Our Business

General

Our primary business focus is the design, development and marketing of premium products under the “Monster Digital” brand for use in high-performance consumer electronics, mobile products and computing applications. Our license with Monster, Inc. allows us to manufacture and sell certain high-end products utilizing the “Monster Digital” brand name; Monster, Inc. is highly recognized by consumers for its high quality audio-video products. We work with our subcontract manufacturers and suppliers to offer new and enhanced products that use existing technology and adopt new technologies to satisfy existing and emerging consumer demands and preferences. On the marketing side, we partner with Monster, Inc. to support the sales and marketing of these products on a global basis.

We have invested significantly in building a broad distribution channel for the sale of products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand. As of December 31, 2015, our initial product entries of memory storage devices and peripherals are offered in over 15,000 locations globally. Our top four customers for our memory storage products for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were Rite Aid (35%), Fry’s (14%), Florida State Games (12%) and InMotion (11%) the year ended December 31, 2015 were Walgreens (19%), Rite Aid (18%), Sam’s Club (12%) and InMotion (6%). Our current focus is to leverage our distribution network through cooperating with Monster, Inc. to identify and market additional specialty and consumer electronics products.

Currently, our primary product offerings are as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Growth Strategy

Key elements of our growth and product offering strategy are to:

Continue to offer synergistic products addressing identifiable market trends. We plan to increase shelf space with our existing retailers and add other select specialty and consumer electronic products to our customer base. Specifically, we seek to offer products with high growth potential while combining performance, reliability and functionality at competitive prices that address identifiable market trends and satisfy existing and emerging consumer demands and preferences. Key elements of our product offering focus are:

Take substantial steps to achieve profitability.  While we have continued to record net losses since inception, the goal of our recently added management team is to take substantial steps to achieve profitability. We believe it will be necessary to (i) drive sales of current and continuously introduce new, value added products, (iii) reduce selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, and (iii) improve gross profit margin by shifting our product mix. Our higher margin specialty products over lower margin memory items. While sales of memory products helped to build our Monster Digital brand, we believe our future success depends on large part on our ability to substantially increase sales of specialty products bearing the Monster Digital brand as a percentage of revenues. Specifically, we plan to continue to penetrate the global action camera market, while identifying additional consumer electronic products to be introduced based on leading technologies. For example, we are currently in preliminary discussions for the manufacture and sourcing of the following products which we currently expect may be introduced within the next three to nine months:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expand our distribution channels.  Although we have established a substantial domestic distribution channel for our memory products bearing the Monster brand, we believe it is necessary to substantially expand our distribution channels with respect to sales of our higher margin specialty products. Our executive sales team has recently established domestic distribution arrangements for our actions sports cameras with major entities such as Fry’s, Sam’s Club and Toys R’ Us. We also believe that international markets represent a significant growth opportunity for us. Our executive sales team seeks to enhance our international presence by capitalizing on the strength of the Monster Digital brand. Examples of recently added international retailers and strategic distribution arrangements include Synchro France, ADL, Selfridges and FNAC.

Continue to leverage our brand awareness.  Monster is a premium brand name highly recognizable by consumers. We intend to expand awareness of the Monster Digital brand through increased marketing efforts, trade show presence and selected advertising opportunities.

Competitive advantages

We believe we offer the following competitive advantages:

Relationship with Monster, Inc..  Our license with Monster, Inc. offers us the ability to leverage Monster, Inc.’s substantial retail and distribution channels and to support our product sales through its global sales and marketing team. Further to this license, our company and Monster, Inc. consult and cooperate with each other in the design process of products sold under the Monster Digital brand name. Also, the license provides that our company and Monster, Inc. will cooperate to promote and effect the offer and marketing of products sold under the Monster Digital brand name through Monster, Inc.’s existing and future sales and distribution channels. In addition, Monster, Inc. beneficially owns approximately 13% of our common stock immediately prior to the consummation of this offering.

Strategic marketing relationships.  We believe our marketing relationships with key industry leaders distinguishes our company from others in our industry. Our Overdrive 3.0 SSD and Overdrive Thunderbolt SSD, each with a 1TB configuration, are currently offered by Apple online in Europe and the UK. Our Advanced 3.0 OTG USB flash drive is the first Apple certified external memory of iOS. Also, our products are offered and supported by Monster, Inc.’s large global and retail distribution network.

Experienced management team.  Our management consists of executives with years of technical and entrepreneurial experience. Our management has over 35 years of combined experience in memory products, power products and electronic manufacturing services.

Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in our offered securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business prospects, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by a number of risks known or not currently known to us, including but not limited to those described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13. There risks include, but not limited to the following:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Conversion of Indebtedness and issuance and conversion of Series A Preferred Stock

Related Party Transactions

From inception through the date of this prospectus, we have engaged in significant related party transactions with our executive officers and directors and with entities affiliated with such persons. There transactions include, but are not limited to:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As discussed in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions”, from time to time since inception, we have obtained certain related party loans and advances from Tandon Enterprises, Inc. The proceeds of the loans and advances provided us with working capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the net amount borrowed was $0, ($151,000) and $460,000, respectively. The loans and advances were non-interest bearing and had no maturity date. To the extent deemed necessary by our Board, we may make additional future borrowings from Tandon Enterprises, Inc. which we would anticipate would be on similar terms and conditions. In addition, since inception, Tandon Enterprises, Inc. has provided administrative, accounting, and operational support to our company on an as needed basis. Such support includes providing warehouse space as required. We reimburse Tandon Enterprises, Inc. for its actual costs of rendering the services. The fee was $0, $0 and $172,000, for three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. To the extent deemed necessary by our Board, we may request that Tandon Enterprises, Inc. provide additional future services on an as needed basis which we would anticipate would be on similar terms and conditions.

The board of Monster Digital, which approved all of the related party transactions, consisted primarily of Jawahar, Devinder and Vivek Tandon. While the board believed the terms and conditions of such transactions were fair and in the best interests of our company, there can be no assurance that the transactions were on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

We have adopted a policy to be effective on the effective date of this offering that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest, must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee is to consider the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Monster License Agreement

We entered into a trademark license agreement with Monster, Inc. effective July 7, 2010 (the “Monster License Agreement”). The Monster License Agreement, as amended, gives us exclusive rights to utilize the tradenames “Monster Memory,” “Monster Digital” and the M (stylized) mark on (i) action sports cameras and accessories (including virtual reality goggles), (ii) cable memory, (iii) flash based cards, (iv) flash based SSD drive products, (v) DRAM modules, (vi) USB flash drives and (vii) internal power supplies for personal computers. The 25 year Agreement provides for the payment of royalties to Monster, Inc. on all sales of the referenced products, excluding sales to Monster, Inc., as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effective July 1, 2014, the royalty rate on certain products was reduced to 2% for a 12 month period.

At any time during the term of the Monster License Agreement, a permanent license may be negotiated subject to the parties reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.

Under the Monster License Agreement, Monster, Inc. itself may use (but not sublicense) the Monster mark and its M (stylized) mark (but not the Monster Digital mark) in connection with memory and data storage products. Although Monster, Inc. must offer us the first right to supply such products on commercially reasonable terms under an arrangement similar to the Monster License Agreement, nothing limits the ability of Monster, Inc. to act as a competitor to us.

In August 2015, we executed an amendment to the Monster License Agreement with Monster Inc. whereby Monster granted us the additional right further to the Monster License Agreement to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name. Further to the amendment, in addition to royalties mentioned above, we issued Monster, Inc. 382,575 shares of our common stock and will pay it a cash fee of $500,000 payable in four quarterly installments of $125,000 commencing October 1, 2015 and ending July 1, 2016 provided that upon the effective date of this offering any remaining balance will be paid in full. In November 2015, Monster, Inc. agreed to modify payment terms of the initial $125,000 payment to five weekly installments of $25,000 payable in December 2015, all of which were paid. However, the sum of $375,000 continues to be delinquent.

We are required to remit royalty payments to Monster, Inc. on or before the 30^th day following the end of each calendar quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, royalty expense amounted to $50,000, $262,000 and $572,000, respectively. We were not in compliance with the royalty remittance policy for each of the aforementioned fiscal periods, nor with the installment payment terms of the aforementioned initial $500,000 payment. This license agreement contains various termination clauses that include (i) change in control, (ii) breach of contract and (iii) insolvency, among others. Either party to the license agreement has the right to terminate the agreement if the other is in material breach of any of the terms and conditions of the agreement and such party fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the date of receipt of written notice from the other party.

Further to the Monster License Agreement, in the event we do not effect an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market on or before August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. shall have the option to immediately terminate the license grant allowing us to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name in which case (i) we must cease all use of the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our operating, corporate, business or company name and (ii) Monster, Inc. shall return to us for cancellation all of the 382,575 shares of our common stock issued to it. At any time prior to the earlier of our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market or August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. may agree to retain the aforementioned 382,575 shares and forfeit its ability to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence. By means of a separate acknowledgement, Monster, Inc. acknowledged that our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market will suffice for purposes of the Monster License Agreement.

In addition, in August 2015, and in connection with the aforementioned amendment to the trademark license agreement, we entered into a two-year advisory board agreement with Noel Lee, the Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder of Monster, Inc. Further to the advisory board agreement, we issued Mr. Lee a warrant to purchase up to 191,289 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $14.85. See “Management — Advisory Board.”

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and therefore we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company”. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1 billion or more, (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We are choosing to irrevocably opt out of the extended transition periods available under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Industry and Other Data

We have obtained some industry and market share data from third-party sources, including the independent industry publications set forth below, that we believe are reliable. In many cases, however, we have made statements in this prospectus regarding our industry and our position in the industry based on estimates made from our experience in the industry and our own investigation of market conditions. We believe these estimates to be accurate as of the date of this prospectus. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for our estimates or because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. The content of the below sources, except to the extent specifically set forth in this prospectus, do not constitute a portion of this prospectus and are not incorporated herein.

The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our offered securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including our combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. While we believe that the risks and uncertainties described below are the material risks currently facing us, additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also arise and materially affect our business. If any of the following risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We incurred net losses of $1.9 million, $8.7 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $27.8 million. In their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending will have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. While management has a plan to fund ongoing operations, there is no assurance that its plan will be successfully implemented. As a result, you may lose the entire value of your investment in our company.

Our operating results, gross margins, cash flow and ability to sustain profitability may fluctuate significantly in the future and are difficult to predict.

Our operating results, gross margins, operating cash flow and ability to sustain profitability are based on a number of factors related to our industry and the markets for our memory storage products. We will have little or no control over many of these factors and any of these factors could cause our operating results, gross margins and ability to sustain profitability to fluctuate significantly. These factors include, among others:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, we may be unable to accurately forecast our revenues and gross margins. We incur expenses based predominantly on operating plans and estimates of future revenues. Our expenses are to a large extent fixed in the short term and we may not be able to adjust them quickly to meet a shortfall in revenues during any particular quarter. We also plan inventory levels based on anticipated demand for our products and on anticipated product mix. As we anticipate increased demand for certain products we increase our level of inventory, which results in increased risk if we inaccurately estimate anticipated demand. Any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our expenses and planned inventories would decrease our net income or increase our operating losses and harm our financial condition. If we are unsuccessful in increasing revenues from our higher margin products and controlling our operating expenses, we may not be able to achieve profitability.

Also, we have generated significant negative operating cash flows since our inception and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We are required to expend significant dollars on inventory and marketing efforts prior to the receipt of cash from the collection of our accounts receivable. We expect that our negative operating cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future as we increase our product offerings and expand our customer base. While we have a factoring arrangement in place that assists in part, we require substantial additional funds to bridge the gap between the expenditure and receipt of funds. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will continue to be limited in our business and expansion efforts.

Because we have a limited operating history, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability.

We have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our prospects and the potential value of our offered securities. We are confronted with the risks inherent in an early stage company, including difficulties and delays in connection with the acquisition and marketing of products, operational difficulties, and difficulty in estimating future development, regulatory, and administrative costs. If we cannot successfully manage our business, we may not be able to acquire and offer commercially viable products, generate future profits and may not be able to support our operations. It is possible that we will incur additional expenses and may incur losses in the further implementation of our business plan.

In addition, we have not had any previous experience in sourcing and selling action sports cameras. We are uncertain as to whether our action sports cameras will ultimately achieve the level of market acceptance that we expect or at all. Given our lack of experience in the action sports camera market, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify the needs and preferences of customers and to adjust inventory mixes or marketing efforts that correspond to such needs and preferences; and we also cannot assure you that our action sports cameras will ultimately become commercially successful. In such circumstances, our business, growth prospects, financial condition and results will be adversely affected.

Our strategic partnership with Monster, Inc. poses significant challenges for us, and if we are unable to manage this relationship, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

We have entered into a multi-year license agreement with Monster, Inc. (the “Monster License Agreement”) under which we have the right to exclusively market certain products under the “Monster Digital” brand name. As of March 31, 2016, this list of permitted products consists of the following: action cameras and accessories (including virtual reality goggles), DRAM modules; USB flash drives; flash based SD, M2,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MicroSD, CF, ProDuo, card products; SSD drive products; internal power supplies for PCs, cable memory and hybrid drives. The management of this business will adversely affect our revenues and gross margins if we are, among other things, unable to:

We have a number of obligations that we must fulfill under our agreement with Monster, Inc. to keep it in effect. These obligations include compliance with Monster, Inc. guidelines and trademark usage, customer satisfaction and the requirement that we meet target minimum royalty payments. As a result, Monster, Inc. may in the future have the right to terminate our license in its entirety. We were not in compliance with the royalty remittance policy for the fiscal periods referenced in the agreement nor with the installment payment terms of the $500,000 payment required for the continued use of the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as a corporate, business and operating and as described below. If we were to lose the rights to sell products under the “Monster Digital” brand, our financial results would be significantly negatively impacted.

While we will continue to seek to offer additional products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand, the consent of Monster, Inc. will be required in order to sell any additional products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand. While to date Monster, Inc. has granted its consent to all our additional products to be sold bearing the “Monster Digital” brand, there can be no assurance that it would similarly consent in the future. If we are unable to secure the consent of Monster, Inc. for the sale of future products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand our product offering will be limited which would substantially and adversely affect our future prospects.

In addition, further to the Monster License Agreement, in the event we do not effect an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market on or before August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. shall have the option to immediately terminate the license grant allowing us to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name in which case (i) we must cease all use of the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our operating, corporate, business or company name and (ii) Monster, Inc. shall return to us for cancellation all of the 382,575 shares of our common stock issued to it. At any time prior to the earlier of our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market or August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. may agree to retain the aforementioned 382,575 shares and forfeit its ability to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence. By means of a separate acknowledgement, Monster, Inc. acknowledged that our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market will suffice for purposes of the Monster License Agreement. If we were to lose the rights to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our operating, corporate, business and company name, there would be a material adverse effect on our brand and image and our financial results would be significantly negatively impacted.

Our strategic partnership with Monster, Inc. does not restrict Monster, Inc. from offering its own line of action sports cameras or memory products.

Under the Monster License Agreement, Monster, Inc. itself may use (but not sublicense) the Monster mark and its M (stylized) mark (but not the Monster Digital mark) in connection with action sports cameras or memory and data storage products. Although Monster, Inc. must offer us the first right to supply such products on commercially reasonable terms under an arrangement similar to the Monster License Agreement, nothing limits the ability of Monster, Inc. to act as a competitor to us. Monster, Inc. has substantially more resources to exploit these markets than we do and their entry into our markets would substantially and adversely affect our future prospects.

We estimate that a significant percentage of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were derived from Monster, Inc.’s introductions to buyers and retailers.

We believe that approximately 33% of our gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were derived from Monster, Inc.’s introductions to buyers and retailers. Monster, Inc. is under no contractual obligation to continue making such introductions. There can be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

no assurance that Monster, Inc. will continue to introduce us to significant buyers and retailers or that any buyers and retailers previously introduced to us by Monster, Inc. will continue to order products at previous levels or at all.

Our failure to successfully promote our brand and achieve strong brand recognition in our markets will limit and reduce the demand for our products.

We believe that brand recognition is critical to our success. We plan to increase our marketing expenditures to create and maintain prominent brand awareness. If we fail to promote our Monster Digital brand successfully, or if the expenses with doing so are disproportionate to any increased net sales we achieve, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Other companies, who may have significantly more resources to promote their own brands then we do, may not be aggressively promoting their brands. If they begin to more aggressively promote their brand or if our products exhibit poor performance or other defects, our brand may be adversely affected, which would inhibit our ability to attract or retain customers.

The net proceeds of this offering may not satisfy all of our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will need additional capital to adequately fund our future business objectives and we may not be able to obtain the amount of capital required, particularly when the credit and capital markets are unstable. Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause the price of our offered securities to fall.

We currently have minimal cash on hand and an accounts receivable factoring facility limited to $4.0 million. Based on our business and development plans and our timing expectations related to the progress of our products, we expect that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of 2016. We expect that significant use of the net proceeds from this offering will be for funding inventory purchases in order to grow sales in 2016. Pending completion of the offering and not anticipating any new borrowings, the existing cash and factoring facility will allow us to fund the operations through July 2016. We currently anticipate that our company will need a minimum funding of approximately $8.6 million to conduct our proposed operations in 2016.

Our projection of future minimum capital needs, as well as funding necessary to adequately address our goal of increasing sales of higher margin specialty products as a percentage of revenues, is based on our operating plan, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Should these assumptions prove incorrect, our financial resources may not be sufficient to satisfy our future minimum capital requirements and will be insufficient to adequately address our goal of increasing sales of higher margin specialty products as referred above.

Any of the following factors could result in insufficient capital to fund our operations:

We do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed, or, if available, whether the terms of any financing will be favorable to us. The current worldwide financing environment is challenging, which could make it more difficult for us to raise funds on reasonable terms, or at all. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future strategic opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated events, or meet our aforementioned goal of increasing sales of higher margin specialty products, all of which would harm our business and results of operations. Furthermore, if we are unable to raise additional capital, or cannot raise capital on acceptable terms, we may not have sufficient capital to operate our business as planned and would have to modify our business plan or curtail some or all of our operations.

In addition, pursuant to our equity incentive plan, our compensation committee is authorized to grant equity-based incentive awards to our directors, executive officers and other employees and service providers, including officers, employees and service providers of our subsidiary. Future grants of, options and other equity awards and issuances of common stock under our equity incentive plans may have an adverse effect on the market price of our offered securities.

If we are unable to develop or maintain the strategic relationships necessary to develop, sell and market products that are commercially viable and widely accepted, the growth and success of our business will be limited.

We may not be able to acquire and sell products that are commercially viable and widely accepted if we are unable to anticipate market trends and the price, performance and functionality requirements of data memory manufacturers, suppliers and customers. We must continue to collaborate closely with our customers, manufacturers, and other suppliers to ensure that critical development, marketing and distribution projects proceed in a coordinated manner. These collaborations are also important because our ability to anticipate trends and plan our future product offerings depends to a significant degree upon our continued access to strategic relationships we currently have with our manufacturers and suppliers. If any of our current relationships terminate or otherwise deteriorate, or if we are unable to enter into future relationships that provide us with comparable insight into market trends or access to new and enhanced products, offerings and technologies, we will be substantially hindered in our future business endeavors.

We depend exclusively on third parties to manufacture and supply all of our products. If third party manufacturers and suppliers are unable to timely deliver required quantities of our products at acceptable qualities and prices, we will not be able to meet customer demand for our products, which would adversely impact success of our business.

We do not own or operate a manufacturing facility and rely on third parties to manufacture, produce and supply all of our products. We cannot be certain that we will not experience operational difficulties with our manufacturers and suppliers. Our reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers involves a number of significant risks, including:

These risks could result in product shortages or increase our costs of manufacturing, sourcing, assembling or testing our products which could result in failure to meet customers’ expectations and damage our brand, which could result in lost sales. In addition, if third party manufacturers are unable or unwilling to continue to manufacture and deliver products of acceptable quality, at acceptable costs and in a timely manner, we would have to identify and qualify other third party manufacturers. This could be time-consuming and difficult and result in unforeseen operational problems and/or lost sales which would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We do not have long-term agreements with any of our third party suppliers or manufacturers for our primary memory products or our iX32 flashdrive. Our current offerings of action sports cameras and our iX32 flash drive are currently sourced from sole source suppliers and while we believe there is an alternative supplier available for our iX32 flash drive, we do not currently have an alternative supplier for our action sports cameras. We have a formal arrangement with Shuoying Digital Science & Technology (China) Co., Ltd. to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacture and source our current offerings of action sports cameras through January 2017 which agreement automatically renews for consecutive 12 month periods unless terminated with six months prior notice. If these suppliers stopped supplying these products on acceptable terms, or at all, or we experienced delays in receipt of such products from these suppliers, we would experience a significant disruption in our business until such time as we are able to find alternative sources. In such event our business and financial results would be materially adversely affected.

