Overview

Akoustis™ is an early stage, “fabless” company developing, designing and manufacturing innovative filter products for radio frequency, or RF, front-ends for the mobile wireless device industry. We use a fundamentally new piezoelectric resonator technology that we call Bulk ONE™ in the manufacturing of acoustic resonators, the building blocks of high selectivity “RF” filters required to route signals in a smartphone or other mobile or wearable device. Filters are a critical component of the RF front-end, and their use has multiplied with the launch and licensing of 4G/LTE frequency bands. They are used to define the range of frequencies of radio signals that are transmitted (the “passband”) and simultaneously reject unwanted signals. The increasing demand for wireless data and user applications is driving an increase in the number of wireless channels or frequency bands in a single device. Each new band introduced creates an increase in a demand for filters. A high-end smartphone, for example, must filter the transmit and receive paths for 2G, 3G and 4G wireless access methods in up to 15 bands, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and in some cases GPS. Signals in the receive paths must be isolated from one another. The filters also must reject other extraneous signals from numerous sources. The current approach to RF filter manufacturing utilizes thin-film polycrystalline materials (thin-film bulk acoustic resonators, or “FBARs”) with relatively high resistance that dissipate a significant amount of the energy in the signal (referred to as “lossy”), resulting in front-end heat generation and reduced battery life. In order to compensate for such losses, the power amplifier specifications are increased, by as much as a factor of two, which reduces further the battery life and puts more demands on the thermal management of the mobile device.

As the filter count per mobile device increases, these inefficiencies will become more limiting. We plan to use single crystal piezoelectric materials to develop a new class of filters with a fundamental advantage to reduce losses over existing thin film technologies. Our technology has not yet obtained marketing approval or been verified in commercial manufacturing and our RF filters have yet to generate any sales. We have incurred accumulated losses from our inception through June 30, 2015 of $1,268,646. We have fabricated R&D resonators demonstrating the feasibility of our Bulk ONE technology, and are in the process of transitioning the technology into a production-capable wafer fabrication facility for the ultimate purpose of manufacturing our bulk mode acoustic wave filters. Our business model involves “fabless” manufacturing, meaning that we leverage capital investments and capacity of our strategic partners to manufacture our wafers. Once our technology is qualified for manufacturing, we expect to design and sell single crystal filter products using our Bulk ONE technology.

We believe our technology is disruptive to the RF front-end market through the following expected advantages:

Once our Bulk ONE technology is qualified for production, our product focus is on innovative single-band filter products for the growing RF front-end market, which can be used to make duplexer or multiplexer filter products necessary for the Mobile Internet. These products present the greatest near-term potential for commercialization of our technology. According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, the Mobile Internet and the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) is one of the twelve potentially economically disruptive technologies with an estimated economic value impact that could be over $25 trillion.

Organizational History

We were incorporated as Danlax, Corp., in Nevada on April 10, 2013. Prior to the Merger and Split-Off (each as defined below), our business was the development and sales of mobile games.

On April 15, 2015, (i) we changed our name to Akoustis Technologies, Inc., and (ii) we increased our authorized capital stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

On April 23, 2015, we completed a 1.094891-for-1 forward split of our Common Stock in the form of a dividend, with the result that the 11,740,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the stock split became 12,854,024 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter. All share and per share numbers in this prospectus relating to our Common Stock have been adjusted to give effect to this stock split, unless otherwise stated.

On May 22, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, Akoustis Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on May 15, 2015 (“Acquisition Sub”) merged (the “Merger”) with and into Akoustis, Inc., a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 12, 2014. Akoustis, Inc., was the surviving corporation in the Merger and became our wholly owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding stock of Akoustis, Inc., was exchanged for shares of our Common Stock, as described in more detail under “Description of Business – Merger Agreement.”

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement (defined below), we transferred our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our pre-Merger majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by him and cancellation of 9,854,019 shares of our Common Stock, as described in more detail under “Description of Business – The Offering.”

As a result of the Merger and Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Merger business and acquired the business of Akoustis, Inc., and have continued the existing business operations of Akoustis, Inc., as a publicly-traded company under the name Akoustis Technologies, Inc.

On May 22, 2015, we held a closing under a private placement offering (the “Offering”) in which we sold 3,531,104 shares of our Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. On June 10, 2015, we completed a second and final closing of the Offering in which we sold an aggregate of 261,000 additional shares of our Common Stock. In total, we sold an aggregate of 3,792,104 shares of Common Stock in the Offering. Additional information concerning the Offering is described in more detail under “Description of Business – The Offering.”

In accordance with “reverse merger” accounting treatment, our historical financial statements as of period ends, and for periods ended, prior to the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Akoustis, Inc., prior to the Merger in all future filings with the SEC.

On May 22, 2015, we also changed our fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on July 31 of each year to one ending on March 31 of each year, which is the fiscal year end of Akoustis, Inc.

Prior to the Merger, we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). As a result of the Merger, we have ceased to be a shell company. The information contained in our Current Report dated May 22, 2015, together with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC, constituted the current “Form 10 information” necessary to satisfy the conditions contained in Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Capital Needs

The Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its operations through July of 2016.  However, there is no assurance that the Company’s projections and estimates are accurate.  In the event that the Company does not receive anticipated proceeds from research grants or such grant payments are delayed, or the Company experiences costs in excess of estimates to continue its research and development plan, it is possible that the Company would not have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the next year. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company is actively managing and controlling the Company’s cash outflows.

About This Offering

This prospectus relates to the public offering, which is not being underwritten, by the selling stockholders listed in this prospectus, of up to 7,876,310 shares of our common stock.  Of the shares being offered, 5,655,608 are presently issued and outstanding, and 324,650 are issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants and 1,896,052 shares represent a good faith estimate of the number of shares which may become issuable pursuant to the price protected anti-dilution provision applicable to 3,792,104 of the 5,655,608 shares referenced above. Such 1,896,052 shares represent the number of shares that would become issuable were we to trigger the application of the anti-dilution provision by issuing common stock or common stock equivalents at a price of $1.00 per share. We have no present expectation that we will trigger such anti-dilution provision. The shares offered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders from time to time in the open market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders will be borne by them.

Selected Risks Associated With an Investment in Shares of Our Common Stock

An investment in shares of our common stock is highly speculative and is subject to numerous risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Some of these risks include:

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. We expect that we will remain an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future, but cannot retain our emerging growth company status indefinitely and will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company on or before December 31, 2019. We refer to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 herein as the “JOBS Act,” and references herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from specified disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

These exemptions include:

For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we expect that we will take advantage of the reduced disclosure obligations available to us as a result of that classification. We have taken advantage of certain of those reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

An emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public reporting companies.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available for smaller reporting companies.

THE OFFERING

(1)  As of September 25, 2015.

(2)  Consists of 5,655,608 outstanding shares of common stock, 324,650 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants, and up to 1,896,052 shares of common stock which may become issuable pursuant to the price protected anti-dilution provision applicable to 3,792,104 of the 5,655,608 outstanding shares referenced herein.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in shares of our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk.  We face a variety of risks that may affect our operations or financial results and many of those risks are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict.  Before investing in our common stock you should carefully consider the following risks, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  In that case, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment.  Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should invest in our common stock. 

This prospectus contains certain statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of our company. Prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should specifically consider the various factors identified in this prospectus, including the matters set forth below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

If any of the following or other risks materialize, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected which, in turn, could adversely impact the value of our Common Stock. In such a case, investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Prospective investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable for them in light of the information contained in this prospectus and the financial resources available to them. The risks described below do not purport to be all the risks to which the Company or the Company could be exposed. This section is a summary of certain risks and is not set out in any particular order of priority. They are the risks that we presently believe are material to the operations of the Company. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or which we presently deem immaterial may also impair the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to our Business and the Industry in Which We Operate

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our business and future prospects.

We are an early stage company that has not yet begun any commercial operations. Historically, we have been a shell company with no operating history and no assets other than cash. Upon consummation of the Merger with Akoustis, we redirected our business focus towards the development of advanced single crystal bulk acoustic wave filter products for RF front-ends for use in mobile wireless device industry. Although Akoustis since its inception focused its activity on research and development (“R&D”) of high efficiency acoustic wave resonator technology utilizing single crystal piezoelectric materials, this technology has not yet obtained marketing approval or been verified in commercial manufacturing, and its RF filters have not generated any sales.

Since our potential customers and future demand for our products are based on estimates of planned operations rather than experience, it is difficult for our management and our investors to accurately forecast and evaluate our future prospects and our revenues. Our proposed operations are therefore subject to all of the risks inherent in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, the development of a product, as well as those risks that are specific to our business in particular. An investment in an early stage company such as ours involves a degree of risk, including the possibility that entire investment may be lost. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that following the Merger, we will not be able to develop functional and scalable products, or that although functional and scalable, our products and/or services will not be accepted in the market. To successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that the Company can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, the Company and its business, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely affected.

We may not generate revenues or achieve profitability.

We have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect to continue to have negative cash flow from operations. We have never generated any revenues; our only income has been from R&D grants. We experienced net losses of approximately $0.44 million for the period from May 12, 2014 (inception) to March 31, 2015. We have accumulated losses to date of approximately $0.4 million. Our future profitability will depend on our ability to create a sustainable business model and generate revenues, which is subject to a number of factors, including our ability to successfully implement our strategies and execute our R&D plan, our ability to implement our improved design and cost reductions into manufacturing of our RF filters, the availability of funding, market acceptance of our products, consumer demand for end products incorporating our products, our ability to compete effectively in a crowded field, our ability to respond effectively to technological advances by timely introducing our new technologies and products and global economic and political conditions.

Our future profitability also depends on our expense levels, which are influenced by a number of factors, including the resources we devote to developing and supporting our projects and potential products, the continued progress of our research and development of potential products, our ability to improve research and development efficiencies, license fees or royalties we may be required to pay, and the potential need to acquire licenses to new technology, the availability of intellectual property for licensing or acquisition, or to use our technology in new markets, which could require us to pay unanticipated license fees and royalties in connection with these licenses.

Our development and commercialization efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenues to offset higher expenses. These expenses, among other things, may cause our net income and working capital to decrease. If we fail to generate revenue and manage our expenses, we may never achieve profitability, which would adversely and materially affect our ability to provide a return to our investors

The industry and the markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change.

The markets in which we intend to compete are intensely competitive. We will operate primarily in the industry that designs and produces semiconductor components for wireless communications and other wireless devices, which is subject to rapid changes in both product and process technologies based on demand and evolving industry standards. The intended markets for our products are characterized by:

The continuous evolutions of these technologies and frequent introduction of new products and enhancements have generally resulted in short product life cycles for wireless semiconductor products, in general, and for RF front-end products, in particular. Our products could become obsolete or less competitive sooner than anticipated because of a faster than anticipated change in one or more of the above-noted factors. Therefore, in order for our RF filters to be competitive and achieve market acceptance, we need to keep pace with rapid development of new process technologies, which requires us to:

Our products may not be accepted in the market.

Although we believe that our Bulk ONE acoustic wave resonator technology that utilizes single crystal piezoelectric materials will provide material advantages over existing RF filters and are currently developing various methods of integration suitable for implementation of this technology to RF filters, we cannot be certain that our RF filters will be able to achieve or maintain market acceptance. While we have fabricated R&D resonators that demonstrate the feasibility of our Bulk ONE technology, we are still in the process of transitioning this technology into a production-capable wafer fabrication facility for manufacturing of our RF filters, and this technology is not verified yet in practice or on a commercial scale. There are also no records that can demonstrate our ability to successfully overcome many of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving fields. In addition to our limited operating history, we will depend on a limited number of manufacturers and customers for a significant portion of our revenue in the future. Each of these factors may adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and achieve our business goals.

The successful development of our Bulk ONE technology following the Merger and market acceptance of our RF filters will be highly complex and will depend on the following principal competitive factors, including our ability to:

If we are unsuccessful in accomplishing these objectives, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and potential competitors. As a result, our Bulk ONE technology and our RF filters may not be accepted in the market and we may never attain profitability.

