Our Company

 

Corporate History and Background

 

We are a Nevada corporation based in the city of Ontario, California, incorporated in 2012. In December of 2013, we filed an S-1 registration statement that went effective on March 14, 2014. From March 14, 2014, through August 30, 2021, our securities traded on the OTCQB Market. From August 31, 2021, through January 27, 2022, our securities traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. From January 28, 2022, to September 22, 2024, our securities traded on the Nasdaq Global Market. On September 23, 2024, our securities were transferred for trading to the Nasdaq Capital Market. We hold 28 patents and patents pending in various phases of the patent process.

 

We operate through multiple subsidiaries, including Perfecular Inc. (“Perfecular”), Focus Universal (Shenzhen) Technology Company LTD (“Focus Shenzhen”), AVX Design & Integration, Inc. (“AVX,” also doing business as Smart AVX (“Smart AVX”)), and Lusher, Inc. (“Lusher”).

 

Perfecular was founded in September 2009, is headquartered in Ontario, California, and is engaged in designing certain digital sensor products, and sells a broad selection of horticultural sensors and filters in North America and Europe.

 

On December 23, 2021, we founded Focus Shenzhen in China for manufacturing procurement expertise and to support research and development activities. Focus Shenzhen is designed to function as a branch office accessing high level research and development support, and the ability to source products and build relationships with Chinese manufacturers.

 

AVX, incorporated on June 16, 2000, in the state of California, is an IoT installation and management company specializing in high performance audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation and integration. Services provided by AVX include full integration of houses, apartments, commercial complexes, and office spaces with audio, visual and control systems to fully integrate devices in the low voltage field, specializing in high end residential smart IoT installation projects in areas throughout the Southern California area. AVX’s services also include partial equipment upgrade and installation. AVX also markets and sells our IoT Products, such as high-end LED, live wall panel products and cameras, under the Smart AVX name.

 

On April 30, 2024, we founded Lusher to develop, market, and commercialize an automation financial reporting software called One Touch Financial.

 

We believe we have developed five proprietary technologies utilizing our patent portfolio which we believe solve the most fundamental problems plaguing the IoT industry through: (1) increasing overall chip integration by shifting integration from the component level to the device level; (2) creating a faster 5G cellular technology by using ultra-narrowband technology; (3) leveraging ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”) technology; (4) proprietary User Interface Machine auto generation technology; and (5) incorporating all our core technologies into a single chip.

 

We have developed a Universal Smart Technology that is designed to overcome instrumentation interoperability and interchangeability. Our electronic design starts from a 90% completed common foundation we call our universal smart instrumentation platform (“USIP”), instead of the current method of building each stand-alone instrument from scratch. Our method eliminates redundant hardware and software and results in significant cost savings and production efficiency. We also provide sensor devices and are a wholesaler of various air filters and digital, analog, and quantum light meter systems.

 

 

 

 S-3 

 

 

Our Lusher subsidiary is developing and designing a software to streamline SEC financial reporting for financial reporting and tax firms. Currently, we have completed the SEC financial reporting software in a Microsoft Word format. Our team is focused on streamlining the entire SEC financial reporting process for SEC attorneys, PCAOB accounting firms, and other financial reporting professionals. Our goal is that with a single click, our software automatically retrieves financial data from external accounting systems and generates consolidated financial statements and SEC reports in WORD, PDF, HTML, and XBRL formats—all within just a few minutes. Our developers are trying to eliminate human involvement when it comes to manually updating the numbers. This automation is designed to create an error-free, seamless process. We expect to showcase the software to the public in 2025.

 

Our Current Products Include:

 

Various digital, analog, and quantum light meters and filtration products, including fan speed adjusters, carbon filters and HEPA filtration systems.

  

We have developed a device we call the Ubiquitor, which replaces the functions of traditional digital measurement and sensing products by integrating many digital sensors and measurement tools into one single digital device. We believe the platform represents a technological advancement in the IoT marketplace by integrating large numbers of technologies, including cloud technology, wired and wireless communication technology, software programming, instrumentation technology, artificial intelligence, PLC technology, and sensor networking into a single platform. We believe the result of such integration is a smaller, cheaper, and faster circuit system design than those currently offered in the instrumentation market.

 

Our USIP technology that will make the Ubiquitor possible is an advanced software and hardware integrated instrumentation platform that uses a large-scale modular design approach. The large-scale modular design approach subdivides instruments into a foundation component (a USIP) and architecture-specific components (sensor nodes), which together replaces the functions of traditional instruments at a fraction of their cost. The USIP has an open architecture, incorporating a variety of individual instrument functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors. The platform features the ability to connect potentially thousands of different sensors or probes, addressing major limitations present in traditional instrumentation systems.

 

In July 2025, we signed a contract with Shenzhen Donghui Precision Mold Manufacturing Co. and commenced the mold tooling design for the Universal Smart IoT. This milestone enabled full-scale production and commercialization for the IoT platform which had been developed under our name for many years.

 

AVX IoT Integration

 

We are integrating our own Smart AVX- branded IoT equipment to connect devices across platform systems and to facilitate unified collaboration across audio-visual technologies, digital media technologies, security and surveillance technologies and communication technologies. This approach allows us to service our customers for ease of use, design and integration, and installation and maintenance by utilizing technology that integrates our five core technologies.

 

We have integrated our Smart AVX-branded products across the following strategic sub-sectors: LED Audio-visual Panel Products, large format Smart Multimedia Touch Screens, Pan Tilt Zoom (“PTZ”) Dome Cameras and Network Video Recorders (“NVRs”), and VOIP Phone Services.