We depend exclusively on third parties for the research and development of products.

The products we market are subject to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards. The future revenue growth of our business depends in large part on the development, market acceptance and performance of any new products we introduce in the marketplace. We do not have an internal research and development department. Instead, we rely on third parties for the research and development of new and enhanced products.

Although we depend on various third parties for the introduction and acceptance of new products, we do not have long-term relationships with any of them. There can be no assurance that we will maintain existing relationships or forge new relationships, that we will continue to have access to significant proprietary products, processes and technologies, or that we will continue to have access to new competitive products, processes and technologies that may be required to introduce new products. If we are not successful in maintaining and developing new relationships or obtaining rights to market products with competitive technologies, we will become less competitive and our operations will suffer.

A material change in customer relationships or in customer demand for products could have a significant impact on our business.

Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully offer trade terms that are acceptable to our customers and that are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets. Our business could suffer if we cannot maintain relationships with key customers based on our trade terms and conditions. In addition, our business would be negatively impacted if key customers were to significantly reduce or eliminate the range of inventory level of our products.

In our memory storage industry, products are typically characterized by average selling prices that historically decline over relatively short time periods. If we are unable to effectively manage our inventories, reduce our costs, introduce new products with higher average selling prices or increase our sales volumes, our revenues and gross margins will be negatively impacted.

Data memory products often experience price erosion over their life cycle due in large part to competitive pressures, customer demand and technological changes. In order to maintain gross profits for products that have a declining average selling price, we must continuously reduce costs, increase sales volume or introduce new products with higher gross margins. We must also successfully manage our inventory to reduce our overall exposure to price erosion. In our industry, prices have often fallen faster than costs which has resulted in margin pressure. Our customers may exert pressure on us to make price concessions or to match pricing of our competitors. Any reduction in prices by us in response to pricing pressure will hurt our gross margins unless we can reduce our costs and manage our inventory levels to minimize the impact of such price declines. For example, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Gross profit in 2015 was significantly adversely impacted by the resale of approximately $1.3 million of returned products at substantially reduced prices which resulted in a loss of approximately $900,000, as well as an overall reduction in average selling price for certain products during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 2014. There can be no assurance that the introduction of new products will assist in protecting gross margin.

As it relates to our SSD, CF and SD card and USB flash drive products, demand depends in large part on the demand for additional storage and storage upgrades in existing computer systems. The demand for computer systems has been volatile in the past and often has had an exaggerated effect on the demand for drives and flash memory in any given period. As a result, these markets have experienced periods of excess capacity, which can lead to liquidation of excess inventories and more intense price competition. If more intense price competition occurs, we may be forced to lower prices sooner and more than expected, which could result in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

lower average selling prices, revenue and gross margins. We expect that average selling prices and gross margins will also tend to decline when there is a shift in the mix of products and sales of lower priced products increase relative to those of higher priced products. In addition, rapid technological changes often reduce the volume and profitability of sales of existing products and increase the risk of inventory obsolescence.

If we are unable to reduce our costs to offset declines in average selling prices or increase the sales volume of our existing products, particularly higher capacity or premium products, or introduce new products with higher gross margins, our revenues and gross margins will be adversely affected. This may negatively impact our anticipated growth in product revenues as well as our gross margins, particularly if the decline in our average selling prices is not matched by price declines in our supply costs.

Our failure to accurately forecast market and customer demand for our products, or to quickly adjust to forecast changes, would adversely affect our business and financial results or operating efficiencies.

The data storage industry faces difficulties in accurately forecasting market and customer demand for its products. The variety and volume of products we offer is based in large part on these forecasts. Accurately forecasting demand has become increasingly difficult in light of the volatility in global economic conditions. In addition, because many of our products are designed to be largely substitutable, our demand forecasts may be impacted significantly by the strategic actions of our competitors. As forecasting demand becomes more difficult, the risk that our forecasts are not in line with demand increases. If our forecasts exceed actual market demand, then we could experience periods of product oversupply and price decreases, which would impact our financial performance. If market demand increases significantly beyond our forecasts, then we may not be able to satisfy customer product needs, which could result in a loss of market share if our competitors are able to meet customer demands.

If we do not effectively manage our inventory and product mix, we may incur costs associated with excess inventory or lose sales from not having enough inventory.

We operate in markets that are characterized by intense competition, supply shortages or oversupply, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, declining average selling prices and rapid product obsolescence, all of which make it more challenging to effectively manage our inventory. If we are unable to properly monitor, control and manage our inventory and maintain an appropriate level and mix of products with our customers, we may incur increased and unexpected costs associated with this inventory. For example, if our customers are unable to sell their inventory in a timely manner, we may choose or be required to lower the price of our products or allow our customers to exchange the slow-moving products for newer products. Similarly, if we improperly forecast demand for our products, we could end up with excess inventory that we may be unable to sell in a timely manner, if at all. As a result, we could incur increased expenses associated with writing off excess or obsolete inventory. Alternatively, we could end up with too little inventory and we may not be able to satisfy demand, which could have a material adverse effect on our customer relationships. Our risks related to inventory management are exacerbated by our strategy of closely matching inventory levels with product demand, leaving limited margin for error.

We are subject to the cyclical nature of the consumer electronics industry and any future downturn could adversely affect our business.

The consumer electronics industry is highly cyclical and characterized by constant and rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, short product life cycles and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. The flash memory markets have in the past experienced significant downturns often connected with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average sales prices. It is impossible to predict whether demand for our products will diminish or costs for any of our products will increase. Also our customers’ demand for storage capacity may not continue to grow at current industry estimates. For example, there has been a recent rapid growth in devices that do not contain a hard drive such as tablet computers and smartphones; this could affect demand for our SSD products. Any future downturns could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To remain competitive and stimulate customer demand, we must successfully manage product introductions and transitions.

We believe that we must continually source and introduce new products, enhance our existing products and effectively stimulate customer demand for new and upgraded products. Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. The success of new product introductions depends on a number of factors including market and customer acceptance, the effective forecasting and management of product demand, purchase commitments and inventory levels, the management of manufacturing and supply costs, and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction. In addition, the introduction of new products or product enhancements may shorten the life cycle of our existing products, or replace sales of some of our current products, thereby offsetting the benefit of even a successful product introduction, and may cause customers to defer purchasing our existing products in anticipation of the new products and potentially lead to challenges in managing inventory of existing products. If we are unable to introduce new products or novel technologies in a timely manner or our new products or technologies are not accepted by consumers, our competitors may introduce more attractive products, which could hurt our competitive position. Our new products might not receive consumer acceptance if consumer preferences shift to other products, and our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower revenue and excess inventory levels. As we seek to enhance our products, we may incur additional costs to incorporate new or revised features. We might not be able to, or determine that it is not in our interests to, raise prices to compensate for these additional costs. If we do not successfully manage product transitions, our revenue and business may be harmed.

Our markets are extremely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Many of our significant competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do, and one or more of these competitors could use their greater resources to gain market share at our expense.

Competition is based on a multitude of factors, including product design, brand strength, distribution presence and capability, channel knowledge and expertise, geographic availability, breadth of product line, product cost, media capacity, access speed and performance, durability, reliability, scalability and compatibility. Specifically, the performance, functionality, reliability and price of our products are critical elements of our ability to compete. We believe that we offer, and that our target consumers seek, products that combine higher levels of performance, functionality and reliability at prices competitive with other leading brand-name products. Also, market penetration, brand recognition and inventory management are also critical elements of our ability to compete. Most consumers purchase products similar to ours from off-the-shelf retailers such as a large computer, consumer electronics and office supply superstores. Market penetration in the industries in which we compete is typically based on the number of retailers who offer a company’s products and the amount of shelf-space allocated to those products.

Our existing competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have longer operating histories and have greater brand name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, broader product lines and longer standing relationships with retailers, distributors, OEMs and end users. As a result, these competitors may be able to better absorb price declines, ensure more stable supply, adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we may. Ultimately, this may lead to a decrease in our sales and market share and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition from existing competitors and expect to face competition from future competitors that design and market similar or alternative data storage solutions that may be less costly or provide additional features. If a manufacturer of consumer electronic devices designs one of these alternative competing standards into its products, the digital media we manufacture, as currently configured, will not be compatible with that product and/or may cause our revenues to decline, which would result in a material adverse effect on our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We substantially rely on distributors and retailers to sell our data storage products and our inability to control the activities of such retailers could cause our operating results and gross margins to fluctuate significantly.

We sell substantially all of our data storage products through distributors and retailers. Sales to distributors and retailers subject us to many special risks, including the following:

Availability of reliable sell-through data varies throughout the retail channel, which will make it difficult for us to determine actual retail product revenues until after the end of each of our fiscal quarters. Unreliable sell-through data may result in either an overstatement or understatement of our reported revenues and results of operations. Our arrangements with our customers also provide them price protection against declines in our recommended selling prices. We do not have exclusive relationships with our retailers or distributors and therefore must rely on them to effectively sell our products over those of our competitors. Our reliance on the activities of distributors and retailers over which we have little or no control could cause our operating results and gross margin, to fluctuate significantly.

We obtain many products from a limited number of suppliers, and if these suppliers fail to meet our supply requirement or cease production of our products, we may lose sales and experience increased costs.

Our products inventory strategy is to maintain as little inventory as is necessary for the efficient operation of our business, which creates the risk that any shortage or delay in the supply of our products could harm our ability to meet demand. We obtain many of our products from a limited number of suppliers on a purchase order basis.

Furthermore, none of our suppliers have a contractual commitment to supply us with products. These products include our SSDs, flash memory cards and USB flash drives. If demand for a specific product increases, we may not be able to obtain an adequate supply of that product in a timely manner, since our suppliers may fill other orders before ours. It could be difficult, costly and time-consuming to obtain alternative sources for these products, or to change products, or to change designs to make use of alternative products. In addition, difficulties in transitioning from an existing supplier to a new supplier could create delays in product availability that would have a significant impact on our ability to fulfill orders for our products. This would adversely impact on our ability to meet demand and damage our brand and reputation in the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Because we protect some of our retail customers and distributors against the effects of price decreases on their inventories of our products, we may incur price protection charges if we reduce our prices when there are large quantities of our products in our distribution channel.

We provide price protection to certain of our major resellers. In the past we have incurred price protection charges ranging from 2% to 5% of gross sales before giving effect to such changes for the fiscal periods

TABLE OF CONTENTS

presented in this prospectus. Price protection allows customers to receive a price adjustment on existing inventory when its published price is reduced. In an environment of slower demand and abundant supply of products, price declines and channel promotions expenses are more likely to occur and, should they occur, are more likely to have a significant impact on our operating results. Further, in this environment, high channel inventory may result in substantial price protection charges. These price protection charges have the effect of reducing gross sales and gross margins. We anticipate that we may continue to incur price protection charges due to competitive pricing pressures and, as a result, our revenues and gross margins may be adversely affected. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Year 2015 to 2014 — Results of Operations — Net Sales.”

A significant product defect or product recall could materially and adversely affect our brand image, causing a decline in our sales and profitability, and could reduce or deplete our financial resources.

A significant product defect could materially harm our brand image and could force us to conduct a product recall. This could damage our relationships with our customers and reduce end-user loyalty. A product recall would be particularly harmful to us because we have limited financial and administrative resources to effectively manage a product recall and it would detract management’s attention from implementing our core business strategies. As a result, a significant product defect or product recall could cause a decline in our sales and profitability, and could reduce or deplete our financial resources.

A substantial portion of our sales have been made to customers accounting for over 10% of sales. We expect that this may continue in the foreseeable future. If any of these customers fails to timely pay us amounts owed, we could suffer a significant decline in cash flow and liquidity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the following customers accounted for over 10% of our gross sales: Rite Aid (35%), Fry’s (14%), Florida State Games (12%) and InMotion (11%). For the year ended December 31, 2015, the following customers accounted for over 10% of our gross sales: Walgreens (19%), Rite Aid (18%), and Sam’s Club (12%). For the year ended December 31, 2014 the following customers accounted for over 10% of our gross sales: Sam’s Club (24%) and Walgreens (24%). We expect that we may continue to depend upon a limited number of major customers for a significant portion of our sales for the foreseeable future. We expect the composition of our major customer base to change over time, as our markets and strategies evolve, which could make our revenue less predictable from period-to-period.

Our agreements with our customers do not require them to purchase any specified number of products or dollar amount of purchases or to make any purchases whatsoever. Therefore, we cannot assure you that, in any future period, our sales generated from these customers, individually or in the aggregate, will equal or exceed historical levels. We also cannot assure you that, if sales to any of these customers cease or decline, we will be able to replace these sales with sales to either existing or new customers in a timely manner, or at all. A cessation or reduction of sales, or a decrease in the prices of products sold to one or more of these customers could cause a significant decline in our net sales and profitability.

Our financial performance depends significantly on worldwide economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending, which have deteriorated in many countries and regions, including the U.S., and may not recover in the foreseeable future.

Demand for our products is adversely affected by negative macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending. The tightening of consumer credit, low level of consumer liquidity, and volatility in credit and equity markets have weakened consumer confidence and decreased consumer spending primarily in the U.S. and European retail markets. A continuation or further deterioration of depressed economic conditions could have an even greater adverse effect on our business. Adverse economic conditions affect demand for devices that incorporate our products, such as personal computers and other computing and networking products, mobile devices, and flash memory cards. Reduced demand for our products could result in continued market oversupply and significant decreases in our average selling prices. A continuation of current negative conditions in worldwide credit markets would limit our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures. Difficult economic conditions may also result in a higher rate of losses on our accounts receivables due to credit defaults. As a result, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Negative or uncertain global economic conditions could also cause many of our direct and indirect customers to delay or reduce their purchases of our products. Further, many of our customers in our distribution and retail channels rely on credit financing in order to purchase our products. If negative conditions in the global credit markets prevent our customers’ access to credit, product orders in these channels may decrease, which could result in lower revenue. Likewise, our suppliers may face challenges in obtaining credit, in selling their products or otherwise in operating their businesses. These actions could result in reductions in our revenue, increased price competition and increased operating costs, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are currently, and may be in the future, party to intellectual property rights claims that are expensive and time consuming to defend, and, if resolved adversely, could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Our industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. Companies in the technology and consumer products industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property or other rights. In addition, various “non-practicing entities” that own patents and other intellectual property rights often attempt to aggressively assert claims in order to extract value from technology and consumer products companies. We do not currently manufacture any products and currently purchase all our products from third parties for resale. From time to time we may receive claims from third parties which allege that we have infringed upon their intellectual property rights or we may be called upon to indemnify our customers for any intellectual property right infringements by us. If such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party or if we are found to owe license fees or royalties relating to these products, our margins and operating results would be severely negatively impacted.

In this regard, we recently received a letter from GoPro, Inc., or GoPro, alleging that we infringe on at least five U.S. patents held by GoPro, and requesting that we confirm in writing that we will permanently cease the sale and distribution of our 1080p action sports camera, along with any camera accessories, including the waterproof camera case and standard housing. The five patents specifically identified by GoPro in the letter were U.S. Patent No. D710,921: camera housing design, U.S. Patent No. D702,747: camera housing design, U.S. Patent No. D740,875: camera housing design, U.S. Patent No. D737,879: camera design, and U.S. Patent No. 721,395: camera design. Based upon our preliminary review of these patents, we believe we have some defenses to GoPro’s allegations. Our outside counsel has been in discussions with GoPro’s outside counsel and has forwarded them material which we believe supports defenses to these allegations, all in an effort to move the matter to resolution. But as of yet, there is no final resolution to this matter. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these allegations or reaching a business resolution that is satisfactory to us.

Further, from time to time we may introduce new products and services, including in areas where we currently do not have an offering, which could increase our exposure to patent and other intellectual property claims from competitors and non-practicing entities. Litigation could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In the event of an adverse result in litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages, cease the manufacture, use and sale of some products, and expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, discontinue the use of some processes or obtain licenses to use the infringed technology. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our indemnification obligations to our customers for product defects could require us to pay substantial damages.

A number of our product sales agreements provide that we will defend, indemnify and hold harmless our customers from damages and costs that arise from product warranty claims or claims for injury or damage resulting from defects in our products. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all or any part of the claims asserted against us. A successful claim brought against us that is in excess of, or excluded from, our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We face potential liability and expense for legal claims

We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with the normal course of business. In connection with three pending matters, we and have established a reserve for contingent legal liabilities. Based on the range of possible loss as provided by outside legal counsel, we have reserved $400,000 for possible loss related to the three cases at December 31, 2015. The reserve represents what we believe to be an estimate of possible loss only for those three matters and does not represent the maximum loss exposure. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events and there is, therefore, considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any. We will continue to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the adequacy of the loss reserve, and update our disclosure if necessary, based on available information and in accordance with ASC 450-20-50, evaluating developments in legal proceedings, investigation or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probably and reasonably estimable.

Substantially all of our executive officers were only recently appointed to their current roles and have a limited history of working together as a management group.

In December 2015, Jawahar Tandon stepped down as our Chief Executive Officer and David Clarke assumed that role; Mr. Tandon was appointed Executive Chairman of the Board. Mr. Clarke has no previous experience in the management or operation of a company that engages in the business currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by our company. In addition, in December 2015 Vivek Tandon stepped down as our President and Mr. Clarke assumed that position as well; Mr. Tandon was appointed Vice President, Operations. Also, in January 2016, we appointed our Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing and an additional Vice President, Operations. And in May 2016, Jawahar Tandon stepped down as our Executive Chairman of the Board but remained as a director. As a result, our current management team has very limited experience working together as a management group which could cause short-term difficulties in implementing and overseeing significant corporate and operational functions.

In addition, Mr. Clarke also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of GSB Holdings, Inc., a family-owned entity engaged only in investments and which is not involved in any industries in which our company currently competes. Mr. Clarke will spend a portion of his time managing the business and affairs of GSB Holdings, Inc. He may face a conflict regarding the allocation of time between our business and the other business interests of GSB Holdings, Inc. Mr. Clarke has agreed to devote as much time to the management of our business and affairs as is necessary for the proper conduct of our business and affairs. We expect Mr. Clarke will devote at least 90% of his time to our operations.

We rely on the continued involvement of Jawahar Tandon and the discontinuation of his involvement with our company could adversely affect our ability to offer, source and sell our products.

Our success depends, in part upon the continued involvement in our company of Jawahar Tandon, a director. For example, Jawahar Tandon developed certain key personal relationships with some of our customers, subcontract manufacturers and suppliers, as well as with Monster, Inc. We rely on these relationships in the conduct of our operations and the execution of our business strategies. The loss of Jawahar Tandon could, therefore, result in the loss of one or more of these favorable relationships. In addition we do not maintain “key person” life insurance covering Jawahar Tandon or any executive officer. The discontinuation of Jawahar Tandon’s involvement with our company could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives. Consequently, that loss could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

To date, we have engaged in significant related party transactions.

We have adopted a policy to be effective on the effective date of this offering that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the proper consent of our audit committee. Further to such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

policy, any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest, must first be presented to our audit committee for review consideration and approval. However to date, we have engaged in a substantial number of related party transactions prior to the adoption of such policy and all of which were approved by a board with no independent members. While the board believed the terms and conditions of such transactions was fair and in the best interests of our company, there can be no assurance that the transactions were on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

We have limited human resources; we need to attract and retain highly skilled personnel; and we may be unable to manage our growth with our limited resources effectively.

The expansion of our business has placed a significant strain on our limited managerial, operational, and financial resources. We have been and will continue to be required to expand our operational and financial systems significantly and to expand, train and manage our work force in order to manage the expansion of our operations. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, train, and retain additional highly skilled executive level management with experience in the memory and data storage industry. Competition is intense for these types of personnel from more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, marketing, human, and other resources than we have. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. To date we have had to limit the engagement of critical management and other key personnel due in part to limited financial resources. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. Further, our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, to install new management information and control systems and to train, motivate and manage employees. If we are unable to manage growth effectively and new employees are unable to achieve adequate performance levels, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

Our international operations subject us to risks, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our international operations are exposed to the following risks, several of which are out of our control:

Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our ability to execute any geographic expansion strategies or have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Terrorist attacks, war, threats of war and government responses thereto may negatively impact our operations, revenues, costs and the market price of our shares of common stock or warrants.

