223,880
Shares
Common
Stock
This
prospectus covers the sale of an aggregate of 223,880 shares (the “shares”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share
(the “common stock”), by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus (collectively with any of the holder’s
transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, the “selling stockholders”). The shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants
(the “warrants”) purchased by the selling stockholders in private placement transactions exempt from registration under Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements, dated
November 17, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreements”), with the selling stockholders. We are registering the resale of the shares
of common stock covered by this prospectus as required by the Purchase Agreements.
The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares, however, we will receive proceeds from
the exercise of the warrants if the warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.
We are paying the cost of registering the shares covered by this prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholders
are responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of the shares.
Sales
of the shares by the selling stockholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers
of the shares, or both. If required, the number of shares to be sold, the public offering price of those shares, the names of any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents and any applicable commission or discount will be included in a supplement to this prospectus, called a prospectus
supplement. Because all of the shares offered under this prospectus are being offered by the selling stockholders, we cannot currently
determine the price or prices at which the shares may be sold under this prospectus.
Our
common stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NVOS”. On April 15, 2022, the last reported
sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.30. You are urged to obtain current market quotations
for our common stock.
As
of April 15, 2022, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates is $36,063,177, based on
shares of outstanding common stock, of which approximately 11,595,877 shares are held by non-affiliates, and a per share price
of $3.11 based on the average of the bid and ask prices of our common stock on March 23, 2022 (which date is within 60 days prior
to the date of filing this prospectus). We have not offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the
12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus.

SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements
in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or the Exchange Act. Any statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding
the progress and timing of our product development programs; our future opportunities; our business strategy, future operations, anticipated
financial position, future revenues and projected costs; our management’s prospects, plans and objectives; and any other statements
about our management’s future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects constitute forward-looking statements. Examples
of such statements are those that include words such as “may,” “assume(s),” “forecast(s),” “position(s),”
“predict(s),” “strategy,” “will,” “expect(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),”
“believe(s),” “project(s),” “intend(s),” “plan(s),” “budget(s),” “potential,”
“continue” and variations thereof. However, the words cited as examples in the preceding sentence are not intended to be
exhaustive and any statements contained in this prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts may also constitute forward-looking
statements.
Because
these statements implicate risks and uncertainties, as well as certain assumptions, actual results may differ materially from those expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited
to, those risks identified under “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. The information in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement speaks
only as of the date of that document and the information incorporated herein by reference speaks only as of the date of the document
incorporated by reference. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives for future operations,
including plans and objectives relating to our products and services and our future economic performance. Assumptions relating to the
foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions as well as future
business decisions, including any acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments and any other business development
transactions we may enter into in the future. The amounts of time and money required to successfully complete development and commercialization
of our products and services as well as any evolution of or shift in our business plans, or to execute any future strategic options are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately and may involve factors that are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore,
we cannot assure you that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized.
Based
on the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements described herein, the inclusion of any such statement should
not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Accordingly, you should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

