
the
control
of
one
of
more
U.S.
persons
or
(ii)
has
a
valid
election
in
effect
under
applicable
U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The
following
information
is
based
on
the
Code,
applicable
Treasury
Regulations,
judicial
authority
and
administrative
rulings
and
practice,
all
as
of
the
date
hereof.
The
Companys
view
regarding
the
tax
consequences of the Reverse Split is not
binding on the Internal Revenue Service or
the courts, and either
could adopt a contrary
position. In addition, future legislative, judicial or administrative changes or
interpretations could adversely affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. Any
such
changes
or
interpretations
could
be
applied
retroactively
and
could
affect the
tax
consequences
described
herein.
No
ruling
from
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
or
opinion
of
counsel
has
been
or
will
be
obtained in connection with the Reverse Split.
No
gain or
loss
should
be recognized by a
U.S.
Holder
upon such
holders
exchange
of pre-Reverse
Split
shares
of Common
Stock
for
post-Reverse
Split
shares
of Common
Stock.
The
aggregate
tax
basis
of
the
post-Reverse
Split
shares
will
be
the
same
as
the
holders
aggregate
tax
basis
in
the
pre-Reverse
Split
shares
exchanged
therefor.
The
holders
holding
period
for
the
post-Reverse
Split
shares
will
include
the
period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Split shares surrendered.
PLANS, PROPOSALS OR ARRANGEMENTS TO ISSUE AVAILABLE SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK
The principal reasons for effecting the Reverse Split is to comply with the conditions of the Lead Investor
Agreement and
to increase the share price of our Common Stock in order to attract investors. The
Company has not entered into any agreements whereby it has agreed to issue available shares of Common
Stock.
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes is required for approval of the Reverse Split.
The Company has obtained this approval through the written consent of stockholders casting a majority of
the votes entitled to participate in the approval. Therefore, an extraordinary meeting of the stockholders to
approve the Reverse Split is unnecessary and will not take place for this purpose.
AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
(Resolutions (ii) and (iii)
On
April
7,
2017,
the
Companys
Board
and
the
Consenting
Stockholders
approved
the
filing
of
an
amendment
to
the
Articles
to
decrease
the
number
of
authorized
shares
of
Common
Stock
from
five
hundred and twenty five
million (525,000,000) par value $0.001 to two hundred and fifty million
(250,000,000) par
value
$0.001,
and
to decrease the number
of authorized shares of Preferred Stock from
two hundred and fifty million (250,000,000) shares par value $0.001 to seventy-five million shares
(75,000,000) par value $0.001 with no change in the number of designated or outstanding shares of Series
A Preferred or Series B Preferred. The form of the Amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The
decrease in the number of the Companys
authorized shares of Common
Stock and authorized shares
of Preferred Stock will be implemented by amending our Articles without changing either the par value of
each
designated
class
of
securities
or
decreasing
the
number
of
shares
already
designated
as
Series
A
Preferred and Series B Preferred.
The
Amendments
will
cause
the
Company
to
delete
the
third
article
of
its
Articles,
as
amended,
in
its
entirety, providing for a new third article as follows:
9
Article 3: The Capital Stock shall consist of 250,000,000 shares of common stock,
$0.001
par
value,
all
of
which
stock
shall
be
entitled
to
voting
power,
and
75,000,000
shares
of preferred stock, $0.001
par
value.
To the
fullest
extent
permitted by the laws
of
the
state
of
Nevada
(currently
set
forth
in
NRS
78.195
and
78.1955),
as
the
same
now
exists
or
may hereafter
be amended or
supplemented,
the Board of
Directors
may fix
and
determine
the
designations,
rights,
preferences
or
other
variations
of
each
class
or
series
within
each
class
of
preferred
stock
of
the
Corporation.
The
Corporation
may
issue
shares
of
Capital
Stock
for
such
consideration
as
may
be
fixed
by
the
Board
of
Directors.
The
decrease in the number of authorized shares
of the Companys Common
Stock and authorized shares
of the
Companys
Preferred
Stock will
become
effective
upon
the
filing of the amendment
to its Articles,
as amended, with the Nevada Secretary of State.
Reasons for Decreasing the Number of Authorized Shares of Common and Preferred Stock
The
Board
and
the
Consenting
Stockholders
determined
to
decrease
the
number
of
shares
of
our
authorized
Common
Stock
and
Preferred
Stock
in
order
to
reduce
the
number
of
shares
available
for
issuance.
We
believe
that
the
number
of
shares
currently
available
for
issuance
may
have
a
negative
impact
on
our
efforts
to
attract
additional
financing
due
to
the
potentially dilutive
effect
of
having
such
a
large number of shares available for issuance.
For
the
above
reason,
we
believe
that
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
shares
of
our
authorized
Common
Stock and Preferred Stock is in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders.
Effects of Filing the Amendments
The filing of the Amendments with the Nevada Secretary of State will have no effect on existing
stockholders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred.
PLANS, PROPOSALS OR ARRANGEMENTS TO ISSUE AVAILABLE SHARES OF COMMON
OR PREFERRED STOCK
The
reason for
filing the Amendments
is to reduce the number
of
shares of Common
and
Preferred
Stock
that
are
available
for
issuance.
Nevertheless,
as
of
April
25,
2017,
we
are
committed
to
issue
up
to
an
additional
400,000
shares
of
Series
B
Preferred
in
connection
with
certain
convertible
debt
obligations
that
can
be
converted
to
equity
at
the
election
of
the
holders.
Otherwise,
the
Company
has
no
plans,
commitments
or
arrangements
with
respect
to
issuing
authorized
but
unissued
shares
of
Common
Stock
or
Preferred
Stock
other
than
those
commitments
attached
to
the
exercise
of
outstanding
share
purchase
warrants and stock options.
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes is required for approval of the Amendments
The Company has obtained this approval through the written consent of stockholders casting a majority of
the votes entitled to participate in the approval. Therefore, an extraordinary meeting of the stockholders to
approve the Amendments is unnecessary and will not take place for this purpose.