Terrorist attacks, U.S. military responses to these attacks, war, threats of war and any corresponding decline in consumer confidence could have a negative impact on consumer demand. Any of these events may disrupt our operations or those of our customers and suppliers and may affect the availability of materials needed to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacture our products or the means to transport those materials to manufacturing facilities and finished products to customers. Any of these events could also increase volatility in the U.S. and world financial markets, which could limit the capital resources available to us and our customers or suppliers, or adversely affect consumer confidence. Turmoil and unrest in regions from which we source our products could cause delays in the development or production of our products. This could harm our business and results of operation.

Our operations are vulnerable because we have limited redundancy and backup systems.

Our internal order, inventory and product data management system is an electronic system through which our customers place orders for our products and through which we manage product pricing, shipments, returns and other matters. This system’s continued and uninterrupted performance is critical to our day-to-day business operations. Despite our precautions, unanticipated interruptions in our computer and telecommunications systems could occur in the future. We have extremely limited ability and personnel to process purchase orders and manage product pricing and other matters in any manner other than through this electronic system. Any interruption or delay in the operation of this electronic system could cause a significant decline in our sales and profitability.

We may make acquisitions that are dilutive to existing stockholders. In addition, our limited experience in acquiring other businesses, product lines and technologies may make it difficult for us to overcome problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions we may undertake.

We intend to evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they arise, including business combinations, strategic partnerships, and the purchase, licensing or sale of assets. In connection with any such future transaction, we could issue dilutive equity securities, incur substantial debt, reduce our cash reserves or assume contingent liabilities.

Our experience in acquiring other businesses, product lines and technologies is limited. Our inability to overcome problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions could divert the attention of management, utilize scarce corporate resources and otherwise harm our business. Any potential future acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:

Furthermore, acquisitions may require material charges and could result in adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, deferred compensation charges, in-process research and development charges, the amortization of amounts related to deferred compensation and identifiable purchased intangible assets or impairment of goodwill, any of which could negatively affect our results of operations.

Sudden disruptions to the availability of freight lanes could have an impact on our operations.

We generally ship our products to our customers, and receive shipments from our suppliers, via air or ocean freight. The sudden unavailability or disruption of cargo operations or freight lanes, such as due to labor difficulties or disputes, severe weather patterns or other natural disasters, or political instability, terrorism or civil unrest, could impact our operating results by impairing our ability to timely and efficiently deliver our products.

If currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future, our financial results, which are reported in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore substantially all

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of our revenues are not subject to foreign currency risk. However, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could increase the real cost of our products to our customers outside of the United States, adversely affecting our business operations and financial results. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies, and any such strategies, such as forward contracts, options and foreign exchange swaps related to transaction exposures that we may implement to mitigate this risk may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Offered Securities

We do not know whether an active, liquid and orderly trading market will develop for our offered securities or what the market price of our offered securities will be and as a result it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock and warrants.

Prior to this offering there has been no market for the shares of our common stock or warrants and an active trading market for these securities may never develop or be sustained following this offering. The initial public offering price for our common stock and warrants will be determined through negotiations with the underwriters, and the negotiated price may not be indicative of the market price of our common stock or warrants after this offering. The market value of our common stock or warrants may decrease from the initial public offering price. As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock or warrants at or above the initial public offering price. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares or warrants. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock and may impair our ability to enter into collaborations or acquire companies or products by using our shares of common stock as consideration. The market price of our offered securities may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of the shares of our common stock and warrants following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include:

In addition, the stock market in general, and technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The realization of any of these risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the shares of our common stock and warrants.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of the shares of our common stock and warrants may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Pursuant to our decision to cancel our proposed acquisition of Syrma Technologies Pvt. Ltd., in September 2015 Jawahar Tandon, our former Executive Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer, and Devinder Tandon, one of our significant stockholders and a former director, offered in the aggregate to each stockholder who purchased shares of our company for cash the opportunity to receive .07 additional shares from Mssrs. Tandon’s beneficial holdings for each .41 shares held by such stockholder (together the “Additional Shares”). As a condition to such grant, the executing stockholder agreed to release our company and Westpark Capital from any claim or cause of action that arise out of or are related in any way to the purchase or acquisition of our common stock (the “Release”). Stockholders holding an aggregate of 1,279,056 of such shares agreed to receive Additional Shares and sign the Release; an aggregate of 216,971 Additional Shares were afforded these stockholders from each of Jawahar Tandon's and Devinder Tandon’s beneficial holdings. Stockholders holding an aggregate of 199,248 of such shares did not agree to receive any Additional Shares and did not sign the Release. As such, these stockholders have reserved rights to file claims against our company in connection with the issuance of securities to them, which claims may include claims that securities were sold to them in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. While we have not received any notice that such a claim has been or is intended to be filed, no assurance can be given that any such claim will not be made against us or any of our officers or directors, in light of the fact, or otherwise, that the proposed initial public offering price of the shares sold in connection this offering is less than the per share price paid by such stockholders. To the extent that any such claims or suits are brought and successfully concluded, we could be materially adversely affected, jeopardizing our ability to operate successfully. Furthermore, our human and capital resources of could be adversely affected by the need to defend any such actions, even if we are ultimately successful in our defense.

If you purchase shares of common stock and warrants in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of the shares of our common stock.

The proposed initial public offering price of the shares of our common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Investors purchasing shares of common stock and warrants in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our tangible assets after subtracting our liabilities. As a result, investors purchasing shares of common stock and warrants in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $4.05 per share, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the change set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Further, investors purchasing shares of common stock and warrants in this offering will contribute approximately 39.0% of the total amount invested by stockholders since our inception, but will own, as a result of such investment, only approximately 33.7% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following this offering.

As a result of the dilution to investors purchasing shares of common stock and warrants in this offering, investors may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering, if anything, in the event of our liquidation. Further, because we may need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated level of operations, we may in the future sell substantial amounts of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock. These future issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, together with the exercise of outstanding options and any additional shares issued in connection with acquisitions, if any, may result in further dilution to investors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are an “emerging growth company” and we intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could result in our shares of common stock or warrants being less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares of common stock or warrants less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares of common stock or warrants and the market price of such securities may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company, which in certain circumstances could be for up to five years. We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1 billion or more, (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act.

Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company and our management expects to devote substantial time to public company compliance programs.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, insurance, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, our administrative staff will be required to perform additional tasks. For example, in anticipation of becoming a public company, we will need to adopt additional internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures and bear all of the internal and external costs of preparing and distributing periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the securities laws. We intend to invest resources in connection with such adoption, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and may divert management’s time and attention from the marketing and sale of our products. In connection with this offering, we are securing directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage at a level that we believe is customary for similarly situated companies and adequate to provide us with insurance coverage for foreseeable risks, which will increase our insurance cost. In the future, it may be more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

In addition, in order to comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, including implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring new accounting or internal audit staff. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our principal executive and financial officers. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations. In the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results and the price of our common stock could decline. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Select Market, or Nasdaq.

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not yet required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with certain of these rules, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our second annual report. This assessment will need to include the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management or our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will be engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404. If we identify one or more material weaknesses, it could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate any material weaknesses or if we fail to establish and maintain effective control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of preparing for this offering, we determined that we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014 relating to the design and operation of our closing and financial reporting processes.

For a discussion of our remediation plan and the actions that we have executed during 2014 and 2015, in addition to the estimated costs incurred in connection with such remediation efforts, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” The actions we have taken are subject to continued review, supported by confirmation and testing

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by management. While we have implemented a plan to remediate this weakness, we cannot assure you that we will be able to remediate this weakness, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to successfully remediate this material weakness, and if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our stock price may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

Our failure to remediate the material weakness identified above or the identification of additional material weaknesses in the future, could adversely affect our ability to report financial information, including our filing of quarterly or annual reports with the SEC on a timely and accurate basis. Moreover, our failure to remediate the material weakness identified above or the identification of additional material weaknesses could prohibit us from producing timely and accurate financial statements, which may adversely affect our the market price of shares of our common stock or warrants and we may be unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.

Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of potential gain.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our shares of common stock and warrants will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of shares of our common stock or warrants to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our shares of our common stock or warrants. After this offering, we will have outstanding 7,650,728 shares of common stock (based on 3,750,000 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016 plus (i) an additional 1,331,059 shares of common stock to be issued further to the Conversion and (ii) an additional 69,669 shares of common stock to be issued further to the Company Conversion Issuance, each to occur immediately prior to the consummation of this offering and each assuming an initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This includes the shares that we are selling in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately without restriction, unless purchased by our affiliates. All holders of common stock, options and warrants outstanding prior to this offering have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they agreed not to sell any of our shares for a period of six months from the effective date of this offering, except for Jawahar Tandon who agreed not to sell any of our shares beneficially owned by him for a period of 12 months from the effective date of this offering. As representative of the underwriters, Axiom Capital Management, Inc. may, in its sole discretion, allow early releases under the referenced lock-up restrictions.

We have agreed to register all 382,575 shares of common stock held by Monster, Inc. upon demand. All of the shares involved in an effective registration statement may be freely sold and transferred, subject to any applicable lock-up agreement. We also intend to register all shares of common stock that we may issue under our equity compensation plan. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements described in the “Underwriting” section of this prospectus.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the market price of our shares of common stock or warrants to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. If we do not invest the net proceeds from this offering in

ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause the price of our shares of common stock or warrants to decline.

Some provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or increase the cost of acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders, or remove our current management. These include provisions that:

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, who are responsible for appointing the members of our management. Because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring us or merging with us whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction. Any provision of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock or warrants, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our shares of common stock or warrants.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the trading price of our common stock or warrants and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of our common stock and warrants will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our shares of common stock or warrants. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our shares of our stock and warrants would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our shares of common stock or warrants would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand

for our securities could decrease, which might cause the trading price of our shares of common stock or warrants and trading volume to decline.

The warrants are a risky investment. You may be unable to exercise your warrants for a profit.

The amount paid for the shares in this offering in excess of the value of our shares of common stock represents the value of your investment in the warrants. The value of the warrants will depend on the value of our common stock, which will depend on factors related and unrelated to the success of our business and cannot be predicted at this time. The warrants will have an exercise period of 60 months.

If the price of our shares of common stock does not increase to an amount sufficiently above the exercise price of the warrants during the exercise period of the warrants, you may be unable to recover any of your investment in the warrants. There can be no assurance that any of the factors that could impact the trading price of our common stock will result in the trading price increasing to an amount that will exceed the exercise price or the price required for you to achieve a positive return on your investment in the warrants.

The warrants included in this offering may not have any value.

The warrants will expire on the 60-month anniversary of the closing of the offering. In the event our common stock price does not exceed the exercise price of the warrants during the period in which the warrants are exercisable, the warrants may not have any value.

Holders of the warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until they acquire our common stock.

Until you acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants, you will have no rights with respect to our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, including the right to receive dividend payments, vote or respond to tender offers. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

Although we are required to use our best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants at the time that holders of our warrants exercise their warrants, we cannot guarantee that a registration statement will be effective, in which case holders of our warrants shall have the right to exercise the warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the warrants and may not be able to receive freely tradable shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants.

Holders of our warrants sold in this offering will be able to exercise the warrants and receive freely tradable shares only if (i) a current registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is then effective, or an exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) such shares of our common stock are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states in which the various holders of warrants reside. Although we have undertaken in the warrants, and therefore have a contractual obligation, to use our best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants following completion of this offering to the extent required by federal securities laws, and we intend to comply with our undertaking, we may not be able to do so. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, the holders of the warrants shall have the right to exercise the warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the warrants, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus. In addition, we have agreed to use our best efforts to register the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of the existing holders of the warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. The value of the warrants may be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not kept current or if the securities are not qualified, or exempt from qualification, in the states in which the holders of warrants reside.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the sections titled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” contains forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risks and uncertainties.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, after the date of this prospectus, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock and warrants of approximately $9.5 million, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. If the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock and warrants of is exercised in full, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $11.1 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

Each $0.475 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $1,092,000, assuming the number of shares offered, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 250,000 shares of common stock and 250,000 warrants in the number of shares of common stock and warrants offered would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $1,092,000, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

We currently estimate that we will use the net proceeds from this offering for repayment of indebtedness and for working capital, which will primarily consist of the funding of inventory, the hiring of additional marketing, the payment of $375,000 owed to Monster, Inc. further to the Monster License Agreement and sales personnel and for other general corporate purposes, which includes the cost of operating as a public company and the cost of potentially acquiring or licensing other products, businesses or technologies, although we have no present commitments for any such acquisitions or licenses. The $462,000 in indebtedness to be repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering consists of $336,000 lent to our company in the form of Bridge Notes plus a 22.5% origination fee of $75,600 plus an interest payment of $50,400 representing a fixed 15% of principal loaned. The Bridge Notes, issued between October 2015 and March 2016, had a maturity date of the earlier of one year from the date of issuance or the effective date of our initial public offering. The net proceeds from these Bridge Notes were used for working capital and the funding of inventory.

This expected use of our net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering.

Pending our use of our net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and US government securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our capital stock. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

Please note that because the quarter ended June 30, 2016 has recently ended, this financial information is, by necessity, preliminary in nature, based only upon preliminary information available to us as of the date of this prospectus and has not been reviewed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 will not be available until after this offering is completed, and, consequently, will not be available to you prior to investing in our common stock in this offering. Our actual results of operations for the quarter ended and financial status as of June 30, 2016 could differ materially from our estimates due to completion of our quarterly close procedures, final adjustments, review by our independent registered public accounting firm, and other developments that may arise before our financial results for the quarter are finalized. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the aforementioned financial estimate. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion cautioning against reliance on forward-looking information.

DILUTION

If you invest in the common stock and warrants sold in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price of each share of our common stock offered hereby and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

Our historical net tangible deficit as of March 31, 2016 was approximately $10.4 million, or $2.77 per share of common stock. Our historical net tangible deficit is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities.

On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to (i) the issuance of 2,802,430 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of June 23, 2016 at a per share price of $1.00 and (ii) the conversion of (a) all such outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 589,985 shares of common stock and 589,985 warrants and (b) an aggregate of $3,520,100 of outstanding notes and other indebtedness into an aggregate of 741,074 shares of common stock and 741,074 warrants (the “Conversion”) and (iii) the issuance of 69,669 shares of common stock further to the Company Conversion Issuance, each assuming an initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, each of which will occur immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, our net tangible deficit at March 31. 2016 would have been approximately $5.0 million or $(0.96) per share of common stock.

After giving effect our receipt of the net proceeds from our sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock and 2,500,000 warrants at an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2016 would have been approximately $5.3 million, or $0.70 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as further adjusted net tangible book value of $3.47 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $4.05 per share to investors purchasing in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:

Assumed initial public offering price of each share offered hereby						$	4.75
Historical net tangible deficit per share as of March 31, 2016		$	(2.77	)
Pro forma increase in historical net tangible book value per share attributable to the Conversion and the Company Conversion Issuance			1.81
Pro forma net tangible deficit per share			(0.96	)
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing shares in this offering			1.66
Pro forma adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering							0.70
Dilution per share to investors purchasing in this offering						$	4.05

Each $0.475 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted dilution to new investors by $0.14 per share, assuming that the number of shares offered, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Similarly, each increase of 250,000 shares in the number of shares offered would increase the as adjusted net tangible book value, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, to approximately $0.81 per share and decrease the dilution to new investors to $3.94 per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Each decrease of 250,000 shares in the number of shares offered would decrease the as adjusted net tangible book value, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, to approximately $0.57 per share and increase the dilution to new investors to $4.18 per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares and warrants in full, the as adjusted net tangible book value per share, as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

adjusted to give effect to this offering, would be $0.87 per share, and the dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering would be $3.88 per share.

The table below summarizes as of March 31, 2016, after giving effect to the Conversion and the Company Conversion Issuance based on an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration and the average price per share (i) paid to us by our existing stockholders and (ii) to be paid by investors purchasing in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share of the shares of common stock sold in connection with this offering, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the section of this prospectus titled “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

General

Our primary business focus is the design, development and marketing of premium products under the “Monster Digital” brand for use in high-performance computing and consumer and mobile product applications. We have invested significantly in building a broad distribution channel for the sale of products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand. As of March 31, 2016, our initial product entries of memory storage devices and peripherals are offered in over 15,000 locations globally. Our top four customers for our memory storage products for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were Rite Aid (35%), Fry’s (14%), Florida State Games (12%), and InMotion (11%), for the year ended December 31, 2015 were Walgreens (19%), Rite Aid (18%), Sam’s Club (12%) and InMotion (6%) and for the year ended December 31, 2014 were Sam’s Club (24%), Walgreens (24%), Ingram Micro (8%) and Rite Aid (6%). Our current focus is to leverage our distribution network through cooperating with Monster, Inc. to identify and market additional specialty and consumer electronics products.

Currently, our primary product offerings are as follows:

Our license with Monster, Inc. allows us to manufacture and sell certain high-end products, utilizing the Monster premium brand name which is highly recognized by consumers for its high quality audio-video products. We work with our world-class subcontract manufacturers and suppliers to offer new and enhanced products that use existing technology and adopt new technologies to satisfy existing and emerging consumer demands and preferences. On the marketing side, we partner with Monster, Inc. to support the sales and marketing of these products on a global basis.

Historically, memory has been the most significant part of our business. It is a commodity that tends to be subject to price erosion. The average selling price (“ASP”) for our products reflects this tendency. The top ten products sold in during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 had a weighted average ASP of $12.64, $18.50 and $42.39, respectively. Using the Monster branding to quickly introduce new technologies to the market is designed to bring about the introduction of products that are not subject to the same level of downward pressure on pricing as is common with memory products.

Prior to 2012, our primary business focus was on selling and distributing non-branded memory module products used in computing and mobile devices. Our customers consisted principally of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors. In 2012, through a long-term license agreement, we acquired the right to use the brand “Monster Digital”, after which our primary business focus became the design, development and marketing of premium memory storage products for use in high-performance computing and demanding consumer and mobile product applications. With a well-recognized brand to bring to the market, we have

TABLE OF CONTENTS

expanded our product offerings and have shifted away from OEM customers in favor of local, regional and national retailers and distributors. Our customer base has grown to over 60 customers. We have funded our operations to date primarily from cash flow from an accounts receivable factoring facility, purchase order financing facilities, loans from related parties and capital from the issuance of common stock and convertible notes.

Since our founding, we have invested heavily in growing our business. Our headcount increased from approximately 12 employees as of December 31, 2013 to 20 employees as of March 31, 2016. We intend to continue to invest and expand our sales and marketing functions, including expanding our global network of retailers and distributors and carrying our associated marketing activities in key geographies. By investing in sales and technical training, demand generation and partner programs, we believe we can enable many of our partners to independently identify, qualify, sell and upgrade customers, with limited involvement from us. However, if we fail to effectively identify, train and manage our retail and distribution partners and to monitor their sales activity, as well as the customer support and services being provided to our customers in their local markets, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be harmed.

In addition, we intend to expand and continue to invest in our international operations, which we believe will be an important factor in our continued growth. Our revenue generated from customers outside of the United States was minimal for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as our international operations are relatively new and we have limited experience operating in foreign jurisdictions. Our inexperience in operating our business outside of the United States increases the risk that our international expansion efforts may not be successful.

As a result of our strategy to increase our investments in sales, marketing, support and international expansion, we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations at least in the near future and may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Ability to Fund Operations.

To date, we have incurred significant operating losses and substantial negative cash flow from operations. This is due in large part on our need to expend significant dollars on inventory and marketing efforts prior to the receipt of cash from the collection of our accounts receivable. We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing efforts to grow our sales platform and improve operating results. In order to effectuate this growth, we must have significant cash resources available. Our business and results of operations will continue to depend on our ability to access adequate financial assets to fund our projected growth.

Investment in growth.  We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding our operations, increasing our headcount, developing our products to support our growth and expanding our infrastructure. We expect our total operating expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future to meet our growth objectives. We plan to continue to invest in our sales and support operations with a particular focus in the near term of adding additional sales personnel to further broaden our support and coverage of our existing customer base, in addition to developing new customer relationships. Any investments we make in our sales and marketing organization will occur in advance of experiencing any benefits from such investments, and the return on these investments may be lower than we expect. In addition, as we invest in expanding our operations internationally, our business and results will become further subject to the risks and challenges of international operations, including higher operating expenses and the impact of legal and regulatory developments outside the United States.

