We were incorporated pursuant to the BusinessCorporations Act (Quebec) on August 27, 2012. Until June 23, 2025, our principal activity was the design, development and manufacturingof electric outboard powertrain systems and power boats and the renting of electric boats. On June 23, 2025, we acquired NauticalVentures and with locations in Florida for the sale of boats, parts and accessories and the provision of related services.
Business Overview
Vision Marine Technologies, Inc. is a marine technologycompany focused on developing and commercializing electric propulsion solutions and related products for the recreational boating market.Our core technology is the E-Motion™ high-voltage electric outboard powertrain platform, which includes our flagship 180 HP E-Motion180E system. The E-Motion platform is designed to deliver continuous high horsepower, enhanced reliability, and a zero-emission boatingexperience through a purpose-built marine-grade motor, multisensor control architecture, dedicated cooling systems, and onboard chargingcapability through standard shore power. We also design and manufacture electric boats integrated with our propulsion systems and havehistorically offered electric boat rentals at select locations.
In June 2025, we expanded our business beyondmanufacturing and technology development through the acquisition of Nautical Ventures, a leading Florida-based multi-brand boat dealershipgroup. Nautical Ventures operates eight retail and service locations offering new and used recreational boats, parts, accessories, repairs,and maintenance services. Its product mix includes both electric and internal-combustion engine (“ICE”) boats, positioningthe business as a comprehensive provider of marine products to consumers and commercial customers. As disclosed in our filings, the acquisitionmaterially broadened our revenue base and improved margin profile, with Nautical Ventures contributing significant sales volume shortlyafter closing.
As a result, we now operate through two complementarybusiness segments: (i) electric propulsion and boat manufacturing, including ongoing development and commercialization of our E-Motion™systems and electric boat models; and (ii) retail sales and services through Nautical Ventures, which provides a scaled distribution platformand recurring service revenue. This integrated model enhances our market reach, strengthens operational synergies between technology andretail, and positions the Company to promote the adoption of electric propulsion while benefiting from a diversified revenue mix withinthe broader recreational marine industry.
Nautical Ventures’Operations
In June 2025, we acquired Nautical Ventureswhich sells boats, parts and accessories and offers services related to recreational boating. Nautical Ventures has eight locations inFlorida, consisting of four dealerships, a marina, a yacht tender service and a kayak rental. Despite the acquisition of Nautical Ventureshaving occurred in the past two and one-half months of our fiscal 2025, revenue from Nautical Ventures represented approximately 92.8%of our total revenue for our 2025 fiscal year. These operations represented approximately 65.2% of our total assets on August 31, 2025.
The bulk of Nautical Ventures revenues for theyear ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (approximately 89% and 90%, respectively) was derivedfrom the sale of boats from third-party manufacturers, the majority of which were manufactured by Axopar Boats Oy (“Axopar”).The remainder of Nautical Ventures revenues for those periods was primarily derived from the sale of boat parts and “water toys”(such as kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and electric personal watercraft), the provision of services and dockage fees.
Certain real estate used by Nautical Venturesdealership locations is held by entities controlled by the previous owner, and in connection with the acquisition, we obtained the rightto either acquire the real estate or receive the net proceeds from a sale, resulting in a recorded proceeds receivable of approximately$10.4 million as of June 20, 2025. Following the sale of the two North Palm Beach properties, this receivable was reduced to approximately$6.6 million upon our receipt of net proceeds totaling $3.8 million. The remaining real estate was appraised in October and November bythird-party valuation experts. Based on such latest appraised values, the real estate net of the related mortgages on those propertiesrepresents an estimated $11 million in equity value to the Company upon its sale.