We will face intense competition, which may cause pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and loss of market share and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will compete with U.S. and international semiconductor manufacturers and fabless mobile semiconductor companies of all sizes in terms of resources and market share, some of whom have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. We expect competition in our markets to intensify, as new competitors enter the RF component market, existing competitors merge or form alliances, and new technologies emerge. Our competitors may introduce new solutions and technologies that are superior to our BAW technology, are verified on a commercial scale, and have achieved widespread market acceptance. Certain of our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. This implementation may require us to modify the manufacturing process for our filters, design new products to more stringent standards, and redesign some existing products, which may prove difficult for us and result in delays in product deliveries and increased expenses.

Increased competition could also result in pricing pressures, declining average selling prices for our RF filters, decreased gross margins and loss of market share. We will need to make substantial investments to develop these enhancements and technologies, and we cannot assure investors that we will have funds available for these investments or that these enhancements and technologies will be successful. If a competing technology emerges that is, or is perceived to be, superior to our existing technology and we are unable to adapt to these changes and to compete effectively, our market share and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, and our business, revenue, and results of operations could be harmed.

Changes in general economic conditions, together with other factors, cause significant upturns and downturns in the industry, and our business, therefore, may also experience cyclical fluctuations in the future.

From time to time, changes in general economic conditions, together with other factors, may cause significant upturns and downturns in the semiconductor industry. These fluctuations are due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control:

As a result, the demand for our products can change quickly and in ways we may not anticipate, and our business, therefore, may also experience cyclical fluctuations in the future operating results. In addition, future downturns in the electronic systems industry could adversely impact our revenue and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel to contribute to the development, manufacture and sale of our products, we may not be able to effectively operate our business.

As the source of our technological and product innovations, our key technical personnel represent a significant asset. We believe that our future success is highly dependent on the continued services of our current key officers, employees, and Board members, as well as our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. The loss of their services could have a detrimental effect on our operations. Specifically, the loss of the services of Jeffrey Shealy, our President and CEO, Prof. Steve Denbaars, our director, Mark Boomgarden, our Vice President of Operations, David Aichele, our Vice President of Business Development, Prof. James Shealy, the Chair of our Scientific Advisor Board, Cindy Payne, our Chief Financial Officer, Richard Ogawa, our Patent Counsel, any major change in our Board or management, or our inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business. The competition for management and technical personnel is intense in the wireless semiconductor industry, and therefore we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel necessary for the design, development, manufacture and sale of our products.

We expect to substantially rely on third parties to manufacture our RF filters.

We employ a “fabless” business strategy, meaning that we do not own a semiconductor fabrication facility, or fab, and do not currently have, nor do we plan to acquire, the infrastructure or capability internally, such as our own manufacturing facilities, to manufacture our wafers and our filters for use in the conduct of commercial quantities. Instead, we leverage capital investments and capacity of manufacturers to fabricate our wafers. Therefore, success of implementation of our single-crystal BAW technology for manufacturing our RF filters and its commercial production will substantially depend upon our ability to develop, maintain and expand our strategic relationships with manufacturers that will fabricate wafers using our design and incorporate them into their products. Any impairment in our relationship with these manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. Although we have entered into a joint development agreement and a foundry agreement with Global Communication Semiconductors, LLC (“GCS”), and may explore other plans to enter into agreements with more manufacturers, to fabricate our RF filters for R&D and for commercial sales, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain those relationships on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Since we expect to depend upon one or a limited number of these manufacturers for a signification portion of our revenue in the future, we could experience delays in the launch and commercial productions of our RF filters if we are unable to maintain those relationships.

Reliance on a limited number of manufacturers also may expose us to the following risks:

Each of these risks could delay the commercialization of our RF filters and its market acceptance or result in higher costs or deprive us of potential product revenues.

We rely on our independent contractors in adequately performing their contractual obligations, meeting expected deadlines and applicable regulatory requirements

We depend on our independent contractors to adequately perform a substantial part of our projects and successfully carry their contractual duties and obligations. However, these contractors may not assign as a great priority a process of developing of our technology in accordance with our levels of quality control or meet expected deadlines, may not devote sufficient time to develop our technology, or may not pursue their contractual obligations as diligently as we would if we were undertaking such activities ourselves. They may also establish relationships with other commercial entities, some of whom may compete with us. If our contractors assist our competitors to our detriment, our competitive position would be harmed. If our independent contractors fail to perform their contractual duties at acceptable quality levels or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to a failure to adhere to our protocols, legal and regulatory requirements or for other reasons, the development and commercialization of our filters could be stopped, delayed, or made less profitable. As a result, our operations and the commercial prospects for marketing of our RF filters would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenues could be delayed.

Product defects could adversely affect the results of our operations and may expose us to product liability claims.

The fabrication of the RF filters is a complex and precise process. While we intend to supply design and to monitor fabrication of our RF filters by our manufacturers, we may not be able to monitor their quality control, their quality assurance and their qualified personnel. If any of our manufacturers fail to successfully manufacture wafers that conform to our design specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), it may result in substantial risk of undetected flaws in components or other materials used by our manufacturers during fabrication of our filters and could lead to product defects and costs to repair or replace these parts or materials. Any such failure by our manufacturers would significantly impact our ability to develop and implement our technology and to improve performance of our RF filters. Our inability to timely find a substitute manufacturer that can comply with such requirements could result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products.

We also could be subject to product liability lawsuits if the wireless devices containing our RF filters cause injury. Recently interest groups have requested that the FCC investigate claims that wireless communications technologies pose health concerns and cause interference with airbags, hearing aids and medical devices. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product or inadequate disclosure of risks related to the use of our product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts.

If we are unable to establish effective marketing and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our RF filters, we may not be able to effectively generate product revenues.

We have no experience selling, marketing or distributing products and currently have no internal marketing and sales force. In order to launch and commercialize our technology and our RF filters, we must build on a territory-by-territory basis marketing, sales, distribution, managerial and other non-technical capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services, and we may not be successful in doing so. Therefore, we may choose to collaborate, either globally or on a territory-by-territory basis, with third parties that have direct sales forces and established distribution systems, either to augment our own sales force and distribution systems or in lieu of our own sales force and distribution systems. If so, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to enter into and maintain collaborative relationships for such capabilities, such collaborator’s strategic interest in the products under development and such collaborator’s ability to successfully market and sell any such products.

If we are unable to enter into such arrangements when needed on acceptable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our filters. Further, to the extent that we depend on third parties for marketing and distribution, any revenues we receive will depend upon the efforts of such third parties, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. If we decide in the future to establish an internal sales and marketing team with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities to commercialize our RF filters, it could be expensive and time consuming and would require significant attention of our executive officers to manage. We may also not have sufficient resources to allocate to the sales and marketing of our filters. Any failure or delay in the development of sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, either through collaboration with one or more third parties or through internal efforts, would adversely impact the commercialization of any of our products that we obtain approval to market. As a result, our future product revenue would suffer and we may incur significant additional losses.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If we fail to obtain, maintain and enforce our intellectual property rights, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary technologies and may lose access to technologies critical to our products.

Our long-term success largely depends on our ability to market technologically competitive products which, in turn, largely depends on our ability to obtain and maintain adequate intellectual property protection and to enforce our proprietary rights without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. While we rely upon a combination of our patent applications currently pending with the United State Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), our trademarks, copyrights, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect the intellectual property related to our technologies, there can be no assurance that

We have a limited number of patent applications which may not result in issued patents.

We have seven pending patent applications in the United States; however, there is no assurance that any of these applications or our future patent applications will result in patents being issued, or that any patents that may be issued as a result of existing or future applications will provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage to us.

The process of seeking patent protection in the United States and abroad can be long and expensive. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot be certain at the time of filing that we are the first to file any patent application related to our single crystal acoustic wave filter technology. In addition, patent applications are often published as part of the patent application process, even if such applications do not issue as patents. When published, such applications will become publicly available, and proprietary information disclosed in the application will become available to others. While at present we are unaware of competing patent applications, competing applications could potentially surface.

Even if all of our pending patent applications are granted and result in registration of our patents, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced, or that the scope of any patent rights could provide a sufficient degree of protection that could permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage with respect to these products and technologies. For example, we cannot predict:

As a result, the patent applications we own may fail to result in issued patents in the United States. Third parties may challenge the validity, enforceability or scope of any issued patents or issued to us in the future, which may result in those patents being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. Even if they are unchallenged, our patents and patent applications may not adequately protect our intellectual property or prevent others from developing similar products that do not infringe the claims made in our patents. If the breadth or strength of protection provided by the patents we hold or pursue is threatened, we may not be able to prevent others from offering similar technology and products in the RF front-ends mobile market and our ability to commercialize our RF filters with technology protected by those patents could be threatened.

We have not yet applied for any patents outside of the United States, which may significantly limit our ability to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary information or infringement of our intellectual property rights in countries outside of the United States where our filters may be sold in the future. If we file foreign patent applications related to our pending U.S. patent applications or to our issued patents in the United States, if any, these applications may be contested and fail to result in issued patents outside of the United States or we will be required to narrow our claims. Even if some or all of our patent applications are granted outside of the United States and resulted in the issued patents, effective enforcement of rights granted by these patents in some countries may not be available due to the differences in foreign patent and other laws concerning intellectual property rights, a relatively weak legal regime protecting intellectual property rights in these countries, and because it is difficult, expensive and time-consuming to police unauthorized use of our intellectual property when infringers are overseas. This failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights outside of the United States could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.

Competitors may infringe our patents or the patents of our potential licensors. To attempt to stop infringement or unauthorized use, we may need to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time consuming and distract management.

If we pursue any infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours or our licensors is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the relevant technology on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question. Additionally, any enforcement of our patents may provoke third parties to assert counterclaims against us. Some of our current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforcing their intellectual property rights than we have. Moreover, the legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, which could reduce the likelihood of success of, or the amount of damages that could be awarded resulting from, any infringement proceeding we pursue in any such jurisdiction. To date, we have not filed any patent applications in jurisdictions other than the United States. An adverse result in any infringement litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable, or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing, which could limit the ability of our filters to compete in those jurisdictions.

Interference proceedings provoked by third parties or brought by the USPTO to determine the priority of inventions with respect to our patents or patent applications. An unfavorable outcome could require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to license rights to use it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We need to protect our trademark rights and disclosure of our trade secrets to prevent competitors taking advantage of our goodwill.

We believe that the protection of our trademark rights is an important factor in product recognition, protecting our brand, maintaining goodwill, and maintaining or increasing market share. We currently have two trademarks that we have filed to register with USPTO, the Akoustis™ and Bulk ONE™ marks, and may expend substantial cost and effort in an attempt to register new trademarks and maintain and enforce our trademark rights. If we do not adequately protect our rights in our trademarks from infringement, any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired.

Third parties may claim that the sale or promotion of our products, when and if we have any, may infringe on the trademark rights of others. Trademark infringement problems occur frequently in connection with the sale and marketing of products in the RF front-ends mobile industry. If we become involved in any dispute regarding our trademark rights, regardless of whether we prevail, we could be required to engage in costly, distracting and time-consuming litigation that could harm our business. If the trademarks we use are found to infringe upon the trademark of another company, we could be liable for damages and be forced to stop using those trademarks, and as result, we could lose all the goodwill that has been developed in those trademarks.

In addition to the protection afforded by patents and trademarks, we seek to rely on copyright, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect proprietary know-how that is not patentable, processes for which patents are difficult to enforce and any other elements of our processes that involve proprietary know-how, information or technology that is not covered by patents. For Akoustis, this includes particularly chip layouts, circuit designs, resonator layouts and implementation, and membrane definition. Although we require all of our employees and certain consultants and advisors to assign inventions to us, and all of our employees, consultants, advisors and any third parties who have access to our proprietary know-how, information or technology to enter into confidentiality agreements, our trade secrets and other proprietary information may be disclosed or competitors may otherwise gain access to such information or independently develop substantially equivalent information. If we are unable to prevent material disclosure of the intellectual property related to our technologies to third parties, we will not be able to establish or maintain the competitive advantage that we believe is provided by such intellectual property, which would weaken our competitive market position, and materially adversely affect our business and operational results.