 

LED panel digital displays have become an integral and modern-day solution that address the communication, and display demands of residential and commercial customers. Due to the flexible configuration of the LED panels, the modular design that enables the ability to incorporate a design into any size space, the flexibility of the standard size panels to accommodate curvature in the design space, the ability to address transparency in the panel displays and create new areas for delivering media to the public, our LED panel digital displays allow us to easily adapt our display design to spaces of any size and shape, making any customer space a customizable output and connected piece within a system. The option to create full size screens in any space, while addressing any environmental demands, allows us to use state-of-the-art media resulting in immersive, three-dimensional, captivating content delivery within any system

 

 

 

 S-4 

 

 

Smart AVX-branded large format touch screens deliver interactive solutions for a wide variety of industries and applications, including education, healthcare, commercial, residential and government applications. While interacting with a touch display is commonplace in public-consumer spaces, we integrate large format Smart touch screens in small business, commercial applications such as dental offices and other business scenarios. These market applications continue to be underserved with touch-enabled devices, and our installation engineers and design staff can customize solutions for unique business and commercial application projects. The Company, through the Smart AVX brand, offers a myriad of customized choices and a long list of options within the current touch screen technology in a refined product. Our products allow future integration of our core platform technologies, such as the LED digital displays, the Ubiquitor, PTZ Dome Cameras and VOIP Phone Systems, allowing for pinch, zoom, scrolling, and videoconferencing within the touch screen format. 

 

One Touch Financial Software

 

Financial reporting is the annual and quarterly reporting process by which a public company keeps investors aware of a company’s financial condition, allowing them to have the information they need before making an investment decision.

 

Because of the depth and nature of the information they contain, reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q can become time-consuming, especially given the complex processes that require a company’s internal teams to gather large amounts of data across multiple sources. The time and expertise required to complete the process is a substantial burden. SEC reporting deadlines are firm and inflexible.

 

Delays and mistakes in SEC financial reporting can have far-reaching consequences for companies and their shareholders including. SEC review, enforcement actions, and penalties. Late, inaccurate, or incomplete filings can often lead to a drop in the company’s stock price and a decrease in investor confidence.

 

Human data entry of hundreds or thousands of financial numbers in the financial report imposes another challenge and regularly occurring human errors. This risk is compounded by a frequent requirement to update or revise these numbers during the time-constrained review processes and auditing processes prior to submission.

 

Given the complexity and volume of data involved, companies are looking for solutions that not only save cost, and reduce the time and effort required to report in a timely manner but also improve accuracy and compliance.

 

With a single click, our software can:

 

  · Retrieve financial statements from accounting platforms,
  · Reformat data into spreadsheets for consolidated financial reporting,
  · Automatically generate consolidated financials,
  · Populate the word-processed version of SEC filings,
  · Convert the documents to SEC-compliant versions via formatting, and
  · Embed accurate tags into the HTML file — with very limited manual input.

 

Research and Development Efforts of Power Line Communication

 

Power Line Communication (“PLC”) technology is a communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables. One advantage of this technology is that PLC does not require substantial new investment for its communications infrastructure. Rather, PLC utilizes existing power lines, thereby forming a distribution network that already penetrates all residential, commercial and industrial premises. Accordingly, connectivity via PLC technology is potentially the most cost-effective, scalable interconnectivity approach for the IoT. We believe PLC technology can be an integral part of our communication infrastructure for the IoT, which enables reliable, real-time measurements, monitoring, and control. A large variety of appliances may be interconnected by transmitting data through the same wires that provide electrical energy.

 

 

 

 S-5 

 

 

Our patented PLC technology uses an ultra-narrowband spectrum channel of less than 1 KHz to establish a long-distance link between transmitter and receiver. Thus, we believe that our proprietary ultra-narrowband PLC technology will offer a promising alternative to wireless networks and provide the backbone communication infrastructure for IoT devices.

  

Research and Development Efforts of 5G Cellular Technology

 

Our internal research suggests that our ultra-narrowband technology can be leveraged to create a type of 5G wireless communication technology that can achieve both low band 5G coverage and an estimated 1 Gbps high band speed. We employ an ultra-narrow spectrum channel (<1KHz) to establish an ultra-long-distance link between the 5G base station and the receiver which reduces noise and interference entering the bandwidth.

 

Growth Strategy

 

Our goals over the next three years include:

 

  · Raise capital to move into full manufacturing and production for our Ubiquitor device;
     
  · Partner with manufacturers and promote the adoption of our Ubiquitor device in a USIP;
     
  · Acquire a stable market share of the sensor device market;
     
  · Continue performing research and development on PLC technology;
     
  · Focus on building our smart home offerings so that we can reduce the cost of smart home implementation to focus on expanding smart home installation and implementation beyond luxury homes;
     
  · File additional patents to expand our intellectual property portfolio related to the many uses of our Ubiquitor device;
     
  · Finish testing and begin promoting One Touch Financial; and
     
  · File patents to protect our PLC technology.

 

In order to achieve these goals, we intend to focus on the following initiatives:

 

  · Position the Ubiquitor device as the industry standard in universal sensor reading technology;
     
  · Establish strategic supply chain channels to facilitate efficient production operations; and
     
  · Communicate the product and service differentiation through direct networking and effective marketing.

Risks Related to this Offering and the Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Failure to Comply with Nasdaq Capital Market’s Market Value of Public Float Requirement Could Result in Delisting of Our Common Stock

 

On June 30, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The Staff notified the Company that since the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities has fallen below $35,000,000, the Company no longer satisfies the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The notification received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq Capital Market listing.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. If at any time before the Compliance Date, the Company’s market value of listed securities closes at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, then this matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the Compliance Date, the Company will receive notification from the Staff that its securities are subject to delisting.