Boat Sales
Nautical Ventures is primarily focused on thesale of recreational boats including both those with internal combustion engines and with electric propulsion. Nautical Ventures sellsboats through its dealerships in Ft. Lauderdale, Sarasota, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay and Pensacola, two of which locations are waterfrontdealerships. We are proud that in February 2025, Boating Industry magazine listed Nautical Ventures as number one in its rankingof the top 100 U.S. dealerships.
Fort Lauderdale dealership
Nautical Ventures has translated its experiencewith sales, servicing the customer and knowledge of the region in which it operates into annual sales of near or over $100 million inits past two full calendar years. With just under two and one-half months of operations in our 2025 fiscal year, the sale of boats byNautical Ventures accounted for approximately 80.5% of all of our revenue in our 2025 fiscal year.
Although, Nautical Ventures sells both new andused boats, the sale of new boats respectively accounted for approximately 79.7% and 81.9% of Nautical Ventures’ revenues in theyear ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. In particular, Nautical Ventures has had successin selling new models of boats manufactured by Axopar with such models accounting for approximately 51% of Nautical Ventures’ revenuesin the 2024 calendar year.
The sale of used boats accounted for approximately6.7% and 8.5% of Nautical Ventures revenues in the year ended December 31, 2024 fiscal and the three months ended March 31, 2025,respectively. We sell used versions of the new makes and models we offer and used boats of other makes and models generally taken as trade-ins.Our used boat sales depend on our ability to source a supply of high-quality used boats at attractive prices. We acquire a large portionof our used boat inventory through customer trade-ins. We strive to increase our used boat business through the availability of qualityused boat trade-ins generated from our new boat sales efforts, which are well-maintained through our service initiatives. Additionally,substantially all of our used boat inventory is posted on our digital properties, which expands the awareness and availability of ourproducts to a large audience of boating enthusiasts.
We believe that Vision Marine’s experiencewith electric boats enhances the ability of the network of dealerships provided by Nautical Ventures to sell electric boats. We envisionthe increased sale of electric boats by Nautical ventures to include both boats manufactured by us as well as those manufactured by thirdparties.
Other
In addition to selling boats, Nautical Venturesgenerates revenue by providing services for boat owners, selling parts needed for the maintenance of boats owned by our customers, sellingof water toys (such as inflatable and rideable toys) and renting kayaks, paddleboards and pontoons. With just under two and one-half monthsof operations in our 2025 fiscal year, these other revenue sources from Nautical Ventures accounted for approximately 12.2% of all ofour revenue in our 2025 fiscal year
| 4 |
We believe that we can expand revenue from productsand services related to boats through the Nautical Ventures network. In particular, we are pursuing efforts to expand our electric integrationservices in Florida to combine various components, including the electric motor, battery system, charging system, and control systems,to create a functional and efficient electric propulsion system and to increase revenue derived from the provision of financing and warrantyopportunities.
Floor Plan Financing
We finance most of our new and some of our usedboat inventory through standardized floor plan facilities with various financial institutions, manufacturer-affiliated finance companiesand other lending institutions. The new and used boat floor plan facilities bear interest at variable rates based on either the securedovernight financing rate or prime rates. The weighted average interest rate on floor plan facilities was 9.7% as of August 31, 2025. Thenew and used boat floor plan facilities are collateralized by boat inventory and other assets.
The vehicle floor plan facilities contain a numberof covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting Nautical Ventures with respect to the creation of liens and changes in ownership,officers and key management personnel. Nautical Ventures was not compliant with covenants of its floor plan due to a change of ownershipwhen Nautical Ventures Group purchased 86% of the shares held by a founding shareholder in 2023. In addition, Nautical Ventures was notcompliant with the covenant requiring threshold debt service coverage ratios due to the reduced margins throughout 2024 caused by excessivedealer inventory levels, fierce competition and high floor plan interest triggering technical defaults with 5 of its lenders, namely:
| · | Wells Fargo Commercial Finance |
| · | Bank of Montreal (BMO) |
| · | Valley National Bank |
| · | Shore Premier/Centennial Bank |
| · | Northpoint Commercial Finance |
In June 2025 all of the above lenders, exceptfor Wells Fargo Commercial Finance, consented to the change of ownership and signed Forbearance Agreements. The floor plan owed to WellsFargo Commercial Finance in the amount of $1,907,751 was assumed by one of the Company’s suppliers, Beneteau Group, and Wells FargoCommercial Finance is no longer a lender to the Company.
The balance on all floor plan financings as ofAugust 31, 2025 was $32,511,664, and was further reduced to approximately $22.1 million as of the end of November 2025.
As of December 4, 2025, the Northpoint CommercialFinance floor plan facility remains subject to a temporary funding freeze initiated by the lender as part of its annual credit and collateralreview. The Company has provided all requested information, continued to make required curtailments, and remains in good standing underthe terms of the facility. Discussions with Northpoint Commercial Finance to lift the freeze and resume normal funding are ongoing.
Our Legacy Electric FocusedOperations
We design and manufacture electric outboard powertrainsystems, power boats, and related technology and rent electric boats. These operations represented approximately 34.8% of our total assetson August 31, 2025. Although the operations of Nautical Ventures are included in less than two and one-half months of our fiscal 2025,these operations accounted for approximately 7.2% of our total revenue for the year ended August 31, 2025.
Our legacy operations related to electric boatsprimarily focus on the development of our electric outboard powertrain system that we believe is significantly more efficient and powerfulthan those currently being offered in the market today. In particular, we have recorded powertrain efficiencies of more than 96%, wellabove the 54% efficiency that we recorded for our principal competitor’s product. Increases in powertrain efficiency allow for morepower and range, both of which are highly desirable characteristics for consumers in the marketplace. Although our primary focus is onelectric outboard powertrain technology, we will continue to design, manufacture and sell our high-performance, fully-electric boats tocommercial and retail customers.
We have developed our first fully-electric outboardpowertrain system that combines an advanced battery pack, inverter, high-efficiency motor with proprietary union assembly between thetransmission and the electric motor design and extensive control software. Our technologies used in this powertrain system are designedto improve the efficiency of the outboard powertrain and, as a result, increase range and performance. We believe our approach in marketingand selling our powertrain technology to boat designers and manufacturers will enable us to leverage their distribution and servicingsystems with minimal capital outlay. We expect our core intellectual property contained within our outboard electric powertrain systemsto form the foundation for our future growth and for such systems to represent the majority of our revenue. In our 2025 fiscal year,we generated approximately $57 thousand in revenue from the sale of our powertrains.
| 5 |
We continue to manufacture hand-crafted, highlydurable, low maintenance, environmentally-friendly electric recreational powerboats. In our last three fiscal years, we manufactured 20,45 and 46 powerboats, respectively. We sell powerboats to retail customers and operators of rental fleets of powerboats through whichwe seek to build brand awareness. We intend to continue to build brand awareness by partnering with marina operators to offer rental fleetsof electric boats. We conduct our transactions directly to customers through our website or through a network of marinas, distributorsand show rooms.
In our fiscal year 2021, we expanded our businessto include rentals of electric powerboats by acquiring EB Rental, Ltd., an entity that rents electric boats in Newport Beach, California.Since that time, we added two more locations: one in Ventura, California which is held by EB Rental Ventura Corp. and one in Palm Beach,Florida which is held by EBR Palm Beach Inc. We plan on opening another rental operation in Dania Beach, Florida. In addition to generatingrevenues from the rental of our powerboats, our rental locations build brand awareness and act as an open-water showroom for potentialbuyers. On April 25, 2024, we sold EB Rental, Ltd. for $794,616 in order to partially finance patent applications for our electricoutboard powertrain systems.
Our Electric Outboard Powertrain Systems
A powertrain system is a vehicle’s infrastructurethat converts energy into movement. In an electric boat, that infrastructure starts at the battery pack, continues with an inverter, goesto the motor and ends with the propeller. Electric powertrains have less moving parts than powertrains for boats with an internal combustionengine and, as a result, tend to break less and require less complex servicing.
The efficiency of a powertrain system determinesthe range of a boat on a single battery charge and the speed at which the boat operates. We find existing electric powertrain systemsunsatisfactory because of their insufficient yields and limited power range. In 2015, we decided to research technology to take advantageof this vacuum and develop an in-house system, relying on existing third-party components where possible. We noted the need for innovationin the following areas:
| · | optimizing the electric motor to improve efficiency and range by customizing the power to the motor from different battery suppliers; |
| · | developing optimization software that reads and calibrates the controller to suit the current use of the outboard electric powertrain system; |
| · | using appropriate components, including the battery; |
| 6 |
| · | customizing gears and propellers to a boat’s specifications. We have recorded the efficiency of our principal competitor’s electric powertrain system as 54%, meaning that only 54% of the power leaving the battery pack reached the propeller, although their technology may have improved since that recording. Our proprietary union and direct transmission system allow our prototype powertrains to have an efficiency of 96% which provides a competitive advantage over current electric outboard motors. We have also chosen a propeller design which when combined with the efficiencies obtained using our proprietary union and transmission system, provides optimal results; and; |
| · | developing an innovative controller, in particular, one that: |
| o | improves control over thermal overheating and thus protects the electric powertrain system; |
| o | incorporates a dual electrical and mechanical cooling system allowing for a better performance of the electric powertrain system; |
| o | detects possible operating problems (for example cavitation); and |
| o | reduces jolts and noise. |
Our electric powertrain is designed to have 180hp (horsepower) and 236 Lb. ft at 96% load. Furthermore, the electric powertrain system will be liquid cooled as compared to air cooled.
In October 2021, we entered into a Manufactureand Supply Agreement with Linamar Corporation, a provider of manufacturing solutions and a developer of highly engineered products. Underthe terms of the agreement, we intend for McLaren Engineering, Linamar’s technology and product development team for its advancedmobility segment, to manufacture and assemble our E-Motion™ technology through testing, parts, tooling development, and designingthe union assembly for mass production of our electric powertrain at Linamar’s facility in Canada.
Once we have scaled up the production of our electricpowertrain, we intend for the Linamar Corporation to produce our electric powertrain for mass commercialization. Although we believe thatwe can produce up to 300 electric powertrains per year in our current facilities in addition to producing 150 boats per year,we believe that contracting out the production of the electric powertrains will allow us to dedicate more time and resources to the developmentof additional electric powertrains.
The production of our electric powertrains willconsist of assembling components from third parties, including battery packs, inverters and high-efficiency motors. We intend to use advancedbatteries primarily from two suppliers, Octillion and Neogy, but as we are able to use a wide range of batteries we could use other suppliers.We will source the inverters from UQM (Danfoss Editron) and motors from UQM (Danfoss Editron).
In January 2022, we announced our partnershipwith Octillion to develop a customized high voltage 35 KW high density battery. Octillion will manufacture a new advanced electric batterysystem, “Polar 35” to power our E-Motion™ outboard powertrain. The configuration of the battery pack is smaller thanthat of a typical fuel tank, which in turn makes it easier to custom fit in virtually any boat.
During that same period, we partnered with NextfourSolutions Ltd. to further develop a customized multifunctional display to be integrated within our E-Motion™ 180 fully electricpowertrain system. In February 2022, we partnered with Weismann Marine, LLC to design and develop a lower unit (or gearcase) assembly.We partnered with Hellcat Powerboats to include our outboard powertrain in the boat that achieved a world record speed of 109 mph foran all-electric boat in 2022.
Our electric powertrains are controlled by controlsoftware developed in house. We have used open-source software code to develop our own battery management system software that will betailored to regulate the power from the battery pack to the electric motor and its related systems.
In August 2023, our outboard powertrain wasincluded in the boat that broke our previously held world record speed for an all-electric boat when it achieved a speed of 116 mph. InOctober 2023, we announced the delivery of our E-Motion™ Electric Powertrain Technology to Groupe Beneteau, Four Winns to bethe inaugural electric motors integrated on the proposed Four Winns H2e Bowrider. As of the date hereof, we have not made any sales ofour electric motors to Four Winns.
In September 2024, we launched the E-Motion™180e inboard electric motor system. Delivering a continuous 180hp at the propeller, this new system opens an important market segmentfor us, significantly expanding the range of vessels that can benefit from its advanced electric propulsion technology. Following developmentand testing, this inboard system incorporates 95% of the components from the E-Motion™ outboard powertrain system, so that the outboardmotor system can relay performance of the inboard system. We believe that this integration allows us to extend our offerings within theelectric marine sector, positioning us to meet the growing demand for electric propulsion solutions in both outboard and inboard applications.