Development of certain technologies with our manufacturers may result in restrictions on jointly-developed intellectual property.

In order to maintain and expand our strategic relationship with manufacturers of our filters, we may, from time to time, develop certain technologies jointly with these manufacturers and file for further intellectual property protection and/or seek to commercialize such technologies. We entered into the Joint Development Agreement with GCS and may enter in the future into joint development agreements with other manufacturers which provide(s) for the joint development works and joint intellectual property rights by us and by such manufacturer. Such agreements may restrict our commercial use of such intellectual property, or may require written consent from, or a separate agreement with, that manufacturer. In other cases, we may not have any rights to use intellectual property solely developed and owned by such manufacturer or another third party. If we cannot obtain commercial use rights for such jointly-owned intellectual property or intellectual property solely owned by these manufacturers, our future product development and commercialization plans may be adversely affected.

We may be subject to claims of infringement, misappropriation or misuse of third party intellectual property that, regardless of merit, could result in significant expense and loss of our intellectual property rights.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by the vigorous pursuit and protection of intellectual property rights. We have not undertaken a comprehensive review of the rights of third parties in our field. From time to time, we may receive notices or inquiries from third parties regarding our products or the manner in which we conduct our business suggesting that we may be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise misusing patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights. Any claims that our technology infringe, misappropriate or otherwise misuse the rights of third parties, regardless of their merit or resolution, could be expensive to litigate or settle and could divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of our business. We may not prevail in such proceedings given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. If such proceedings result in an adverse outcome, we could be required to:

In addition, our agreements with prospective customers and manufacturing partners may require us to indemnify such customers and manufacturing partners for third party intellectual property infringement claims. Pursuant to such agreements, we may be required to defend such customers and manufacturing partners against certain claims that could cause us to incur additional costs. While we endeavor to include as part of such indemnification obligations a provision permitting us to assume the defense of any indemnification claim, not all of our current agreements contain such a provision and we cannot provide any assurance that our future agreements will contain such a provision, which could result in increased exposure to us in the case of an indemnification claim.

Defense of any intellectual property infringement claims against us, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a significant diversion of resources from our business. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may have to pay substantial damages, obtain one or more licenses from third parties, limit our business to avoid the infringing activities, pay royalties and/or redesign our infringing technology dates or alter related formulations, processes, methods or other technologies, any or all of which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. The occurrence of any of the above events could prevent us from continuing to develop and commercialize our filters and our business could materially suffer.

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

We have a history of losses, will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We have incurred losses since our incorporation and formation in 2014. We do not expect meaningful revenues until at least the end of 2016. If our forecasts for the Company prove incorrect, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company will be materially and adversely affected. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue the development of our patent-pending single crystal acoustic wave filter technology, invest in marketing, sales and distribution of our RF filters to grow our business, acquire customers, commercialize our technology in the mobile wireless market. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in generating sufficient revenues to offset these higher expenses. In addition, we expect to incur significant expenses related to regulatory requirements, ability to obtain, protect, and defend our intellectual property right.

We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations.

To date, we have financed our operations through a mix of investments from private investors, the incurrence of debt, and grant funding, and we expect to continue to utilize such means of financing for the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our then existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of indebtedness, we would likely become subject to covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support research and development, or commercialization activities. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our R&D programs for our acoustic wave filter technology or any future commercialization efforts. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects, and could cause our business to fail.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and accumulated deficit and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need them, and we are unable to commercialize our products giving us access to additional cash resources, we will be required to curtail our operations, which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk Related to Managing Any Growth We May Experience

We may engage in future acquisitions that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our shareholders and harm our financial condition and operating results.

While we currently have no specific plans to acquire any other businesses, we may, in the future, make acquisitions of, or investments in, companies that we believe have products or capabilities that are a strategic or commercial fit with our current business or otherwise offer opportunities for our company. In connection with these acquisitions or investments, we may:

We may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If we do complete an acquisition, we cannot assure you that it will ultimately strengthen our competitive position or that it will be viewed positively by customers, financial markets or investors. Furthermore, future acquisitions could pose numerous additional risks to our expected operations, including:

Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures, and our operations are vulnerable to interruption by natural disasters, terrorist activity, power loss and other events beyond our control, the occurrence of which could materially harm our business.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of our contractors and consultants are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access as well as telecommunication and electrical failures. While we have not experienced any such system failure, accident or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our R&D. If any disruption or security breach resulted in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and/or the further development of our new technology for RF filters could be delayed.

We are also vulnerable to accidents, electrical blackouts, labor strikes, terrorist activities, war and other natural disasters and other events beyond our control, and we have not undertaken a systematic analysis of the potential consequences to our business as a result of any such events and do not have an applicable recovery plan in place. We currently do not carry other business interruption insurance that would compensate us for actual losses from interruptions of our business that may occur, and any losses or damages incurred by us could cause our business to materially suffer.

Risks Related to Regulatory Requirements

Wireless communication industry is subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and review. Maintaining compliance with these requirements may result in significant additional expense to us, and any failure to maintain such compliance could cause our business to suffer.

Our business and products in development are subject to regulation by various federal and state governmental agencies, including the radio frequency emission regulatory activities of the FCC, the consumer protection laws of the Federal Trade Commission, the import/export regulatory activities of the Department of Commerce, the product safety regulatory activities of the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the environmental regulatory activities of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The rules and regulations of the FCC limit the RF used by and level of power emitting from electronic equipment. Our RF filters, as a key element enabling consumer electronic smartphone equipment, are required to comply with these FCC rules, and may require certification, verification or registration of our RF filters with the FCC. Certification and verification of new equipment requires testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the FCC’s rules. The equipment must be labeled according to the FCC’s rules to show compliance with these rules. Testing, processing of the FCC’s equipment certificate or FCC registration and labeling may increase development and production costs and could delay the implementation of our Bulk ONE acoustic wave resonator technology for our RF filters and the launch and commercial productions of our filters into the U.S. market. Electronic equipment permitted or authorized to be used by us through FCC certification or verification procedures must not cause harmful interference to licensed FCC users, and may be subject to RF interference from licensed FCC users. Selling, leasing or importing non-compliant equipment is considered a violation of FCC rules and federal law, and violators may be subject to an enforcement action by the FCC. Any failure to comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the FCC could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition by increasing our compliance costs and/or limiting our sales in the United States.

The semiconductor and electronics industries also have been subject to increasing environmental regulations. A number of domestic and foreign jurisdictions seek to restrict the use of various substances, a number of which have been used in our products in development or processes. For example, the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive now requires that certain substances be removed from all electronics components. Removing such substances requires the expenditure of additional research and development funds to seek alternative substances, as well as increased testing by third parties to ensure the quality of our products and compliance with the RoHS Directive. While we have implemented a compliance program to ensure our product offering meets these regulations, there may be instances where alternative substances will not be available or commercially feasible, or may only be available from a single source, or may be significantly more expensive than their restricted counterparts. Additionally, if we were found to be non-compliant with any such rule or regulation, we could be subject to fines, penalties and/or restrictions imposed by government agencies that could adversely affect our operating results. Our cost to maintain compliance with existing environmental regulations is expected to be nominal based on our business structure in which we outsource a majority of our operations to suppliers that are responsible for meeting environmental regulations. We will continue to monitor our quality program and expand as required to maintain compliance and ability to audit our supply chain.

Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could require us to pay contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. These enforcement actions could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees.

There could be an adverse change or increase in the laws and/or regulations governing our business.

We and our operating subsidiary are subject to various laws and regulations in different jurisdictions, and the interpretation and enforcement of laws and regulations are subject to change. We also will be subject to different tax regulations in each of the jurisdictions where we will conduct our business or where our management or the management of our operating subsidiary is located. We expect that the scope and extent of regulation in these jurisdictions, as well as regulatory oversight and supervision, will generally continue to increase. There can be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in any jurisdiction will not have a material adverse effect on us or hinder us in the operation of its business. In addition, we may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to us.

These current or future laws and regulations may impair our research, development or production efforts or impact the research activities we pursue. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions, which could cause our financial condition to suffer.

Investment Risks

You could lose all of your investment.

An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should be aware that the value of an investment in the Company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment in the Company will fully reflect its underlying value. You could lose your entire investment.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders and the purchasers of our common stock offered hereby. The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We will need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price you paid for your stock.

The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a sale or merger of the Company.

Our Board of Directors will be authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences designated by it. See “Preferred Stock” in the section of this prospectus titled “Description of Securities.” Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company. The ability of the Board to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

There currently is a limited market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active public market will ever develop. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

There is currently only a very limited public market for shares of our common stock, and an active trading market may never develop. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets is a thinly traded market and lacks the liquidity of certain other public markets with which some investors may have more experience. We may not ever be able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, which is often a more widely-traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our common stock listed. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing, and remains listed on the OTC Markets or is suspended from the OTC Markets, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Our stock may be traded infrequently and in low volumes, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the quoted bid prices if you need to sell your shares.

Until our Common stock is listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, we expect our common stock to remain eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets, or on another over-the-counter quotation system, or in the “pink sheets.” In those venues, however, the shares of our common stock may trade infrequently and in low volumes, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. An investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock or to sell his or her shares at or near bid prices or at all. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the liquidity of our common stock. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise capital.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

Cash dividends have never been declared or paid on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares of common stock. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved, exemption from the requirement of auditor attestation in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and exemption from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than what is available with respect to other public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with the effective dates of those accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter, (2) the end of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more during such fiscal year, (3) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period or (4) December 31, 2019, the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements. Some investors may find our common stock less attractive because we rely on these exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Being a public company is expensive and administratively burdensome.

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, rules and regulations related thereto, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Complying with these laws and regulations requires the time and attention of our Board of Directors and management, and increases our expenses. Among other things, we are required to:

The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders is expensive and much greater than that of a privately-held company, and compliance with these rules and regulations may require us to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel, and will involve a material increase in regulatory, legal and accounting expenses and the attention of management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, being a public company makes it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain this coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executives and members of our Board of Directors, particularly directors willing to serve on an audit committee which we expect to establish.

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting could materially adversely affect us.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to include in our annual reports on Form 10-K an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, at such time, if any, as we are no longer a “smaller reporting company,” our independent registered public accounting firm will have to attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such internal control over financial reporting. Based upon the last evaluation conducted as of March 31, 2015, our management at the time concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. However, as a result of the Merger, we are under new management, and our new management has not yet conducted a new formal evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and has not been able to make its own assessment on whether the internal controls as of 2014 or 2015 were effective. In addition, we continue at the present time not to have an audit committee.

While we intend to diligently and thoroughly document, review, test and improve our internal control over financial reporting in order to ensure compliance with Section 404, management may not be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Furthermore, even if management were to reach such a conclusion, if our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, or if the independent auditors interpret the requirements, rules or regulations differently than we do, then they may decline to attest to management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified. Any of these events could result in a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could negatively affect the price of our common stock.

In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and (if required in future) our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404. Our compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to retain the services of additional accounting and financial staff or consultants with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge to satisfy the ongoing requirements of Section 404. We intend to review the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and make any changes management determines appropriate, including to achieve compliance with Section 404 by the date on which we are required to so comply.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in the table below of (a) up to 3,792,104 outstanding shares of common stock sold to investors in our 2015 private placement offering of common stock (the “2015 Offering”), (b) up to 1,863,504 outstanding shares of common stock held by certain other stockholders, (c) up to 324,650 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants issued to the placement agent in our 2015 Offering, and (d) up to 1,896,052 shares of common stock which may become issuable pursuant to the price protected anti-dilution provision (the “Anti-Dilution Provision”) applicable to the 3,792,104 outstanding shares referenced in (a) above (See “Description of Business – The Offering” for the terms of the anti-dilution provision).