 

As of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, our common stock is currently not in compliance with the MVLS Rule required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) and (2), companies are required to have Stockholder’s Equity of $2,500,000 or maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of at least $35,000,000. As of June 30, 2025, our Total Stockholder’s Equity was $845,581. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $3.35 per share on September 19, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock, our market value of publicly listed shares was $24,686,957.

 

Even though any net proceeds we may receive in this Offering will help increase our Stockholder’s Equity, it is not anticipated to be enough to fulfill the MVPLS Rule. If we do not regain compliance within the applicable grace period provided by Nasdaq, our common stock could be subject to delisting. Any delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market would likely have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock, would likely limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell shares, and could impair our access to capital markets and we could be considered a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are subject to additional and burdensome sales practice requirements for shareholders and broker-dealers which could materially and adversely affect the marketability of our common stock on the secondary markets. Furthermore, delisting could negatively impact our reputation and make it more difficult for us to raise additional equity or debt financing. Even if we are able to regain compliance, there can be no assurance that we will continue to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements in the future.

 

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the designated Agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common shares during the sales period and limits we may set with the Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued.

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings”, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and, therefore, may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less ways in which you can make a gain on any investment.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may likely prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in the Company will need to come through appreciation of our common stock’s price.

 

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per share of the Common Stock you purchase in the offering.

 

The public offering price per share in this offering may exceed the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 1,058,957 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $3.35 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on September 19, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $3,547,506, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $2.84 per share, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025, after giving effect to this offering, and the assumed offering price.

 

See the section below “Dilution” for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

 

Sales of our common stock in this offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,547,506 from time to time in connection with this immediate offering and up to $100,000,000 in the overall offering. The issuance and sale from time to time of these new shares of common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of common stock in this offering, could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, if any, return for us.

 

As an investor, you may lose all of your investment.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. As an investor, you may never recoup all, or even part, of your investment and you may never realize any return on your investment. You must be prepared to lose all of your investment.

 

 

 

 S-10 

 

 

We expect we will need additional financing following this offering to execute our business plan and fund operations, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

 

As of June 30, 2025, we had total assets of approximately $1.7 million and working capital of approximately $708,000. As of June 30, 2025, our working capital included approximately $1.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We believe that our cash on-hand as of the date of this prospectus supplement, without the financing contemplated in this prospectus supplement, will be sufficient to fund our proposed operating plan, at least, into December 2025. Therefore, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we believe that we will need additional capital to fund our further operations. We intend to seek additional funds through various financing sources, including sales of our Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to further pursue our business plan and we may be unable to continue operations, in which case you may lose your entire investment.

 

You could be diluted from our future issuance of capital stock and derivative securities.

 

As of June 30, 2025, we had 7,386,705 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. We are currently authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On September 15, 2025, our Board and majority shareholders voted to amend and restate our articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of our common stock from 25,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and increase the authorized shares of our preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. On September 18, 2025, we filed a preliminary information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Act to effectuate such amendment and restatement of our articles. The amended and restated articles of incorporation will become effective on the 31st day after we file and mail a definitive information statement to our shareholders. Upon filing and effectiveness of the amended and restated articles of incorporation, a substantially greater number of shares will be authorized for issuance by our Board of Directors. To the extent of such authorization, our Board of Directors will have the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock in the future for such consideration as our Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional common stock or preferred stock in the future may reduce a shareholder’s proportionate ownership and voting power.

 

Substantial future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.

 

Sales of substantial shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares.

 

In the future, we may issue our securities if we need to raise capital in connection with a capital raise or acquisitions. The number of shares of our common stock issued in connection with a capital raise or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock and have a dilutive effect on our shareholders which could have a material negative effect on our stock price.

 

The trading price of our Common Stock may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

 

The trading price of our Common Stock may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, and tariffs. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

 

·fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow;
·changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and
·potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

 

Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.

 

In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sale proceeds of up to $3,547,506 from time to time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the Agent as a source of financing. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We currently intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus primarily for the launch of our One Touch Financial software and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

The amount and timing of our use of the net proceeds from any offerings hereunder will depend on a number of factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering.

 

The net tangible book value of our Company as of June 30, 2025, was $845,581, or approximately $0.12 per share of common stock (based upon 7,218,838 shares of common stock outstanding). Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book value of our Company (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution with respect to net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

After giving effect to the sale and the issuance of 1,058,957 shares of our comment stock for an aggregate net purchase price of $3,547,506 of our common stock, at an assumed public offering price of $3.35 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on September 19, 2025, and after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been $4,253,162, or $0.51 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.39 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.84 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

The following table illustrates the range of immediate dilution to new investors:

 

Assumed offering price per share  $3.35 
Historical Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025  $0.12 
Increase in net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025  $0.39 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025  $0.51 
Dilution per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering  $2.84 

 

The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering. A $0.50 increase in the assumed public offering price of $3.35 per share as shown in the table above, assuming the sale of an aggregate of $3,547,506 of common stock at that price, would decrease the aggregate number of shares sold and increase the dilution per share to new investors to 921,430 and $3.33, respectively, and a decrease of $0.50 in the assumed public offering price of $3.35, as applicable, would increase the aggregate number of shares sold and decrease dilution per share to new investors in this offering to 1,244,738 and $2.35, respectively, assuming that the aggregate dollar amount of the shares offered by us remains the same and after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The foregoing as adjusted information is illustrative only and will be adjusted based on the actual public offering price of this offering determined at pricing.