Adding New Customers and Expanding Sales to Our Existing Customer Base.  We intend to target new customers by continuing to invest in our field sales force and extending our relationships with existing distributors and retailers. We also intend to continue to target large customers organizations who have yet to offer our products. A typical initial order involves educating prospective customers about the technical merits and capabilities and potential cost savings of our products as compared to our competitors’ products. We believe that customer references have been, and will continue to be, an important factor in winning new business. We expect that a substantial portion of our future sales will be sales to existing customers, including

TABLE OF CONTENTS

expansion of their product offerings as we offer new products through the existing sales channel. Our business and results of operations will depend on our ability to continue to add new customers and sell additional products to our growing base of customers.

Promoting our Brand and Offering Additional Products.  Our future performance will depend on our continued ability to achieve brand recognition for our Monster Digital line of products. We plan to increase our marketing expenditures to continue to create and maintain prominent brand awareness. Also, our future performance will depend on our ability to continue to offer high quality, high performance and high functionality products through our network of retailers and distributors. We intend to continue to devote efforts to introduce new products including new versions of our existing product lines. We expect that our results of operations will be impacted by the timing, size and level of success of these brand awareness and product offering efforts.

Ability to Maintain Higher Average Selling Prices.  Our gross margins have been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing of changes in pricing, shipment volumes, new product introductions, changes in product mixes, changes in our purchase price of components and assembly and test service costs and inventory write downs, if any. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience price erosion over the life cycle of our products. This is due in large part to competitive pressures, customer demand and technological changes. Our goal is to strive to maintain gross profits for products that have a declining average selling price by continuing to focus on increased sales volume and looking to reduce operating costs. We also focus on managing our inventory to reduce our overall exposure to price erosion. In addition, we seek to introduce new products with higher gross margins to offset the effect of price erosion on other lines of products. Our business and results of operations will depend on our ability to reduce our exposure to declines in average selling prices.

Net sales

The principal factors that have affected or could affect our net sales from period to period are:

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold primarily includes the cost of products that we purchase from third party manufacturers and sell to our customers. Additional packaging and assembly (labor) costs for certain product orders is also a component of costs of goods sold. Cost of goods sold is also affected by inventory obsolescence if our inventory management is not effective or efficient. We mitigate the risk of inventory obsolescence by stocking relatively small amounts of inventory at any given time, and relying instead on a strategy of manufacturing or acquiring products based on orders placed by our customers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses relate primarily to compensation and associated expenses for personnel in general management, information technology, human resources, procurement, planning and finance, as well as outside legal, investor relations, accounting, consulting and other operating expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses

Results of Operations

The following discussion explains in greater detail our consolidated operating results and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

		Three months ended March 31,
		2016				2015
		(in thousands)
Net sales		$	538			$	1,384

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased approximately 61% to $538,000 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This was primarily attributable to the reduction in sales for our top three customers during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Strategies for the sale of new product lines were in their infancy in the first quarter of 2016 and such sales had an immaterial impact on total sales for the year. In addition, cash constraints have limited our ability to aggressively build and fill a pipeline for our products.

		Three months ended March 31,
		2016				2015
		(in thousands)
Cost of goods sold		$	491			$	1,209
Gross profit		$	47			$	175
Gross profit margin			8.7	%			12.6	%

Cost of goods sold decreased approximately $718,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $491,000, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. As a percent of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 91.34% in the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 87.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is attributable primarily to the fixed component of cost which does not decrease as sales decrease. In addition, and in general, gross profit as a percentage of net sales is caused by a combination of factors, including product mix, customer mix, and specific pricing decisions. These factors can effect a significant change in gross profit as a percentage of net sales from one period to the next, particularly when sales are relatively low, which is typical of the first quarter of our operating year. Gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to $47,000 from $175,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 8.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 12.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Sales and Marketing for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased approximately 26%, to $635,000, compared to $857,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was significantly attributable to the decrease in expenses such as commission and royalties that vary directly with sales.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by approximately 12% to $992,000 compared to $883,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $94,000. There was no stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2015.

Research and development (“R&D”)		$	49			$	127

R & D for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased approximately 61% to $49,000, compared to $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our R&D function is managed by one employee, and we use the services of third party software engineers to complement our needs on a product-by-product basis if and when needed. With respect to our products, the basic functional technology we use changes very little over time, therefore, our R&D spending is primarily related to enhancing existing functionality, introducing new functions within existing products, and designing and engineering new products largely with existing proven technology. We do not expect that R&D costs as a percentage of sales will be significant for the foreseeable future.

Interest and finance expense		$	252			$	531
Debt conversion expense		$	—			$	898

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 we incurred approximately $237,000 in borrowing costs related to bridge financing, $176,000 of which was the amortization of debt discount related to a bridge loan origination fee. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, debt conversion expense of $898,000 was a non-cash expense incurred as an inducement for the exchange of our convertible notes and warrants further to our exchange offer, with a corresponding credit to paid in capital.

Income tax provision		$	—			$	—

Income tax expense generally consists of state income taxes due or paid in the states in which we operate and no expense was recognized in the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. We have not recognized a deferred tax benefit for the operating losses generated during the periods due to the uncertainty that we will generate taxable income in the future that will allow us to utilize the benefit.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity throughout the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been cash raised in private placements of preferred stock, common stock and notes payable and an accounts receivable factoring credit facility. In addition, from time to time, we have obtained short-term, non-interest bearing loans from a related party to complement our working capital needs.

In June 2015, we secured an accounts receivable financing facility with Bay View Funding. The contract provides for maximum funding of $4.0 million and a factoring fee of 1.35% for the first 30 days and .45% for each 10-day period thereafter that the financed receivable remains outstanding. As of March 31, 2016, the balance owed on this facility was $147,000.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Between October 2015 and March 2016, we issued an aggregate of $4,116,000 principal amount of promissory notes, or Bridge Notes. The Bridge Notes are due and payable on the earlier of one year from the date of issuance or the closing date of our initial public offering, and consist of $3,360,000 loaned to our company and a 22.5% loan origination fee payable on maturity. Amounts actually loaned bear interest at a fixed amount of 15% of principal loaned, regardless of the time that the loan is outstanding. Bridge Note holders which loaned our company $3,024,000 have agreed that the unpaid actual loan amount of the Bridge Notes will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into a number of shares of common stock and warrants equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the unpaid principal amount of the Bridge Notes by the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus; the interest and the loan origination fee were waived. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the Bridge Notes will convert into approximately 636,632 shares of common stock and 636,632 warrants.

In March 2016, we authorized the issuance of an aggregate of $3.0 million worth of our Series A Preferred Stock. Further to the terms of such Series A Preferred Stock, said securities will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into an equivalent dollar amount of shares of common stock and warrants at the initial offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus. An aggregate of 2,802,430 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of June 23, 2016. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, said outstanding shares of preferred stock will convert into approximately 589,985 shares of common stock and 589,985 warrants.

The use of the net proceeds of the Bridge Notes and Series A Preferred Stock was the funding of inventory purchases and working capital and corporate expenses, including personnel expenses and professional fees and expenses associated with this offering.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $747,000, due primarily to the net loss of $1.9 million, partially offset by the collection of accounts receivable of $279,000, a decrease in inventory of $142,000 and a net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $266,000. In addition, there were non-cash charges of $94,000 for stock-based compensation and the amortization of debt issuance costs of $196,000. The reduction in accounts receivable and inventory are reflective of the decrease in sales for the period. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the $3.1 million net loss was offset by $2.8 million in collections on accounts receivable and a significant increase in accounts payable of $1.8 million. There were also non-cash charges of $898,000 for debt conversion expense and $515,000 for the amortization of debt issuance costs.

Investing Activities

Our current operating structure does not depend upon a significant investment in capital equipment or operating facilities. Substantially all of our manufacturing is conducted offshore by third party manufacturers. Our office and warehouse facilities are leased under a three-year operating lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we used no cash in investing activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $670,000 and was attributable to the bridge loan financing and preferred stock issuances during the first quarter of 2016. Net

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cash used by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $3.2 million and was due, primarily, to the repayment of approximately $4.5 million of our accounts receivable credit facility as a result of the collection of accounts receivable.

Debt Instruments

As of March 31, 2016, debt instruments include $4.1 million of promissory notes, a $375,000 note payable related to trademark licensing and two convertible notes payable with a total principal amount of $38,000 due in 2015 that remain unpaid.

Net sales		$	8,266			$	11,343

Net sales in 2015 decreased approximately 27% to $8.3 million from $11.3 million in 2014. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to a reduction in sales to our top three customers in the year ended December 31, 2015. Strategies for the sale of new product lines were in their infancy in 2015 and such sales had an immaterial impact on total sales for the year.

Cost of goods sold decreased approximately 29% in 2015 to $7.8 million, as compared to $11.1 million in 2014. As a percent of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 97.9% in 2014 to 94.8% in 2015. Gross profit increased approximately 82% in 2015 to $426,000 as compared to $234,000 in 2014. As a percentage of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

net sales, gross profit increased to 5.2% in 2015 as compared to 2.1% in 2014. These low gross profit margins were caused by a combination of factors including product mix, customer mix and specific pricing decisions. These factors can affect a significant change in gross profit as a percentage of net sales from one period to the next, particularly when sales are relatively low. In 2015, for instance, we resold approximately $1.3 million of returned products at substantially reduced prices which resulted in a loss of approximately $900,000. There was also an overall reduction in average selling price for certain products during the year ended December 31, 2015. In the year ended December 31, 2014, we began selling to several large national retailers in the third and fourth quarters of the year. In order to establish these new relationships, we offered abnormally large discounts in the form of market development credits (MDF credits) and other liberal allowances during the year. These allowances, along with price protection and return allowance, which effectively reduced the selling prices to these customers, totaled $3.4 million, or 21% of gross sales before these allowances, during 2014.

		2015				2014
		(in thousands)
Selling and marketing		$	2,928			$	3,722
General and administrative			3,625				2,646

Sales and marketing expense in 2015 decreased approximately $794,000, or 21%, to $2.9 million, as compared to $3.7 million for 2014. Sales and marketing, as a percentage of net sales was 35.4% and 32.8% for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was significantly attributable to the decrease in expenses such as commissions and royalties that vary directly with sales.

General and administrative expense in 2015 increased by approximately $979,000, or 37%, to $3.6 million as compared to $2.7 million in 2014. The most significant expenses contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense were the employee related expenses such as compensation, payroll taxes and medical insurance as we have employed more personnel in our purchasing, finance and administrative functions to build our infrastructure in support of the growth of our business. We will continue to assess our infrastructure requirements and expect that our general and administrative spending will increase at a modest rate as revenues increase, but will decline as a percentage of sales. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $356,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation and recorded a $300,000 contingent legal expense. There was no stock-based compensation in 2014.

Research and development expense for 2015 decreased approximately $209,000, or 39%, to $333,000, as compared to $542,000 for 2014, primarily due to the completion of certain development projects in 2014. Our research and development function is managed by one employee, and we use the services of third party software engineers to complement our needs on a product-by-product basis if and when needed. With respect to our products, the basic functional technology we use changes very little over time, therefore, our R&D spending is primarily related to enhancing existing functionality, introducing new functions within existing products, and designing and engineering new products largely with existing proven technology. We do not expect that R&D costs as a percentage of sales will be significant for the foreseeable future.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $333,000 of interest expense related to our accounts receivable financing credit facility and approximately $503,000 of interest expense related to debt conversions that occurred in early 2015. In addition, we incurred approximately $545,000 of interest expense

related to bridge loan financing in the fourth quarter of 2015, $101,000 of which was the amortization of debt discount related to a bridge loan origination fee. In 2014, we incurred approximately $382,000 in interest expense related to our financing credit facilities. In connection with raising $3.5 million of convertible debt with detachable warrants, we incurred interest expense on the debt of approximated $100,000 and amortization of debt discount related to the warrants of approximately $1.1 million. (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In December 2014, approximately $3.4 million of our convertible notes were converted to common stock pursuant to an exchange offer. In connection with the conversion, we recognized debt conversion expense of $2.7 million in 2014. The debt conversion expense recognized in 2015 related to the exchange offer was approximately $898,000 in connection with conversion of $1.6 million convertible notes into common stock.

Income tax expense in 2015 and 2014 consists of minimum state income taxes due in the states in which we operate. We have not recognized a deferred tax benefit for the operating losses generated in 2015 or prior due to the uncertainty that we will generate taxable income in the future that will allow us to utilize the benefit.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity throughout the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been cash raised in private placements of common stock and notes payable, an accounts receivable factoring credit facility, and a purchase order finance facility. In addition, from time to time, we have obtained short-term, non-interest bearing loans from a related party to complement our working capital needs.

In June 2015, we secured an accounts receivable financing facility with Bay View Funding. The new contract provides for maximum funding of $4.0 million and a factoring fee of 1.35% for the first 30 days and .45% for each 10-day period thereafter that the financed receivable remains outstanding. As of December 31, 2015, the balance owed on this facility was $215,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we had one purchase order finance facility in place with Brookridge Funding. When we would receive a firm purchase order from our customer, we would prepare a purchase order to one of our offshore suppliers. We then submitted all documentation to our purchase order financer who in turn would establish a standby letter of credit on our behalf for the benefit of that offshore supplier. Once the standby letter of credit was in place, our supplier would initiate production of our order. Upon completion of our purchase order, our purchase order financer would remit payment to the offshore supplier, at which time we would ship the product to our customer and present our invoice to them. At the same time, we could submit the invoice to our credit provider, as described in the previous paragraph, and the credit provider will remit to the purchase order financer the amount owed for the purchase transaction. As of September 30, 2015, the balance owed on this facility was $940,000. This facility was terminated in October 2015 as Brookridge Funding declined to renew it. We were informed that the primary reason for such non-renewal was due to certain concerns regarding our company’s financial performance. All amounts due to Brookridge Funding were settled at that time.

In 2015 and 2014, the net amount of cash we received from our credit facilities, the private placement of common stock and issuance of convertible debt totaled $1.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively. We currently rely on third-party suppliers to manufacture our products to our specifications. As such, historically our capital expenditures on plant and equipment have been nominal and are expected to continue as such for the foreseeable future.

Between October 2015 and March 2016, we issued an aggregate of $4,116,000 principal amount of promissory notes, or Bridge Notes. The Bridge Notes are due and payable on the earlier of one year from the date of issuance or the closing date of our initial public offering, and consist of $3,360,000 loaned to our company and a 22.5% loan origination fee payable on maturity. Amounts actually loaned bear interest at a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fixed amount of 15% of principal loaned, regardless of the time that the loan is outstanding. Bridge Note holders which loaned our company $3,024,000 have agreed that the unpaid actual loan amount of the Bridge Notes will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into a number of shares of common stock and warrants equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the unpaid principal amount of the Bridge Notes by the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus; the interest and the loan origination fee were waived. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the Bridge Notes will convert into approximately 636,632 shares of common stock and 636,632 warrants.

In March 2016, we authorized the issuance of an aggregate of $3.0 million worth of our Series A Preferred Stock. Further to the terms of such Series A Preferred Stock, said securities will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into an equivalent dollar amount of shares of common stock and warrants at the initial offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus. An aggregate of 2,802,430 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of June 23, 2016. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, said outstanding shares of preferred stock will convert into approximately 589,985 shares of common stock and 589,985 warrants.

The use of the net proceeds of the Bridge Notes and Series A Preferred Stock was the funding of inventory purchases and working capital and corporate expenses, including personnel expenses and professional fees and expenses associated with this offering.

Net increase (decrease) in cash		$	22			$	96			$	(74	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $1.7 million due primarily to a net loss of $8.7 million, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $1.9 million decrease in inventory. Both of these decreases are reflective of the decrease in sales as well as a more conservative approach to inventory levels maintained. In the addition, the net loss included non-cash charges totaling $583,000 for the amortization of debt discount, a debt to equity conversion expense of $898,000 and stock-based compensation expense of $356,000. The reduction in accounts receivable is reflective of 28 days of sales outstanding at December 31, 2015 as compared to 115 days of sales outstanding at December 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities in 2014 was approximately $7.5 million, due primarily to a net loss of $11.1 million, partially offset by non-cash finance and other charges of approximately $3.9 million pertaining to convertible debt issued in 2014. We used approximately $3.1 million of cash with the increase in customer accounts receivable, while we were leveraged our trade payables by $2.9 million. In addition, accrued expenses increased by approximately $1.3 million. The increase in accounts receivable corresponded to the increase in sales and was also reflective of 115 days sales outstanding in 2014 as compared to 92 days sales outstanding in 2013.

Investing Activities

Our current operating structure does not depend upon a significant investment in capital equipment or operating facilities. Substantially all of our manufacturing is conducted offshore by third party manufacturers. Our office and warehouse facilities are leased under a three-year operating lease. For 2015 and 2014, we used no cash in investing activities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $1.8 million. There was a net repayment of approximately $4.8 million of our accounts receivable credit facility as a result of the collection of accounts receivable, as indicated above. In 2015, we continue to receive funding through the issuance of convertible debt under the private placement offering that began in 2014. In 2015, an additional gross total of $1.6 million was raised under this offering, and the offering has been closed. In March 2015, we initiated a common stock purchase rights offering for the issuance of up to $4.8 million of equity and raised a net total of $3.0 million under this offering. From October to December 2015, we raised a net total of issued $2.5 million, issuing $3.5 million of promissory notes. The use of the net proceeds of such indebtedness was the funding of inventory purchases and working capital and corporate expenses, including personnel expenses and professional fees and expenses associated with this offering. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2014 was approximately $7.6 million, due primarily to net proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt of $2.8 million, net of issuance costs of $.6 million, and net borrowings under an accounts receivable factoring credit facility of approximately $4.3 million.

Debt Instruments

As of December 31, 2015, debt instruments include $3.5 million of promissory notes, a $450,000 note payable related to trademark licensing and two convertible notes payable with a total principal amount of $38,000, due in 2015 that remain unpaid.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We have not achieved profitability since our inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our cash expenditures to increase in the near term as we fund our future growth. Following this offering, we will be a publicly traded company and will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we were not required to incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the Nasdaq Stock Market, requires public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that are currently inapplicable to us as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Based on our business and development plans and our timing expectations related to the progress of our products, we expect that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash as of December 31, 2015, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of 2016. A significant use of the net proceeds from this offering will be for funding inventory purchases in order to grow sales in 2016. Pending completion of the offering and not anticipating any new borrowings, the existing cash and factoring facility will allow us to fund the operations through May 2016. We currently anticipate that our company will need a minimum funding of approximately $8.6 million to conduct our proposed operations in 2016. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: the costs and timing of future product and marketing activities, including product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution for any of our products; the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel; and the timing and success of this offering. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate more substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings.

We will need to raise substantial additional financing in the future to fund our operations. In order to meet these additional cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or convertible securities that may result in dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible securities, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing agreements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, technologies or future revenue streams or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Please see “Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable SEC rules and regulations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, which are based upon historical experiences, market trends and financial forecasts and projections, and upon various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances at that certain point in time. Actual results may differ, significantly at times, from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates affect the significant estimates and judgments we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.

Revenue recognition

Net sales (revenue) are recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, when delivery has occurred, when the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and when collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. These elements are met when title to the products is passed to the buyers, which is generally when product is delivered to the customer and the customer has accepted delivery.

Certain customers have limited rights of return and/or are entitled to price adjustments on products held in their inventory. We reduce net sales in the period of sale for estimates of product returns, price adjustments and other allowances. Our reserve estimates are based upon historical data as well as projections of sales, customer inventories, price adjustments, average selling prices and market conditions. Price protection is calculated on a product by product basis. The objective of price protection is to mitigate returns by providing retailers with credits to ensure maximum consumer sales. Price protection is granted to retailers after they have presented our company an affidavit of existing inventory. Actual returns and adjustments could be significantly different from our estimates and provisions, resulting in an adjustment to net sales.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the weighted average cost method of accounting. We purchase finished goods and materials to assemble kits in quantities that we anticipate will be fully used in the near term. Changes in operating strategy, customer demand, and fluctuations in market values can limit our ability to effectively utilize all products purchased and can result in finished goods with above-market carrying costs which may cause losses on sales to customers. Our policy is to closely monitor inventory levels, obsolescence and lower market values compared to costs and, when necessary, reduce the carrying amount of inventory to market value. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, inventory on hand was comprised primarily of finished goods ready for sale and packaging materials.