The selling stockholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the columns “Shares of common stock owned prior to this Offering and Registered hereby” and “Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants owned Prior to this Offering and Registered hereby” in the table below. The table does not include the up to 1,896,052 shares of common stock which may become issuable in connection with the Anti-Dilution Provision. The table will be revised in the event that the Anti-Dilution Provision is triggered.

Certain selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any profits realized by such selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

The table below has been prepared based upon the information furnished to us by the selling stockholders as of the date of this prospectus.  The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly.  We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of their common stock under the offering contemplated by this prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock.  The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby.  Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after September 25, 2015 (the “Determination Date”), through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.

Unless otherwise set forth below, based upon the information furnished to us, (a) the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, (b) no selling stockholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and (c) no selling stockholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. Selling stockholders who are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers are indicated by footnote. We have been advised that these broker-dealers and affiliates of broker-dealers purchased our common stock in the ordinary course of business, not for resale, and at the time of purchase, did not have any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such common stock. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive proceeds from sales of common stock made under this prospectus.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There currently is a limited public market for our common stock. The selling stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” below for more information.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information and Holders

Our common stock is currently eligible for quotation and trades on the OTC Market (OTCQB) under the symbol “AKTS.” Prior to May 1, 2015, our common stock was quoted under the symbol “DNLX.” Trading of our common stock began on May 28, 2015. There has been very limited trading in our common stock to date.

As of September 15, 2015, we had 12,392,115 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 93 stockholders of record. To date, we have not paid dividends on our common stock.

We also have outstanding warrants and options to purchase 324,650 shares and 160,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as provided therein. See “Description of Securities” below.

The following table sets forth the high and low closing bid prices for our common stock for the fiscal quarter indicated as reported on OTC Markets. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. Our common stock is very thinly traded and, thus, pricing of our common stock on OTC Markets does not necessarily represent its fair market value.

(1)  All quotations give effect to a 1.094891-for-1 forward stock split in the form of a dividend which was completed on April 23, 2015.

*  Through September 15, 2015.

Dividends

We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. Other than provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes requiring post-dividend solvency according to certain measures, there are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.  

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We had no equity compensation plans as of the end of fiscal year 2014.

On May 22, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted, and on the same date our stockholders approved, the 2015 Plan, which reserves a total of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2015 Plan. We agreed not to grant awards under the 2015 Plan for more than 600,000 shares of our common stock during the first year following the closing of the Merger. If an incentive award granted under the 2015 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2015 Plan.

In addition, the number of shares of our common stock subject to the 2015 Plan, any number of shares subject to any numerical limit in the 2015 Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award are expected to be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding our common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

Administration

The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2015 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2015 Plan, the compensation committee or the Board has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2015 Plan.

Grants

The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant to participants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (as amended, the “Code”) and stock appreciation rights, as described below:

Duration, Amendment, and Termination

The Board has the power to amend, suspend or terminate the EIP without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders within one year. Unless sooner terminated, the 2015 Plan would terminate ten years after it is adopted.

This summary description of the 2015 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the 2015 Plan filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

As of the date hereof, options to purchase 160,000 shares of our common stock have been issued and restricted stock awards for 427,200 shares of common stock have been authorized but not yet issued under the 2015 Plan (of which 8,000 have been forfeited). See “Description of Securities—Options.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this prospectus. The management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this prospectus.

As the result of the Merger and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles the historical financial results of Akoustis, Inc., the accounting acquirer, prior to the Merger are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

The following discussion highlights the results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition, as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on the audited financial statements contained in this Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Basis of Presentation

The audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, and unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 contained herein include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these financial statements.

Overview

Akoustis is an early-stage company that designs and manufactures innovative filters enabling the radio frequency (RF) front-end of Mobile Wireless devices, such as smartphones. Located between the device’s antenna and its digital backend, the RF front-end is the circuitry that performs the analog signal processing and contains components such as amplifiers, filters and switches. To construct the resonators that are the building blocks for the RF filter, we have developed a fundamentally new single-crystal acoustic materials and device technology that we refer to as Bulk ONE™. Filters are critical in selecting and rejecting signals, and their performance enables differentiation in the modules defining the RF front-end.

We believe owning the core resonator technology and manufacturing our designs is the most direct and effective means of delivering our solutions to the market. Furthermore, our technology is based upon bulk-mode resonance, which is superior to surface-mode resonance for high band applications and emerging 4G/LTE frequency band licenses. While our target customers make all or a portion of the RF front-end module, several customers lack access to critical high band technology to compete in high band applications and other traditional surface-mode solutions where higher power performance is required. We intend to design and manufacture our RF filter products to multiple customers and enable broader competition among the front-end module manufacturers. We plan to operate as a “pure-play” RF filter supplier and align with the front-end module manufacturers who seek to acquire high performance filters to grow their module business.

We have built prototype resonators using our proprietary single crystal materials. We are currently transferring and optimizing our Bulk ONE technology to our wafer-manufacturing partner under a joint development agreement (JDA) and a manufacturing agreement. We leverage both federal and state level, non-dilutive R&D grants to support development and commercialization of our technology. We are developing resonators for 4G/LTE bands and the associated proprietary models and design kits required to design our RF filters. Once we have stabilized the wafer process technology, we plan to engage with strategic customers to evaluate first our resonators and then our filter prototypes. Our initial designs will target high band 4G/LTE frequency bands. Since Akoustis owns its core technology and controls access to its IP, we can offer several ways to engage with potential customers. First, we can engage with customers using filter that we design and offer as a standard catalog component to multiple customers. Second, we can start with a customer-supplied filter specification, which we design and fabricate for a specific customer. Finally, we can offer our models and design kits for our customers to design their own filter into our proprietary technology.  In July 2015, the Company filed its first US patent applications on its Bulk ONE technology.

Akoustis, Inc. was founded on May 12, 2014. In June 2014, our founders and angel investors contributed $530,000 in a series-seed equity financing. In June 2014, Akoustis, Inc. applied for its first small business innovative research (“SBIR”) R&D grant with National Science Foundation (“NSF”). Akoustis, Inc was awarded $150,000 for the Phase I SBIR grant in December of 2014 and was awarded an additional $30,000 for Phase Ib in May 2015. The NSF program increases the incentive and opportunity for startups and small businesses to undertake cutting-edge, high-quality scientific research and development. NSF and SBR provide grants in phases: a short proof-of-concept / feasibility grant ($150-225k) can potentially be followed by longer development grants.

The terms of the Phase I and Ib grants require that the grantee have full responsibility for the conduct of the project or activity supported and the adherence to the award conditions including those regarding record keeping, adequateness of financial reporting systems, measurement against project goals and budget and reporting deadlines. The Phase I grant period is January to June 2015 which was extended to December 2015 as a result of the Phase Ib award. A minimum of two-thirds of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the grantee and all products and equipment purchased to the extent practicable must be American-made.

Two-thirds or $100,000 of the total Phase I award was made in January 2015 and the remainder will be paid upon receipt and acceptance by NSF of a satisfactory final report and financial certification. The Phase Ib award extended the grant timeline to December 2015 and moved the deadline for the Phase I final report to January 2016. A Phase I interim report was due and was submitted by July 15, 2015. The Phase Ib award of $30,000 was received in June 2015.

In addition to the SBIR grant awards, the State of North Carolina awarded Akoustis with a Phase I NSF matching grant in January 2015 in the amount of $50,000. The initial payment of $37,500 was received in March of 2015. The final payment of $12,500 is contingent upon the submission and acceptance of the final NSF SBIR Phase I report in January 2016 and the receipt of notification from the NSF that Akoustis is eligible for the final Phase I payment.

We expect to apply for additional R&D grants that support technology innovation in line with our business plan. Our partnership with NSF has strengthened since the start of our engagement and their support has accelerated our technology commercialization as well as funded technical jobs. We have additional opportunities for new grants and matching funds from our current small business program partnership with NSF, which total a potential additional $1,250,000. In July 2015, we applied for an NSF Phase II program under our current program award, which contains a maximum grant value of $750,000 in additional funding, to start in early 2016. Further, if this award is received, then we believe our current equity financing activities qualify us for an additional $500,000 in matching funds to commercialize our technology. There can be no assurance, however, that these grants will be received.

Of the $530,000 raised in June 2014, our CEO was the largest investor at $175,000. Furthermore, a firm owned by our CEO (Raytech, LLC) loaned our company $30,000 to assist in purchase of test and measurement equipment required to evaluate the performance of our technology demonstrators. The loan agreement was a 12-month simple interest note. The loan was repaid in full in March 2015.

In March 2015, Akoustis, Inc. issued convertible notes in exchange for investments of $655,000 by the founders and original angel investors. Of this, $200,000 was invested by our CEO. Also in March 2015 we executed a stock purchase agreement for $35,000 with an investor to offset legal and audit expenses related to the Merger and private placement offering. In April 2015, one of the convertible noteholders converted $10,000 of his convertible note into shares of Akoustis, Inc., common stock in order to enable us to qualify for additional matching funds from NSF. As a result, the net note investment remaining was $645,000, which, in accordance with the terms of the convertible notes, converted into Common Stock of the Company on the same terms as the other investors in the Company’s private placement offering referred to below, at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

On May 22, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, Akoustis Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on May 15, 2015 (“Acquisition Sub”) merged with and into Akoustis, Inc. Akoustis, Inc., was the surviving corporation in the Merger and became our wholly owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding stock of Akoustis, Inc., was exchanged for shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the Merger and pursuant to a Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our pre-Merger majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by him and cancellation of 9,854,019 shares of our Common Stock.

On May 22, 2015, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, and as a condition to the Merger, we held a closing on a private placement offering in which we sold 3,531,104 shares of our Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. On June 10, 2015, we completed a second and final closing of the private placement offering in which we sold an additional 261,000 shares of common stock. In total, we sold an aggregate of 3,792,104 shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offerings were $5,688,156 (before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $801,581). See “Description of Business—The Offering” for additional information.

We have earned no revenue since inception, and our operations have been funded with the initial capital contributions, grants and debt. We have incurred losses totaling approximately $1.27 million from inception through June 30, 2015. These losses are primarily the result of research and development costs associated with commercializing our technology, combined with start-up and financing costs. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for commercialization of our technology on a continuous basis because our business model involves materials and solid state device technology development as well as engineering of catalog and custom filter designs.

Plan of Operation

We plan to commercialize our technology by designing and manufacturing single band and multi-band solutions that address problems (such as loss, bandwidth, power handling and isolation) created by the growing number of frequency bands in the RF front-end of mobile devices to support 4G/LTE. First, we plan to develop, by September 2016, a series of single-band low-loss BAW filter designs for 4G/LTE frequency bands, which are dominated by higher loss BAW solutions and cannot be addressed with low band, lower power handling SAW technology. Second, we plan to develop by February 2017 a series of filter solutions that can cover multiple frequency bands. In order to succeed, we must convince RF front-end module manufactures to use our Bulk ONE technology in their modules. However, since there are only two dominant suppliers in the industry that have high band technology, and both utilize such technology as a competitive advantage at the module level, we expect customers that lack access to high band filter technology will be open to engage with our pure-play filter company.

Our primary activity in the near term will be to continue to work on building our supply chain to produce our Bulk ONE™ technology wafers at our wafer manufacturing partner. We expect to complete technology transfer by the end of June 2016. There is no assurance that we can complete our technology transfer or the subsequent design effort, or that our designs will have acceptable performance with our target customers. In addition, our filter designs will compete with other BAW and SAW products and solutions available to the industry and may not be selected even if fully compliant with all specifications.

Once we complete our technology transfer and customer validation of our technology, we expect to complete qualification of our Bulk ONE™ process technology by the end of 2016 to support a product family of 4G/LTE filter solutions. Once the company has stabilized its process technology in a manufacturing environment, we will target a March 2017 production release of our high band filter products in the frequency range from 1.5GHz to 4.0GHz. The target frequency bands will be prioritized based upon customer priority. We expect this will require recruiting and hiring additional personnel. While we have started discussions with several prospective customers for the design, such discussions are ongoing and may not result in any agreements. We expect to proceed with our plan to develop a family of standard catalog filter designs regardless of the outcome of these discussions.

