Texas Rare EarthMineral Resources Corp

Corp.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

November 30, 2015

2016

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Texas Rare EarthMineral Resources Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Corporation”“Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended August 31, 2015,2016, dated November 30, 2015December 14, 2016 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 20152016 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $31,565,422$32,624,803 as of November 30, 20152016 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and or private placement of common stock.


On March 14, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Texas Rare Earth Resources Corp” to “Texas Mineral Resources Corp”. The amendment shall be effective at 9:00 am EST on March 21, 2016. The Certificate of Amendment did not make any other amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

NOTE 2 – MINERAL PROPERTIES


September 2011 Lease


On September 2, 2011, we entered into a new mining lease with the Texas General Land Office covering Sections 7 and 18 of Township 7, Block 71 and Section 12 of Block 72, covering approximately 860 acres at Round Top Mountain in Hudspeth County, Texas. The mining lease issued by the Texas General Land Office gives us the right to explore, produce, develop, mine, extract, mill, remove, and market beryllium, uranium, rare earth elements, all other base and precious metals, industrial minerals and construction materials and all other minerals excluding oil, gas, coal, lignite, sulfur, salt, and potash. The term of the lease is nineteen years so long as minerals are produced in paying quantities.


Under the lease, we will pay the State of Texas a lease bonus of $142,518; $44,718 of which was paid upon the execution of the lease, and $97,800 which will be due when we submit a supplemental plan of operations to conduct mining. Upon the sale of minerals removed from Round Top, we will pay the State of Texas a $500,000 minimum advance royalty.


Thereafter, we will pay the State of Texas a production royalty equal to eight percent (8%) of the market value of uranium and other fissionable materials removed and sold from Round Top and six and one quarter percent (61/4%) of the market value of all other minerals removed and sold from Round Top.


Thereafter, assuming production of paying quantities has not been obtained, we may pay additional delay rental fees to extend the term of the lease for successive one (1) year periods pursuant to the following schedule:

March 2013 Lease


On March 6, 2013, we entered into a lease assignment (the “Lease Assignment Agreement”) with Southwest Range & Wildlife Foundation, Inc., a Texas non-profit corporation (the “Foundation”), pursuant to which the Foundation agreed to assign to us a surface lease identified with the State of Texas as Surface Lease SL20040002 (the “West Lease”), which covers 54,990.11 acres in Hudspeth County, Texas. In exchange for the West Lease, we agreed to: (i) pay the Foundation $500,000 in cash; (ii) issue 1,063,830 of our common shares, par value $0.01 (the “Common Shares”); and (iii) make ten (10) payments to the Foundation of $45,000 each. The first payment was made in June 2013, and the nine (9) subsequent payments due on or before June 1 of each of the following years, such payments to be used by the Foundation to support conservation efforts within the Rio Grande Basin. The Lease Assignment Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants. The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Lease Assignment Agreement was completed on March 8, 2013.


As of November 30, 2016 the fourth annual payment of $45,000 was not paid for the June 2016 payment; however, the Company has received a waiver until May 31, 2017 for payment.

October 2014 Surface Option

In October 2014, we executed an agreement with the Texas General Land Office securing the option to purchase the surface rights covering the potential Round Top project mine and plant areas.

areas, and separately a lease to develop the water necessary for the potential Round Top project mine operations.

The option to purchase the surface rights covers approximately 5,670 acres over the mining lease and the additional acreage adequate to site all potential heap leaching and processing operations as currently anticipated by the Company. We may exercise the option for all or part of the option acreage at any time during the sixteen year primary term of the mineral lease. The option can be kept current by an annual payment of $10,000.$10,000 due in October, which has not been paid as of January 11, 2017. The purchase price will be the appraised value of the surface at the time of exercising the option.

The ground water lease secures our right to develop the ground water within a 13,120 acre lease area located approximately 4 miles from the Round Top deposit. The lease area contains five existing water wells. It is anticipated that all potential water needs for the Round Top project mine operations would be satisfied by the existing wells covered by this water lease. This lease has an annual minimum production payment of $5,000 prior to production of water for the operation due in October, which has not been paid as of January 11, 2017. After initiation of production we will pay $0.95 per thousand gallons or $20,000 annually, whichever is greater. This lease remains effective as long as the West Lease is in effect.