The Phantom is made out of plastic and is US Coast Guard approved. We launched the Phantom in our 2023 fiscal year. |
Sales
We envision that if we are able to mass produceour electric powertrains, a significant portion of our revenue will be generated from the sale of our electric powertrains. In fiscal2025, we made the first sale of our E-Motion™ Electric Powertrain System and generated $57 thousand from such sales. Although wehave received non-binding letters of intent from OEMs for the purchase of such powertrains, such letters may never result in any actualsales. The projected sales price for future sales of our electric outboard powertrain system will depend on the number of batteries usedand where it is sold. For the European market, we anticipate that the systems with Neogy batteries will sell for $60,000 for a one-batterysystem, $85,000 for a two-battery system and $115,000 for a three-battery system. For the U.S. market, we anticipate that the systemswith Octillion batteries will sell for $45,000 for a one-battery system, $65,000 for a two-battery system and $85,000 for a three-batterysystem.
Rentals
In our fiscal year 2021, we expanded our businessto include rentals of electric powerboats at one location in Newport Beach, California. In April 2023, we opened our second electricboat rental operation in Portside Ventura, California, and in December 2023, we opened our third electric boat rental operation inPalm Beach, Florida. In April 2024, we sold our electric boat rental operations located in Newport Beach, California, to StratégiesEB Inc. for $794,616. At the time of the sale, Stratégies EB Inc. was a related party because its controlling shareholder was amember of management of EB Rental, Ltd. prior to its sale. The sale of our rental operations in Newport Beach, California has significantlydecreased the size of our rental operations. We are currently in the process of opening a new electric boat rental facility in Dania Beach,Florida.
The electric boat rental business currently hasa fleet of approximately 8 powerboats. Rental rates range from $75 per hour to $215 per hour, plus a booking fee, with a minimum bookingof two hours. Once a powerboat in our fleet has over 200 hours of sailing time, we offer the powerboat for sale to the public. In our2025 fiscal year, our rental business represented approximately 1% of total revenue.

Strategy
We are a vertically integrated marine companyfocused on delivering a superior on-water experience through innovative propulsion systems and a multi-brand retail strategy. Our operationsspan the design and industrialization of high-voltage electric powertrain systems, the development of electric boats, and the retail distributionof both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) boats.
Following the acquisition of Nautical Ventures,a top-performing boat dealership network with nine locations across Florida, we have significantly expanded our access to retail customers.Through Nautical Ventures, we now offer a wide portfolio of leading recreational boat brands and models, giving us the ability to meeta broad spectrum of consumer demand, from entry-level boats to high-performance vessels. This footprint not only enables direct-to-consumersales but also allows us to embed electric models within an established sales pipeline traditionally centered on ICE products, acceleratingmainstream adoption of our electric offerings.
We also continue to sell electric boats directlyto commercial fleet operators and boat rental businesses, which serve as high-visibility testbeds for our propulsion technology. Theseinstallations contribute to brand awareness, generate recurring fleet sales, and allow new consumers to experience electric boating firsthand.
Nautical Ventures further provides an immediate,scalable service infrastructure. Several locations are equipped or will be upgraded to support electric boat service bays, giving VisionMarine the ability to offer after-sale support for our E-Motion™ propulsion systems and electric boat fleet. This creates a full-cycleownership experience for electric boat customers, from purchase to service, and enhances our value proposition in the retail environment.
At the same time, we continue to make our marine-specificelectric propulsion systems available to boat manufacturers through direct engagement. Our E-Motion™ powertrains are engineeredfor seamless integration by OEMs, allowing them to electrify existing platforms while maintaining design and performance standards. Wemarket these systems through trade shows, prototype demonstrations, and targeted outreach to selected manufacturers.
We believe that combining a controlled retailnetwork with a technology integration strategy positions us to scale efficiently, maintain visibility over the customer journey, and fosterbroader market adoption of electric propulsion. We will continue to invest in research and development, operational efficiency, and ourservice infrastructure to meet the growing demand across both recreational and commercial marine segments.