We plan to pursue filter design and R&D development agreements and potentially joint ventures with target customers and other strategic partners. These types of arrangements may subsidize technology development costs and qualification, filter design costs, as well as offer complementary technology and market intelligence and other avenues to revenue. However, we intend to retain ownership of our core technology, IP, designs and related improvements. We expect to pursue development of catalog designs for multiple customers, and offer such catalog products in multiple sales channels.

We expect to use our approximately $3,788,914 of cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2015 to fund a majority of the foregoing milestones, for product development to commercialize our technology, research and development, the development of our patent strategy and expansion of our patent portfolio, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. These funds are expected to be sufficient to fund our activities through July of 2016. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s projections and estimates are accurate. Our anticipated costs include employee salaries and benefits, compensation paid to consultants, capital costs for research and other equipment, costs associated with development activities including travel and administration, legal expenses, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs associated with an early stage, publicly-traded technology company. We anticipate increasing the number of employees to approximately 20 to 25 employees; however, this is highly dependent on the nature of our development efforts and our success in commercialization. We anticipate adding employees for research and development, as well as general and administrative functions, to support our efforts. We expect to incur consulting expenses related to technology development and other efforts as well as legal and related expenses to protect our intellectual property. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $500,000 for the purchase of equipment and software during the next 12 months.

The amounts that we actually spend for any specific purpose may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of progress of our commercialization and development efforts, actual needs with respect to product testing, development and research, market conditions, and changes in or revisions to our marketing strategies. In addition, we may use a portion of any net proceeds to acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses; however, we do not have plans for any acquisitions at this time. We have significant discretion in the use of the net proceeds.

Commercial development of new technology is, by its nature, unpredictable. Although we will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that our current cash position will be sufficient to enable us to commercialize our technology to the extent needed to create future sales to sustain operations as contemplated herein. If our current cash is insufficient for these purposes, or the Company does not receive anticipated proceeds from research grants or such grant payments are delayed, or the Company experiences costs in excess of estimates to continue its research and development plan, it is possible that the Company would not have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the next year, and we will consider other options to continue our path to commercialization, including, but not limited to, additional financing through follow-on stock offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements, curtailment of operations, suspension of operations, sale or licensing of developed intellectual or other property, or other alternatives.

If we are unable to raise the funds that we believe are needed to develop our technology and enable future sales, we may be required to scale back our development plans by reducing expenditures for employees, consultants, business development and marketing efforts, and other envisioned expenditures. This could reduce our ability to commercialize our technology or require us to seek further funding earlier, or on less favorable terms, than if we had raised the full amount of the proposed offering.

We cannot assure you that our technology will be accepted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. See Note 3 to both our audited and unaudited financial statements for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks. Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long–lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s judgment. If any of the Company’s intangible or long–lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value. Applicable long–lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon management’s judgment. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over their useful lives of 15 years.

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.

The Company utilizes a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Fair value measurements are categorized using a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritize the inputs into three broad levels:

Equity–based compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.

Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a five year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.

The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is benchmarked against similar companies in a similar industry over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best estimate.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the equity–based compensation could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.

The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505-40, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instruments is re-measured each reporting period over the requisite service period.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and the period from May 12, 2014 (inception) through June 30, 2014

Revenues

The Company did not have any revenues from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the period from May 12, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $193,915 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $189,440 or 4233%, compared with $4,475 for the period ended June 30, 2014. The increase is attributable to the ramp up of research and development activities as the Company entered into its second year of operations. The increased costs are primarily in the areas of material purchases and material processing costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $660,127 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $617,729 or 1457%, compared with $42,398 for the period ended June 30, 2014. General and administrative costs as of the period ended June 30, 2014 were reflective of a newly formed business. The increase in general and administrative spending was mainly in the areas of staff salaries, share-based compensation and professional fees. In addition to the increase in headcount to accommodate the ramp up of business activity, the Company incurred higher professional fees associated with the previously reported merger and public offering.

Other Income

Other income is comprised of grant income and interest income. During the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company received grant income of $29,999 from the National Science Foundation (the “NSF”) in order to fund future research and development. Other income also contained the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,571 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Loss

Net loss was $822,297 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $775,424 or 1654%, compared with $46,873 for the period ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses as discussed above.

Period from May 12, 2014 (inception) through March 31, 2015.

Research and Development.    Research and development expenses consist of the direct engineering and other costs associated with the development and commercialization of our technology, including the development of filter designs under development agreements. These consist primarily of the cost of employees and consultants, and to a lesser extent costs for supplies. We also include the costs for our intellectual property development program under research and development. This program focuses on patent strategy and invention extraction. Research and development expenses totaled $241,933 for the period from May 12, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

Our research and development efforts are focused currently on the transfer and development of single crystal bulk-mode acoustic wave resonators and RF filters under our existing development agreement with our foundry partner. We signed our agreement in early February 2015 and began technology transfer in March 2015. We expect expenditures on this R&D project to continue increasing in 2015 as we hire additional technical staff to support our efforts.

We also expect to begin development of our first Bulk ONE RF filter design in the second half of 2015 and will begin hiring additional personnel to work on it. We have started discussions with several prospective customers for the design. These discussions are ongoing and may not result in any agreements. We expect to proceed with our plan to design and develop RF filters regardless of the outcome of these discussions. We may not succeed in the development of a commercially viable RF filters or secure any customers for such designs.

We plan to actively pursue other development agreements with potential customers and strategic partners. Research and development costs would further increase if and when we secure additional development agreements.

General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses include salaries, taxes and employee benefits for executives and administrative staff. They also include expenses for corporate overhead such as rent for our facilities, travel expenses, telecommunications, investor relations, insurance, professional fees and business consulting fees. General and administrative expenses totaled $341,916 for the period from May 12, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we continue to build our infrastructure to support our growth. Additionally, we anticipate increased expenses related to the legal, audit, regulatory and investor relations services associated with maintaining compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, director and officer insurance premiums and other costs associated with operating as a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have earned no revenue from operations since inception, and our operations have been funded with initial capital contributions, sales of our equity securities, debt financing and research and development grants.

We had current assets of $4,389,308 and current liabilities of $122,514 at June 30, 2015, resulting in working capital of $4,266,794. The primary source of working capital during the quarter was from the issuance of common stock. We had current assets of $739,975 and current liabilities of $713,439 at March 31, 2015, resulting in working capital of $26,536. However, current liabilities included $655,000 of convertible notes that were converted into common stock effective April 2015 ($10,000) and May 22, 2015 ($645,000).

Operating activities used cash of $576,492 for the period from April 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015. The net loss of $822,297 comprised the majority of the cash used in operations. Operating activities used cash of $433,065 for the period from May 12, 2014 to March 31, 2015. The net loss of $446,349 comprised the majority of the cash used in operations.

Investing activities used cash of $23,378 for the period from April 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015. Investing activities consisted of $18,761 paid for machinery and equipment and $4,617 paid for intangibles, which include patent applications and trademarks. Investing activities used cash of $99,197 for the period from May 12, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Investing activities consisted of $71,187 paid for machinery and equipment and $28,010 paid for intangibles, which include patent applications and trademarks.

Financing activities provided cash of $4,241,617 for the period from April 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 and were the result of the issuance of common stock. On May 22, 2015, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, we closed on a private placement offering in which we sold 3,531,104 shares of our Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds (before placement agent fees and offering expenses) of $5,296,656. On June 9, 2015, we completed a second and final closing of the offering in which we sold an additional 261,000 shares of common stock. In total we sold an aggregate of 3,792,104 shares of common stock in the offering and received aggregate gross proceeds of $5,688,156 (including $645,000 in principal amount of convertible notes of Akoustis, Inc. that converted into shares of our common stock at closing) before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of approximately $801,529. Financing activities provided cash of $1,220,001 for the period from May 12, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Financing activities included receipt of $35,001 from the issuance of common stock, $530,000 from the issuance of preferred stock, $655,000 from the issuance of convertible notes, and $30,000 from a promissory note which was paid off during the period.

Our financial statements contemplate the continuation of our business as a going concern. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a new business. We have no established source of capital, do not yet have the ability to earn revenue and have incurred significant losses from operations since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors also have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company did not engage in any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of June 30, 2015.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable. Although we will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the recently completed offering will be sufficient to enable us to develop our technology to the extent needed to create future sales to sustain operations as contemplated herein. If the net proceeds from the recently completed offering are insufficient for this purpose, we will consider other options to continue our path to commercialization, including, but not limited to, additional financing through follow-on stock offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements, curtailment of operations, suspension of operations, sale or licensing of developed intellectual or other property, or other alternatives. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when or in the amounts required, on terms acceptable to us or at all.

We cannot assure you that our technology will be adopted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

Glossary

The following is a glossary of technical terms used herein:

Overview

Akoustis™ is an early stage, “fabless” company developing, designing and manufacturing innovative filter products for radio frequency, or RF, front-ends for the mobile wireless device industry. We use a fundamentally new piezoelectric resonator technology that we call Bulk ONE™ in the manufacturing of acoustic resonators, the building blocks of high selectivity “RF” filters required to route signals in a smartphone or other mobile or wearable device. Filters are a critical component of the RF front-end, and their use has multiplied with the launch and licensing of 4G/LTE frequency bands. They are used to define the range of frequencies of radio signals that are transmitted (the “passband”) and simultaneously reject unwanted signals. The increasing demand for wireless data and user applications is driving an increase in the number of wireless channels or frequency bands in a single device. Each new band introduced creates an increase in a demand for filters. A high-end smartphone, for example, must filter the transmit and receive paths for 2G, 3G and 4G wireless access methods in up to 15 bands, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and in some cases GPS. Signals in the receive paths must be isolated from one another. The filters also must reject other extraneous signals from numerous sources. The current approach to RF filter manufacturing utilizes thin-film polycrystalline materials (thin-film bulk acoustic resonators, or “FBARs”) with relatively high resistance that dissipate a significant amount of the energy in the signal (referred to as “lossy”), resulting in front-end heat generation and reduced battery life. In order to compensate for such losses, the power amplifier specifications are increased, by as much as a factor of two, which reduces further the battery life and puts more demands on the thermal management of the mobile device.

As the filter count per mobile device increases, these inefficiencies will become more limiting. We plan to use single crystal piezoelectric materials to develop a new class of filters with a fundamental advantage to reduce losses over existing thin film technologies. We have fabricated R&D resonators demonstrating the feasibility of our Bulk ONE technology, and are in the process of transitioning the technology into a production-capable wafer fabrication facility for the ultimate purpose of manufacturing our bulk mode acoustic wave filters. Our business model involves “fabless” manufacturing, meaning that we leverage capital investments and capacity of our strategic partners to manufacture our wafers. Once our technology is qualified for manufacturing, we expect to design and sell single crystal filter products using our Bulk ONE technology.

We believe our technology is disruptive to the RF front-end market through the following expected advantages:

Once our Bulk ONE technology is qualified for production, our product focus is on innovative single-band filter products for the growing RF front-end market, which can be used to make duplexer or multiplexer filter products necessary for the Mobile Internet. These products present the greatest near-term potential for commercialization of our technology. According to a May 2013 McKinsey Global Institute Report, the Mobile Internet and the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) is one of the twelve potentially economically disruptive technologies with an estimated economic value impact that could be over $25 trillion.

Our Technology

Current RF filters utilize a technology that is limited by the material properties of the base filter component. Existing bulk acoustic wave filters use an “acoustic wave ladder” that is based on a monolithic topology approach using lossy polycrystalline materials. By contrast, our Bulk ONE technology uses a single crystal material, which provides 30% higher piezoelectric properties, compared to conventional polycrystalline materials used in the industry today. We have fabricated R&D resonators that demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and believe our technology will yield a new generation of filter products.