 

To the extent that the stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2025 have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, investors purchasing our common stock in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

In addition, on September 15, 2025, our Board and majority stockholders voted to amend and restate our articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of our common stock from 25,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and increase the authorized shares of our preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. On September 18, 2025, we filed a preliminary information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Act to effectuate such amendment and restatement of our articles. The amendment and restatement is not yet effective. Assuming it goes effective, and we amend and restate our articles of incorporation, substantial dilution may occur to the stockholders.

 

On September 15, 2025, our Board and majority shareholders voted to amend and restate our articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of our common stock from 25,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and increase the authorized shares of our preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. On September 18, 2025, we filed a preliminary information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Act to effectuate such amendment and restatement of our articles. The amended and restated articles of incorporation will become effective on the 31st day after we file and mail a definitive information statement to our shareholders. Upon filing and effectiveness of the amended and restated articles of incorporation, a substantially greater number of shares will be authorized for issuance by our Board of Directors.

Common Stock

 

As of September 19, 2025, 7,369,241 shares of our common stock were outstanding. The outstanding shares of our common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

 

Dividends. Each share of our common stock is entitled to receive an equal dividend, if one is declared. We cannot provide any assurance that we will declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our board of directors may determine it to be necessary to retain future earnings (if any) to finance our growth.

 

Liquidation. If our Company is liquidated, then assets that remain (if any) after the creditors are paid and the owners of preferred stock receive liquidation preferences (as applicable) will be distributed to the owners of our common stock pro rata.

 

Voting Rights. Each share of our common stock entitles the owner to one vote. There is no cumulative voting. A simple majority can elect all of the directors at a given meeting, and the minority would not be able to elect any director at that meeting.

 

Preemptive Rights. Owners of our common stock have no preemptive rights. We may sell shares of our common stock to third parties without first offering such shares to current stockholders.

 

Redemption Rights. We do not have the right to buy back shares of our common stock except in extraordinary transactions, such as mergers and court approved bankruptcy reorganizations. Owners of our common stock do not ordinarily have the right to require us to buy their common stock. We do not have a sinking fund to provide assets for any buy back.

 

Conversion Rights. Shares of our common stock cannot be converted into any other kind of stock except in extraordinary transactions, such as mergers and court approved bankruptcy reorganizations.

 

Non-assessability. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes

 

Nevada law provides that an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in a corporation may only exercise the voting rights of control shares if those voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the corporation’s disinterested stockholders at a special meeting held upon the request of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person is accorded full voting rights and acquires control shares with at least a majority of all the voting power, then stockholders who did not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights for those control shares are entitled to payment for the fair value of such stockholders’ shares. A “controlling interest” is an interest that is sufficient to enable the acquiring person to exercise at least one-fifth of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. “Control shares” are outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person or associated persons acquire or offer to acquire in an acquisition and those shares acquired during the 90-day period before the person involved became an acquiring person.

 

 

 

 S-14 

 

 

These provisions of Nevada law apply only to “issuing corporations” as defined therein. An “issuing corporation” is a Nevada corporation that (a) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and (b) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we do not have 100 stockholders of record that are residents of Nevada. Therefore, these provisions of Nevada law do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not so apply until such time as both of the foregoing conditions are satisfied. At such time as these provisions of Nevada law may apply to us, they may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

 

Nevada law also restricts the ability of a corporation to engage in any combination with an interested stockholder for three years from when the interested stockholder acquires shares that cause the stockholder to become an interested stockholder, unless the combination or purchase of shares by the interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the stockholder became an interested stockholder. If the combination was not previously approved, then the interested stockholder may only effect a combination after the three-year period if the stockholder receives approval from a majority of the disinterested shares or the offer satisfies certain fair price criteria.

 

An “interested stockholder” is a person who is:

 

  · the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation; or
     
  · an affiliate or associate of the corporation and, at any time within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation.

 

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from these restrictions.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve the actual or threatened change of control of our Company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the potential restructuring or sale of all or a part of our Company. However, these provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of our Company. They also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

 

The Company indemnifies directors, officers, employees and agents, and the heirs of personal representatives of such persons, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person arising out of their function as a director, officer, employee or agent to the Company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into the Sales Agreement with Ladenburg, under which we may offer and sell up to $3,547,506 of shares of our common stock from time to time through Ladenburg acting as agent and/or principal. Sales of shares of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus will be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

Each time we wish to issue and sell shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, we will notify Ladenburg of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales may be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed Ladenburg, unless Ladenburg declines to accept the terms of such notice, Ladenburg has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of Ladenburg under the Sales Agreement to sell shares of our common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.

 

Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may also sell shares of our common stock to Ladenburg as principal for its own account at prices agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of our common stock to Ladenburg as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with Ladenburg.

 

The settlement of sales of shares between us and Ladenburg is generally anticipated to occur on the first trading day following the date on which the sale was made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by and between us and Ladenburg in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of shares of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Ladenburg may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

We will pay Ladenburg a commission in cash of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of shares of our common stock through Ladenburg as our agent. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Ladenburg for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the sales agreement, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of Ladenburg’s legal counsel (as further described in the Sales Agreement) in connection with the filing of a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the “at the market offering” and/or an amendment of the Sales Agreement as well as diligence bring downs. In addition to such fees, at the end of each quarter in which the offering is open we have agreed to pay Ladenburg’s legal counsel up to an additional $3,500 and up to $15,000 for any program “refresh” executed pursuant to this Agreement (which shall mean the filing of a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the Placement Shares and/or an amendment of this Agreement . We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to Ladenburg under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $33,500. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares.

 

Ladenburg will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on each day on which shares of common stock are sold under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to us.

 

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock on our behalf, Ladenburg will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Ladenburg will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify Ladenburg against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments Ladenburg may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

 

 

 

 S-16 

 

 

Ladenburg will not engage in any market making activities involving shares of our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. As our sales agent, Ladenburg will not engage in any transaction that stabilizes shares of our common stock.