THE
COMPANY
Business
Overview
Novo
Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“Novo Integrated,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”)
was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled
to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. When used herein,
the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Novo Integrated and its consolidated
subsidiaries.
The
Company owns Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries which provide, or intend to provide, essential and differentiated solutions to the delivery
of multidisciplinary primary care and related wellness products through the integration of medical technology, interconnectivity, advanced
therapeutics, unique personalized product offerings, and rehabilitative science. The Company’s revenue was generated primarily
through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”), which provides our services and products through
both clinic and eldercare related operations.
We
believe that “decentralizing” healthcare, through the integration of medical technology and interconnectivity, is an essential
solution to the rapidly evolving fundamental transformation of how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered both now and in the future.
Specific to non-critical care, ongoing advancements in both medical technology and inter-connectivity are allowing for a shift of the
patient/practitioner relationship to the patient’s home and away from on-site visits to primary medical centers with mass-services.
This acceleration of “ease-of-access” in the patient/practitioner interaction for non-critical care diagnosis and subsequent
treatment minimizes the degradation of non-critical health conditions to critical conditions as well as allowing for more cost-effective
and efficient healthcare distribution.
The
Company’s decentralized healthcare business model is centered on three primary pillars to best support the transformation of non-catastrophic
healthcare delivery to patients and consumers:
|
● |
First Pillar: Service Networks.
Deliver multidisciplinary primary care services through (i) an affiliate network of clinic facilities, (ii) small and micro footprint
sized clinic facilities primarily located within the footprint of box-store commercial enterprises, (iii) clinic facilities operated
through a franchise relationship with the Company, and (iv) corporate operated clinic facilities. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Second Pillar: Technology.
Develop, deploy, and integrate sophisticated interconnected technology, interfacing the patient to the healthcare practitioner thus
expanding the reach and availability of the Company’s services, beyond the traditional clinic location, to geographic areas
not readily providing advanced, peripheral based healthcare services, including the patient’s home. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Third Pillar: Products.
Develop and distribute effective, personalized health and wellness product solutions allowing for the customization of patient preventative
care remedies and ultimately a healthier population. The Company’s science-first approach to product innovation further emphasizes
our mandate to create and provide over-the-counter preventative and maintenance care solutions. |
Innovation
through science combined with the integration of sophisticated, secure technology assures Novo Integrated Sciences of continued cutting
edge advancement in patient first platforms.
Recent
Developments
Coronavirus
(COVID-19)
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. On March 17, 2020, as a result of COVID-19
pandemic having been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental
authorities issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, on March 17, 2020, the Company
closed all corporate clinics for all in-clinic non-essential services to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners, and
patients.
On
May 26, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced updated guidance and directives stating that physiotherapists, chiropractors,
and other regulated health professionals, including services and products provided by the Company, can gradually and carefully begin
providing all services, including non-essential services, once the clinician and provider are satisfied all necessary precautions and
protocols are in place to protect the patients, the clinician and the clinic staff. With all corporate clinics closed due to the COVID-19
pandemic, with the exception of providing certain limited essential and emergency services, the Company had furloughed 48 full-time employees
and 35 part-time employees from its pre-closure levels of 81 full-time employees and 53 part-time employees specific to on-site clinic
and eldercare operations.
Specific
to our clinic-based services and products, operating under COVID-19 related authorized governmental proclamations and directives, between
March 17 through June 1, 2020, the Company provided in-clinic multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products solely to patients
with emergency and essential need while also providing certain virtual based services related to physiotherapy.
Specific
to our eldercare based services and products, operating under COVID-19 related authorized governmental proclamations and directives which
included certain eldercare related services being deemed essential, NHL was able to quickly expand its existing eldercare related physiotherapy
service “virtual-care” platform, which pre-pandemic was primarily focused on providing “virtual-care” services
to both smaller and remote eldercare homes to ensure access to service providers, when needed; and continuity of care to eldercare patients
without service providers in their area. Given NHL had established “virtual care” procedures and forms, complete with video
consent and assessment forms already vetted and approved by the Ontario College of Physiotherapists, NHL was well-positioned to expand
the delivery of certain of its eldercare related contracted services, via “virtual-care” technology, ensuring continuity
of service for our long-term care and retirement home clients.
On
June 2, 2020, the Company commenced opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services. As of February 28, 2022, all
corporate clinics were open and operational while following all mandated guidelines and protocols from Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry
of Health, and the respective disciplines’ regulatory Colleges to ensure a safe treatment environment for our staff and clients,
and our eldercare operations are fully operational. In addition, Acenzia, Inc. (“Acenzia”), Terragenx Inc. (“Terragenx”
or “Terra”) and PRO-DIP, LLC (“PRO-DIP”) are open and fully operational while following all local, state,
provincial, and national guidelines and protocols related to minimizing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canadian
federal and provincial COVID-19 governmental proclamations and directives, including interprovincial travel restrictions, have presented
unprecedented challenges to launching our Harvest Gold Farms and Kainai Cooperative joint ventures during the period ended February 28,
2022. Accordingly, the Company has decided to delay commencing the projects until the 2022 grow season. These joint ventures relate to
the development, management, and arrangement of medicinal farming projects involving industrial hemp for medicinal Cannabidiol (CBD)
applications.
Specific
to Acenzia, Terragenx, and PRO-DIP, each company is open and fully operational while following all local, state, provincial, and national
guidelines and protocols related to minimizing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For
the quarter ended February 28, 2022, the Company’s total revenue from all clinic and eldercare related contracted services was
$1,873,677, representing a decrease of $202,317 compared to $2,075,894 during the same period in 2021 primarily due to a COVID-19 surge
in Ontario province Canada limiting clinic and eldercare patient-practitioner direct personal interaction. As of November 30, 2021, specific
to on-site clinic and eldercare operations, the Company has 91 full-time employees and 60 part-time employees with a total employee count
amongst all subsidiaries of 124 full-time and 83 part-time employees.
While
all of the Company’s business units are operational at the time of this filing, any future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
Company’s operations remains unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted
with confidence, including, but not limited to, (i) the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and additional variants that may be identified,
(ii) new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (iii) any additional preventative and protective
actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced
patient traffic, and reduced operations.
Our
capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross
margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. We do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately
available to us.

a registered direct offering, (i) $16,666,666 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes, which
notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, under certain conditions (the “Notes”); and (ii) warrants

which was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2021. The Purchase closed on December 14, 2021.
The
Notes have an original issue discount of 10%, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $15,000,000. The Notes bear interest of 5%
per annum and mature on June 14, 2023, unless earlier converted or redeemed, subject to the right of the Purchaser to extend the date
under certain circumstances. The Company will make monthly payments on the first business day of each month commencing on the calendar