Share-based compensation/Warrants valuation

We use the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants on the date of grant. The amount of compensation or other expense recognized using the Black-Scholes model requires us to exercise judgment and make assumptions relating to the factors that determine the fair value of our share-based grants. The fair value calculated by this model is a function of several factors, including the grant price, the expected future volatility, the expected term of the option or warrant and the risk-free interest rate correlating to the term of the option or warrant. The expected term is derived using the simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 which averages an awards weighted average vesting period and contractual term for “plain vanilla” share options. The expected volatility is estimated by analyzing the historic volatility of similar public companies. The risk-free rate of return reflects the weighted average interest rate offered for US treasury rates over the expected life of options or warrants. The expected term and expected future volatility requires our judgment. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize a cost or expense for those stock options or warrants expected to vest.

Estimated Litigation Losses

We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with the normal course of business and have established a reserve for contingent legal liabilities in connection with three pending cases. Based on the range of possible loss as provided by outside legal counsel, we have reserved $400,000 for possible loss related to the three cases at December 31, 2015. The reserve represents what we believe to be an estimate of possible loss only for those three matters and does not represent the maximum loss exposure. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events and there is, therefore, considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any. We will continue to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the adequacy of the loss reserve, and update our disclosure if necessary, based on available information and in accordance with ASC 450-20-50, evaluating developments in legal proceedings, investigation or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probably and reasonably estimable.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value is based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is determined on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All stock options and stock purchase warrants are valued under methods of fair value under the Level 3 tier, as described above.

Factors included in the valuation of common stock underlying stock options and warrants include the present value of future cash flows, capital structure, valuation of comparable companies, existing licensing agreements and the growth prospects for our product line. These factors were incorporated into an income approach and a market approach in order to derive an overall valuation of our common stock of $5.49. Such a valuation is dependent upon estimates that are highly complex and subjective and will not be necessary once the shares underlying stock options and warrants begin trading.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-8 contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

We face potential exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in Asia, due to the fact that we source substantially all of our products in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. Although we currently transact all purchases in U.S. dollars and therefore do not engage in any currency hedging activities, an adverse change in the currency exchange rate in those countries could adversely affect the price at which our suppliers would be willing to sell to us. Our foreign currency risk may change over time as the level of activity in foreign markets grows and could have a material adverse impact upon our financial results.

Interest Rate Risk

We have a credit facility with a U.S. based financing company. Borrowings under the facility are subject to a variable rate of interest, and subject to a minimum of interest rate 6.75%. Throughout 2015, the minimum interest rate of 6.75% was in effect. A rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact upon our cost of working capital and our interest expense. As a matter of policy, we do not enter into derivative transactions for hedging variable rate interest or for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2015, our outstanding principal debt included $215,000 outstanding under our accounts receivable financing facility. Based on our average borrowing under the facility in 2015, an increase in the variable interest rate by 1.0% would have caused an increase of our interest expense by approximately $26,000. A decrease in the variable rate would have no impact on interest expense because of the minimum interest rate provision.

Inflation Risk

Inflation did not have a material effect on net sales or net loss in 2015. A significant increase in inflation could have a significant detrimental impact on our future performance since our products are ultimately purchased by individual consumers whose discretionary spending is influenced by the effects of inflation. We are unable to quantify the potential effects that various rates of inflation could have on our operating performance.

Credit Risk

The success of our business depends, among other factors, on the strength of the North American and global economies and the stability of the financial markets, which in turn affects end users’ demand for our products and therefore our customers’ demand for our products. We provide credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and perform initial and ongoing credit evaluations, while at times providing extended terms. We believe that our exposure to concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is largely mitigated by dispersion of our customers over various geographic areas. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risks.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes: maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of our assets are made in accordance with management’s authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Furthermore, our controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls or procedures, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

Our management has determined that we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014 relating to the design and operation of our closing and financial reporting processes. We have concluded that this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is due to the fact that we do not yet have the appropriate resources with the appropriate level of experience and technical expertise to oversee our closing and financial reporting processes.

In order to remediate this material weakness, we have taken the following actions:

In connection with the initiatives we implemented to remediate the material weakness, we incurred approximately $220,000 of costs in fiscal 2015 which consisted of personnel and consulting expenses. We expect to incur additional expense of approximately $250,000 in fiscal 2016 as we hire additional financial accounting staff and improve our accounting and financial reporting systems. The initiatives we have implemented are subject to continued management review supported by confirmation and testing, as well as audit committee oversight. We expect to complete the measures above within approximately 90 to 120 days after upon the completion of this offering and will continue to implement measures to remedy our internal control deficiencies in order to meet the reporting requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, we cannot be certain that the measures we have taken or might take in the future will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future.

Notwithstanding the material weakness that existed as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operation and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

If we fail to fully remediate this material weakness or fail to maintain effective internal controls in the future, it could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial information or cause our stock price to decline. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and, under the JOBS Act, will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and therefore we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements. As an “emerging growth company:”

However, we are choosing to irrevocably opt out of the extended transition periods available under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1 billion or more, (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BUSINESS

Our primary business focus is the design, development and marketing of premium products under the “Monster Digital” brand for use in high-performance consumer electronics, mobile products and computing applications. Our license with Monster, Inc. allows us to manufacture and sell certain high-end products utilizing the “Monster Digital” brand name; Monster, Inc. is highly recognized by consumers for its high quality audio-video products. We work with our subcontract manufacturers and suppliers to offer new and enhanced products that use existing technology and adopt new technologies to satisfy existing and emerging consumer demands and preferences. On the marketing side, we partner with Monster, Inc. to support the sales and marketing of these products on a global basis.

We have invested significantly in building a broad distribution channel for the sale of products bearing the “Monster Digital” brand. As of March 31, 2016, our initial product entries of memory storage devices and peripherals are offered in over 15,000 locations globally. Our top four customers for our memory storage products for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were Rite Aid (35%), Fry’s (14%), Florida State Games (12%) and InMotion (11%), for the year ended December 31, 2015 were Walgreens (19%), Rite Aid (18%), Sam’s Club (12%) and InMotion (6%) and for the year ended December 31, 2014 were Sam’s Club (24%), Walgreens (24%), Ingram Micro (8%) and Rite Aid (6%). Our current focus is to leverage our distribution network through cooperating with Monster, Inc. to identify and market additional specialty and consumer electronics products.

Currently, our primary product offerings are as follows:

We intend to focus our efforts on increasing sales of higher margin specialty products over lower margin memory items. While sales of memory products helped to build our Monster Digital brand, we believe our future success depends in large part on our ability to substantially increase sales of specialty products bearing the Monster Digital brand as a percentage of revenues.

Action Sports Cameras

Market

Action cameras are used to capture extreme action sports or activities. Action cameras are more convenient than traditional analog cameras for capturing action and sports. Regular cameras are typically incapable of capturing high-speed actions and are not designed for rugged conditions, including extreme weather. In contrast, action cameras are compact, lightweight, designed for rugged conditions, and can be worn on the person, or are mountable on vehicles. These cameras can capture high-speed and high-quality images. Professional applications include the use of action cameras by professionals for sports, training, government agencies, and movies; casual applications are primarily personal use, which includes adventure tourism, photography, and shooting short films.

According to Technovio, the global action camera market is experiencing a period of substantial growth, with revenues increasing 41.82% in 2014. In terms of volume, Technovio states that the action camera market shipped 7.63 million units in 2014 and is expected to increase to 21.54 million units by 2019, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 23.07%. The report states that the global action camera market was valued at $1.99 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach $5.72 billion by 2019, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 23.51%.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe the following factors continue to drive the growth of action camera sales:

According to Technovio, the global action camera market is currently witnessing an increase in demand from developed countries: the US and the UK are major contributors to the market. High per capita income, rapid increase in adventure sports tourism, and growing interest in social networking are some of the factors boosting the sale of action cameras in these countries. The action camera market in the Americas shipped 3.71 million units in 2014, which is expected to increase to 9.13 million units by 2019, with a compounded annual growth rate of 19.73% percent. The high spending power of consumers in North America has led to the region being the early adopter of action cameras. Moreover, according to Technovio, more than 50% of Americans are involved with adventure activities. Finally, vendors in these countries are sponsoring extreme sports events to promote their brands.

Our Action Sports Cameras

We believe that to succeed in the competitive action camera marketplace, it is imperative that we to distinguish our product offerings through clear and unique value propositions. For this reason, we have positioned our current action sports camera offerings as “ready-to-go” cameras. We believe our approach is unique to this category as we intend to provide a completely “all included” solution for the consumer. The strategy is to provide the end user with everything necessary to start enjoying the product straight out of the box.

The “all included” package contains numerous universal mounts designed to enable users to capture content when engaged in a wide variety of activities. These include helmet, handlebar grip and tripod mounts. Also included are helmet straps, a tripod and a removable replaceable battery. We also intend to sell cables that connect our action sports cameras to television monitors, as well as other accessories to further expand the features, versatility and convenience of our camera.

1080p Action Sports Camera.  We introduced our initial entry into the action sports camera market in November 2015. Our 1080p action camera is easy handling with sharing options that ensure high-quality images, long battery life and expandable memory storage. The camera comes in a small, easy-to-use form factor housing with dimensions of 2 5/16” W by 1¾” H, weighing 2.5 pounds with the battery installed and featuring a 2” LCD display and a 32GB Sport Series SDXC Card. The 1080p camera is a fixed-lens camera with a 5 mega pixel sensor, a 140 degree viewing angle, and provides video recording at 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second and 12 mega pixel photos. This camera can be used in time lapse mode and is wi-fi enabled. The camera is contained in a removable polycarbonate floating water proof housing with a glass lens that is rated shockproof and waterproof to 100 feet. Our 1080p camera features a quick-release buckle and threads at the bottom to attach to all our offered mounts. In addition, we have priced our 1080p camera on an “all included basis” at $149, which we believe makes it extremely price competitive with other entries in the action camera market. This camera is currently offered under the name “Villain” but will be renamed as Monster Vision 1080p when our current packaged inventory sells through. For information concerning certain patent infringement claims surrounding our 1080p action sports camera, see “— Litigation.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Monster Vision 360 Action Sports Camera.  We introduced our Monster Vision 360 action sports camera in March 2016. The Monster 360 Vision is a shockproof and waterproof 360-degree action camera designed for action enthusiasts. The Vision features a 190 degree wide angle lens and can record, playback and share 360 degree videos up to 30 frames per second. A user can control the camera via Bluetooth with his or her smartphone or tablet and can connect to a user’s WiFi router or function as a standalone WiFi access point to stream and control the camera. The included USB 3.0 cable allows a user the ability to transfer videos and photos with the high speed USB 3.0 protocol. The Micro SD memory slot and included 32GB Micro SD card enables a user to add and upgrade memory as needed. The Vision 360 features electronic vibration reduction, enabled through applications during playback, that reduces the effect of camera shake to help produce sharp and crisp picture quality. Also, the Vision is designed to be used with existing virtual reality headsets currently provided by others. We have priced the Monster 360 Vision on an “all included basis” at $329, which we believe makes the Vision extremely price competitive with other 360-degree entries in the 360-degree action camera market.

Monster Vision HD Action Sports Camera.  We introduced our Monster Vision HD action sports camera in May 2016. This 720p action sports camera is meant as an entry level action camera built for simplicity and fun and designed for use in outdoor sports as well as for tourism, action shooting and daily life recording. Featuring a 1.7” color display and a 120 degree viewing angle, users can see what they are shooting, digitally

TABLE OF CONTENTS

zoom to up to 8x and use over 20 on-board visual effects to get creative. In addition to video recording it is a 5 megapixel digital camera with the ability to take individual still shots or take a burst of 3 shots in rapid succession. Like our 1080p action sports camera, the camera is a fixed-lens camera that comes in a small, easy-to-use form factor housing with the battery installed. This camera can be used in time lapse mode, is wi-fi enabled and is offered with a 16GB Sport Series SDXC card. And like our 1080p action sports camera, the camera is contained in a removable polycarbonate floating water proof housing with a glass lens that is rated shockproof and waterproof to 100 feet. We have priced our Monster Vision HD on an “all included basis” at $79, which we believe makes it extremely price competitive with other entry level action sports camera offerings.

*Note: Our initial offering of action sports cameras was only recently introduced in November 2015 and thus we have not recognized significant revenues from the sale of this product nor have any sales of action sports cameras positively impacted our current financial results in any material way.

Data Storage Devices

Market

Data storage devices are used in computers and portable electronic products that require additional data storage capacity to function at optimal levels. Unit sales within the electronic data storage industry have continued to grow. According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. worldwide flash memory product sales of SD cards are estimated to reach $21.3 billion by 2018. According to IHS iSuppli, global SSD sales are projected to reach 189.6 million units by 2017.

We believe the following factors continue to drive the unit growth of flash memory data storage device sales:

According to Great American Group, storage purchases have been moving from traditional, mechanical storage formats to flash-based technologies in recent years, and flash-based SSD formats are expected to completely replace magnetic hard drives in the next five years, as SSD technology can access memory significantly faster than traditional magnetic drives. We believe that the demand for SSDs will also grow due

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to growing requirements for increasing performance, small size, and low power consumption, as well as increasing demand for such devices in emerging countries.

Our primary end markets for our memory storage products are as follows:

Consumer.  We provide flash memory storage products to multiple consumer markets, including imaging, gaming, audio/video and mobile applications. Flash storage cards are used as the film for all major brands of digital cameras. In addition, many portable game devices include advanced features that require high capacity memory storage. Also, multimedia features and download applications in mobile phones drive demand for additional flash memory storage.

Computing.  We provide data storage solutions for the computing market. CF and SD card and USB flash drive flash memory allows consumers to store pictures and music on cards and then quickly and easily transfer these files to and between laptops, notebooks, desktops, and other devices. In addition, we sell SSDs for the computing market. We plan to continue to develop new releases of our SSDs for the notebook and desktop computer markets as we believe that SSDs are increasingly likely to replace HDDs in a variety of computing solutions.

We believe our focus allows us to:

Monster Apple iPhone/iPad External Memory Drive

We offer a family of ultra-small mobile external memory drive products for Apple iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod) under the iX32 and Memory Cable trade names.

We offer an iX32 flash drive which contains a memory module (16GB up to 128GB) with a Lightning connector and a USB connector. Lightning is a proprietary computer bus and power connector created by Apple Inc. and is used to connect Apple mobile devices like iPhones, iPads and iPods to host computers, external monitors, cameras, USB battery chargers and other peripherals. Through the USB port, the user can plug his/her Apple device to any computer to store data/media and take it for future use. Through the Lightning connector, the user can download data from selected Apple iOS devices onto the drive and then transfer the data to another iOS device or to a device with a USB port ( such as a TV or a computer). As a result, the user creates“freed” up space on his/her Apple device by directly copying content off the device

TABLE OF CONTENTS

instead of having to move the content by sending it to iCloud or other remote cloud storage destinations. It is also helpful if a user wants to consume large megabyte data, such as a movie, and does not want to store that content on his/her iOS device which would further diminish the available memory. In such an instance the“movie” can be loaded onto the drive and then watched from the drive when it is plugged into the iOS device.

The device also allows backup of photos, contacts, documents and videos, access to Dropbox, internal App storage and is security protected with optional password/fingerprint protection. In the case of the Memory Cable, it also serves as a charging cable if needed for the iOS device.

On-The-Go Cloud

Our On-The-Go Cloud device, which we market on an exclusive basis, is an innovative multi-function wireless media access hub. This device allows a user to create a wi-fi hot spot for multiple users, share photos and videos with friends and stream movies while on the road or in the air to any wi-fi enabled device. This lightweight, smartphone-sized device is equipped with dedicated ports for SD and microSD cards up to 64GB, as well as standard-size USB flash drives or external hard drives up to 2TB. A Micro USB cable is used for connectivity and charging the onboard battery which can last five hours on a single charge while streaming videos. When a PC or Mac is connected via the micro USB cable, it acts as a reader and hub, simultaneously giving access to memory cards and/or a storage device plugged into the USB port. Not only can data be viewed or played, it can be transferred among the connected storage. For example, an HD movie file from an SD card can be copied to an external hard drive.

The same functionality above can also be done wirelessly. The device has 2.4GHz (b/g/n) encrypted Wi-Fi capability, which gives cable-free connectivity to PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones. Files can be accessed via any web browser and by wireless enumeration, in which it operates as a network drive. With a streaming capacity of up to five devices at 720p (three devices at 1080p) and unlimited direct access, it’s ideal for sharing media. The device also has an Ethernet port allowing it to act as a wi-fi hotspot. The device comes with a travel bag and micro USB cable and is priced under $100.

SSDs

SSDs are data storage devices that utilize solid-state memory to store persistent data. SSDs contain no moving parts and use microchips that retain data in non-volatile memory chips, meaning they retain their memory when the power is turned off. SSDs have the same interface as hard disk drives (“HDDs”) and easily replace them in most applications. SSDs are used in consumer electronic products which are primarily designed for small form factor, battery powered consumer hand held devices, such as laptop computers and tablets.

Our drives are used for laptop, notebook, desktop and enterprise server applications. These drives feature enhanced reliability, higher performance and reduced power consumption compared to typical HHDs and are more than twice as fast as many other SSD drives.

Overdrive 3.0 SSD and Overdrive 3.0 Mini.  Our Overdrive 3.0 Series of SSDs is designed for consumer applications that require high-performance and endurance with easy plug and play compatibility. The drives are USB powered making them energy efficient with no external power switch required. Our Overdrive 3.0 and Overdrive 3.0 Minis are USB 2.0 compatible as well. Its robust construction is designed to survive impact up to 500g and resistant to magnetic interference and extreme temperatures. The drives have a laser extended stainless steel enclosure with a small form factor that travels easily.

This family of SSDs is available in densities of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, and 1 Terra Byte (“TB”) with 250/150 Megabytes (“MB”) sequential read/write speeds. Prices for our Overdrive 3.0 SSDs range from $99 to $700.

Overdrive Thunderbolt SSD.

Our Overdrive Thunderbolt SSD series incorporates Intel’s Thunderbolt technology that simultaneously supports high resolution displays and high performance data devices through a single compact port. With read/write speeds of 500/450 MB/s, our Overdrive Thunderbolt is substantially faster than many other commercially offered Thunderbolt connected drives. Our drive features an integrated 250mm Thunderbolt

Secure Digital Cards

SD cards are removable flash memory products. SD cards are used in many consumer electronic devices and have become a widespread means of storing several gigabytes (“GB”) of data in a smaller site. Devices where the user may remove and replace cards often, such as laptop or notebook computers, digital cameras, camcorders and video game consoles tend to use full-sized cards. Devices where small size is paramount, such as action sports cameras and mobile phones, tend to use microSD cards.

We offer a variety of SD cards with a range of speeds, capacities and value-added features in all major media formats.

Sport Series SDXC.  Our line of Secure Digital eXtreme Capacity, or SDXC, cards is tailored for those users seeking the highest standards in memory card technology. These products have the highest speed rating in our SD product line and are targeted at users of action sports cameras, professional photographers and high-end gamers.

Storage densities include 64GB and 128GB offered at $120 and $200 respectively.

Legacy Series SDHC Card.  Our line of Secure Digital High Capacity, or SDHC, cards are specially designed for personal electronics applications. Our SDHC cards include 8GB, 16GB and 32GB storage densities; they also support the UHS104 (ultra-high speed) SD interface and are compliant with the industry standard SD Memory Card Standard Version 3.0 (SD 3.0) which supports SD interface speeds up to 104MB per second. Prices range from $19 to $40.

USB Flash Drives

USB flash drives are small portable data storage devices that include flash memory. The integrated universal serial bus (“USB”) interface plug into a computer’s USB port and function as portable hard drives. USB flash

TABLE OF CONTENTS

drives have less storage capacity than an external hard drive, but they are smaller and more durable because they do not contain any internal moving parts. They are often used for storage, back-up and transfer of computer files, thus facilitating data transfers between different devices.

We offer a wide selection of customized USB flash drives in different memory capacities and with a wide variety of features.

COPPA 3.0 and 2.0.  Our Coppa 3.0 and 2.0 USB flash drives are lightweight, compact and have high quality memory. The COPPA 3.0 USB has speed up to 160/45 MB/s read/write and the COPPA 3.0 USB has 32/28 MB/s read/write, each allowing users to quickly and easily transfer large documents, HD movies, high resolution photographs and other large memory use data. The COPPA 3.0 is backwards compatible with the USB 2.0 allowing use with devices that are not 3.0 enabled.