Risks Related to our Common Shares and thisOffering
The market price and liquidity of our common shares may be volatileand may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.
Our common shares began trading on the NasdaqCapital Market in November 2020. From the date of the start of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 to December 1, 2025,the highest closing price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $21,114 and the lowest closing price was $1.08. Additionally,the liquidity of our common shares may decrease, meaning that the demand for the purchase of our shares may not be at a level that allowsfor your sale at a desirable price or even the then market price if you wish to sell your common shares. The market value of our commonshares and their liquidity will continue to fluctuate due to the impact of any or all of the following factors:
| · | sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common shares; |
| · | announcements about us or our competitors; |
| · | litigation and other developments relating to our proprietary rights or those of our competitors; |
| · | conditions in the marine product industry; |
| · | governmental regulation and legislation; |
| · | variations in our anticipated or actual operating results; |
| · | change in securities analysts’ estimates of our performance, or our failure to meet analysts’ expectations; | |
| · | change in general economic trends; and |
| · | investor perception of our industry or our prospects. |
There is no trading market for our pre-fundedwarrants.
Unlike our common shares, no trading market existsfor our pre-funded warrants, and we do not intend to take steps to list our pre-funded warrants on any public exchange or quotation system.You should be prepared to only make a return on your investments in the pre-funded warrants if you exercise such warrants into commonshares and then resell the shares at a price above the exercise price. The market price for our common shares might never be above theexercise price of such warrants. If you exercise such warrants, you might not be able to sell them for a price above which you boughtthem, if at all.
Management will have broad discretion asto the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion as tothe use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of thisoffering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you willnot have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possiblethat the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company.

We may not receive any additional fundsupon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants.
Each pre-funded warrant may be exercised by wayof a cashless exercise, meaning that the holder may not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise, but instead would receive upon such exercisethe net number of common shares determined according to the formula set forth in the pre-funded warrants. Accordingly, we may not receiveany additional funds upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Even if the remainder of the exercise price on the pre-funded warrants,C$0.001, is paid in cash, such payment will be nominal and will not improve our ability to fund operations.
You will experience immediate and substantialdilution as a result of this offering.
The shares being offered hereby (including theshares underlying the pre-funded warrants) represent almost 150% of our current outstanding shares, and upon their issuance, your votingand economic rights will be substantially diluted. In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities,resulting in the further dilution of the ownership interests of our shareholders. We may issue additional common shares or other securitiesthat are convertible into or exercisable for common shares in order to raise additional capital, or in connection with hiring or retainingemployees, directors, or consultants, or in connection with future acquisitions of licenses to technology or diagnostic tests in connectionwith future business acquisitions, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional common shares or other securities,including those underlying the warrants and options we have issued and granted, would dilute the voting power of our shareholders, coulddilute the net tangible book value per share at the time of such future issuance and may create downward pressure on the trading priceof our common shares.
We may also issue preferred shares having rights,preferences, and privileges senior to the rights of our common shares with respect to dividends, rights to share in distributions of ourassets if we liquidate our company or voting rights. Any preferred shares may also be convertible into common shares on terms that wouldbe dilutive to holders of common shares.
Holders of pre-funded warrants purchasedin this offering will have no rights as common shareholders until such holders exercise their pre-funded warrants and acquire our commonshares.
Until holders of pre-funded warrants acquire commonshares upon exercise of such warrants, holders of pre-funded warrants will have no rights with respect to the common shares underlyingsuch pre-funded warrants. Upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common shareholderonly as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
We do not intend to pay dividends, and therewill thus be fewer ways in which you are able to make a gain on your investment.
We have never paid any cash or stock dividends,and we do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not providedfor in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of any dividends. Because we do not intend to declare dividends,any gain on your investment will need to result from an appreciation in the price of our common shares. There will therefore be fewerways in which you are able to make a gain on your investment.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limityour ability to buy and sell our common shares, which could depress the price of our shares.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommendingthat investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealersmust make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives,among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-pricedsecurities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers torecommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effecton the market for our shares and, thereby, depress their market prices.

Volatility in our common shares price maysubject us to securities litigation.
The market for our common shares may have, whencompared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility, and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than thatof a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation againsta company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation.Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
We are a foreign private issuer within themeaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domesticpublic companies.
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaningof the rules under the Exchange Act. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.For example:
| · | we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a domestic public company; |
| · | for interim reporting, we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic public companies; |
| · | we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation; |
| · | we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; |
| · | we are not required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and |
| · | we are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction. |
Our shareholders may not have access to certaininformation they may deem important and are accustomed to receiving from U.S. reporting companies.
Additionally, if we fail to retain our statusas a foreign private issuer, we will be required to report as a domestic issuer in the United States. Such a requirement would requireus, among other matters, to report our financial statements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such an adjustment wouldrequire significant cost and would require our management to adapt to such U.S. domestic reporting standards with which they are not fullyexperienced.
As an “emerging growth company”under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements. Such reduced disclosure may make our common shares lessattractive to investors.
For as long as we remain an “emerging growthcompany”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), we will elect to take advantageof certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growthcompanies”, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, and exemptions fromthe requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute paymentsnot previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rightsavailable to shareholders of more mature companies. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may bea less active trading market for such securities and their market prices may be more volatile.
We incur significant costs as a result ofbeing a public company, which costs will grow after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company.”
We incur significant legal, accounting and otherexpenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implementedby the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. We arean “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and we anticipate that we will cease being an emerging growth companyon September 1, 2026. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that areotherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement underSection 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission todelay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
| 22 |
Compliance with these rules and regulationsincreases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are nolonger an emerging growth company, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliancewith the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we havebeen required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls andprocedures. We have incurred additional costs in obtaining director and officer liability insurance. In addition, we incur additionalcosts associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serveon our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules andregulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timingof such costs.
If we are, or were to become, a passiveforeign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. investors in the offered securities wouldbe subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFICfor any taxable year if (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the averagequarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. We do not expect tobe a PFIC for our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be considereda PFIC for any taxable year. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held any offered securities,such investor would be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as ineligibility for any preferred tax rateson capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, an additional interest charge on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additionalreporting requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations. If we are characterized as a PFIC, a U.S. investor may be ableto make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the offered securities that would alleviate some of the adverse consequencesof PFIC status. Although U.S. tax rules also permit a U.S. investor to make a “qualified electing fund” election withrespect to the shares of a non-U.S. corporation that is a PFIC if the non-U.S. corporation provides certain information to its investors,we do not currently intend to provide the information that would be necessary for a U.S. investor to make a valid “qualified electingfund” election with respect to the offered securities.
A possible “short squeeze” dueto a sudden increase in demand of our common shares that largely exceeds supply may lead to price volatility in our common shares.
Following this offering, investors may purchaseour common shares to hedge existing exposure in our common shares or to speculate on the price of our common shares. Speculation on theprice of our common shares may involve long and short exposures. To the extent that aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of sharesof our common shares available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchaseour common shares for delivery to lenders of our common shares. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of ourcommon shares until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional common shares to cover their short position. This isoften referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in our common shares that arenot directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the common shares necessary to covertheir short position the price of our common shares may decline.