Bulk ONE Technology consists of novel single-crystal piezoelectric materials, which are fabricated into bulk-mode, acoustic wave resonators and RF filters. Our patent-pending piezoelectric materials contain high-purity Group III element nitride materials and possess a unique signature, which can be detected by conventional material metrology tools. We utilize analytical modeling techniques to aid in the design of our materials and our material specifications are typically outsourced to a third party for manufacturing. Once our materials are ready for processing, we supply our wafer manufacturing partner raw materials, a mask design file, and unique process flow in order to fabricate our resonators and filters. Our wafer process flow contains a process module for wafer level packaging (WLP) that allows for low profile, cost effective filters to be produced.

Challenges Faced by the Mobile Device Industry

Rising consumer demand for always-on wireless broadband connectivity is creating an unprecedented need for high performance RF Front End for mobile devices. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are quickly driving the Internet of Things (IoT). The rapid growth in mobile data traffic is testing the limits of existing wireless bandwidth. Carriers and regulators have responded by opening new swaths of RF spectrum, driving up the number of frequency bands in mobile devices. This substantial increase in frequency bands has created a demand for more filters, as well as a demand for filters with higher selectivity. The global transition to LTE and adoption of LTE-Advanced with more sophisticated carrier aggregation and multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) techniques will continue to push the requirements for increased supply of high performance filters.

Furthermore, the new spectrum introduced by 4G/LTE is driving licensing at higher frequencies than previous 3G smartphone models. For example, new TDD LTE frequencies allocated for 4G wireless cover frequencies nearly twice has high as covered in previous generation phones. As a result, the demand for high frequency or “high band” filters has exploded according a Mobile Experts May 2015 report. For traditional “low band” frequencies, SAW filters have been the primary choice, while high band solutions have utilized BAW filters due to their performance and yield. While there are multiple sources of supply for SAW technology, the source of supply for BAW filters is more limited and essentially dominated by two manufacturers worldwide.

The first problem is that signal loss of current generation acoustic wave filters is excessively high, and up to half of the transmit power is wasted as heat, which ultimately constrains battery life. In addition, filters with inferior selectivity either reduce the available operating bands the mobile device can support or increase the noise in the operating bands. Each of these problems negatively impacts the end-user’s experience when using the mobile device.

Our Solutions

Our immediate focus is on the commercialization of filters using our Bulk ONE technology. We believe these filters enable new PAD module or RF Front-end competition for high band modules as well as performance-driven low band applications. Initially, we expect to target select strategic market leaders as well as Tier 2 mobile wireless module suppliers. Longer term, our focus will be to expand our market share by engaging with multiple module manufacturers. We are currently partnering with a wafer manufacturer to commercialize our first filters using our Bulk ONE technology. This will be the first in a series of R&D activities that will set the foundation for filter products that we believe can disrupt the high band filter market. We will develop a series of filter designs used in the manufacturing of duplexers or more complex multiplexers targeting the 4G/LTE frequency bands. We believe our filter designs will create an alternative and replace filters currently manufactured using materials with fundamentally inferior performance.

Our Business Model

We will provide filters to the market through the manufacturing of our product using a “fabless” outsourced manufacturing model. By leveraging the existing manufacturing capacity of our partner, we will operate a capital-efficient business. Our target customers will be those companies that make part of or the entire RF front-end module. We expect sales of our filters to RF front-end module manufacturers will be the source of our revenue. We will principally provide design and development resources and manage our outsourced partners to support our product realization process. There are two companies specializing in manufacturing of BAW filters that dominate this market. See “Competition” below. We believe our Bulk ONE technology provides a competitive filter alternative and that there will be factors creating significant barriers to entry for potential additional competitors:

Our History

Akoustis was founded in 2014 by experienced industry leaders and scientists from University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Cornell University. Our initial funding was through a $0.5 million series seed funding in 2014, and we received $655,000 in additional investments in convertible notes and stock by the founders and original angel investors in March and April 2015. We received a National Science Foundation (“NSF”) Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) grant that started in January 2015. In addition, we received matching funds from North Carolina Science, Technology & Innovation Department of Commerce. The funds from these sources have supported the operations of Akoustis. Akoustis has used these funds to finance the completion of multiple key milestones. These milestones include the application for seven patents with over 200 claims, hiring of key personnel, the engagement with a foundry prototype facility for the development of a single crystal resonator demonstrator, initiation of SBIR activities that include modeling to design evaluation deliverables, and the engagement and securing of strategic partners for the supply and fabrication of the filters using our Bulk ONE technology.

The Mobile Internet

Rising consumer demand for always-on wireless broadband connectivity is creating an unprecedented need for high performance RF front-ends for mobile devices. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are quickly becoming the primary means of accessing the Internet. The exponential growth in mobile data traffic is testing the limits of existing wireless bandwidth. Carriers and regulators have responded by opening new RF spectrum, driving up the number of frequency bands in mobile devices. As a prime example, a Presidential directive was issued in 2010 to the FCC and other agencies to make available an additional 500 MHz of RF spectrum to meet the growing demand in the United States. Similar initiatives are occurring worldwide. Adding RF spectrum is not a complete solution. The added spectrum does not come in large contiguous blocks, but rather in small channels or bands of varying size and frequency. Thus, more data means more bands, and the result is a rapid and substantial increase in the number of filters in mobile devices.

The Challenge

Moore’s Law predicts that transistor density on integrated circuits will double approximately every two years, and the digital baseband of mobile devices has improved exponentially as predicted by Moore’s Law. However, improvements to the analog RF front-end have been limited by existing filter technology, with only incremental updates to existing technology. Consequently, the RF front-end is taking up an ever-growing share of the total cost of mobile devices. Most mobile devices sold today operate on “fourth generation” wireless technology, or 4G. There are nearly fifty 4G bands recognized worldwide today, and the list is growing. The RF front-end must meet these growing data demands while reducing cost and improving battery life. Our solution involves a new approach to RF component manufacturing, enabled by Bulk ONE technology. Our technology will produce filters that will reduce the overall system cost and improve performance of the RF front-end.

Figure 1—Our Solution

Single-Band Designs for Duplexers and Multiplexers

SAW filters have been preferred in modern RF front-ends because of their high performance, small size and low cost. However, traditional SAW ladder designs do not perform well in high frequency bands or bands with closely spaced receive and transmit channels, typical of many new bands. Therefore, larger BAW filters are needed for these bands. We have demonstrated in a development environment our ability to fabricate BAW resonators, the building block of BAW filters, that are more efficient than existing available BAW resonators, and we believe the improved efficiency will reduce the total cost of RF front-ends as well as reduce the battery demand for mobile devices. Additionally, we believe that our Bulk ONE filters will allow for a single manufacturing method that will support all of the BAW filter band range and a significant portion of the SAW band range. Figure 2 below illustrates what we believe will be the frequency range of our Bulk ONE technology.

Pure-Play Filter Provider Enables New Module Competition

Our technology allows for a wide range of frequency coverage, and we plan to supply filters that will support 4G/LTE and beyond. We have successfully demonstrated resonators that will support the design and fabrication of 4G/LTE filters, and our current focus is on completing the development required to transition this single-crystal BAW technology to high volume manufacturing. We will be a pure-play filter supplier that will address the increasing RF complexity placed on RF front-end manufacturers supporting 4G/LTE.

Commercialization

Our immediate focus is to address problems in the RF front-end with innovative single-band designs using our Bulk ONE technology. We are currently developing our first commercial single-band filter in collaboration with a manufacturing partner, Global Communication Semiconductors, LLC (“GCS”), under the terms of a signed development agreement. Both parties are focused on developing fixed-band filters because we believe these designs present the greatest near-term potential for commercialization of our technology, and that once demonstrated, there is a shorter learning curve for having the foundry ready for production.

The development agreement with GCS contains the following milestones:

Milestone 1 is complete. Management expects to complete work on Milestone 2 before the end of June 2016, at which time we plan to commence work on Milestone 3, with an expected completion by September 2016. We expect to generate revenue from the sale of our filters in early 2017 after completion of Milestone 4, which we currently target by end of 2016.

Our Foundry Agreement with GCS was made effective as of February 27, 2015 and carries a term of five years. At the end of the original term, the Foundry Agreement will be extended automatically for one additional year unless within 180 days prior to the end of the initial term, either party gives written notice of its intention to terminate the agreement. The Foundry Agreement outlines proposed activities for development support that could be requested by us and provided by GCS. All proposed developmental activities are voluntary and the Foundry Agreement is not intended by either GCS or us to create a contractual obligation. The Foundry Agreement also covers the agreement to manufacture, test and deliver wafers manufactured by GCS using the GCS process with our design pursuant to purchase orders issued by us.

The Joint Development Agreement with GCS was made effective as of February 27, 2015 and carries a term of five years at which time it terminates immediately without further notice or action when all Statements Of Work governed by the agreement terminate or expire. During the term of the agreement we and GCS will collaborate with each other to develop one or more products. Each of the parties will bear all direct and related costs associated with their development activities. The agreement calls for the designation of a project manager from each of the parties and the formation of an advisory committee made up of members from each party to manage escalation of issues unresolved by the project managers. The Joint Development Agreement indicates that we and GCS jointly own in equal, undivided shares title and interest in any joint development works and all Intellectual property rights embodied in those works other than the Intellectual property rights embodied in either party’s background technology. Background technology means all information that is owned, controlled, licenses developed or acquired solely outside the performance of the Joint Development Agreement.

The Foundry Agreement and Joint Development Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.14 and 10.13, respectively, to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. All references to the Foundry Agreement and Joint Development Agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as an exhibit hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development

Since inception, the Company’s focus has been on developing an innovative mobile-wireless filter technology with a compelling value proposition to our potential customers and a significant and noticeable impact to the end user.

Whereas today’s amorphous material is sputtered on a metal-coated carrier, our Bulk ONE technology employs high quality, single crystal resonator films, which are used as the enabler to create high performance bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters. This single crystal material is a key differentiator when compared to the incumbent amorphous thin-film technologies, because it increases the acoustic velocity and the electromechanical coupling coefficient in the resonator, which results in higher filter efficiencies and lower power consumption – which leads to simplified RF front-ends, longer battery life and reduced tissue heating. Our investment during our last fiscal year totaled $0.24M and was focused on single crystal material development and resonator demonstration. Current R&D investments include single crystal materials advancement, technology transfer to our manufacturing partner and resonator development and filter design.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including patents, know-how and trade secrets, along with copyrights, trademarks and contractual obligations and restrictions to protect our core technology and business.

We currently have seven pending patent applications in the United States and intend to file for protection internationally. The patent applications tie directly to our single-crystal bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology, including materials and device designs, methods of manufacture, integrated circuit designs, wafer packaging, and point of use (to include mobile applications). The Company will continue to innovate and expand our patent portfolio, and when appropriate, we will look to purchase license(s) that grant access to additional intellectual property that enables, enhances or further expands our technical capabilities and/or product offerings.

We believe that it is likely that Akoustis will have competitive advantages from rights granted under our patent applications. Such applications, however, may not result in the issuance of any patents. In addition, any future patent may be opposed, contested, circumvented or designed around by a third party or found to be unenforceable or invalidated. Others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies, duplicate our proprietary technologies or design around patents owned or licensed by us.

We generally control access to, and use of, our confidential information through the use of internal and external controls, including contractual protections with employees, contractors and customers. We rely in part on the United States and international copyright laws to protect our intellectual property. All employees and consultants are required to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment and consulting relationships with us. We also require them to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived or made in connection with the employment or consulting relationship.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may still copy or otherwise obtain and use our software, technology or other information that we regard as confidential and proprietary. In addition, we intend to expand our international presence, and effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights and positions, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. Although we have not received any third party claims, we expect that in the future we may receive communications from various industry participants alleging our infringement of their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any lawsuits could subject us to significant liability for damages, invalidate our proprietary rights and harm our business and our ability to compete. Any litigation, regardless of success or merit, could cause us to incur substantial expenses, reduce our sales and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In the event we receive an adverse result in any litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, cease the sale of products, expend significant resources to develop alternative technology or discontinue the use of processes requiring the relevant technology.