The Pagnotti Enterprises Inc. Memorandum of Understanding

On June 28, 2016 TMRC executed a Memorandum of understanding with Pagnotti Enterprises Inc. (“PEI”) of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, owners of the Jeddo Coal Co., whereby under specified terms TMRC could lease one or more of Jeddo’s deposits located in the anthracite region of northeast Pennsylvania. Research by the Department of Energy (DOE) has shown that these coal deposits and the sandstones and siltstones immediately associated with them contain anomalously high values of rare earth and on particular interest, Scandium. The DOE research to date has indicated that the rare earth can be efficiently extracted from pulverized rock using ammonium sulfate as the lixiviant. TMRC is in the process of preparing an application for a federal grant to design and construct a continuous ion exchange/continuous ion chromatography (CIX/CIC) pilot plant to be delivered to a designated project area in the Appalachian cold province. TMRC and its co-applicants, K-Tech, Inventure Renewables, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Penn State University are proposing to plan, develop, design and install the CIX/CIC pilot plant at one of the Jeddo Coal properties. The award of this grant is expected to be in March 2017. The application for this award is competitive and others are participating.


Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed 28 June 2016, TMRC had a six months term to perform the necessary due diligence and to technically and economically evaluate the properties. Upon execution of the MOU TMRC and PEI will have six months to draft and execute a formal lease agreement containing all the standard terms of mining lease agreements. TMRC will be obligated to pay a $5,000 per month rental or a 12% royalty whichever is greater upon execution of the lease with PEI. TMRC has asked for and received an extension of the original six months due diligence period to the new due date of June 30, 2017. 

NOTE 3 – NOTENOTES PAYABLE

In relation to the Foundation lease discussed in Note 24 the Company recorded a note payable for an amount for the initial $45,000 due upon signing of lease and the nine (9) future payments due of $45,000 which has been recorded at its present value discounted with an imputed interest rate of 5% for a total note payable of $364,852. As of November 30, 2015the date of this filing, we hadhave not madepaid the thirdfourth installment that was dueof our surface lease in May 2015. Therefore, the entire balanceamount of $45,000 to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation. As a result the full amount of the note payable has been classified as currently due. The Company has received a current liability.  waiver until May 31, 2017 for the June 2016 payment. The note payable balance as of November 30, 2016 and August 31, 2016 was $260,387.

The promissory note hasloans have a relative fair value of $56,766$3,815 and the warrants hashave a relative fair value of $23,234$1,185 at the date of issuance determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair market value are as follows: (i) risk-free interest rate of 1.49%1.00% (ii) estimated volatility of 198%185% (iii) dividend yield of 0.00% and (iv) expected life of the warrants of five years.

Overview


We are a mining company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties. We currently hold two nineteen year leases, executed in September 2011 and November 2011, to explore and develop a 950 acre rare earths project located in Hudspeth County, Texas known as the Round Top Project and prospecting permits covering an adjacent 9,345 acres. Our principal focus will be on developing a metallurgical process to concentrate or otherwise extract the metals from the Round Top rhyolite, although we will continue to examine other opportunities in the region as they develop. We currently have limited operations and have not established that any of our projects or properties contain any Proven or Probable Reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7. Our operations are exploratory in nature.


We currently do not have any producing properties and consequently, we have no current operating income or cash flow and have not generated any revenues. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and practical feasibility of any of our properties is determined.


On December 23, 2013, we published a revised version of the June 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Revised PEA”) on the Round Top Project based on a 20,000 tonne per day heap leach operation using a conventional element separation plant. The mineralized material estimate was recalculated to include uranium, niobium, tantalum and tin. The revised PEA assesses the potential economic viability of the simplified and "scaled“scaled down” operation which we believe is a much better fit with the present rare earth market.


On September 8, 2014, we announced that we had completed an internal analysis suggesting that there is a reasonable possibility to adapt a lower volume staged growth approach to development of our Round Top project. The analysis indicated that an operation designed to produce a selected group of separated REE products in the range of 350-450 tonnes per year range, could potentially yield favorable mine economics. The goal of the proposed staged approach would be to increase mining rates if and when our products gained acceptability. The analysis suggested that capital needs in the Revised PEA could be proportionally reduced in relation to the lower volume initial stage. We are currently conducting a more detailed analysis of the relative capital expenses and operating expenses requirements of a scaled down processing plant with both solvent extraction and ion exchange processes under evaluation. We believe the lower capital requirements of a staged startup could offset any marginal increase in unit operating costs.