Although management believes that the assumption and expectationsreflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may have made misjudgments in preparing such forward-looking statements.Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: our expected production capacity, labor costs and material costs, no materialvariations in the current regulatory environment and our ability to obtain financing as and when required and on reasonable terms. Readersare cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used.

The forward-looking statements, including thestatements contained in the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Description of Business” and elsewhere in thisprospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factorsthat may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These importantfactors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors”. The forward-lookingstatements made herein relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made.
Although management has attempted to identifyimportant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may beother factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements might not prove to be accurate,as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements or we may have mademisjudgments in the course of preparing the forward-looking statements.

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING A FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER
We are considered a foreign private issuer. Inour capacity as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosureobligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers,directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Moreover, weare not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securitiesare registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selectivedisclosure of material information.
We may take advantage of these exemptions untilsuch time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% ofour outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (1) the majorityof our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (2) more than 50% of our assets are located in the UnitedStates or (3) our business is administered principally in the United States. The next date at which we will assess our status asa foreign private issuer is February 28, 2026, and the recent acquisition of Nautical Ventures increases the likelihood that we willcease to qualify as a foreign private issuer at the date of that assessment. If we deem that we are no longer a foreign private issuer,we will have to report as a U.S. domestic issuer beginning on September 1, 2026. Reporting as a U.S. domestic issuer will requiresignificant expense and time of our management.
We have elected to take advantage of certain reducedreporting and other requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the informationyou receive from other public companies in which you hold equity securities.
IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
The U.S. Congress passed the JOBS Act, which providesfor certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to reporting companies under the Exchange Act, that qualify as “emerginggrowth companies.” We are an “emerging growth company” and we will continue to qualify as an “emerging growthcompany” until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenuesof $1.235 billion (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more; (b) the last day of our fiscal yearfollowing the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statementunder the Securities Act; (c) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion innon-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer”, as defined in ExchangeAct Rule 12b–2. Therefore, we expect to continue to be an emerging growth company until August 31, 2026.
An emerging growth company may take advantageof specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| · | the ability to include only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure in this prospectus; and |
| · | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
| 24 |
We may take advantage of these provisions untilthe last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuantto an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company.We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million inmarket value of our common shares held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.We anticipate that we will cease being an emerging growth company starting September 1, 2026.
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offeringwill be approximately $7.0 million assuming the sale of all of the common shares in this offering, after deducting the estimated underwritingdiscounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, based on as the assumed public offering price of $1.08 per commonshare. If the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering willbe approximately $8.1 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payableby us.
We intend primarily to use the net proceeds fromthis offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including for inventory management and servicing our floorplan linesof credit, general and administrative expenses and prosecuting patent applications relating to our E-Motion™ electric powertraintechnology. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering for acquisitions or strategic investments in complementarybusinesses or technologies, however as of the date of this prospectus, no acquisition targets have been identified.
Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in the assumedpublic offering price of $1.08 per common share would increase (decrease) net proceeds to us by approximately $685,185 or $787,964if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, assuming the number of common shares we sell, as set forth on the coverpage of this prospectus, remains the same, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expensespayable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 100,000 common shares offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds tous by $108,000 assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same and before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.
To date, we have not paid any dividends on ouroutstanding common shares. The future payment of dividends will depend upon our financial requirements to fund further growth, our financialcondition and other factors which our Board of Directors may consider in the circumstances. We do not contemplate paying any dividendsin the immediate or foreseeable futures.

Investors in securities often experience immediatelydilution in their investment to the extent of the difference between the offering price per common share included in the securities andthe net tangible book value per common share after this offering. Such dilution would result in this offering if the offering price percommon share included in the securities is substantially in excess of the book value per common share attributable to the existingshareholders for our presently outstanding common shares. However, there is no such dilution in this offering as our net tangible bookvalue per share on a pro forma as adjusted basis is higher then the assumed offering price.
Net tangible book value represents the amountof our total consolidated tangible assets, which represent the amount of our total consolidated assets, excluding intangible assets, lesstotal consolidated liabilities. Our historical net tangible book value as of August 31, 2025 was $7,969,805, or $1.62 per commonshare. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangiblebook value per common share is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of outstanding common share as of August 31,2025.
Aftergiving effect to (i) the sale of properties under the Equity Purchase Agreement with Nautical Ventures, and (ii) theissuance of 101,598 common shares for services rendered (the “Post- August 31, 2025 Events”), our pro forma net tangible bookvalue as of August 31, 2025 would have been approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $1.59 per common share, based on 5,008,735shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma basis.
After giving effect to the Post- August 31, 2025 Events and theadditional proceeds we will receive from this offering and the shares to be issued in connection therewith, our pro forma as adjustednet tangible book value as of August 31, 2025 would have been approximately $14.9 million, or approximately $1.20 per common share, basedon shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma as adjusted basis.
| 26 |
Dilution is determined by subtracting pro formaas adjusted net tangible book value per share from the assumed offering price of $1.08 per common share, whichis the last reported sale price of our common share on Nasdaq on December 1, 2025, and after deducting the underwriter’s feesand estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible bookvalue after August 31, 2025 other than to give effect to the Post-August 31, 2025 Events and the sale of the common shares offeredin this offering (and assuming the immediate exercise of any pre-funded warrants sold in this offering), at an assumed offering priceof $1.08, which is the reported sale price of our common share on Nasdaq on December 1, 2025, after deducting the underwriter’sfees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming the sales of all of the securities we are offering, our pro forma as adjustednet tangible book value as of August 31, 2025 would have been approximately $14.9 million, or $1.20 per common share (or $16.0 millionor $1.19 per common share, if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible bookvalue of $0.39 per common share to the existing shareholders (or $0.40 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) and animmediate anti-dilution in net tangible book value of $0.12 per common share to investors purchasing securities in this offering (or $0.11if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). The following table illustrates such dilution: The following table (which excludesthe exercise of the over-allotment option) illustrates that there is no dilution in net tangible book value on a pro forma as adjustedbasis for investors participating in this offering:
| Assumed offering price per common share | $ | 1.08 | ||
| Net tangible book value per share as of August 31, 2025 | $ | 1.62 | ||
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of August 31, 2025 | $ | 1.59 | ||
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering | $ | 1.20 | ||
| Dilution per share to new investors in this offering | $ | (0.12 | ) |
The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrativeonly, and we will adjust this information based on the actual offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Thetables and discussion above are based on a total of 5,008,735 common shares issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2025.
To the extent that we issue additional commonshares in the future, there could be dilution to new investors participating in this offering.

LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF NON-CANADIANS

Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholdingtax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations ForNon-Canadian Holders,” below.

There is no limitation imposed by Canadian lawor by the charter or other constituent documents of our company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of our company.However, the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (the “Investment Act”) has rules regarding certain acquisitionsof shares by non-residents, along with other requirements under that legislation.
The following discussion summarizes the principalfeatures of the Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares of our company. The discussion is general only;it is not a substitute for independent legal advice from an investor’s own advisor; and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatoryamendments.
The Investment Act is a federal statute of broadapplication regulating the establishment and acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians, including individuals, governments oragencies thereof, corporations, partnerships, trusts or joint ventures (each an “entity”). Investments by non-Canadians toacquire control over existing Canadian businesses or to establish new ones are either reviewable or notifiable under the Investment Act.If an investment by a non-Canadian to acquire control over an existing Canadian business is reviewable under the Investment Act, the InvestmentAct generally prohibits implementation of the investment unless, after review, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development(the “Minister”), is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.
A non-Canadian would acquire control of our companyfor the purposes of the Investment Act through the acquisition of common shares if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the commonshares of our company.
Further, the acquisition of less than a majoritybut one-third or more of the common shares of our company would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of our company unless it couldbe established that, on the acquisition, our company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common shares.
For a direct acquisition that would result inan acquisition of control of our company, subject to the exception for “WTO-investors” that are controlled by persons whoare resident in World Trade Organization (“WTO”) member nations, a proposed investment would be reviewable where the valueof the acquired assets is $5 million or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investmentrelated to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, where the value of the acquired assets is less than $5 million.
For a proposed indirect acquisition by an investorother than a so-called WTO investor that would result in an acquisition of control of our company through the acquisition of a non-Canadianparent entity, the investment would be reviewable where the value of the assets of the entity carrying on the Canadian business, and ofall other entities in Canada, the control of which is acquired, directly or indirectly is $50 million or more. The threshold is reducedto $5 million or more for a direct acquisition of control of the company by a non-WTO investor.
In the case of a direct acquisition by or froma “WTO investor”, the threshold is significantly higher. An investment in common shares of our company by a WTO investor wouldbe reviewable only if it was an investment to acquire control of the company and the enterprise value of the assets of the company wasequal to or greater than a specified amount, which is published by the Minister after its determination for any particular year.This amount is currently $1.386 billion (unless the WTO member is party to one of a list of certain free trade agreements, in which casethe amount is currently $2.079 billion); since January 1, 2019, both thresholds are adjusted annually by a GDP (Gross Domestic Product)based index.
The higher WTO threshold for direct investmentsand the exemption for indirect investments do not apply where the relevant Canadian business is carrying on a “cultural business”.The acquisition of a Canadian business that is a “cultural business” is subject to lower review thresholds under the InvestmentAct because of the perceived sensitivity of the cultural sector.
In 2009 and 2024, important amendments were enactedto the Investment Act concerning investments that may be considered injurious to national security. If the Minister has reasonable groundsto believe that an investment by a non-Canadian “could be injurious to national security,” the Minister may send the non-Canadiana notice indicating that an order for review of the investment may be made. The review of an investment on the grounds of national securitymay occur whether or not an investment is otherwise subject to review on the basis of net benefit to Canada or otherwise subject to notificationunder the Investment Act. To date, there is neither legislation nor guidelines published, or anticipated to be published, on the meaningof “injurious to national security.” Discussions with government officials suggest that very few investment proposals willcause a review under these new sections. In 2016, 2021 and 2025, the government of Canada released a set of guidelines for the nationalsecurity review process. The guidelines state that, in assessing a proposed investment under the national security provisions of the InvestmentAct, the nature of the asset or business activities and the parties, including the potential for third party influence, involved in thetransaction will be considered. The guidelines also provide a list of factors that may be taken into account to determine whether a reviewof an investment on national security grounds will be conducted.
| 34 |
Certain transactions, except those to which thenational security provisions of the Investment Act may apply, relating to common shares of our company are exempt from the InvestmentAct, including:
| (a) | the acquisition of our common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities, |
| (b) | the acquisition of control of our company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions on the Investment Act, and | |
| (c) | the acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of our company, through the ownership of common shares, remained unchanged. |

Dividends
Dividends paid or credited on the common sharesor deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a Non-Canadian Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rateof 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Canadian Holder is entitled under any applicable income taxtreaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-U.S. TaxTreaty, where dividends on the common shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Canadian Holder that is the beneficial ownerof the dividends and a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits of, the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, the applicable rateof Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15% (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation beneficially owningat least 10% of all of the issued voting shares). We will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any dividend andremit it to the Canadian government for the Non-Canadian Holder’s account. Non-Canadian Holders are urged to consult theirown tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty.