 

The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate as permitted therein. We may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five business days’ prior notice and Ladenburg may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five business days’ prior notice at its discretion.

 

This summary of the material provisions of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the Sales Agreement will be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

Ladenburg and its affiliates may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they have received, and may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of its business, Ladenburg may actively trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, Ladenburg may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FCUV.”

Our Company

 

Overview

 

We have developed five proprietary platform technologies that we believe solve the most fundamental problems plaguing the internet of things (“IoT”) industry by: (1) increasing the overall degree of chip integration capabilities by shifting integration from the component level directly to the device level; (2) creating a faster 5G cellular technology by using ultra-narrowband technology; (3) leveraging ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”) technology; (4) developing a natural integrated programming language (“NIPL”) applied to software development, which generates a user interface through machine auto generation technology; and (5) developing a universal smart instrumentation platform (“USIP”).

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

IoT Overview

 

IoT refers to the overarching network created by billions of internet-compatible devices and machines that share data and information worldwide. As the sophistication of both hardware and software in the consumer electronics industry skyrockets, an increasing share of the electronic devices produced around the world are manufactured with internet connectivity. Forecasts suggest that by 2030, around 50 billion of these IoT devices will be in use worldwide, creating a massive web of interconnected devices spanning everything from smartphones to kitchen appliances. We believe that IoT will soon reach a critical limit; we do not have enough human labor and natural resources to support its growth. Twenty billion IoT devices challenge existing resources. To address these challenges, we have developed the technology and products described below.

 

Device on a Chip

 

We have developed an innovative and proprietary “device on a chip” (“DoC”) technology, which combines the required electronic circuits of various integrated circuit components onto a single, integrated chip (“IC”). Our DoC technology works as a single component but is capable of handling entire IoT device functions (excluding sensors and architecture-specific components). Our DoC technology includes both the hardware and software, uses less power when compared to traditional IoT devices, with better performance, and includes smaller overall devices. We believe that incorporating our DoC technology into our product offering, will simplify the manufacturing process, lowering our costs and allowing us to achieve a faster time-to-market. Our planned DoC technology allows devices to achieve interoperability with one another and are interchangeable, both features where traditional IoT devices fall short.

 

5G Ultra-narrowband Technology

 

We are currently developing 5G+, which we believe is a promising alternative wireless technology that uses our innovative ultra-narrowband (“UNB”) wireless technology. UNB technology employs an ultra-narrow spectrum channel (<1 kHz) to establish an ultra-long-distance link between transmitter and receiver. Our internal testing suggests that a single 5G+ subcarrier wave has the potential to provide speeds of 64 to 256 Mbps. Our goal is to increase the speed of 5G networks while simultaneously reducing the number of subcarriers.

 

Ultra-narrowband Power Line Communication (“PLC”) Technology

 

Our patented PLC is an innovative communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables in the electric grid. PLC allows IoT devices to be plugged into power outlets to establish a connection using the existing electrical wiring, permitting data sharing without the substantial investment and inconvenience of running dedicated network cables.

 

Historically, signals propagating along the power line have been subjected to substantial amounts of noise from devices linked to the power supply infrastructure, attenuation, and distortion that make them erratic. According to our internal testing, our ultra-narrowband PLC technology can send and receive data without the customary interference that occurs in standard office and residential environments, achieving speeds of 4 Mbps at a bandwidth of less than 1000 Hz. To test noise interference and disturbance, we utilized six industrial blowers simultaneously, and no significant interference or noise was found.

 

Our PLC technology can reach every node connected via the power lines. Our technology converts virtually every standard wall socket into an access point, in many ways incorporating the best of wired and wireless communication, making it a more consistent and reliable system for crucial and sensitive operations. Our ultra-narrowband PLC technology’s ability to reach long distances via power lines becomes especially useful in commercial networks that require the ability to avoid physical barriers like walls, underground structures, and hills, such as those networks used in industrial facilities, underground structures, golf course irrigation systems, and educational campuses.

Natural Integrated Programming Language (“NIPL”)

 

We have developed a proprietary and patented “user interface machine auto generation platform” (“UIMAGP”) to replace manual software designs currently in use. The UIMAGP simplifies the process of software programming by saving hundreds of lines of code into a micro code that can be saved to a sensor module. When that sensor module is plugged into a USIP, the user interface specification codes saved to the sensor module is sent to the platform and a universal display, such as a smartphone, a computer, or a display unit. The UIMAGP saved on the universal display automatically generates the user interface within milliseconds instead of requiring months or years of software development work.

 

Universal Smart Instrumentation Platform

 

USIP is an advanced hardware and software integrated instrumentation platform with a large-scale modular design approach. USIP integrates many technologies, including cloud technology, wired and wireless communication technology, software programming, instrumentation technology, artificial intelligence, PLC, sensor networking, and IoT technology into a single platform. USIP has primary functionalities and an open architecture capable of incorporating a variety of individual instruments, functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors into a single unit. Instruments, sensors, or probes ranging from a few to several hundred or even thousands in any combination from various industries and vendors can share or reuse the same platform. USIP is designed to be compatible with all instruments, sensors, or probes on the market and capable of monitoring and controlling any combination of instruments or sensors. We believe our USIP will revolutionize the field of instrumentation, measurement, control, and automation.

 

Universal Smart Device (Ubiquitor)

 

The initial, simplified version of universal smart IoT technology is our universal smart device (“Ubiquitor”). Theoretically, a single Ubiquitor can connect many sensors, including a vast number of independent sensors. This allows installations using our platform to be both efficient and cost effective.