Our current management and Board are stockholder-centric, and receive either no cash compensation or much less than previous management. We will require definitive scientific documentation, rigorous economic studies, consideration of a wide range of alternatives and meticulous oversight of any cash outlays of stockholder funds.


Current Plan of Operations


Continued Work Program on Round Top Project


Metallurgical research done leading to the publication of our Revised PEA of December 2013 has shown the possibility of heap leaching at the Round Top Project. This first step of "dissolving" the REE bearing mineral is the critical factor in the determination to develop REE projects. The type of solvent, its strength and other conditioning necessary to render the elements soluble is, in our opinion, what most affects the ultimate feasibility of a project. TRER has been able to extract a high percentage of the REE and other elements from the mineralized rock at the Round Top Project, and test work to date also indicates it can be done easily and at projected low operating costs.

In late 2014, we addressed and completed the ion exchange purification of the pregnant leach solution part of Stage 1 as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. as filed on November 30, 2015.  This was to demonstrate process to remove the rare earth elements from an impure, relatively high flow rate pregnant leach solution (LLS) and produce a solution with a high concentration of rare earth, low impurities and low flow rate feedstock to be fed to the final element separation plant. As announced on December 9, 2014, we have, at bench scale, employing ion exchange been able to process a low grade solution containing approximately 30 to 1 impurities over rare earth elements and produce a feed stock solution with approximately .5 to 1 impurities to rare earth elements.

Our Stage 1 bench scale testing to produce separate high purity individual rare earth elements is in progress at this time.

This will be followed by Stage 2 which will be pilot plant scale testing to define the operating parameters, capital costs and operating cost of the removal of the rare earth from the pls and the process to produce the high purity separated rare earth products for sale. Stage 2 will also design the process to separate and purify such by-product and potential by-products as uranium and thorium. Stage 3 will be the engineering and design work necessary to bring the processing plant to full feasibility with completed engineering, design, tables of organization and equipment and the required permitting and regulatory approvals.

Following our recent financing in December 2015, we are advancing Stage 2 however we currently do not have sufficient funds to complete Stage 2 pilot plant scale testing and will need to raise additional financing to fund our ongoing operations and future exploration activities.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

See “Properties – Current and Planned Metallurgical Activities” in our Annual Report as filed with the SEC on November 30, 2015 for a more detailed description of our current work activities and budget for the Round Top Project.


Exploration Potential of the Round Top Property


Although we have no plans in the next 24 months to conduct more physical exploration, we do believe, as stated in our 2010 presentations, that there are untested exploration targets present. They are:


1.Uranium-beryllium mineralization at the lower contact of the rhyolite and the underlying sedimentary rock. This class of mineralization was the target of the successful exploration program conducted in the late 1980's1980’s by Cabot Corporation and Cyprus Exploration. It appears to be structurally controlled and associated with a later phase of hydrothermal or gas phase deposition that occurred sometime after the emplacement of the rhyolite. This fluorite-beryllium replacement mineralization in what is termed the West Side Fault under the north side of Round Top was the topic of a 1988 in-house feasibility study by Cyprus Minerals to historical standards (not NI 43-101 compliant under today’s Canadian regulations, not an SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant feasibility study) to produce beryllium. This zone is the location of the intact decline and lateral mine workings developed by Cyprus Minerals in 1988-89. Sampling and analysis by TRERTMRC indicates the presence of uranium mineralization occurring adjacent to and likely associated with these beryllium bearing structures. This "Contact Zone"“Contact Zone” mineralization is not restricted to Round Top and is present under the Sierra Blanca rhyolite and there is some evidence in drill holes on Little Blanca that this style of mineralization may also be present there.


2.Uranium-beryllium-rare earth and other rare metals hosted as structurally controlled fluorite replacements in the limestones at depth below the known deposits. Geologic and geochemical conditions are thought to be conducive for the emplacement of replacement type deposits within the same fault zones that hosted the known beryllium-uranium deposits at depth where favorable host limestones are present. We believe that careful compilation and analysis of existing surface geologic mapping and of the drill data may better define these targets.

We believe that using the existing data we can improve our understanding of the exploration potential of the area without resorting to such expensive techniques such as drilling.