Dispositions
A Non-Canadian Holder will not be subject to taxunder the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of an offered security, nor will capitallosses arising therefrom be recognized under the Canadian Tax Act, unless (i) the offered securities are “taxable Canadianproperty” to the Non-Canadian Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of disposition; and (ii) the Non-CanadianHolder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-CanadianHolder is resident.
Generally, the offered securities will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Canadian Holder at a particular time provided that the offered securities are listedat that time on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), which includes Nasdaq unless at any particulartime during the 60-month period that ends at that time:
| · | at least 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock was owned by or belonged to any combination of (a) the Non-Canadian Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Holder does not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and |
| · | more than 50% of the fair market value of the offered securities was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of : (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act) and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances,offered securities could be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.”
A Non-Canadian Holder’s capital gain (orcapital loss) of a disposition or deemed disposition of the offered securities that constitute or are deemed to constitute taxable Canadianproperty (and are not “treaty-protected property” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) generally will be computed and taxedas though the Non-Canadian Holder were a resident of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act. Such Non-Canadian Holder may be requiredto report the disposition or deemed disposition of offered securities by filing a tax return in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act. Non-CanadianHolders whose offered securities may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax and complianceconsiderations that may be relevant to them. The proceeds of disposition payable by the purchaser to the Non-Canadian Holder may be subjectto a mandatory withholding equal to 25% of such proceeds if the Non-Canadian Holder does not provide the purchaser with a proper certificateissued by the Canadian tax authorities.
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of UnitedStates federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of the offered securities by a U.S. holder (as definedbelow) that holds offered securities as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the United StatesInternal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal incometax law, which is subject to differing interpretations and may be changed, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been soughtfrom the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any United States federal income tax consequences describedbelow, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspectsof United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, includinginvestors subject to special tax rules (for example, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers,pension plans, cooperatives, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, partnershipsand their partners, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)),holders who are not U.S. holders, holders who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our voting shares, holderswho will hold offered securities as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for UnitedStates federal income tax purposes, or investors that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, all of whom maybe subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not discuss anynon-United States, alternative minimum tax, state, or local tax considerations, or the Medicare tax on net investment income. Each U.S.holder is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and othertax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of the offered securities.
General
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S.holder” is a beneficial owner of offered securities that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individualwho is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United Statesfederal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,(iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) atrust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more UnitedStates persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise elected to be treatedas a United States person under applicable United States Treasury regulations.
| 36 |
If a partnership (or other entity treated as apartnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of offered securities, the tax treatment of a partnerin the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding offeredsecurities and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal incometax consequences of an investment in the offered securities.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
A non-United States corporation, such as our company,will be a “passive foreign investment company,” or “PFIC,” for United States federal income tax purposes, if,in any particular taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive”income or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets (as determined on the basis of fair market value) duringsuch year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash is categorized as a passive asset andthe company’s unbooked intangibles associated with active business activities may generally be classified as active assets. Passiveincome generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets.We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporationin which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock.
The discussion below under “Dividends”and “Sale or Other Disposition of Offered Securities” is written on the basis that we will not be or become a PFIC for UnitedStates federal income tax purposes. The United States federal income tax rules that apply if we are a PFIC for the current taxable yearor any subsequent taxable year are generally discussed below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”
Dividends
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below,any cash distributions (including the amount of any tax withheld) paid on our common shares out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S.holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. holder. Because we do not intend to determine ourearnings and profits on the basis of United States federal income tax principles, any distribution paid will generally be reported asa “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes. A non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally besubject to tax on dividend income from a “qualified foreign corporation” at a reduced United States federal tax rate ratherthan the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain holding period requirements are met.
Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S.Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate,provided that (1) our common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (2) we areneither a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below) nor treated as such with respect to the U.S. Holder for our taxable yearin which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, (3) the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements,and (4) the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar orrelated property. Under IRS authority, common shares generally are considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradableon an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as our common shares are expectedto be. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respectto our common shares.
Sale or Other Disposition of Offered Securities
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below,a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of offered securities in an amount equalto the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such offered securities.Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the offered securities have been held for more than one year and will generally beUnited States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. holdersis generally eligible for a reduced rate of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. U.S. holdersare advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of the offered securities.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year duringwhich a U.S. holder holds our common shares, and unless the U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S.holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, forsubsequent taxable years, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. holder (which generally means any distributionpaid during a taxable year to a U.S. holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three precedingtaxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common shares), and (ii) any gain realized on thesale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of common shares. Under the PFIC rules:
| · | such excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common shares; |
| · | such amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, or pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income; and |
| · | such amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year; and an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year. |
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year duringwhich a U.S. holder holds our common shares and any of our non-United States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. holder would be treatedas owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S.holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.
As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S.holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election. Since we plan to have our common shares listedon the Nasdaq, and provided that the common shares will be regularly traded on the Nasdaq, a U.S. holder holds common shares will be eligibleto make a mark-to-market election if we are or were to become a PFIC. If a mark-to-market election is made, the U.S. holder will generally(i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of commonshares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such common shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinaryloss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the common shares over the fair market value of such common shares held at the endof the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.The U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-marketelection. If a U.S. holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC any gain recognized uponthe sale or other disposition of the common shares will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but onlyto the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. holder makes a mark-to-marketelection it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless thecommon shares are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of theelection.
If a U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market electionin respect of a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be a PFIC, the U.S. holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-marketgain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not a PFIC.
Because a mark-to-market election cannot be madefor any lower-tier PFICs that a PFIC may own, a U.S. holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our common shares maycontinue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. holder’s indirect interest in any of our non-UnitedStates subsidiaries if any of them is a PFIC.
We do not intend to provide information necessaryfor U.S. holders to make qualified electing fund elections, which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the generaltax treatment for PFICs described above.
Dividends that we pay on our common shares willnot be eligible for the reduced tax rate that applies to qualified dividend income if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in whichthe dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. In addition, if a U.S. holder owns our common shares during any taxable yearthat we are a PFIC, such holder would generally be required to file an annual IRS Form 8621. Each U.S. holder is advised to consultits tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences to such holder if we are or become a PFIC, including the possibility of makinga mark-
Treatment of Pre-Funded Warrants
Although not free from doubt, a pre-funded warrantshould be treated as a share of our common shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and a holder of pre-funded warrants should generallybe taxed in the same manner as a holder of common shares, as described below. Accordingly, no gain or loss should be recognized (otherthan with respect to cash paid in lieu of a fractional share) upon the exercise of a pre-funded warrant (except in the case of a cashlessexercise, the treatment of which for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not clear) and, upon exercise, the holding period of a pre-fundedwarrant should carry over to the share of common shares received. Similarly, the tax basis of the pre-funded warrant should carry overto the share of common shares received upon exercise, increased by the exercise price of C$0.001. The discussion below assumes the characterizationdescribed above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the risks associatedwith the acquisition of pre-funded warrants pursuant to this offering (including alternative characterizations).

Information Reporting
Certain U.S. holders may be required to reportinformation to the IRS relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-UnitedStates corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000 (or a higherdollar amount prescribed by the IRS), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintainedwith a United States financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. holder is required to submit such informationto the IRS and fails to do so.
In addition, U.S. holders may be subject to informationreporting to the IRS with respect to dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the offered securities. Each U.S.holder is advised to consult with its tax advisor regarding the application of the United States information reporting rules to theirparticular circumstances.