All amounts due under the Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, into common stock at
the initial conversion price of $2.00, which conversion price is subject to certain adjustments; provided, however, that the Notes have
a maximum 9.99% equity blocker. If an event of default occurs, the holder may convert all, or any part, of the principal amount of a
Note and all accrued and unpaid interest and late charge at an alternate conversion price, as described in the Notes. Subject to certain
conditions, the Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the remaining principal amount of the Notes and all accrued

Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and expire on the fourth year anniversary of December 14, 2021, the
initial issuance date of the Warrants. Subject to the satisfaction of customary equity conditions,
including the equity blocker and the Forced Exercise Limitation (hereinafter defined), at the Company’s option, the Company may
force the exercise of the Warrants at any time the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $5.00 (as adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.
“Forced Exercise Limitation” means the lesser of (i) 35% of the quotient of (x) the sum of the aggregate trading volume (as
reported on Bloomberg, LP) of shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market over the three consecutive trading
day period immediately prior to the applicable notice date, divided by (y) three or (ii) 20% of the aggregate trading volume (as reported
on Bloomberg, LP) of shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of the trading day immediately prior
to the applicable notice date.

The
term of the Chalil Agreement ends on the earlier of (i) April 5, 2025, and (ii) the time of the termination of Dr. Chalil’s employment
pursuant to the terms of the Chalil Agreement. The term of the Chalil Agreement will be automatically extended for one or more additional

98004 and our phone number is (206) 617-9797. Our corporate website address is www.novointegrated.com. The information contained
on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated in, and shall not be part of, this prospectus.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in the securities involves substantial risks. Before purchasing any of the securities, you should carefully consider and evaluate the
risk factors below and all of the information included and incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference herein from our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with
the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement. The
risks and uncertainties that we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect us. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely
impact our business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects and/or results of operations. Please also refer
to the section above entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the section below entitled “Where
You Can Find More Information.”
Our
common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There are a number of continued listing requirements that we must satisfy in order
to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We
cannot assure you our securities will meet the continued listing requirements to be listed on Nasdaq in the future. If Nasdaq delists
our common stock from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences including:
|
● |
a limited availability
of market quotations for our securities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a determination that our
common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules
and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a limited amount of news
and analyst coverage for our company; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
a decreased ability to
issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
If
we fail to maintain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market and Nasdaq determines
to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing
to repay debt and fund our operations.
If
our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq and the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, our common stock would
come within the definition of “penny stock”.
Transactions
in securities that are traded in the United States that are not traded on Nasdaq or on other securities exchange by companies, with net
tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and a market price per share of less than $5.00, may be subject to the “penny stock”
rules. The market price of our common stock is currently less than $5.00 per share. If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq and
the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share and our net tangible assets remain $5,000,000 or less, our common stock would
come within the definition of “penny stock”.
Under
these penny stock rules, broker-dealers that recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors:
|
● |
must make a special written
suitability determination for the purchaser; |
|
|
|
|
● |
receive the purchaser’s
written agreement to a transaction prior to sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide the purchaser with
risk disclosure documents which identify risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market
for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
obtain a signed and dated
acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before
a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed. |
As
a result of these requirements, if our common stock is at such time subject to the “penny stock” rules, broker-dealers may
find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in these shares in the United States may be significantly
limited. Accordingly, the market price of the shares may be depressed, and investors may find it more difficult to sell the shares.
Our
common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.
Our
common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although an active trading market has developed for our common stock, there can
be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will be sustained. Failure to maintain an active trading market for
our common stock may adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or at all. Our
common stock has experienced, and may experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
are registering these shares for resale by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered
by this prospectus. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants if the warrants are exercised for cash. We intend
to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time,
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock
exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices,
at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the
time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be affected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.
The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in
which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt
to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act
solely as agents; |
|
|
|
|
● |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale
by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules
of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
● |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through the writing or settlement of options or other
hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective
date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
|
|
|
● |
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders
to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a combination of any such methods of disposition; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities
Act, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.
If
the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in
sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for
the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by
them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares
of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
Each
Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement
or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. If the Company is notified in writing by a
Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block
trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement
to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder
and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were
sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s)
did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts
material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell
more than 500 shares of common stock , the Company will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable
securities law.
The
selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or
other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In
connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into
hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions
or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution
of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus
(as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under
the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than eight percent of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being
sold.
The
Company has advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability
of the common stock.
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common
stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents
from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. The Company
will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The
Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the
selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.
The
Company has agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective
until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance
with the registration statement, or (b) the date on which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold or transferred
by non-affiliates without any volume limitations or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
We
have prepared this prospectus to allow Jefferson Street Capital, LLC and Platinum Point Capital, LLC, as selling stockholders, to offer
for resale, from time to time, up to 223,880 shares of our common stock issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of certain
warrants currently held by the respective selling stockholders.
On
November 17, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with each of the selling stockholders, which are institutional
and accredited investors (the “Purchase Agreements”), whereby, among other things, the Company issued and sold warrants (the
“warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 223,880 shares of common stock (the “shares”) and an exercise
price of $3.35 per share. The 111,940 warrants issued to Jefferson Street Capital, LLC expire on November 17, 2024 and the warrants issued
to 111,940 Platinum Point Capital, LLC expire on November 17, 2024.
The
warrants and the shares of common stock issuable thereunder were sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule
506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors.
The
selling stockholders listed in the table below may from time to time offer and sell any or all shares of our common stock set forth below
pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the
table below, and the pledgees, donees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the selling
stockholders’ interests in shares of our common stock other than through a public sale.
The
following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the selling stockholders for whom we are registering shares
for resale to the public, and the number of such shares that each such selling stockholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus. Applicable
percentages are based on 29,925,613 shares of common stock outstanding on April 15, 2022.
We
cannot advise as to whether the selling stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares. In addition, the selling stockholders
may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time,
the shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which they provided the
information set forth on the table below.

DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
The
following description of our common stock is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety
by reference to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation”)
and our Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We encourage you to read our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised
Statutes (“NRS”) for additional information.
As
of April 15, 2022, we are authorized to issue up to 499,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. As of April 15,
2022, there were 29,925,613 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held by 527 active holders of record. The authorized
and unissued shares of common stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required
by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our common stock may be listed. Unless approval of our stockholders is
so required, our board of directors will not seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of either our common stock.
Holders
of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of
common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election
of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the voting power
of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute
a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.
Holders
of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that our Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from
legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate
pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference
over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions
applicable to the Company’s common stock.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation
Provisions
of the NRS and our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a
tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would
be expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids our board of directors may consider inadequate
and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection
of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the
disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result
in an improvement of their terms.
Effects
of authorized but unissued common stock and blank check preferred stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized
but unissued common stock and undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage
an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the
continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover
proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more
transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting
or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other
hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate
or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.
In
addition, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized
and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available
for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting
rights, of those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.
Prohibition
on Cumulative Voting. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Removal
of Directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that any director may be removed from office only by
the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled
to vote.
Vacancies
on the Board. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the number of directors, or any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, removal, or other causes, shall
be filled solely by the quorum of the Board.
Bylaws.
Our Bylaws authorize the board of directors to amend the bylaws by a majority vote of the Board.
Calling
of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides that a special meeting of the
stockholders of the Company for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the President or the Secretary of the Company by
resolution of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock
issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.
Authorized
but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance
without shareholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Interested
Stockholder Statute. We are subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (Nevada Revised Statutes
(“NRS”) Sections 78.411 through 78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination”
with us, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates,
beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of our capital stock entitled to vote. We have, however,
elected in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to not be governed by the provisions of NRS Sections 78.411 through 78.444.
Limitations
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. NRS limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations
and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation include provisions that require us to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the NRS, our directors
or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our company, or for serving at our request as a director
or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking
from the indemnified party as may be required under the NRS. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’
insurance to protect our company, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.
The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the NRS and in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also
have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder,
to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover,
the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws.
Transfer

Pacific
Stock Transfer Company (“Transfer Agent”) is our transfer agent and registrar.
The
Transfer Agent’s address is at 6725 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 300, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 and its telephone number is (702) 361-3033.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered will be passed on for us by Anthony L.G., PLLC, West
Palm Beach, Florida.
EXPERTS
The
financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended August 31, 2021
and 2020 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of SRCO Professional Corporation, independent registered public accounting
firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
LIMITATION
ON LIABILITY AND DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our
directors and officers are indemnified by our bylaws against amounts actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the company.
Our articles of incorporation provide that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable for damages for breach of any
fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to such directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by such director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any
action, lawsuit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
we will, unless in the opinion of 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and may, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors, so indemnify
our officers and any other person whom we have the power to indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matter. This indemnification
policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.
Our
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable
to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided, however, that the foregoing
provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct,
fraud or knowing violation of law, or the unlawful payment of dividends. Limitations on liability provided for in our Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, do not restrict the availability of non-monetary remedies and do not affect a director’s
responsibility under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
We
believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and directors.
The inclusion of these provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, may have the effect of reducing
a likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit
against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us or our
shareholders.
Insofar
as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Exchange Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to provisions of the articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us 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 offered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
At
the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which
indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim
for such indemnification.

Item
17. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 193, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration
statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date.
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining 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 communications that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by