Actively Seeking Project Partners


In addition to pursuing the exploration of our Round Top Project, we are actively seeking industry partners to assist the Company in financing the exploration and, if warranted, development of the Round Top Project. While we do not currently have any agreements and do not anticipate any agreements in the near future, we are actively engaged in pursuing partners for the Round Top Project for a range of participation, including but not limited to, joint-venture arrangements, project sale, significant investment in the Company, back-end processing and product sales arrangements and other financing arrangements to assist in the Round Top Project.

Amended Reetech Agreements

On October 18, 2015, Texas Rare Earth Resources Corp. (“TRER”) entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”), effective August 27, 2015, with K-Technologies,

Development of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Scandium Project.

Development of the Scandium potential of the Pagnotti Enterprises Inc. (“K-Tech”), regarding certain amendmentsproperties is proceeding along two paths. One is the application to the limited liability company agreement (the “Agreement”)DOE for Reetech, LLC (“Reetech”), TRER’s joint-venture with K-Tech fora Federal Grant. The other is to seek private financing of the purposesproject. These two strategies are not mutually exclusive but also hold the option of developing refining and marketing K-Tech’s Continuous Ion Exchange (“CIX”) and Continuous Ion Chromatography (“CIC”) technology as it applies to the extraction of rare earth elements from native ores and other related products of value (the “Technology”).  Concurrently with the executiontwo or more of the Amendment, TRER, K-Tech and Reetech entered into amendments to the two licenses which are referenced in the Agreement, one between K-Tech and Reetech, licensing the Technology to Reetech (the “Amended Reetech License”), and one between Reetech and TRER, regarding the future licensing of the Technology to TRER (the “Amended TRER License”).


Pursuant to the Amendment, K-Tech has agreed to amend the Agreement to change the conditions upon which TRER may earn its 49.9% membership percentage interest in Reetech through special capital contributions.  Principally, before the Amendment, TRER could only earn additional membership percentage interests through cash expenditures to advance the development of the Technology upon the occurrence of certain milestones as set forth in the Agreement.  The Amendment provides that TRER may now earn additional membership percentage interests in Reetech, up to the maximum percentage interest of 49.9%, through both (i) the cash contributions towards development of the Technology upon the occurrence of certain development milestones (same as in the Agreement prior to Amendment) and (ii) by TRER being the procuring cause of third-party business for Reetech, in which case TRER will be credited with capital contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the revenue generated by such third-party business.  To be the “procuring cause” of business, Reetech and the third-party business client must have been brought together and the third-party business client must have become a client of Reetech as the result of the continuous efforts of TRER. Upon the receipt of either (i) any additional cash contribution from TRER upon reaching each milestone or (ii) revenue generated from third-party businesses of which TRER was the procuring cause, Reetech shall automatically adjust the units of Reetech owned by TRER by amending Schedule A of the Agreement such that TRER owns a percentage ownership in the units that is calculated as the sum of the amounts of (i) capital contributed to Reetech to that point by TRER, and (ii) revenue generated from third-party business procured by TRER, up to a maximum aggregate total of $7.0 million, divided by $7.0 million and then multiplied by 0.499. TRER continues to have no obligation to make any additional cash contributions to Reetech pursuant to the Agreement if Phase 1 milestones as set forth in the Agreement are not met to TRER’s satisfaction.

In consideration of the expansion of TRER’s right to earn additional membership percentage interests in Reetech, TRER and K-Tech have further amended the Agreement to provide the following:

•           Whereas the Agreement currently contemplates that the three managers of Reetech shall be appointed one by K-Tech, one by TRER and one by mutual agreement, the Amendment provides that until such time as TRER has been credited with the cumulative contribution to Reetech of either (i) $2.0 million in capital contributions made by TRER, (ii) $3.5 million in collected revenue from third-party business clients of which TRER was the procuring cause (as defined in the Amendment), or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) that total $3.5 million, one manager shall be appointed by TRER and the remaining two managers shall be appointed by K-Tech. Following such contribution conditions being met, the Agreement will revert back to its original manager appointment provisions.

•           The Agreement has been amended to provide that until such time as TRER shall have earned its 49.9% interest in Reetech, K-Tech shall supervise the business of Reetech and K-Tech shall be the sole recipient of any profits realized from the business of Reetech.