The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising the over-allotment option to purchase securitiesor purchasing securities in the open market. In determining the source of securities to close out the covered short position, the underwriterwill consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at whichthey may purchase securities through the over-allotment option to purchase securities. “Naked” short sales are sales in excessof the over-allotment option to purchase securities. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing securitiesin the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressureon the price of our securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizingtransactions consist of various bids for or purchases of securities made by the underwriter in the open market before the completion ofthe offering.
The underwriter makes no representation or predictionas to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. In addition,neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions,once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Passive Market Making
In connection with the offering, underwritersand selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common shares on the national securities market on whichour common shares are trading in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencementof offers or sales of the common shares or pre-funded warrants and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive marketmaker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bidsare lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution ofSecurities
A prospectus in electronic format may be madeavailable on the websites maintained by the underwriter. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of securities for sale to onlinebrokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s website and anyinformation contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter is not part of this prospectus or the registration statementof which this prospectus forms a part.

From time to time, the underwriter and/or theiraffiliates may provide in the future, various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary courseof business, for which it will receive customary fees and commissions. ThinkEquity LLC acted as underwriter in our November 2020public offering, for which it received compensation. We have paid ThinkEquity LLC approximately $2,007,000 and issued it (or its assignees)approximately 200,433 warrants to purchase common shares since September 1, 2022 for its services as a placement agent or as an underwriterin various security offerings, including under the placement agency agreement dated September 13, 2024, at the market sales agreementdated October 17, 2024, the placement agency agreement dated January 12, 2025 and the underwriting agreement dated August 15,2025.
On June 7, 2024, we entered into a strategicadvisory agreement with the underwriter, pursuant to which the underwriter agreed to serve as our exclusive financial advisor in connectionwith a potential business combination transaction or other transactions (the “Strategic Advisory Agreement”). A non-refundableadvisory fee equal to $45,000 (the “Advisory Fee”) is payable at the Company’s first closing of a minimum gross financingamount of $2,500,000. If during the term of the Strategic Advisory Agreement, or within the 12 month period following the term of theagreement, a business combination is completed with a target company introduced to us by the underwriter, the Company shall pay the underwritera cash fee equal to the greater of (i) 3% of the value of the business combination, and or (ii) $300,000, which amount shallbe reduced by the amount of the Advisory Fee, if any. In addition to any fees payable under the Strategic Advisory Agreement, the Companyagreed to pay the underwriter for all reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the agreement, includingthe preapproved and reasonable fees and expenses of the underwriter’s counsel and due diligence analysis efforts not to exceed $25,000.
| 43 |
On September 11, 2024, the Strategic AdvisoryAgreement was amended to grant the underwriter a right of first refusal in connection with future business combinations (the “Rightof First Refusal”). If during the term of the Strategic Advisory Agreement or within the twelve-month period following its expiration,and following the closing of a business combination with a company identified on a pre-approved list, we elect to pursue a subsequentbusiness combination, the underwriter shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to act as our exclusive financial advisorand sole investment banker for such transaction. If the underwriter accepts this engagement, the parties will enter into a separate agreementon customary terms, including provisions for appropriate fees and indemnification consistent with similar transactions. In accordancewith FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(a), this Right of First Refusal is limited to three years from the date of the amendment.
On July 11, 2025, we entered into a debtfinancing engagement agreement with the underwriter (the “Debt Engagement Agreement”), pursuant to which the underwriter agreedto act as a non-exclusive financial advisor and placement agent in connection with potential debt financing transactions. Under the termsof the Debt Engagement Agreement, if we complete a debt financing during the term of the agreement with a lender or investor introducedby the underwriter (a “Debt Financing”), we are required to pay the underwriter a cash fee equal to the greater of (i) 2.5%of the total facility size of the Debt Financing or (ii) $75,000.
In addition, upon the closing of a Debt Financing,we agreed to issue to the underwriter (or its designees) a five-year warrant to purchase a number of our common shares equal to 2.5% ofthe total facility size of such Debt Financing. The exercise price of these warrants will be equal to the price per share at which warrants,if any, are issued to the lender in such Debt Financing, or, if no such warrants are issued to the lender, the closing price of our commonshares on the date of the agreement. These warrants include a net-exercise feature and provide for one-time piggyback registration rights,unless the shares underlying the warrants are then freely tradeable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
The agreement provides that if any subsequentloans are executed, or if an existing loan is increased, within 18 months following the termination of the Debt Engagement Agreement witha lender or investor who participated in an initial Debt Financing for which the underwriter received a fee, we must pay the underwritera fee consistent with the foregoing compensation structure (i.e., 2.5% of new or incremental capital raised), payable at closing. TheDebt Engagement Agreement also includes customary indemnification and contribution provisions.
Except as disclosed in this prospectus, we have no present arrangementswith the underwriter or any of its affiliates for any further services.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATIONFOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arisingunder the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the SecuritiesAct and is therefore unenforceable.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a corporation organized under the lawsof Canada, and some of our directors and officers, as well as the Canadian independent registered public accounting firm named in the “Experts” section of this prospectus, reside outside of the United States. Service of process upon such persons may be difficultor impossible to effect within the United States. Furthermore, because a substantial portion of our assets, and substantially all theassets of our directors and officers and the Canadian expert named herein, are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtainedin the United States, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, againstus or any of such persons may not be collectible within the United States.
| 45 |
In addition, there is doubt as to the applicabilityof the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficultfor an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert United States securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.However, subject to certain time limitations, a foreign civil judgment, including a United States court judgment based upon the civilliability provisions of United States federal securities laws, may be enforced by a Canadian court, provided that:
| · | the judgment is enforceable in the jurisdiction in which it was given; |
| · | the judgment was obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction that recognizes and enforces similar judgments of Canadian courts, and the court had authority according to the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Canada; |
| · | adequate service of process was effected and the defendant had a reasonable opportunity to be heard; |
| · | the judgment is not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of Canada and its enforcement is not contrary to the laws governing enforcement of judgments; |
| · | the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; |
| · | the judgment is no longer appealable; and |
| · | an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Canadian court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court. |
Foreign judgments enforced by Canadian courtsgenerally will be payable in Canadian dollars. A Canadian court hearing an action to recover an amount in a non-Canadian currency willrender judgment for the equivalent amount in Canadian currency.
The name and address of our agent for serviceof process in the United States is CorpoMax Inc., 2915 Ogletown Road, Newark, DE 19713.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S- X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3. |
| (5) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

| (6) | Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
| (7) | For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