The drives come with an integrated twist cover, a lanyard key chain loop and are offered in configurations of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB at prices ranging from $9 to $100.

Advanced 3.0 OTG.  Our advanced 3.0 OTG USB flash drives allow users the ability to easily backup and transfer files from a place without a computer, cable or wifi. Files can be transferred directly without sending information through the drive or on an unsecured wireless network. The drive has similar features to our COPPA 3.0 USB drives and can be used with our proprietary On-The-Go Cloud Storage device. The Advanced 3.0 OTG is offered in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB configurations at prices ranging from $24 to $75.

Manufacturing and Product Development

Manufacturing

We do not directly manufacture any of the products we sell. Instead, we depend exclusively on third parties for the manufacture and sourcing of our products. Reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers exposes us to material risks, especially as our action sports cameras and iX32 flash drive are currently sourced from sole source suppliers. See “Risk Factors — We depend exclusively on third parties to manufacture and supply our products. If third party manufacturers are unable to timely deliver required quantities of our products at acceptable qualities and prices, we will not be able to meet customer demand for our products, which would adversely impact the success of our business.” However, we believe that by outsourcing the manufacture and sourcing of these products, we benefit from lower manufacturing and engineering costs. For this reason, for the foreseeable future we expect to continue to rely on third party manufacturers and suppliers to produce and supply the substantial majority of our products.

We do not have long-term agreements with any of our third party suppliers or manufacturers for our primary memory products or our iX32 flash drive. We currently source our current action sports camera offerings and iX32 flash drive from sole source suppliers and while we believe there is an alternative supplier available for our iX32 flash drive we do not currently have an alternative supplier for our action sports cameras. We obtain our action sports cameras further to a formal agreement with Shuoying Digital Science & Technology (China) Co., Ltd. that expires in January 2017 but automatically renews for successive 12 months periods unless sooner terminated by either party with six months prior written notice. We believe it may be more difficult to find alternative sources for our action sports cameras if necessary. We intend to endeavor to locate alternative sources for our action sports cameras to mitigate risks related to reliance on this sole source supplier.

We seek to differentiate our products through product features offered, product positioning, packaging, merchandising and branding. By continuing to subcontract manufacture and source our products from third parties, we believe that we are able to sell products incorporating new technology without having to make the substantial investment in, or having to incur the fixed costs associated with, product development and manufacturing.

Our in-house testing and production staff in Simi Valley, California regularly inspects and tests product samples, assembles pilot production runs and repackages bulk quantities received from our subcontract manufacturers and suppliers. We also develop user manuals, product packaging and marketing materials, as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

well as installation guides, software and hardware designed to permit user friendly product installation. Our staff periodically tours our subcontract manufacturers’ and suppliers’ facilities and monitors and tests to minimize defective products.

The majority of our products are shipped directly by our subcontractor manufacturers and suppliers to our facility in Simi Valley, California. These products are then packaged and shipped by us directly to our customers.

Product development

To date, we have not made material expenditures on product development. However, we realize that to compete in this industry, we must continue to offer technologically advanced products. New products are developed and offered by our subcontractors, manufacturers and suppliers and then offered by us. We believe our relationship with our contract manufacturers and suppliers allows us to enhance and expand our product offerings with existing and new technologies that such third parties develop internally and avoid the costs associated with an in-house research and development team. Our efforts are directed at the evaluation of new products and enhancements to existing products. We monitor market and industry trends to understand and identify new technologies and plan for new product offerings.

We intend to continue to devote efforts to introduce new products that meet emerging demands and preferences, including new versions of our existing product lines. Specifically, we plan to continue to penetrate the global action camera market, while identifying additional consumer electronic products to be introduced based on leading technologies. For example, we are currently in preliminary discussions for the manufacture and sourcing of the following products which we currently expect may be introduced within the next three to nine months:

Sales and Marketing

Sales

We sell our products primarily through distributors and independent sales representatives and distributors.

Distributors.  We use distributors to sell our products to non-direct customers such as small computer manufacturers, dealers, systems integrators, online retailers and other resellers. Distributors generally enter into non-exclusive agreements with us for the purchase and redistribution of our products in specific territories.

Retailers.  We sell our branded devices directly to a select group of major retailers such as computer superstores, warehouse clubs, online retailers, and computer electronics stores, and authorize sales through distributors to smaller retailers. The retail channel complements our other sales channels while helping to build brand awareness for our products. We also offer our branded products through our website.

Although we have established a substantial domestic distribution channel for our memory products bearing the Monster brand, we believe it is necessary to substantially expand our distribution channels with respect to sales of our higher margin specialty products. Our executive sales team has recently established domestic distribution arrangements for our actions sports cameras with major entities such as Fry’s, Sam’s Club and Toys R’ Us. We also believe that international markets represent a significant growth opportunity for us. Our executive sales team seeks to enhance our international presence by capitalizing on the strength of the Monster Digital brand. Examples of recently added international retailers and strategic distribution arrangements include Synchro France, ADL, Selfridges and FNAC.

We protect some of our customers against the effects of price decreases on their inventories. Accordingly, if we reduce our prices, we pay certain distributors and retailers the difference between the price paid for the product still in their inventory and the reduced price. Additionally, some of our retail customers and distributors have the right to return limited amounts of products still in their inventory for credit.

Marketing

We believe our marketing relationships with key industry leaders distinguishes our company from others in our industry. Our Overdrive 3.0 SSD and Overdrive Thunderbolt SSD, each with a 1TB configuration, are currently offered in all Apple stores throughout Europe. Our Advanced 3.0 OTG USB flash drive is the first Apple certified external memory of iOS.

Also, our products are offered and supported by Monster, Inc.’s large global and retail distribution network.

Further to the license with Monster, Inc., our company and Monster, Inc. consult and cooperate with each other in the design process of products sold under the Monster Digital brand name. Also, the license provides that our company and Monster, Inc. will cooperate to promote and effect the offer and marketing of products sold under the Monster Digital brand name through Monster, Inc.’s existing and future sales and distribution channels.

To date, Monster, Inc. sales team has introduced our Monster Digital memory products to many of their key distributors and retail chains and has indicated that it intends to continue to do so in the future. We believe that approximately 33% of our gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were derived from Monster, Inc.’s introductions to buyers and retailers. Monster, Inc. has existing relationships with virtually all major retail chains and strategic distributors across North America, Latin America and Europe.

In addition, Monster, Inc. has a global network of independent sales representatives established which affords us the ability to access additional sales coverage and to take advantage of established local market relationships. To ensure the quality of its sales forces, our products are incorporated into Monster, Inc.’s internal sales metrics that measure sales performance for all sales people, independent sales representatives and customers.

We participate in co-sponsored events with our customers and industry trade shows such as Consumer Electronics Show. We participate in these events and trade shows in order to develop new relationships with potential customers and maintain relationships with our existing customers. We also intend to fund cooperative advertising campaigns with our customers, develop custom product promotions and cooperate with our retailers to use point-of-sale and mail-in rebate promotions to increase sales of our products. We also intend to utilize sales circulars to obtain regional and national exposure for our products and our brands. We believe

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that these marketing efforts will help generate additional shelf-space for our products with our major retailers, promote retail traffic and sales of our products, and enhance our goodwill with these retailers.

Monster License Agreement

We entered into a trademark license agreement with Monster, Inc. effective July 7, 2010. The agreement gives us exclusive rights to utilize the tradenames “Monster Memory”, “Monster Digital, Inc.” and the M (stylized) mark on (i) action sports cameras, (ii) cable memory, (iii) flash based cards, (iv) flash based SSD drive products, (v) DRAM modules, (vi) USB flash drives and (vii) internal power supplies for personal computers. The 25 year agreement provides for the payment of royalties to Monster, Inc. on all sales of the referenced products, excluding sales to Monster, Inc., as follows:

Years 1 (2012) and 2: Royalties on all sales excluding sales to Monster, Inc. at a rate of four (4) percent, with no minimum.

Years 3 through 6: Minimum royalty payments of $50,000 per quarter up to a maximum of four (4) percent of all sales excluding sales to Monster, Inc.

Years 7 through 10: Minimum royalty payments of $125,000 per quarter up to a maximum of four (4) percent of all sales excluding sales to Monster, Inc.

Years 11 through 15: Minimum royalty payments of $187,500 per quarter up to a maximum of four (4) percent of all sales excluding sales to Monster, Inc.

Years 16 through 25: Minimum royalty payments of $250,000 per quarter up to a maximum of four (4) percent of all sales excluding sales to Monster, Inc.

At any time during the term of the agreement, a permanent license may be negotiated subject to the parties reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.

Effective July 1, 2014, the royalty rate on certain products was reduced to 2% for a period of 12 months.

Monster, Inc. may purchase licensed products from us at a price no greater than 20% above our standard costs. Monster, Inc. has agreed not to sell products sourced from us in a way that undermines our position in the marketplace. We have agreed that all design, packaging and marketing materials for any licensed products would be in accordance with and conform to design standards prescribed by Monster, Inc. Monster, Inc. and our company have agreed to cooperate to promote and affect the offer and marketing of the licensed products through Monster Inc.’s existing and future sales and distribution channels.

Monster, Inc. may use and grant others the right to use any trademarks, logos, domain names and/or trademarks for use in connection any products except (i) the granting to others of the use of the Monster mark in connection with the manufacture, design, distribution, sales or other similar exploitation of any licensed Monster mark (but not the Monster Digital mark or the M (stylized) mark) if the primary purpose of such license is the settlement of a claim of infringement of the Monster mark with that of the subject licensee and not the commercial exploitations of the Monster Mark and (ii) Monster, Inc. itself may use (but not sublicense) the Monster mark and the M (stylized) mark (but not the Monster Digital mark) in connection with any licensed products or other data memory products subject to the condition that Monster, Inc. provides us with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to so enter the market and offers us the first right to supply such products pursuant to a commercially reasonable arrangement similar to the Monster License Agreement.

In August 2015, we executed an amendment to the license agreement with Monster whereby Monster granted us the additional right further to the aforementioned License Agreement to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name. Further to the amendment, in addition to the royalties mentioned above, we issued Monster, Inc. 382,575 shares of our common stock and will pay Monster a cash fee of $500,000 payable in four quarterly installments of $125,000 commencing October 1, 2015 and ending July 1, 2016 provided that upon the effective date of this offering, the remaining balance will be paid in full. In November 2015, Monster, Inc. agreed to modify payment terms of the initial $125,000 payment to five weekly installments of $25,000 payable in December 2015, all of which have been paid. However, sum of $375,000 sum continues to be delinquent.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are required to remit royalty payments to Monster, Inc. on or before the 30^th day following the end of each calendar quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, royalty expense amounted to $262,000 and $572,000, respectively. We were not in compliance with the royalty remittance policy for each of the aforementioned fiscal periods nor with the installment payment terms of the aforementioned $500,000 payment. This license agreement contains various termination clauses that include (i) change in control, (ii) breach of contract and (iii) insolvency, among others. Either party to the license agreement has the right to terminate the agreement if the other is in material breach of any of the terms and conditions of the agreement and such party fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the date of receipt of written notice from the other party.

Further to the Monster License Agreement, in the event we do not effect an initial public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market on or before August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. shall have the option to immediately terminate the license grant allowing us to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name in which case (i) we must cease all use of the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our operating, corporate, business or company name and (ii) Monster, Inc. shall return to us for cancellation all of the 382,575 shares of our common stock issued to it. At any time prior to the earlier of our initial public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market or August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. may agree to retain the aforementioned 382,575 shares and forfeit its ability to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence. By means of a separate acknowledgement, Monster, Inc. acknowledged that our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market will suffice for purposes of the Monster License Agreement.

In addition, in August 2015, and in connection with the aforementioned amendment to the trademark license agreement, we entered into a two-year advisory board agreement with Noel Lee, the Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder of Monster, Inc. Further to the advisory board agreement, we issued Mr. Lee a warrant to purchase up to 191,289 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $14.85.

Warranties

Because the design and manufacturing process for our products is highly complex, it is possible that our products may contain defects or are otherwise not compatible with end uses. In accordance with industry practice, we generally provide a limited warranty that our products are in compliance with our specifications existing at the time of delivery. Under our general terms and conditions of sale, liability for certain failures of products during a stated warranty period is usually limited to repair or replacement of defective items or return of, or a credit with respect to, amounts paid for such items. Under certain circumstances, we may provide more extensive limited warranty coverage than that provided under our general terms and conditions.

Backlog

Because of volatile conditions in our markets, customers are reluctant to enter into long-term, fixed-price contracts. Accordingly, new order volumes for our products do and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly. We typically accept orders with acknowledgment that the terms may be adjusted to reflect market conditions at the date of shipment. For these reasons, we do not believe that our order backlog as of any particular date is a reliable indicator of actual sales for any succeeding period.

Competition

Our industry is characterized by intense competition, supply shortages or oversupply, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, declining average selling prices and rapid product obsolescence.

Competition is based on multitude of factors, including product design, brand strength, distribution presence and capability, channel knowledge and expertise, geographic availability, breadth of product line, product cost, media capacity, access speed and performance, durability, reliability, scalability and compatibility. Specifically, the performance, functionality, reliability and price of our products are critical elements of our ability to compete. We believe that we offer, and that our target consumers seek products that combine higher levels of performance, functionality and reliability at prices competitive with other leading brand-name products. Also, market penetration, brand recognition and inventory management are also critical elements of our ability to compete. Most consumers purchase products similar to ours from off-the-shelf retailers such as large consumer

TABLE OF CONTENTS

electronics and office supply superstores. Market penetration in the industries in which we compete is typically based on the number of retailers who offer a company’s products and the amount of shelf-space allocated to those products.

Our existing competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have longer operating histories and have greater brand name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, broader product lines and longer standing relationships with retailers, distributors, OEMs and end users. As a result, these competitors may be able to better absorb price declines, ensure more stable supply, adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we may. Ultimately, this may lead to a decrease in our sales and market share and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We expect to face competition from existing or future competitors that design and market similar or alternative data storage solutions that may be less costly or provide additional features. If a manufacturer of consumer electronic devices designs one of these alternative competing standards into its products, the digital media we sell, as currently configured, will not be compatible with that product and our revenues may decline, which would result in a material adverse effect on or business.

Our competition includes:

Action sports cameras.  The market for action sports cameras is highly competitive. Further, we expect competition to intensify in the future as existing competitors introduce new and more competitive offerings alongside their existing products, and as new market entrants introduce new products into this market. We compete against established, well-known action camera and traditional camera manufacturers such as GoPro, Inc., Canon Inc., Nikon Corporation, Olympus Corporation, Polaroid Holding Corporation and Vivitar Corporation, large, diversified electronics companies such as JVC Kenwood Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Corporation and Toshiba Corporation, and specialty companies such as Garmin Ltd. Most of these competitors have substantial market share, diversified product lines, well-established supply and distribution systems, strong worldwide brand recognition and greater financial, marketing, research and development and other resources than we do. In addition, many of these existing and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as:

Moreover, smartphones and tablets with photo and video functionality have significantly displaced the market for traditional camera sales. It is possible that, in the future, the manufacturers of these devices, such as Apple Inc. and Samsung, may design them for use in a range of conditions, including challenging physical environments, or develop products similar to our action sport camera. In addition to competition or potential competition from large, established companies, new companies may emerge and offer competitive products.

Solid-state drive and hard disk drive manufacturers.  Our SSDs face competition from other manufacturers, including Intel, Micron and Samsung, Toshiba, and others. Our SSDs also face competition from hard disks drives, which are offered by companies including, among others, Seagate, Samsung and Western Digital Corporation.

CF and SD card and USB flash drive manufacturers and resellers.  We compete with semiconductor companies that manufacture and sell flash memory chips, flash memory cards and USB flash drives. These include Hynix, Infineon, Micron, Samsung, SanDisk, and Toshiba. We also face significant competition from

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacturers or card assemblers and resellers that either resell flash cards and USB flash drives purchased from others or assemble cards and USB flash drives from controllers and flash memory chips purchased from companies such as Renesas, Samsung or Toshiba, into flash cards and USB flash drives. These companies include Crucial, Dane-Elec, Delkin Devices, Feiya, Fuji, Hagiwara, Hama, Hewlett Packard, Data I/O, Infineon, Kingston, Kodak, M-Systems, Matsushita, Memorex, Memory Plus, Micron, PNY, PQI, Pretec, Ritek, Samsung, SanDisk, Silicon Storage Technology, SimpleTech, SMART Modular Technologies, Sony, TDK, Transcend and Viking InterWorks.

Employees

As of March 31, 2016 we had 20 full-time employees. In addition to our full-time employees, we employ temporary and part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreements. We have never experienced a work stoppage at any of our facilities. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Facilities

We lease approximately 11,500 square feet for our executive offices in Simi Valley, CA pursuant to a three year lease at a monthly rental rate of $10,500. We believe these facilities are sufficient for our currently foreseeable needs.

Litigation

On March 9, 2015, Memphis Electronics, Inc. filed a complaint against SDJ and our company, case no. 4:15-cv-1104; in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The complaint alleged breach of contract and tort for an alleged order or orders for computer components. Plaintiff’s claims are based in contract and tort (negligent and intentional misrepresentations) relating to nonpayment of approximately $275,000 for goods ordered. On June 8, 2016, the parties mediated this dispute in Houston, Texas. Although the parties have not yet signed a settlement agreement, it appears probable that the parties will soon sign a settlement agreement that includes the following basic terms: (i) we will agree to pay $170,000 to the plaintiff by August 1, 2016, (ii) the plaintiff will transfer to us ownership of the components that were in dispute, (iii) the parties will mutually release each other from all claims that were filed or that could have been filed in this litigation and (iv) if we fail to pay the $170,000 by August 1, 2016, the plaintiff will have an agreed judgment against us for $250,000. If we pay $170,000 by August 1, 2016, then there is no judgment against us, and the lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice. Unless and until a settlement agreement is reached, the case remains scheduled for trial in October 2016.

On August 18, 2015, Phison Electronics Corp., or Phison, filed a complaint against SDJ, case no. 115 CV284516, in California Superior Court in Santa Clara County. The complaint alleged breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing resulting in claimed damages of approximately $585,000 in connection with SDJ’s alleged failure to purchase products manufactured on its account by Phison Electronics Corp. While the complaint has been filed, Phison has not yet served it. For this reason, no further action has occurred or has been taken on this matter since the date of filing of the complaint. SDJ believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

On August 28, 2015, Unigen Corporation, or Unigen, filed a complaint against SDJ, case no. HG15-78385, in California Superior Court in Alameda County. The complaint alleged breach of contract for an alleged order or orders for 219,200 specially constructed computer components. The complaint seeks $180,000 in lost profit; $678,669 for the cost of parts ordered; and $35,000 in incidental expenses. In February 2016 we met with Unigen in an attempt to mediate the matter. However, the mediation was not successful. A case management conference is scheduled for mid-July 2016; no trial date has been set. We believe the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

On February 16, 2016 we received a letter from GoPro, Inc., or GoPro, alleging that we infringe on at least five U.S. patents held by GoPro, and requesting that confirm in writing that we will permanently cease the sale and distribution of our 1080p action sports camera, along with any camera accessories, including the waterproof camera case and standard housing. The five patents specifically identified by GoPro in the letter were U.S. Patent No. D710,921: camera housing design, U.S. Patent No. D702,747: camera housing design,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. Patent No. D740,875: camera housing design, U.S. Patent No. D737,879: camera design and U.S. Patent No. 721,935: camera design. Based upon our preliminary review of these patents, we believe we have some defenses to GoPro’s allegations. Our outside counsel has been in discussions with GoPro’s outside counsel and has forwarded them material which we believe supports defenses to these allegations, all in an effort to move the matter to resolution. But as of yet, there is no final resolution to this matter. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these allegations or reaching a business resolution that is satisfactory to us.

The supplier of our action sports cameras has contractually represented and warranted that it owns or has paid royalties to any and all intellectual property, designs, software, hardware, packaging, components, manuals and any other portion, part or element that is or may be subject to such products and the parts and accessories thereof sourced by the supplier. This supplier has contractually agreed to pay any claims, damages, or costs that we suffer as a result of the patent infringement or a violation of international, U.S. or state laws or regulations as detailed in the prior sentence.

Other than the foregoing, we are not party to any material pending or threatened litigation.

Director Independence

Accordingly, prior to the effective date of this offering, a majority of our directors will be independent, as required under applicable Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, our board of directors will consider the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company, if any, and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, if any, by each non-employee director.