 

Current Product Offering and Recent Developments

 

We are also a wholesaler of various digital, analog, and quantum light meters and filtration products, including fan speed adjusters, carbon filters and high-efficiency particulate arrestance filtration systems. We source these products from manufacturers in China and then sell them to a major U.S. distributor, Hydrofarm, who resells our products directly to consumers through retail distribution channels and in some cases, places its own branding on our products.

 

Through AVX Design and Integration, Inc. (“AVX”), an IoT installation and management company based in southern California, and a subsidiary of the Company, we offer residential customers an entire smart home product line. We have finished designing smart devices for lighting control, air conditioner control, sprinkler control, garden light control, garage door control, and heating control and are in the process of developing a swimming pool control device, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide monitor.

 

In an effort to continually develop our product lines, we plan to phase out the traditional, lower-margin products, such as the first-generation digital light meter, and are preparing to launch a new line of products that have been in development for several years. These newer technology products will be released in phases, and we intend that increasing amounts of technology will be layered upon these products. We have developed products in both the controlled agriculture industry and home automation industries, taking advantage of our existing relationships in both sectors.

 

We are building a U.S.-based sales team to market our Smart AVX-branded product lines. The team has already begun marketing our current large format multimedia touch screens, surveillance camera system (cameras and network video recorders (“NVRs”)), indoor and outdoor LED screens for use in commercial and corporate settings. Our products on the home automation front are beginning the production cycle. Smart wall touch light switches, digital control smart wall touch light switches, smart timers, and smart controllers are ready for production, as well as a universal app to connect these smart home devices together.

Our Focus Shenzhen subsidiary has developed an electrode with a “Total Dissolved Solids” (“TDS”) meter design, with applications in all solubility measurements. The designs of our TDS sensor, carbon dioxide sensor, new quantum PAR sensor and total dissolved oxygen sensors are also completed. Our testing against the state-of-the-art sensors on the market suggests to us that the new sensors are at least as good as the best quality sensors on the market. However, we believe that our sensors are much more cost effective.

 

Our software machine auto design team is focused on developing the 3D-user interface machine auto design. Our public reporting automation software is completed and currently undergoing extensive testing. We have developed a Microsoft®-based add-on software that aims to streamline and automate the SEC reporting preparation process. We believe the software will significantly simplify the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K preparation processes and make creating, editing and managing documents both simple and accurate. We are planning to commercialize this software in the first quarter of 2025. A cloud-based version of this software is also under the development.

 

Beyond IoT products, our R&D software team has developed a derivative product (i.e., our software platform for interoperability within IoT), we have developed a complementary office automation software product. This specific software was designed to assist in completing financial reports faster, more accurately, and with greater ease of update, thereby eliminating the need for increased staffing especially in time sensitive projects. It is designed to save CPAs, auditors, accounting, and/or legal a significant amount of time in the preparation of SEC financial reports and other internal financial reporting. Eighty percent (80%) of this software development has been completed and we hope to launch a beta version of this product.

Only the agents or underwriters named in each prospectus supplement are agents or underwriters in connection with the securities being offered thereby.

 

Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

 

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. Any dealer involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

 

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

 

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses. The agents, underwriters and such other third parties may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business, for which they may receive compensation.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to previous filings with the SEC.

 

Common Stock

 

As of December 17, 2024, we had 73,969,505 shares of common stock outstanding held by approximately 355 record holders. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

 

Dividends. Each share of our common stock is entitled to receive an equal dividend, if one is declared. We cannot provide any assurance that we will declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our board of directors may determine it to be necessary to retain future earnings (if any) to finance our growth.

 

Liquidation. If our Company is liquidated, then assets that remain (if any) after the creditors are paid and the owners of preferred stock receive liquidation preferences (as applicable) will be distributed to the owners of our common stock pro rata.

 

Voting Rights. Each share of our common stock entitles the owner to one vote. There is no cumulative voting. A simple majority can elect all of the directors at a given meeting, and the minority would not be able to elect any director at that meeting.

 

Preemptive Rights. Owners of our common stock have no preemptive rights. We may sell shares of our common stock to third parties without first offering such shares to current stockholders.

 

Redemption Rights. We do not have the right to buy back shares of our common stock except in extraordinary transactions, such as mergers and court approved bankruptcy reorganizations. Owners of our common stock do not ordinarily have the right to require us to buy their common stock. We do not have a sinking fund to provide assets for any buy back.

 

Conversion Rights. Shares of our common stock cannot be converted into any other kind of stock except in extraordinary transactions, such as mergers and court approved bankruptcy reorganizations.

 

Non-assessability. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Options and Warrants

 

As of December 24, 2024, we have issued options to purchase an aggregate of 622,140 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.61 per share under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

As of the date of this prospectus we do not have any warrants outstanding.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes

 

Nevada law provides that an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in a corporation may only exercise the voting rights of control shares if those voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the corporation’s disinterested stockholders at a special meeting held upon the request of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person is accorded full voting rights and acquires control shares with at least a majority of all the voting power, then stockholders who did not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights for those control shares are entitled to payment for the fair value of such stockholders’ shares. A “controlling interest” is an interest that is sufficient to enable the acquiring person to exercise at least one-fifth of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. “Control shares” are outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person or associated persons acquire or offer to acquire in an acquisition and those shares acquired during the 90-day period before the person involved became an acquiring person.