Competition

The competitive landscape for the Company is small and is controlled by handful of RF component suppliers. These companies include, among others, Avago Technologies Limited, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Qorvo, Inc., Skyworks Solutions Inc., Taiyo Yuden, and TDK Epcos. Two of these companies dominate the high band filter market, controlling a significant portion of the customer base and are increasing capacity to meet the growth demands of the 4G/LTE market.

We will compete directly with them to secure design slots inside RF front-end modules – targeting companies that procure filters or have captive sources. We believe that our filter designs will be superior in performance and will approach perspective customers as pure-play filter supplier – offering advantages in performance, over the full frequency range, with competitive costs. Our challenge will be to convince the companies that we have a strong intellectual property position, that we will be able to ramp in volume, that we will meet their price targets, and that we can satisfy reliability requirements.

Employees

We have put a premium on hiring the best talent at the right time to enable our core technology and business growth. This includes establishing a competitive compensation and benefits package – enhancing our ability to recruit experienced personnel and key technologists. We currently have 10 full-time employees plus 10 independent contractors working with the Company, and we will continue to hire specific and targeted positions to further enable our technology and manufacturing capabilities.

Government Regulations

Our business and products in development are subject to regulation by various federal and state governmental agencies, including the radio frequency emission regulatory activities of the FCC, the consumer protection laws of the Federal Trade Commission, the import/export regulatory activities of the Department of Commerce, the product safety regulatory activities of the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the environmental regulatory activities of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The rules and regulations of the FCC limit the RF used by and level of power emitting from electronic equipment. Our RF filters, as a key element enabling consumer electronic smartphone equipment, are required to comply with these FCC rules, and may require certification, verification or registration of our RF filters with the FCC. Certification and verification of new equipment requires testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the FCC’s rules. The equipment must be labeled according to the FCC’s rules to show compliance with these rules. Testing, processing of the FCC’s equipment certificate or FCC registration and labeling may increase development and production costs and could delay the implementation of our Bulk ONE acoustic wave resonator technology for our RF filters and the launch and commercial productions of our filters into the U.S. market. Electronic equipment permitted or authorized to be used by us through FCC certification or verification procedures must not cause harmful interference to licensed FCC users, and may be subject to RF interference from licensed FCC users. Selling, leasing or importing non-compliant equipment is considered a violation of FCC rules and federal law, and violators may be subject to an enforcement action by the FCC. Any failure to comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the FCC could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition by increasing our compliance costs and/or limiting our sales in the United States.

The semiconductor and electronics industries also have been subject to increasing environmental regulations. A number of domestic and foreign jurisdictions seek to restrict the use of various substances, a number of which have been used in our products in development or processes. While we have implemented a compliance program to ensure our product offering meets these regulations, there may be instances where alternative substances will not be available or commercially feasible, or may only be available from a single source, or may be significantly more expensive than their restricted counterparts. Additionally, if we were found to be non-compliant with any such rule or regulation, we could be subject to fines, penalties and/or restrictions imposed by government agencies that could adversely affect our operating results. Our cost to maintain compliance with existing environmental regulations is expected to be nominal based on our structure in which we outsource a majority of our operations to suppliers that are responsible for meeting environmental regulations. We will continue to monitor our quality program and expand as required to maintain compliance and ability to audit our supply chain.

Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could require us to pay contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. These enforcement actions could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees.

Properties

Our headquarters in Huntersville, NC, is a 4,800 square foot facility that we lease for $4,596 per month, with a term expiring in April 2018. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current needs, and we will look for suitable expansion as and when needed.

Merger Agreement

On May 22, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, Acquisition Sub and Akoustis, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on the same date. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Akoustis, Inc., which was the surviving corporation and thus became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Merger, we acquired the business of Akoustis, Inc., of developing advanced, more efficient bulk acoustic wave filters for use in mobile and wearable devices.

At the closing of the Merger each of the 11,671 shares of common stock and the 5,300 shares of preferred stock of Akoustis, Inc., issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into 324.082 shares of our Common Stock. As a result, an aggregate of 5,500,006 shares of our Common Stock were issued to the holders of Akoustis, Inc., stock.

The Merger Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. Breaches of the representations and warranties will be subject to indemnification provisions. Each of the stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., as of the date of the Merger initially received in the Merger 95% of the shares to which each such stockholder is entitled, with the remaining 5% of such shares being held in escrow for two (2) years to satisfy post-closing claims for indemnification by the Company (“Indemnity Shares”). Any of the Indemnity Shares remaining in escrow at the end of such two-year period shall be distributed to the pre-Merger stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., on a pro rata basis. The Merger Agreement also contains a provision providing for a post-Merger share adjustment as a means for which claims for indemnity may be made by the pre-Merger stockholders of Akoustis, Inc. Pursuant to this provision up to 250,000 additional shares (“R&W Shares”) of Common Stock may be issued to the pre-Merger stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., pro rata, during the two-year period following the Merger for breaches of representations and warranties by the Company. The value of the Indemnity Shares and the R&W Shares issued pursuant to the foregoing adjustment mechanisms is fixed at the per share of Common Stock equivalent price of the securities sold in the Offering. The foregoing mechanisms are the exclusive remedies of the Company on the one hand and the pre-Merger stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., on the other hand for satisfying indemnification claims under the Merger Agreement.

The Merger will be treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. Akoustis, Inc. will be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Akoustis, Inc., before the Merger in all future filings with the SEC.

The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The issuance of shares of our Common Stock to holders of Akoustis, Inc., capital stock in connection with the Merger was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under that section. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement, and are subject to further contractual restrictions on transfer as described below.

We also agreed not to register under the Securities Act the resale of the shares of our Common Stock received in the Merger by stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., for a period of two years following the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. All descriptions of the Merger Agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as an exhibit hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Split-Off

Upon the closing of the Merger, under the terms of a split-off agreement and a general release agreement, the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, Danlax Enterprise Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Split-Off Subsidiary”), formed on May 15, 2015. Thereafter, pursuant to the split-off agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Split-Off Subsidiary to Ivan Krikun, the pre-Merger majority stockholder of the Company, and the former sole officer and director of the Company (the “Split-Off”), in consideration of and in exchange for (i) the surrender and cancellation of an aggregate of 9,854,019 shares of our Common Stock held by Mr. Krikun (which were cancelled and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock) and (ii) certain representations, covenants and indemnities. All descriptions of the split-off agreement and the general release agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Offering

Concurrently with the closing of the Merger and in contemplation of the Merger, we held a closing of our Offering in which we sold 3,531,104 shares of our Common Stock (including shares issued on conversion of convertible notes of Akoustis, Inc., as described below), at a purchase price of $1.50 per share (the “Offering Price”). On June 10, 2015, we completed a second and final closing of the Offering in which we sold an additional 261,000 shares of Common Stock. In total, we sold an aggregate of 3,792,104 shares of Common Stock in the Offering.

Investors in the shares were given anti-dilution protection with respect to the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering such that if within 12 months after the final closing of the Offering, we issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (subject to customary exceptions, including but not limited to issuances of awards under our 2015 Plan (as defined below) and certain issuances of securities in connection with credit arrangements, equipment financings, lease arrangements or similar transactions) for a consideration per share less than the Offering Price (the “Lower Price”), each such investor will be entitled to receive from us additional shares of Common Stock in an amount such that, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock initially purchased by such investor, will equal the number of shares of Common Stock that such investor’s Offering subscription amount would have purchased at the Lower Price.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were $5,688,156 (including $645,000 principal amount of convertible notes of Akoustis, Inc., that converted into shares of Common Stock by their terms upon closing of the Offering, at a conversion price per share equal to the Offering Price), and before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of the Offering of approximately $801,529.

The Offering represented an offering by an issuer not involving a public offering and was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder. The Common Stock in the Offering was sold to “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D, and was conducted on a “best efforts” basis. Investors in the Offering represented their intention to acquire the common stock for investment only and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof. Appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates.

The closing of the Offering and the closing of the Merger were conditioned upon each other.

In connection with the Offering, we paid Northland Securities, Inc., and Katalyst Securities LLC, each a U.S. registered broker-dealer (the “Placement Agents”) a cash commission of 10% of the gross proceeds (or 2% in the case of certain existing Akoustis, Inc., investors) raised from investors in the Offering. In addition, the Placement Agents received warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% (or 2% in the case of certain existing Akoustis, Inc., investors) of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering, with a term of five (5) years and an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). Any sub-agent of the Placement Agents that introduced investors to the Offering was entitled to share in the cash fees and warrants attributable to those investors as described above.

As a result of the foregoing, the Placement Agents and their sub-agents were paid aggregate commissions of approximately $486,976 and were issued Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 324,650 shares of our Common Stock. We were also required to reimburse the Placement Agents approximately $77,150 of legal expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.

We agreed to indemnify the Placement Agents and their sub-agents to the fullest extent permitted by law, against certain liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the Offering, including certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act, and, where such indemnification is not available, to contribute to the payments the Placement Agents and their sub-agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

The form of Placement Agent Warrants is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. All descriptions of the Placement Agent Warrants herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Offering, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed that promptly, but no later than 90 calendar days from the final closing of the Offering, the we will file a registration statement with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”) covering (a) the shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, (b) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, (c) any shares of Common Stock issuable to investors in the Offering pursuant to the anti-dilution rights described above and (d) 1,863,504 additional shares of Common Stock held by two pre-Merger stockholders (the “Registerable Shares”). With respect to (c) above, we are registering 1,896,052 shares which represents a good faith estimate as to the number of shares which may become issuable upon application of the price protected anti-dilution provision applicable to the shares referenced in (a) above. We cannot predict whether such anti-dilution provision will be triggered or the actual number of shares which would become issuable were such provision to be triggered. Any of the estimated shares not issued at the end of the term of the anti-dilution provision will be removed from the registration statement of which the prospectus is a part. If the anti-dilution provision is triggered and the shares being registered herein for that purpose are not sufficient to cover the full amount of shares which will be required to be issued, we will need to file a new registration statement to cover the additional amount. We shall use our commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Registration Statement is declared effective within 180 calendar days after filing with the SEC. If we are late in filing the Registration Statement or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective within 180 days after filing with the SEC, we will make payments to each holder of Registrable Securities as liquidated damages at a rate equal to 12% of the Offering Price per annum for each share affected during the period that (i) we are late in filing the Registration Statement or (ii) the Registration Statement is late in being declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of any such liquidated damages exceed 8% of the Offering Price per share. No liquidated damages shall accrue with respect to any Registrable Shares removed from the Registration Statement in response to a comment from the staff of the SEC limiting the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement (a “Cutback Comment”) or after the shares may be resold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

We must keep the Registration Statement “evergreen” for two (2) years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until Rule 144 is available to the holders of Registrable Shares who are not and have not been affiliates of the Company with respect to all of their Registrable Shares, whichever is earlier.

The holders of Registrable Shares (including any shares of Common Stock removed from the Registration Statement as a result of a Cutback Comment) and the stockholders of the Company prior to the Merger (but not holders of the shares issued to the stockholders of Akoustis, Inc., in consideration for the Merger) were given “piggyback” registration rights for such Registrable Shares with respect to any registration statement filed by us following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement that would permit the inclusion of such shares, subject to customary cutback pro rata in an underwritten offering.

We will pay all expenses in connection with any registration obligation provided in the registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, and the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent accountants. Each investor will be responsible for its own sales commissions, if any, transfer taxes and the expenses of any attorney or other advisor such investor decides to employ.

The Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. All descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as an exhibit hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

Before the Merger, our Board of Directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive awards of up to 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock to officers, employees, consultants and directors. See “Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” for more information about the 2015 Plan and outstanding stock options.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Nevertheless, we believe that Messrs. Geiss, McMahon and Neal are independent directors under the applicable standards of the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, although our Board has not made a determination to that effect. (Our stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any securities exchange.)

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our Directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Board Committees

The Company currently has not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We have no separate audit committee at this time. The entire Board of Directors oversees our audits and auditing procedures. The Board of Directors has at this time not determined whether any director is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) for SEC regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We have no separate compensation committee at this time. No executive officer of the Company has served as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served as director of the Company during 2014.