Each member of our audit committee is a person who our board of directors has determined has the requisite financial expertise required under the applicable requirements of Nasdaq. In arriving at this determination, the board will examine each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance sector. The primary functions of this committee will include:

Advisory Board

We have created an advisory board to provide us with advice and assistance on various matters regarding unmet industry needs and opportunities, customer feedback on existing products, proposed product offerings and assessment of other strategic corporate matters. None of the members of all advisory board can be an officer or employee of our company and we seek to have members which are opinion leaders in their respective fields.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan

We have adopted a 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). An aggregate of 910,766 shares of our common stock is reserved for issuance and available for awards under the Plan, including incentive stock options granted under the Plan. The Plan administrator may grant awards to any employee, director, consultant or other person providing services to us or our affiliates. As of June 23, 2016, options to acquire an aggregate of 71,040 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $31.92 have been granted under the Plan. In addition, restricted stock grants of 13,467 and 33,668 have been made under the Plan to David Clarke, our Chief Executive Officer and to Neal Bobrick, our Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, respectively. Options to acquire approximately 150,000 shares at an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this offering and approximately 250,000 shares of restricted stock will be issued and granted at the effective date of this offering.

The Plan shall be initially administered by the Board. The Plan administrator has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the nature, amount and terms of such awards and the objectives and conditions for earning such awards. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no such action may be taken that adversely affects any rights or obligations with respect to any awards previously made under the Plan without the consent of the recipient. No awards may be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of its effective date.

Awards under the Plan may include incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock Units, performance share or Unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards.

Stock Options.  The Plan administrator may grant to a participant options to purchase our common stock that qualify as incentive stock options for purposes of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“incentive stock options”), options that do not qualify as incentive stock options (“non-qualified stock options”) or a combination thereof. The terms and conditions of stock option grants, including the quantity, price, vesting periods, and other conditions on exercise will be determined by the Plan administrator. The exercise price for stock options will be determined by the Plan administrator in its discretion, but non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of our company’s common stock on the date when the stock option is granted. Additionally, in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Stock options must be exercised within a period fixed by the Plan administrator that may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, except that in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise period may not exceed five years. At the Plan administrator’s discretion, payment for shares of common stock on the exercise of stock options may be made in cash, shares of our common stock held by the participant or in any other form of consideration acceptable to the Plan administrator (including one or more forms of “cashless” or “net” exercise).

Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Plan administrator may grant to a participant an award of SARs, which entitles the participant to receive, upon its exercise, a payment equal to (i) the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date over the SAR exercise price, times (ii) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The exercise price for a SAR will be determined by the Plan administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Units.  The Plan administrator may award to a participant shares of common stock subject to specified restrictions (“restricted shares”). Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if the participant does not meet certain conditions such as continued employment over a specified forfeiture period and/or the attainment of specified performance targets over the forfeiture period. The Plan administrator also may award to a participant Units representing the right to receive shares of common stock in the future subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to the completion of service by the participant and/or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the achievement of performance or other objectives (“restricted Units”). The terms and conditions of restricted share and restricted Unit awards are determined by the Plan administrator.

Performance Awards.  The Plan administrator may grant performance awards to participants under such terms and conditions as the Plan administrator deems appropriate. A performance award entitles a participant to receive a payment from us, the amount of which is based upon the attainment of predetermined performance targets over a specified award period. Performance awards may be paid in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Plan administrator.

Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Plan administrator may grant equity-based or equity-related awards, referred to as “other stock-based awards,” other than options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted Units, or performance awards. The terms and conditions of each other stock-based award will be determined by the Plan administrator. Payment under any other stock-based awards will be made in common stock or cash, as determined by the Plan administrator.

Cash-Based Awards.  The Plan administrator may grant cash-based incentive compensation awards, which would include performance-based annual cash incentive compensation to be paid to covered employees subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. The terms and conditions of each cash-based award will be determined by the Plan administrator.

Dividend Equivalents.  The Plan administrator may provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any shares of common stock subject to an award under the Plan.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. However, Delaware law prohibits our amended and restated certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. It also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our Bylaws, we are also empowered to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and other agents and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.

In addition to the indemnification required in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of such persons for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were serving in such capacity. We believe that these Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors, officers and employees. Furthermore, we have obtained director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us and expect to increase the level upon completion of this offering.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to our 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. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The following is a description of transactions since May 2012, to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our executive officers, directors, promoters or holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation, termination and change in control arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation”. Jawahar Tandon, our founder, former Executive Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer, may be deemed to be a promoter within the meaning of SEC rules under the Securities Act. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions with unrelated third parties.

Related Party Loans

From time to time since inception, we have obtained certain related party loans from and advances Tandon Enterprises, Inc. a company controlled and owned by Jawahar Tandon, a director and our former Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Devinder Tandon, a former director.

However, as of June 22, 2016, we were indebted to Tandon Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $346,100. The loans and advances were non-interest bearing and had no maturity date. Tandon Enterprises, Inc. has agreed to convert all outstanding net amounts lent and advanced to our company into shares of common stock and warrants immediately prior to consummation of this offering at the initial public offering price of the shares of common stock offered by means of this prospectus.

Clarke, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our principal stockholders, has agreed that a $100,000 promissory note owed to him by our company made in September 2015, which note bears interest at 5% per annum, plus any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, as well as an aggregate of approximately $50,000 owed to Mr. Clarke under his prior consulting arrangement with our company, the total amounts owing to Clarke known as the Clarke Obligation, will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into a number of shares of common stock and warrants equal to the principal amount of the Clarke Obligation divided by the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus offered by means of this prospectus. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the Clarke Obligation will convert into approximately 31,579 shares of common stock and 31,579 warrants.

Arrangements with Tandon Enterprises, Inc.

Further to a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement entered into in May 2012, Tandon Enterprises, Inc. agreed not to engage in (i) the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of assembled memory modules and memory data storage products or (ii) the marketing, packaging, advertising and promotion of any of such products and services (the “Restricted Activities”). Tandon Enterprises, Inc. agreed not to enter into any agreement to license or otherwise exploit any mark using the word “Monster” or any derivation thereof for use in any of the Restricted Activities. In addition, Tandon Enterprises, Inc., agreed that it would not (i) solicit, recruit or hire any employee of our company or (ii) solicit or encourage any employee of our company to leave our employment.

Other arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, we entered an agreement whereby obligations of our company to related parties were assumed by Tandon Enterprises, Inc.. Tandon Enterprises, Inc. then forgave the assumed debt in totality. We recorded the debt forgiveness of $152,036 as a contribution to capital.

Until December 31, 2014, we sub-leased approximately 2,500 square feet from Tandon Enterprises, Inc. for our executive offices and headquarters in Simi Valley, California at a monthly rate of $2,143, which we believed was a fair rental rate for such a sub-lease.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased $110,301 of products from SMLINQ, LLC, an entity controlled by Vivek Tandon, our Executive Vice President, Operations and our former Chief Operating Officer and President.

As of August 7, 2015, Jawahar Tandon and Vivek Tandon were each indebted to our company in the amount of approximately $184,000 and $115,000, respectively. In August 2015, pursuant to an arrangement with Tandon Enterprises, Inc. we transferred these receivables to Tandon Enterprises, Inc. in consideration for an identical reduction in amounts owed by our company to Tandon Enterprises, Inc.. This terminated these loan arrangements between our company and Jawahar and Vivek Tandon. As a result, neither Jawahar nor Vivek Tandon has any outstanding amounts due to our company.

Pursuant to an arrangement with our company, 4PAC, LLC, an entity owned by Tayel Tandon, the wife of Vivek Tandon, has provided marketing services to our company commencing February 2015 at the rate of $5,000 per month, plus expenses. Further to this arrangement, we paid 4PAC, LLC an aggregate of $57,790 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Tandon Enterprises, Inc., has agreed that $346,100 owed to it by our company will automatically convert immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into a number of shares of common stock and warrants equal to the principal amount of the obligation divided by the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus. Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, said obligation will convert into approximately 72,863 shares of common stock and 72,863 warrants.

Assignment and Assumption Agreement

As referenced herein, prior to our reorganization described below under the heading “Arrangements with WestPark Capital”, SDJ was owned solely by Devinder Tandon and Jawahar Tandon, who also substantially own Tandon Enterprises, Inc. Syrma Technologies Private Ltd. (“Syrma”) is owned by Manohar Tandon, the brother of Jawahar and Devinder Tandon. Prior to the execution of the Monster License Agreement, SDJ had primarily acted as a pass-through entity for transactions between Tandon Enterprises, Inc. and Syrma. Tandon Enterprises, Inc. and Syrma sold to each other memory chips and performed value-added services related to such chips, as well as transferring and selling equipment to manufacture and test memory chips to each other using SDJ as a conduit; the primary purpose for using the conduit was to allow Syrma to comply with applicable restrictions under its bank agreements. SDJ recorded substantial accounts payable to and accounts receivable from each of Syrma and Tandon Enterprises, Inc. relating to such sales and services, as well as advances and loans between Syrma and Tandon Enterprises, Inc. using SDJ as a conduit on an as-needed basis. In addition, each of Devinder Tandon and Jawahar Tandon personally made advances and loans to SDJ on an as-needed basis for working capital purposes. Also, Tandon Enterprises, Inc. assumed certain of the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liabilities of a company owned by Vivek Tandon but recorded on SDJ’s books. No representation can be made that any of such transactions by and among SDJ, Tandon Enterprises and Syrma were conducted as an “arms-length transaction.”

In May 2012, each of SDJ, Tandon Enterprises, Inc. and Syrma entered into an Assumption of Liabilities and Assignment of Receivables Agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), effective December 31, 2011. The primary purpose of the transaction was for Syrma and Tandon Enterprises, Inc. to take onto their books those liabilities and receivables that primarily related to the transactions referenced above and have them substantially removed from the books of SDJ. This would reflect the true nature of the transactions as opposed to having the transactions reflected on the books of SDJ when it merely acted as a conduit for the referenced sales, services and advances referenced above. Accordingly, these amounts are not reflected in our audited financial statements included in this prospectus.

As a result of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the net effect was that the net amount of obligations and receivables by and among these related parties were assumed by Tandon Enterprises, Inc. Upon the execution of such agreement, we had a net liability to Tandon Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $153,798. Tandon Enterprises, Inc. then forgave the debt and we recorded the debt forgiveness as a contribution to capital.

Consulting Agreements

In May 2015, we entered into a one-year consulting agreement with David Clarke, our current Chief Executive Officer. Further to the agreement, we issued Mr. Clarke 84,170 shares of our common stock. In September 2015, Mr. Clarke became our Executive Chairman of the Board. In connection with his appointment, in October 2015 we issued him an additional 67,337 shares of our common stock. In December 2015, Mr. Clarke became our President and Chief Executive Officer and we issued him an additional 13,467 shares of our common stock in connection with his appointment. Mr. Clarke has agreed not to transfer or sell any of these shares until January 10, 2017. We also agreed to pay all of Mr. Clarke’s expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his consulting duties. Mr. Clarke has agreed to convert all unreimbursed expenses owed into shares of common stock and warrants immediately prior to the consummation of this offering at the initial public offering price of the shares offered by means of this prospectus.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we paid $10,000 a month to Vivek Tandon as consulting fees. An aggregate of $120,000 and $60,000 was paid to Mr. Tandon as a consultant for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

In May 2016, we entered into a 10 week consulting agreement with Jonathan Orban, a director nominee, which becomes effective on the effective date of the offering. The Agreement may be extended . Further to the agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Orban $250 per hour but no more than $10,000 per week. We also agreed to pay all of Mr. Orban’s expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his consulting duties in an amount not to exceed $20,000.

In June 2016, we entered into a one year consulting agreement with Jawahar Tandon, our former Chief Executive Officer, which becomes effective on the effective date of the offering. Further to the agreement, we agreed to issue Mr. Tandon 125,000 restricted shares of our common stock on the effective date of the offering. Mr. Tandon has agreed with the underwriters not to directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer (excluding intra-family transfers, transfers to a trust for estate planning purposes or to his beneficiaries upon his death), or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which may result in the disposition of any such shares without the prior written consent of Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters, for a period of twelve months after the date of this prospectus. We also agreed to pay all of Mr. Tandon’s pre-approved reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his consulting duties.

Further to the rights offering, for every $44.55 invested, the investor would receive .20 newly issued shares of our common stock and Jawahar Tandon would transfer .13 shares of common stock beneficially held by him to the investor.

An aggregate of 394,008 shares of common stock were issued by us, 157,603 shares of which represented shares which would have otherwise been transferred by Mr. Tandon and which were simultaneously cancelled by the J Tandon Irrevocable Family Trust and J Tandon Irrevocable Partnership Trust.

September 2015

Pursuant to our decision to cancel our proposed acquisition of Syrma Technologies Pvt. Ltd., in September 2015 Jawahar Tandon, our former Executive Chariman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer, and Devinder Tandon, one of our significant stockholders and a former director, offered in the aggregate to each stockholder who purchased shares of our company for cash the opportunity to receive .07 additional shares from Mssrs. Tandon’s beneficial holdings for each .41 shares purchased from our company by such stockholder (together the “Syrma Additional Shares”). As a condition to such grant, the executing stockholders agreed to release our company and WestPark Capital from any claim or cause of action that arise out of or are related in any way to the purchase or acquisition of our common stock (the “Release”). Stockholders holding an aggregate of 1,279,054 shares agreed to receive Syrma Additional Shares; an aggregate of 216,971 Additional Shares were afforded these stockholders; from each of Jawahar Tandon’s and Devinder Tandon’s beneficial holdings. Stockholders holding an aggregate of 199,248 shares purchased for cash did not agree to receive such shares and did not execute the Release. For the sake of expediency, we issued the Syrma Additional Shares directly to electing stockholders and Mssrs. Tandon cancelled in the aggregate an equivalent number of shares beneficially held by them for each Syrma Additional Share referenced further to the previous sentence.

Cancellation immediately prior to this offering

Pursuant to the Conversion, Jawahar Tandon and Devinder Tandon offered in the aggregate to each holder who agreed to convert Bridge Notes into shares of common stock and warrants or who purchased shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which automatically converts into shares of common stock and warrants, one share from Mssrs.

Arrangements with Monster, Inc. and affiliates

Monster License Agreement

We entered into a trademark license agreement with Monster, Inc. effective July 7, 2010. The agreement, as amended, gives us exclusive rights to utilize the tradenames “Monster Memory,” “Monster Digital” and the M (stylized mark on (i) action sport cameras, (ii) cable memory, (iii) flash based cards, (iv) flash based SSD drive products, (v) DRAM modules, (vi) USB flash drives and (vii) internal power supplies for personal computers.

Effective July 1, 2014, the royalty rate on certain products was reduced to 2% for a 12 month period.

At any time during the term of the agreement, a permanent license may be negotiated subject to the parties reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In August 2015, we executed a amendment the trademark license agreement with Monster whereby Monster granted us the additional right further to the aforementioned license agreement to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name. Further to the amendment, in addition to the royalties mentioned above, we issued Monster, Inc. 405,530 shares of our common stock and will pay it a cash fee of $500,000 payable in four quarterly installments of $125,000 commencing October 1, 2015 and ending July 1, 2016, provided that upon the effective date of this offering, any remaining balance will be paid in full. In November 2015, Monster, Inc. agreed to modify payment terms of the initial $125,000 payment to five weekly installments of $125,000 payable in December 2015, all of which have been paid. However, the sum of $375,000 continues to be delinquent.

We are required to remit royalty payments to Monster, Inc. on or before the 30^th day following the end of each calendar quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, royalty expense amounted to $50,000, $262,00 and $572,000, respectively. We were not in compliance with the royalty remittance policy for each of the aforementioned fiscal periods nor with the installment payment terms of the aforementioned $500,000 payment. This license agreement contains various termination clauses that include (i) change in control, (ii) breach of contract and (iii) insolvency, among others. Either party to the license agreement has the right to terminate the agreement if the other is in material breach of any of the terms and conditions of the agreement and such party fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the date of receipt of written notice from the other party.

Further to the Monster License Agreement, in the event we do not effect an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market on or before August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. shall have the option to immediately terminate the license grant allowing us to use the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our corporate name in which case (i) we must cease all use of the name “Monster Digital, Inc.” as our operating, corporate, business or company name and (ii) Monster, Inc. shall return to us for cancellation all of the 382,575 shares of our common stock issued to it. At any time prior to the earlier of our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market or August 18, 2017, Monster, Inc. may agree to retain the aforementioned 382,575 shares and forfeit its ability to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence. By means of a separate acknowledgement, Monster, Inc. acknowledged that our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market will suffice for purposes of the Monster License Agreement.

Noel Lee Advisory Board Agreement

In addition, in August 2015, and in connection with the aforementioned amendment to the trademark license agreement, we entered into an advisory board agreement with Noel Lee, the Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder of Monster, Inc. Further to the advisory board agreement, we issued Mr. Lee a warrant to purchase up to 191,289 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $14.85.

Arrangements with WestPark Capital

Reorganization

In August 2012, SDJ, the predecessor of Monster Digital, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monster Digital (formerly known as WRASP 35, Inc. which changed its name to AOTS 35, Inc., a company wholly owned by WP Financial, an affiliate of WestPark Capital) further to a share exchange agreement. In connection with this reorganization, 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of SDJ were exchanged for securities of Monster Digital. An aggregate of 1,169,068 shares of common stock was issued to the shareholders of SDJ. Prior to the closing of the reorganization, the then-controlling stockholder of Monster Digital, WP Financial, agreed to the cancellation of an aggregate of 1,234,868 shares and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,871,991 shares of common stock held by it such that there were 198,670 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 39,392 shares of common stock owned by it immediately after the reorganization.

WP Financial did not receive any consideration for the cancellation of the shares and warrants. The cancellation of the shares and warrants was accounted for as a contribution to capital. The number of shares and warrants cancelled was determined based on negotiations between WP Financial and SDJ. The parties to the transaction acknowledged that a conflict of interest existed with respect to the negotiations for the terms of the reorganization due to, among other factors, the fact that WestPark was advising SDJ in the transaction. The shareholders of SDJ negotiated an estimated value of SDJ and its subsidiaries and an estimated value of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Monster Digital (based on the mutually desired capitalization of the company resulting from the reorganization) which therefore determined the capitalization of Monster Digital following the reorganization.

In addition, we paid a $155,000 success fee to WestPark for services being provided in connection with the reorganization, including coordinating the reorganization process, interacting with the principals of Monster Digital pre-reorganization and negotiating the definitive agreement for the reorganization of SDJ with Monster Digital, conducting a financial analysis of SDJ, conducting due diligence on SDJ and managing the interrelationship of legal and accounting activities. We also paid a $95,000 fee to WestPark for providing the use of Monster Digital for the reorganization.

Richard Rappaport, the former President of each of AOTS 35, Inc. (renamed Monster Digital, Inc.) and its indirect controlling stockholder through his control of WP Financial prior to the reorganization, indirectly holds a 100% interest in WestPark, an underwriter for this offering, due to the fact that he is the sole owner of the membership interests of the parent company of WestPark. Neither Mr. Rappaport nor WP Financial received any benefits in their individual capacities related to the transactions described above, except for WP Financial’s retention of shares in Monster Digital.

Private Placements

WestPark Capital acted as our placement agent in connection with a private placement of 524,914 shares of our common stock between May 2012 and June 2013. In connection therewith, we paid WestPark Capital commissions and expenses of $921,000 and issued them five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 52,492 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $14.85, which was the private placement per share price.

WestPark Capital also acted as our placement agent in connection with a private placement between April 2014 and March 2015 of $5.1 million worth of our convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In connection therewith, we paid WestPark Capital commissions and expenses of $662,000 and issued them five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 29,121 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $22.28; the warrants issued to WestPark Capital had identical terms and conditions to those issued to investors in that private placement.

In December 2014, we issued 57,236 shares of our common stock to a non-executive employee of WestPark Capital for assistance in effecting an exchange offer of the aforementioned notes and warrants for shares of our common stock which we effected between December 2014 and March 2015.

WestPark Capital also acted as our Subscription Agent in connection with a rights offering between April and August 2015 of 394,008 shares of our common stock. In connection therewith, we paid WestPark Capital commissions and expenses of $475,000.

WestPark Capital acted as our placement agent in connection with a private placement from October 2015 to February 2016 of promissory notes consisting of $3.36 million loaned to our company a 22.5% loan organization fee payable on maturity, which is on the earlier of October 2016 or the closing date of our initial public offering, and a flat fee interest rate of 15%. In connection therewith we paid WestPark Capital commission and expenses of $454,000.