 

These provisions of Nevada law apply only to “issuing corporations” as defined therein. An “issuing corporation” is a Nevada corporation that (a) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and (b) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have 100 stockholders of record that are residents of Nevada. Therefore, these provisions of Nevada law do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not so apply until such time as both of the foregoing conditions are satisfied. At such time as these provisions of Nevada law may apply to us, they may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

 

Nevada law also restricts the ability of a corporation to engage in any combination with an interested stockholder for three years from when the interested stockholder acquires shares that cause the stockholder to become an interested stockholder, unless the combination or purchase of shares by the interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the stockholder became an interested stockholder. If the combination was not previously approved, then the interested stockholder may only effect a combination after the three-year period if the stockholder receives approval from a majority of the disinterested shares or the offer satisfies certain fair price criteria.

 

An “interested stockholder” is a person who is:

 

  · the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation; or
     
  · an affiliate or associate of the corporation and, at any time within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation.

  

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from these restrictions.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve the actual or threatened change of control of our Company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the potential restructuring or sale of all or a part of our Company. However, these provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of our Company. They also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

 

The Company indemnifies directors, officers, employees and agents, and the heirs of personal representatives of such persons, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person arising out of their function as a director, officer, employee or agent to the Company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following is a summary of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities we may offer under this prospectus and one or more prospectus supplements. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a prospectus supplement. The following description of debt securities will apply to the debt securities offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities may specify different or additional terms.

 

General

 

The debt securities that we may offer to sell pursuant to this prospectus consist of notes, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness. We may issue senior, senior subordinated, or subordinated debt securities, and in any case may be secured or unsecured. The debt securities will be our direct obligations. Senior securities will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with other indebtedness of ours that is not subordinated. Senior subordinated securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of senior indebtedness, as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement, and may rank equally and ratably with any other senior subordinated indebtedness. Subordinated securities will be subordinated in right of payment to senior subordinated securities.

 

Debt securities may be issued in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time. Unless we provide otherwise, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of such series, for issuances of additional securities of that series. We may issue debt securities with terms different from those of debt securities that we previously issued.

 

Any applicable form of indenture will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and is subject to any amendments or supplements that we may enter into with the trustee(s), however, we may issue debt securities not subject to the indenture provided such terms of debt securities are not otherwise required to be set forth in the indenture. Each indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and we may supplement the indenture from time to time. The material terms of the anticipated form of indenture are summarized below; however, once filed, we refer you to the indenture for a detailed description of these material terms. Additional or different provisions that are applicable to a particular series of debt securities will, if material, be described in a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of debt securities of that series. These provisions may include, among other things and to the extent applicable, the following:

 

  · the title of the debt securities, including, as applicable, whether the debt securities will be issued as senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, any subordination provisions particular to the series of debt securities;
     
  · any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;
     
  · whether the debt securities are senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and applicable subordination provisions, if any;
     
  · whether the debt securities will be secured or unsecured;
     
  · if other than 100% of the aggregate principal amount, the percentage of the aggregate principal amount at which we will sell the debt securities, such as an original issuance discount;
     
  · the date or dates, whether fixed or extendable, on which the principal of the debt securities will be payable;

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

  · the rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which any such interest will accrue, the interest payment dates on which we will pay any such interest, the basis upon which interest will be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and, in the case of registered securities, the record dates for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable;
     
  · the terms, if any, by which holders of the debt securities may convert or exchange the debt securities for our common stock or any other security or property;
     
  · if convertible, the initial conversion price, the conversion period, and any other terms governing such conversion;
     
  · the place or places where the principal of and any premium or interest on the debt securities will be payable and where the debt securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange;
     
  · whether we may, at our option, redeem the debt securities, and if so, the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, we may redeem the debt securities, in whole or in part, pursuant to any sinking fund or otherwise;
     
  · if other than 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities which will be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date thereof or provable in bankruptcy, or, if applicable, which is convertible or exchangeable;
     
  · any obligation we may have to redeem, purchase or repay the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities, and the price or prices at which, the currency in which and the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, the debt securities will be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to any such obligation, and any provision for the remarketing of the debt securities;
     
  · the issuance of debt securities as registered securities or unregistered securities or both, and the rights of the holders of the debt securities to exchange unregistered securities for registered securities, or vice versa, and the circumstances under which any such exchanges, if permitted, may be made;
     
  · the denominations, which may be in United States Dollars or in any foreign currency, in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;
     
  · whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of certificated debt securities, and if so, the form of the debt securities (or forms thereof if unregistered and registered securities are issuable in that series), including the legends required by law or as we deem necessary or appropriate, the form of any coupons or temporary global security which may be issued and the forms of any other certificates which may be required under the indenture or which we may require in connection with the offering, sale, delivery or exchange of the debt securities;
     
  · if other than United States Dollars, the currency or currencies in which payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable with respect to the debt securities will be denominated, payable, redeemable or re-purchasable, as the case may be;
     
  · whether the debt securities may be issuable in tranches;
     
  · the obligations, if any, we may have to permit the conversion or exchange of the debt securities into common stock or other capital stock or property, or a combination thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange will be effected (including conversion price or exchange ratio), and any limitations on the ownership or transferability of the securities or property into which the debt securities may be converted or exchanged;

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

  · if other than the trustee under the indenture, any trustees, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars or any other agents with respect to the debt securities;
     
  · any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the events of default with respect to the debt securities or the right of the trustee or the holders of the debt securities in connection with events of default;
     
  · any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the covenants with respect to the debt securities;
     
  · if the amount of payments of principal of, and make-whole amount, if any, and interest on the debt securities may be determined with reference to an index, the manner in which such amount will be determined;
     
  · whether the debt securities will be issued in whole or in part in the global form of one or more debt securities and, if so, the depositary for such debt securities, the circumstances under which any such debt security may be exchanged for debt securities registered in the name of, and under which any transfer of debt securities may be registered in the name of, any person other than such depositary or its nominee, and any other provisions regarding such debt securities;
     
  · whether, under what circumstances and the currency in which, we will pay additional amounts on the debt securities to any holder of the debt securities who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem such debt securities rather than pay such additional amounts, and the terms of any such option;
     
  · whether the debt securities will be secured by any collateral and, if so, a general description of the collateral and the terms of any related security, pledge or other agreements;
     
  · the persons to whom any interest on the debt securities will be payable, if other than the registered holders thereof on the regular record date therefor; and
     
  · any other material terms or conditions upon which the debt securities will be issued.