•           The Agreement has been amended to add a definition of “Rare Earths”, define “Third-Party JV Business” as business conducted for Reetech for or on behalf of a person or entity that is not K-Tech or TRER, and change the definition of “Field of Use” and “JV Business” relating to the agreed business scope of Reetech to be limited to: the primary extraction/impurity rejection; group separation of Rare Earths; and further separation and purification for the production of individual purified Rare Earths or mixed purified Rare Earths oxides or carbonates, as well as other products of value, including but not limited to any type of species of value derived from Rare Earths mining and/or beneficiation operations that are generally subjected to acid, alkali, or alkaline leaching.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of November 30, 2015,2016, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $258,000$967,000 and a cash balance of approximately $563,000.$800. We will need to raise additional funding to implement our business strategy

Our management believes that based on our current working capital, we will be able

We currently need to continue operations only through the first half of calendar year 2016 without raisingraise additional capital. During our fiscal year ending August 31, 2016,2017, we plan to minimizehave minimized spending for metallurgical testing and flow sheer development, additional geologic and resource modeling and compliance costs associated with state governmental agencies and appropriate staff and consulting expenses until such time we raise additional capital or secure a strategic partner. The timing of these expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of third party contractors.

During the current fiscal year ending August 31, 2016 and 2017, we planhad planned to complete Stage 1of our metallurgical activities as discussed in the section heading “ITEM 2. PROPERTIES” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on November 30, 2015.December 14, 2016. Our budget for the metallurgical component of Stage 1 activity is approximately $241,000. To date we have expended approximately $134,000 of the budgeted amount on the Stage 1 metallurgical activities. Stage 1 is not yet complete.


12

As of November 30, 2015, we had not paid the third installment of our surface lease in the amount of $45,000 to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation. As a result the full amount of the note payable has been classified as currently due. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement with the Foundation on December 7, 2015, the Foundation agreed to invest $10,000 of the amounts due and payable under the Lease Agreement into Units issued the Offering.  In connection with the Settlement Agreement, we issued 50,000 Units to Southwest in exchange for the investment of $10,000 of the amounts due and payable under the Lease Agreement into Units issued in the Offering.

The audit opinion and notes that accompany our financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015,2016, disclose a ‘going concern’ qualification to our ability to continue in business. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception. We do not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and raising additional funds. We believe that the going concern condition cannot be removed with confidence until the Company has entered into a business climate where funding of its activities is more assured.

We currently do not have funds to pursue exploration or development work on any of our properties, which means that we will be required to raise additional capital, enter into joint venture relationships, or find alternative means to finance our properties in order to place them into commercial production, if warranted, or evaluate the possibility of selling one or more of our projects or the Company in its entirety. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and, if warranted, development or production on one or more of our properties and any properties we may acquire in the future or even a loss of property interests. This includes our leases over claims covering the principal deposits on our properties, which may expire unless we expend minimum levels of expenditures over the terms of such leases. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as our business performance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to Directors, Officers and consultants using the Black-Scholes model.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Not applicable.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective during the period covered by this report because during the period the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on February 24, 2016, but failed to include in its proxy statement for the meeting prepared under Regulation 14A of the Securites Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as was required under Rule 14a-21(a) under the Exchange Act. The omission was inadvertent and the Company intends to include the advisory vote to approve the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy statement under Regulation 14A for its next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in early 2017. The Company is implementing additional internal procedures, to ensure that all requirements, including the requirements of Rule 14a-21, are met in future filings.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings


None.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

There

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2015November 30, 2016 as filed with the SEC on November 30, 2015.

December 14, 2016.

We have not sought an advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Rule 14a-21 under the Exchange Act requires us to seek a separate stockholder advisory vote at our annual meeting at which directors are elected to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, not less frequently than once every three years (say-on-pay vote). At our annual meeting in February of 2016, we did not submit to our stockholders a say-on-pay vote to approve an advisory resolution regarding our compensation program for our named executive officers. Consequently, the Board of Directors has not considered the outcome of our say-on-pay vote results when determining future compensation policies and pay levels for our named executive officers. At our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, we will be asking our stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve an advisory resolution regarding our compensation program for our named executive officers. Following such annual meeting, the Board of Directors will consider the outcome of our say-on-pay vote results when determining future compensation policies and pay levels for our named executive officers, and will report on the results of the say-on-pay vote as required by applicable SEC rules. In our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 29, 2016, we disclosed that our disclosure controls and procedures did not lead to our identification of the requirement to provide this advisory say-on-pay vote, and we are adjusting our disclosure controls and procedures processes accordingly.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