Westpark Capital is acting as our placement agent in connection with a private placement of up to $3.0 million of our Series A Preferred Stock which we commenced in March 2016. In connection therewith we are paying Westpark Capital a 10% commission and a 3% non-accountable expense allowance, as well as certain legal and other expenses of Westpark Capital.

Factoring Facility

In 2013, WestPark Capital acted as our agent in arranging a factoring facility. In connection therewith, we paid WestPark Capital a fee of $60,000.

Other Arrangements

In December 2013 and January 2014, David H. Clarke, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially loaned Westpark Capital Financial Services LLC, the parent company of WestPark Capital, Inc., an aggregate of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$350,000 evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at 5% per annum and due five years from the date of issuance. In connection therewith Westpark Capital Financial Services LLC transferred to Mr. Clarke 7,659 shares of our common stock held by it and warrants to purchase up to 7,659 shares of our common stock held by it. The exercise price of the warrants is $14.85 and the warrants expire in 2017. All such loans and equity transfers were made by Westpark Capital Financial Services LLC prior to Mr. Clarke becoming our Chief Executive Officer. All such notes remain outstanding.

As of the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was initially filed, Westpark Capital beneficially held over 5% of our common stock. WestPark Capital has since such filing date transferred 111,257 shares of the common stock held by it and warrants to purchase 35,537 shares of common stock to associated persons at WestPark Capital and to third parties further to prior contractual commitments; each of the transferees represented that he/she/it was an accredited investor.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by:

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security.

In March 2016, our board of directors authorized and established a class of our preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock was 3,000,000 shares with the stated value of $1.00 per share, or $3,000,000 as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock in terms of liquidation preference and is non-participating in connection with any liquidation. The Series A Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis with shares of our common stock except where a class vote is required under applicable Delaware law. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing $1.00 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The Conversion Price per share is $1.00. As of June 23, 2016, we had 2,802,430 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted according to their terms immediately prior to the consummation of this offering into such number of shares of common stock and warrants as is determined by dividing the $1.00 by the initial public offering price of the shares of common stock offered by means of this prospectus.

Our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of an additional 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

deferring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action. Upon the closing of this offering, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding, and we have no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

The warrants issued in this offering entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price equal to $5.9375, based on the anticipated initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of such warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, 60 months after the closing of this offering. Each warrant has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MSDIW”.

From and after one year following their issuance, we may redeem the outstanding warrants without the consent of any third party or the underwriter:

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we call the warrants for redemption, each holder of warrants will then be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrants prior to the date scheduled for redemption. However, there can be no assurance that the price of the common stock will exceed the warrants exercise price after the redemption call is made.

The warrants will be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement between us and the Warrant Agent. Certain provisions of the warrants are set forth herein but are only a summary and are qualified in their entirety by the relevant provisions of such Warrant Agreement, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at prices below its exercise price.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we must use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, the holders of the warrants shall have the right to exercise the warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the warrants, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

A holder may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock

TABLE OF CONTENTS

after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrant, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price. If multiple warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

Options and Stock Grants under 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan

As of June 23, 2016, there were outstanding stock options under our 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan to purchase up to 71,040 shares of common stock, all of which have an exercise price of $29.71 per share, vesting in four annual installments. In addition, restricted stock grants of 13,467 and 33,668 had been made under the plan to David Clarke, our Chief Executive Officer and to Neal Bobrick, our Executive Vice President — Sales and Marketing, respectively. Options to acquire approximately 150,000 shares at an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price of the shares sold by means of this offering and approximately 250,000 shares of restricted stock will be issued and granted at the effective date of this offering.

Other Warrants

The owner and Chief Executive Officer of Monster, Inc. holds warrants to purchase an aggregate of 208,122 shares of common stock. Warrants representing the right to purchase 16,833 shares have a per share exercise price of $29.71, and expire in 2017 and the balance have a per share exercise price of $14.85 per share and expire in 2025.

In connection with a private placement of convertible promissory notes and warrants effected by us in between April 2014 and March 2015, we issued investors in the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,303 shares of our common stock at exercise price of $22.14, all of which remain outstanding.

We issued WestPark Capital Financial Services, LLC warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,651 shares of common stock issued in connection with the reorganization of our company in 2012 and further to its role as placement agent in connection with private placements of common stock and convertible note and warrants effected by our company prior to this offering at exercise prices ranging from $.0052 to $22.28 and expiring between 2017 and 2020. In October 2015, WestPark Capital transferred 84,845 shares of the common stock held by it and warrants to purchase 40,590 shares of common stock to third parties further to prior contractual commitments; each of the transferees represented that he/she/it was an accredited investor.

Registration Rights

We have agreed to register all 382,575 shares of common stock held by Monster, Inc. upon demand. We have also agreed (i) to register all shares underlying the warrants and (ii) to register all shares of our common stock underlying the warrants to be sold to the underwriter upon the closing of this offering at such time as we become eligible to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3.

All of the shares included in an effective registration statement may be freely sold and transferred, subject to any applicable lock-up agreement.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that all stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by written consent. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by holders of a majority of our common stock, voting together as a single class, or by the majority of our whole board of directors, or our chief executive officer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our shares of our capital stock or warrants. Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices of our shares of common stock or warrants prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of our common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares of common stock or warrants at such time and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon the closing of this offering, 7,650,728 shares of common stock will be outstanding after giving effect to the Conversion and to Company Conversion Issuance based on an assumed initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock and warrants and no exercise of the warrants offered hereby or other outstanding warrants and options. Of the outstanding shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below.

The remaining shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering are restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and are subject to lock-up agreements with us as described below. Following the expiration of the lock-up period, restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, described in greater detail below.

Rule 144

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. Such sales both by affiliates and by non-affiliates must also comply with the manner non-affiliates of sale, current public information and notice provisions of non-affiliates Rule 144.

Rule 701

Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits re-sales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. Most of our employees, executive officers, directors or consultants who purchased shares under a written compensatory plan or contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling their shares. However, substantially all Rule 701 shares are subject to lock-up agreements as described below and under “Underwriting” and will become eligible for sale at the expiration of those agreements.

In addition, each of our executive officers and directors and holders of all of our common stock, options and warrants outstanding prior to the effective date of this offering, holding an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of common stock, have agreed with the underwriters not to directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer (excluding intra-family transfers, transfers to a trust for estate planning purposes or to beneficiaries of officers, directors and stockholders upon their death), or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which may result in the disposition of any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, without the prior written consent of Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters, for a period of six months after the date of this prospectus except for Jawahar Tandon who agreed not to take any of such actions for a period of 12 months after the date of this prospectus.

We have been advised by the underwriters that they have no present intention and there are no agreements or understandings, explicit or tacit, relating to the early release of any locked-up shares. Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters may, however, consent to an early release from the lock-up period if, in its opinion, the market for the common stock would not be adversely impacted by sales. The release of any lock-up would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Factors that Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters, may consider in deciding whether to release shares from the lock-up restriction include the length of time before the lock-up expires, the number of shares involved, the reason for the requested release, market conditions, the trading price of our securities, historical trading volumes of our securities and whether the person seeking the release is an officer, director or affiliate of us.

We have agreed to register all 382,575 shares of common stock held by Monster, Inc. upon demand. We have also agreed (i) to register all shares underlying the warrants offered hereby and (ii) to register all shares of our common stock underlying warrants to be sold to the underwriter upon the closing of this offering at such time as we become eligible to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3. All of the shares included in an effective registration statement may be freely sold and transferred, subject to any applicable lock-up agreement.

Equity Incentive Plan

As soon as practicable after the closing of this offering, we intend to file a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act to register shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to “U.S. holders” and “non-U.S. holders” (each as defined below) with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the securities being sold in this offering. This discussion only applies to purchasers who purchase and hold our common stock and warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to each purchaser or holder of common stock and warrants in light of its particular circumstances.

This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. These authorities may change, perhaps retroactively, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes (such as the alternative minimum tax) and does not describe any non-U.S., state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to a purchaser or holder of common stock or Warrants in light of its particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to a purchaser or a holder of common stock or warrants that is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including a tax-exempt entity, pension or other employee benefit plan, financial institution or broker-dealer, person holding common stock or Warrants as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, an insurance company, a former U.S. citizen, or former long-term U.S. resident). The authorities on which this discussion is based are subject to various interpretations, and any views expressed within this discussion are not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, or the courts. No assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the tax consequences described herein. Additionally, we cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this discussion.

For purposes of this discussion, U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock and warrants acquired pursuant to this offering that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

A non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock and Warrants acquired pursuant to this offering that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock or warrants, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner of that partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership that holds our common stock or warrants you should consult your tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the common stock and warrants.

Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences to such investor of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our securities.

Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit

There is no authority directly addressing the treatment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of securities with terms substantially the same as our common stock and warrants sold together hereunder known for purposes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of this section as “Unit”, and, therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. Each Unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an investment Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each warrant representing the right to acquire one share of our common stock. Each holder of a Unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such Unit between the share of common stock and the warrant based on their respective relative fair market values. A holder’s initial tax basis in the common stock and warrants included in each Unit should equal the portion of the purchase price of the shares of common stock on warrants allocated thereto.

We intend to treat the warrants as options to purchase our common stock and not as current interests in our common stock until the warrants are exercised by the holders.

The foregoing treatment of the common stock and warrants are not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the Units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of an investment in our shares of common stock and warrants sold together hereunder (including alternative characterizations of a Unit). Unless otherwise stated, the following discussions are based on the assumption that our intended characterization of the common stock and warrants described above is accepted for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Holders

Exercise of warrants

A U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a warrant and related receipt of our common stock. A U.S. holder’s initial tax basis in shares of our common stock received on the exercise of a warrant should be equal to the sum of (i) the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrant plus (ii) the exercise price paid by the U.S. holder on the exercise of the warrant. A U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of common stock received on the exercise of a warrant will begin on the day after the warrant is exercised by the U.S. holder.

Disposition of warrants

A U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a warrant in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received upon such taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrant sold or otherwise disposed of. Any such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the warrant is held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) may be eligible for preferential rates of taxation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations under the Code.

Expiration of warrants Without Exercise

Upon the lapse or expiration of a warrant, a U.S. holder will recognize a loss in an amount equal to such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrant. Any such loss generally will be a capital loss and will be a long-term capital loss if the warrant is held for more than one year. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations under the Code.

Certain Adjustments to the warrants

Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued on the exercise of the warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. holder of the warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in our “earnings and profits” or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to our stockholders). Adjustments to the exercise price of a warrant made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interest of the holders of the warrants should generally not result in a constructive distribution. Any such constructive distribution would be taxable whether or not there is an actual distribution of cash or other property (see “Distributions on Our Common Stock” below).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Distributions on Our Common Stock

As discussed above in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate making distributions of cash or other property on our common stock. In the event that we do make distributions of cash or other property on our common stock, generally such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain from the sale of our common stock in the manner described under “Disposition of Our Common Stock” below. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) may be eligible for taxation at preferential rates provided certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied. Dividends received by corporate U.S. holders of our common stock generally will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction so long as certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied.

Disposition of Our Common Stock

Upon the sale, certain qualifying redemptions, or other taxable disposition of shares of our common stock, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received upon such taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of our common stock sold or otherwise disposed of. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if a U.S. holder’s holding period in the shares of common stock is more than one year at the time of the taxable disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) may be eligible for taxation at preferential rates. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations under the Code.

Additional Tax on Passive Income

Individuals, estates and certain trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on “net investment income” including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain trades or businesses). U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock and warrants.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Unless U.S. holders are exempt recipients, such as corporations, information reporting and backup withholding may apply with respect to payments of dividends (including constructive distributions) on our common stock and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of our common stock and warrants if U.S. holders fail to supply accurate taxpayer identification numbers or otherwise fail to comply with applicable U.S. information reporting or certification requirements. The current backup withholding rate is 28%.

Non-U.S. Holders

Exercise of warrants

A non-U.S. holder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exercise of a warrant and related receipt of shares of our common stock.

Expiration of warrants Without Exercise

Upon the lapse or expiration of a warrant, a non-U.S. holder will not recognize a capital loss unless such non-U.S. holder is otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax (as described below under “Disposition of Our Common Stock and warrants”).

Certain Adjustments to the warrants

Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued on the exercise of the warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a non-U.S. holder of the warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment

TABLE OF CONTENTS

has the effect of increasing such non-U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in our “earnings and profits” or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to our stockholders). Adjustments to the exercise price of a warrant made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interest of the holders of the warrants should generally not result in a constructive distribution. Any such constructive distribution would be taxable whether or not there is an actual distribution of cash or other property (see “Distributions on Our Common Stock and Warrants” below).

Distributions on Our Common Stock

As discussed above in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate making distributions of cash or other property on our common stock. In the event that we do make distributions of cash or other property on our common stock, generally such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain from the sale of our common stock in the manner described under “Disposition of Our Common Stock and warrants” below.

Any dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to shares of our common stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by a non-U.S. holder within the United States, and, where an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder, are not subject to this withholding tax, but instead are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at applicable individual or corporate rates. A non-U.S. holder generally must deliver an IRS Form W-8ECI certifying under penalties of perjury that such dividends are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the holder in order for effectively connected dividends to be exempt from this withholding tax. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate (and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below) for dividends generally will be required to (a) complete IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a “United States person” as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits, or (b) if shares of our common stock are held through certain foreign intermediaries (including certain foreign partnerships), satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury regulations. This certification must be provided to us or our paying agent prior to the payment to the non-U.S. holder of any dividends, and may be required to be updated periodically.

Disposition of Our Common Stock and Warrants

Subject to the discussion below under “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “FATCA,” a non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock or warrants will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of such shares of common stock or warrants, unless: (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States, and, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder (in which case, the special rules described below apply); (ii) in the case of a non-U.S. holder who is an individual, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case the gain would be subject to a flat 30% tax, or such reduced rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States; or (iii) subject to certain exceptions, we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation,” as such term is defined in Section 897(c) of the Code, during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the holder's holding period of shares of our common stock or warrants. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming, a U.S. real property holding corporation. Even if we were or were to become a U.S. real property holding corporation at

any time during this period, generally gains realized upon a disposition of shares of our common stock (but not warrants) by a non-U.S. holder that did not directly or indirectly own more than 5% of our common stock during this period would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that our common stock is “regularly traded on an established securities market” (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code). We expect our common stock to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market, although we cannot guarantee it will be so traded.

Any gain described in (i) above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular graduated rates. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, under certain circumstances, that portion of its earnings and profits that is effectively connected with its U.S. trade or business, subject to certain adjustments, generally would be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder payments of dividends on our common stock to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such dividends. Non-U.S. holders may have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a “United States person” (as defined in the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate, currently 28%, with respect to dividends on our common stock. Generally, a holder will comply with such procedures if it provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable Form W-8) or otherwise meets documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a non-United States holder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid to non-U.S. holders subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, as described above under “— Distributions on Our Common Stock,” generally will be exempt from U.S. backup withholding.

Information reporting and backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a disposition of our common stock by a non-United States holder effected by or through the United States office of any broker, United States or foreign, unless the holder certifies its status as a non-United States holder and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a non-U.S. holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-United States office of a broker. However, for information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-United States office of a broker with substantial United States ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a United States office of a broker. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.

Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder can be refunded or credited against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that an appropriate claim is timely filed with the IRS.

FATCA

Pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, the relevant withholding agent may be required to withhold 30% of any “withholdable payments,” which would include any dividends, and, after December 31, 2016, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition, in each case with respect to our common stock and warrants, to (i) a foreign financial institution unless such foreign financial institution agrees to verify, report and disclose its holders of U.S. accounts and meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) a non-financial foreign entity that is the beneficial owner of the payment unless such entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner and such entity meets certain other specified requirements. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of the tax. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this paragraph. Prospective non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock and warrants.

UNDERWRITING

We and the underwriters have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the shares of common stock and warrants being offered. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters have agreed to purchase the number of shares of common stock and warrants listed next to its name in the following table. Axiom Capital Management, Inc., is the representative of the underwritters.

Underwriters		Number of Shares of Common Stock				Number of Warrants
Axiom Capital Management Inc.
WestPark Capital, Inc.

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares of common stock and warrants being offered, if any are taken, other than the securities covered by the option described below unless and until this option is exercised.

We have granted a 45-day option to the underwriters, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.75 per share (assuming an initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) and/or 375,000 additional Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant less, in each case, the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with this offering. If the underwriters exercises this option in whole or in part, then the underwriters will be committed, subject to the conditions described in the underwriting agreement, to purchase the additional offered securities in proportion to its commitment set forth in the prior table.

The following table shows the per share and per warrant price and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters (assuming an initial public offering price of $4.75 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus). Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 375,000 additional shares of common stock and/or warrants.

We have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the underwriter equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds received in this offering. In addition to the 1.0% non-accountable expense allowance, we have also agreed to pay or reimburse the underwriters for certain of the underwriters’ out-of-pocket expenses relating to the offering, including all reasonable fees and expenses of the underwriters’ outside legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $200,000, and reasonable travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses of the underwriter incurred in connection with this offering and the road show in an amount not to exceed $52,500, of which $25,000 has been paid by us as an advance which shall be returned to us to the extent the expenses have not been actually incurred. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

Shares of common stock and warrants sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares of common stock and warrants sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $    per share and $   per warrant from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares of common stock

and warrants, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of shares of common stock and warrants Units by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We have agreed with the underwriters that we will not, without the prior consent Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters, directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which may result in the disposition of any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock (excluding the exercise of certain warrants and/or options currently outstanding and exercisable) for a period of six months after the date of this prospectus.

In addition, each of our executive officers and directors and holders of all of our common stock options and warrants outstanding prior to the effective date of this offering, holding an aggregate of 3,975,000 shares of common stock, have agreed with the underwriters not to directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer (excluding intra-family transfers, transfers to a trust for estate planning purposes or to beneficiaries of officers, directors and stockholders upon their death), or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which may result in the disposition of any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, without the prior written consent of Axiom Capital Management, Inc., as representative of the underwriters, for a period of six months after the date of this prospectus, except for Jawahar Tandon who agreed not to take any of such actions for a period of twelve months after the date of this prospectus.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $1,300,000.

Upon the closing of this offering, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters an option to purchase a number of shares of common stock and warrantss equal to 2% of the shares of common stock and warrants sold in this offering, excluding any securities that may be sold pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of the over-allotment option. The option will be exercisable at a per share and warrant exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share of the shares of common stock and warrants sold further to this offering, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits and similar transactions, and will become exercisable 180 days after the date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the commencement of sales under this prospectus and expire five years from the effective date of the registration statement date of which this prospectus forms a part. The option and the shares of common stock and warrants underlying the option have been deemed compensation by the FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Except as permitted by Rule 5110(g)(1), the underwriters (or permitted assignees under the Rule) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the option or the securities underlying the option, nor will any, of them engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the option or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the commencement of sales under this prospectus. Although the option and the underlying common stock and warrants have been registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we have agreed on only one occasion to register all of such underlying shares of common stock and warrants at such time as we become eligible to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3. These registration rights apply to all of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option, and shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the option, other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders.

Until twelve months from the closing of the offering, the underwriters shall have a right of first refusal to act as lead or managing underwriters or exclusive financial advisors for any offering of securities, merger, acquisition or similar transaction.

Commencing twelve (12) months from the closing date of this offering, we have agreed to pay the underwriters a warrant solicitation fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by us from the exercise of the warrants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares of common stock or warrants. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares of common stock and warrants, in addition to prevailing market conditions, were our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

The shares of our common stock and warrants have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols ‘MSDI” and “MSDIW”, respectively.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with this offering by selling more shares of common stock and warrants than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position in our shares of common stock and warrants. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares of common stock and warrants over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares of common stock and warrants that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares of common stock and warrants involved is greater than the number of shares of common stock and warrants in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position or to stabilize the price of our common stock and/or warrants, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, common stock and/or warrants in the open market. The underwriters may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option. In determining the source of common stock to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of common stock and/or warrants available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase common stock and/or warrants through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying common stock and/or warrants in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the common stock and/or warrants in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares of common stock and/or warrants sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of our common stock and/or warrants in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

The foregoing transaction may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock and/or warrants at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group members, if any, or their affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock and/or warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market immediately prior to the commencement of sales in this offering, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 103 generally provides that:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Passive market making may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters do not expect sales to discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares of common stock and warrants offered.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