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue debt securities in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000, and interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, then the payment will be made on the next business day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally scheduled date. “Business day” means any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in New York, New York, and on which the trustee and commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York.

  

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of our senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior in right of payment and be subordinate to all of our unsubordinated debt.

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the debt securities under the indenture. We may act as paying agent under the indenture.

 

The prospectus supplement will contain a description of United States federal income tax consequences relating to the debt securities, to the extent applicable.

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

Covenants

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any covenants, such as restrictive covenants restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from incurring, issuing, assuming or guarantying any indebtedness or restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends or acquiring any of our or its capital stock.

 

Consolidation, Merger and Transfer of Assets

 

The indenture will permit a consolidation or merger between us and another entity and/or the sale, conveyance or lease by us of all or substantially all of our property and assets, provided that:

 

  · the resulting or acquiring entity, if other than us, is organized and existing under the laws of a United States jurisdiction and assumes all of our responsibilities and liabilities under the indenture, including the payment of all amounts due on the debt securities and performance of the covenants in the indenture;
     
  · immediately after the transaction, and giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture exists; and
     
  · we have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with the transaction, the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture and that all conditions precedent to the transaction contained in the indenture have been satisfied.

 

If we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term “wholly owned subsidiary” means any subsidiary in which we and/or our other wholly owned subsidiaries, if any, own all of the outstanding capital stock.

 

Modification and Waiver

 

Under the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without its consent:

 

  · a change in the stated maturity date of any payment of principal or interest;
     
  · a reduction in the principal amount of or interest on any debt securities;
     
  · an alteration or impairment of any right to convert at the rate or upon the terms provided in the indenture;
     
  · a change in the currency in which any payment on the debt securities is payable;
     
  · an impairment of a holder’s right to sue us for the enforcement of payments due on the debt securities; or
     
  · a reduction in the percentage of outstanding debt securities required to consent to a modification or amendment of the indenture or required to consent to a waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults under the indenture.

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities:

 

  · waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture; and
     
  · waive any past default under the indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities.

 

Events of Default

 

Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, “event of default” under the indenture will mean, with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

 

  · failure to pay interest on any debt security for 30 days after the payment is due;
     
  · failure to pay the principal of any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise;
     
  · failure on our part to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture that applies to the debt securities for 90 days after we have received written notice of the failure to perform in the manner specified in the indenture; and
     
  · certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

 

 

Remedies Upon an Event of Default

 

If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration.

 

The indenture will require us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually, a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer’s knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may direct the time, method and place of:

 

  · conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or
     
  · exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee.

 

The holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:

 

  · the holder has previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;
     
  · the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made a written request of, and offered reasonable indemnity to, the trustee to begin such proceeding;
     
  · the trustee has not started such proceeding within 60 days after receiving the request; and
     
  · no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the trustee under the indenture.

 

However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when due and to institute suit to enforce this payment.

 

Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance

 

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time:

 

  · we have paid the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of any series, except for debt securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid in accordance with the indenture, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, or
     
  · we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated, except for debt securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture, or
     
  · all the debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, or are by their terms are to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums due on the debt securities, on the dates the payments are due or become due under the indenture and the terms of the debt securities,

 

 

 

 20 

 

 

then the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for:

 

  · rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and our right of optional redemption;
     
  · substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities;
     
  · rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any;
     
  · the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture; and
     
  · the rights of the holders of such series of debt securities as beneficiaries thereof with respect to the property so deposited with the trustee payable to all or any of them.

 

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt securities of any series either:

 

  · to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations with respect to such debt securities (“defeasance”), with certain exceptions described below; or
     
  · to be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under such covenants as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and any omission to comply with those obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to such debt securities (“covenant defeasance”).

 

We must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected:

 

  · we must irrevocably deposit with the indenture trustee or other qualifying trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the trustee, trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such debt securities, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums on the due dates for those payments; and
     
  · we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, to be effected with respect to such debt securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred.

 

In connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision for:

 

  · payment of the principal of and interest on such debt securities, if any, appertaining thereto when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments or otherwise),
     
  · the payment of the expenses of the trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust provisions,
     
  · rights of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of such debt securities in accordance with the terms stated in the indenture, and
     
  · continuation of the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee as against the holders of such debt securities as stated in the indenture.

 

The accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a particular series.

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

Global Securities

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary must be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Notices

 

We will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York.

 

Governing Law

 

The particular terms of a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities. Any indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and may be supplemented or amended from time to time following their execution. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be limited in the amount of debt securities that we may issue, and neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning debt securities, you are one of our unsecured creditors.

 

Regarding the Trustee

 

From time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may offer to sell warrants to purchase our common stock or debt securities in one or more series. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, including the name and address of the warrant agent, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

 

  · the title of such warrants;
     
  · the aggregate number of such warrants;
     
  · the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;
     
  · the currency or currencies in which the price of such warrants will be payable;
     
  · the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants;
     
  · the price at which and the currency or currencies in which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;
     
  · the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the number of securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. 

  

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent. 

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