Code of Ethics

The Company currently has not adopted a written code of ethics.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation paid or accrued by us during the last two fiscal years indicated to (i) all individuals that served as our or Akoustis’ principal executive officer or acted in a similar capacity for us at any time during the most recent fiscal year indicated; (ii) the two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers of us or Akoustis at the end of the most recent fiscal year indicated; and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to clause (ii) above but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of ours or Akoustis at the end of the most recent fiscal year indicated. The compensation described in the table does not include medical, group life insurance, or other benefits which are available generally to all of our salaried employees.

Effective June 1, 2015, we established a 401(k) retirement savings plan, with an employer matching contribution, for all employees. We have no other plans in place and have never maintained any other plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans.

Except as indicated below, we have no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, that provide for payments to the named executive officers listed above.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

We have one compensation plan approved by our stockholders, the 2015 Plan. See “Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” below for a description of the 2015 Plan. See “Description of Securities—Options” for information about stock options granted after the closing of the Merger.

The following table provides information about equity awards granted to officers of Akoustis, Inc., who are our Named Executive Officers that were outstanding as of the end of Akoustis, Inc.’s last fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

(1) Mr. Shealy has no outstanding option or stock awards.

(2) Reflects stock options and stock awards granted by Akoustis, Inc. and share value as of March 31, 2015.

Options were granted under our 2015 Plan following the Merger to each of our four non-employee directors to purchase 40,000 shares of our Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, vesting in equal annual installments over four years and exercisable until May 22, 2025.

Employment Agreements

On June 15, 2015, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey B. Shealy. After the initial three-year term, the agreement will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party on at least 30 days’ written notice prior to the end of the then-current term. Mr. Shealy’s annual base salary is $150,000 and is subject to increase or decrease on each anniversary as determined by our Board of Directors. Mr. Shealy is eligible, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, to receive an annual cash bonus of up to 100% of his annual base salary, which may be based on us achieving certain operational, financial or other milestones (the “Milestones”) that may be established by our Board of Directors. Mr. Shealy is entitled to receive stock options or other equity incentive awards under the 2015 Plan as and when determined by the Board, and is entitled to receive perquisites and other fringe benefits that may be provided to, and is eligible to participate in any other bonus or incentive program established by us, for our executives. Mr. Shealy and his dependents are also entitled to participate in any of our employee benefit plans subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to other employees. Mr. Shealy will be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by him in connection with, or related to, the performance of his duties, responsibilities or services under his employment agreement, in accordance with policies and procedures, and subject to limitations, adopted by us from time to time.

In the event that Mr. Shealy is terminated by us without Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) during the term of his employment, Mr. Shealy would be entitled to (x) an amount equal to his annual base salary then in effect (payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices) for a period of 24 months commencing on the effective date of his termination (the “Severance Period”) (in the case of termination by the executive for Good Reason, reduced by any cash remuneration paid to him because of any other employment or self-employment during the Severance Period), and (y) if and to the extent the Milestones are achieved for the annual bonus for the year in which the Severance Period commences (or, in the absence of Milestones, our Board of Directors has, in its sole discretion, otherwise determined an amount of Mr. Shealy’s annual bonus for such year), an amount equal to such annual bonus pro-rated for the portion of the performance year completed before Mr. Shealy’s employment terminated, (z) any unvested stock options, restricted stock or similar incentive equity instruments will vest immediately. For the duration of the Severance Period, Mr. Shealy will also be eligible to participate in our benefit plans or programs, provided Mr. Shealy was participating in such plan or program immediately prior to the date of employment termination, to the extent permitted under the terms of such plan or program (collectively, the “Termination Benefits”). If Mr. Shealy’s employment is terminated during the term by us for Cause, by Mr. Shealy for any reason other than Good Reason or due to his death, then he will not be entitled to receive the Termination Benefits, and shall only be entitled to the compensation and benefits which shall have accrued as of the date of such termination (other than with respect to certain benefits that may be available to Mr. Shealy as a result of a Permanent Disability (as defined in his employment agreement).

On June 15, 2015, we also entered into an employment agreement with each of David M. Aichele, our Vice President of Business Development, Mark Boomgarden, our Vice President of Operations, and Cindy C. Payne, our Chief Financial Officer. Each of these employment agreements has substantially the same terms as that of Mr. Shealy described above, except as follows:

In addition, in accordance with each such employment agreement, each of these executives is entitled to receive a restricted stock award under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), for the number of shares of the Company’s common stock shown below. These restricted stock awards are subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company that lapses over a four-year period, as follows: the repurchase option on 50% of the shares will lapse at the end of two years from date of issuance, and the repurchase option on 25% of the shares will lapse at the end of each of the third and fourth years from date of issuance.

Under the terms of the 2015 Plan, in the event of a merger or Change in Control (as defined in the 2015 Plan) of the Company, each outstanding restricted stock award will be treated as the Administrator (as defined in the 2015 Plan) determines, including that each such award will be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation. The Administrator will not be required to treat all awards similarly in the transaction. In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the award, all restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse.

Restricted Stock Agreements

Akoustis, Inc., entered into, and upon the Merger the Company assumed, restricted stock purchase agreements with each of Steve Denbaars, Mark Boomgarden and Arthur Geiss pursuant to which Akoustis, Inc., issued to each of those individual a number of shares of Akoustis, Inc., common stock, which in the Merger were exchanged for shares of our Common Stock as shown below. The Company has the right to repurchase some or all of such shares upon termination of the individual’s service with the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, for 60 months from the date of termination. All of such shares were subject to the repurchase option until June 16, 2015; 25% of the shares were released from the repurchase option on June 16, 2015, and an additional 1/48th of the shares shall be released from the repurchase option on the last day of each month thereafter, until all shares are released from the repurchase option; provided, that such scheduled releases from the repurchase option will immediately cease as of the termination of service. The numbers of shares subject to these repurchase agreements are:

Director Compensation

We believe that our director compensation policy aligns the interest of our non-employee directors with that of our shareholders by compensating each such director with stock option grants. Each director upon commencement of his or her service receives an option to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock, which vests over four years in equal annual installments, subject to continuation of service as a director. Our policy also is to reimburse these directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to their role on our board.

The table below summarizes all compensation received by each of the Company’s and Akoustis, Inc.’s non-employee directors for services as a director performed during Akoustis, Inc.’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

Options to purchase 40,000 shares of our Common Stock were granted under our 2015 Plan following the Merger to each of our four non-employee directors, with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, vesting in equal annual installments over four years and exercisable until May 22, 2025.

See “—Restricted Stock Agreements” above for information about the restricted stock purchase agreements between the Company and each of Steve Denbaars and Arthur Geiss.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In accordance with SEC rules, shares of our common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days after September 25, 2015 (the “Determination Date”) are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options and warrants and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the Determination Date by (i) each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock (our only class of voting securities), (ii) each of our directors and executive officers, and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. To the best of our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To our knowledge, none of the shares listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted. Other than the Merger, to our knowledge, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company or any of its parents, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

The address for each director and executive officer named in the table is c/o Akoustis Technologies, Inc., 9805 Northcross Center Court, Suite H, Huntersville, NC 28078.

  *Less than 1%

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction or currently proposed transaction in which the Company is a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the average of the Company’s total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.

The descriptions set forth in Description of Business above under the captions “Merger Agreement,” “Split-Off,” “The Offering,” “Registration Rights,” “2015 Equity Incentive Plan,” “Lock-up Agreements and Other Restrictions”, and in Executive Compensation under the captions — “Director Compensation” and “Employment Agreements” and below under “Description of Securities — Options” are incorporated herein by reference.

Of the $530,000 raised by Akoustis, Inc., in June 2014, our CEO, Jeffrey Shealy, was the largest investor at $175,000.

Steven P. Denbaars, Akoustis, Inc.’s Director since May 12, 2014, and our Director since May 22, 2015, participated in the $530,000 equity financing of Akoustis, Inc., in June 2014 by investing $50,000.

Mr. McMahon, at Akoustis, Inc.’s request and to qualify Akoustis, Inc. for an NSF matching award in April 2015, purchased 21 shares of Akoustis, Inc.’s common stock pre-Merger (6,806 shares of our Common Stock post-Merger) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 paid by partial conversion of the convertible note.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. All selling stockholders who are broker-dealers are deemed to be underwriters. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which generally permits the resale, subject to various terms and conditions, of restricted securities after they have been held for six months will not immediately apply to our common stock because we were at one time designated as a “shell company” under SEC regulations. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the date on which the issuer filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer has satisfied certain reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The filing of our Current Report on Form 8-K on May 29, 2015, with the SEC started the running of such one-year period.

The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

In connection with the sale of the shares of our common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of our common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, such broker-dealers or agents and any profit realized on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers. Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of our common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our common stock. None of the selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers, other than the initial purchasers in private transactions, purchased the shares of common stock outside of the ordinary course of business or, at the time of the purchase of the common stock, had any agreements, plans or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. Except as provided for indemnification of the selling stockholders, we are not obligated to pay any of the expenses of any attorney or other advisor engaged by a selling stockholder. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of our common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Our common stock is currently quoted on OTC Markets and trades below $5.00 per share; therefore, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in the common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 12,392,115 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends of such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common stock after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of common stock is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock designation.

While we do not currently have any plans for the issuance of additional preferred stock, the issuance of such preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include:

Other than in connection with shares of preferred stock (as explained above), which preferred stock is not currently designated nor contemplated by us, we do not believe that any provision of our charter or By-Laws would delay, defer or prevent a change in control.

Warrants

As of the date hereof, the Placement Agent Warrants entitle their holders to purchase 324,650 shares of common stock, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and have a “cashless” net exercise option.

All of the outstanding warrants contain “weighted average” anti-dilution protection in the event that we issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price lower than the subject warrant’s exercise price, subject to certain customary exceptions, as well as customary provisions for adjustment in the event of stock splits, subdivision or combination, mergers, etc.

See “Description of Business—Registration Rights” for a description of the registration rights granted to (among others) the holders of the Placement Agent Warrants, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

This summary description of the Placement Agent Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of such warrants filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Nevada State Law

We may in the future become subject to Nevada’s control share laws. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom are residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada, including through an affiliated corporation. This control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers. The Company currently has fewer than 100 stockholders of record who are residents of Nevada and does not do business in Nevada.

The control share law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares that would be sufficient, but for the operation of the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (2) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise this voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the control share law is that an acquiring person, and those acting in association with that person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell the shares to others. If the buyer or buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, the shares are not governed by the control share law any longer.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, a stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of approval of voting rights for the control shares, is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for two years after the interested stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder, unless (a) the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance or (b) the corporation’s board of directors and at least 60% of the corporation’s disinterested stockholders approve the combination at an annual or special meeting. For purposes of Nevada law, an interested stockholder is any person who is: (a) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the previous two years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of “business combination” contained in the statute is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage a party interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

Effective as of May 22, 2015, we dismissed KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of KLJ, and approved the engagement of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

None of the reports of KLJ on our financial statements for the single completed fiscal year since our inception or any subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that our audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, and our audited financial statements for the period April 10, 2013 (date of inception) to July 31, 2013, contained in our initial Registration Statement on Form S-1, both filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, included a going concern qualification in the report of KLJ thereon.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 and the period April 10, 2013 (date of inception) to July 31, 2013, and the subsequent interim periods preceding their dismissal, there were no disagreements with KLJ, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KLJ, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, and through the date of this Report, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has previously consulted with Marcum LLP regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided nor oral advice was provided to us that Marcum LLP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our directors and officers are not individually liable to us or our stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in their capacity as an officer or director unless it is proven that:

Nevada law allows corporations to provide broad indemnification to its officers and directors.  At the present time, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide for broad indemnification of our current and former directors, trustees, officers, employees and other agents.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by CKR Law LLP, 1330 Avenue of the Americas, 14^th Floor, New York, NY 10019 (“CKR”). CKR is counsel to us and receives legal fees in accordance with an executed retainer agreement.
