We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus by the following cautionary statements.
This Prospectus, and any supplement to this Prospectus include forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as intends, anticipates, believes, estimates, projects, forecasts, expects, plans and proposes. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

Our current business activities include the potential growing, cultivating and selling of medical marihuana in Canada under the Canadian Federally regulated Medical Marihuana Purposes Regulations (MMPR) program.
Actual results may vary from those expected. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are appropriate only for the date made. We do not plan to subsequently revise these forward-looking statements to reflect current circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Corporate Background
Enertopia Corp. was formed on November 24, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada and commenced operations on November 24, 2004. We have one, wholly owned subsidiary, Thor Pharma Corp., a Canada corporation, through which we conduct our current operations.
From our inception until April 2008, we were primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. Beginning in April 2008, we began our entry into the clean energy sector by purchasing an interest in a solar thermal design and installation company. In late summer 2013, we began our entry into the medicinal marijuana business, which is now the focus of our business plan. As at the date of this prospectus, our activities in the clean energy sector have been discontinued. Our activities in the natural resources sector have also been discontinued with the exception of our AMI Participation Agreement with Downhole Energy LLC (described below).
The address of our principal executive office is Suite 950, 1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4. Our telephone number is (604) 602-1675. In addition, we have a second office located in Kelowna, British Columbia. Our current locations provide adequate office space for our purposes at this stage of our development.
On September 28, 2012, our company closed an offering memorandum placement of 995,000 units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$49,750 or $49,750. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Issuer and one common share purchase warrant. One warrant will be exercisable into one further common share at a price of $0.15 per warrant share for a period of twelve months following closing; or at a price of $0.20 per warrant for the period that is twelve months plus one day to twenty-four months following closing. Our company issued 79,500 shares, 79,500 warrants and 79,500 broker warrants in connection with the private placement.
On October 24, 2012, our company issued 100,000 common shares at a price of $0.06 per shares ($6,000 in the aggregate) pursuant to an Option Agreement with Altar Resources for the Mildred Peak property.
6
On November 15, 2012, our company closed an offering memorandum placement of 1,013,000 units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$50,650 or $50,650. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one further common share at a price of $0.10 per warrant share for a period of twelve months following closing; or at a price of $0.20 per warrant for the period that is twelve months plus one day to twenty-four months following closing. Our company issued 38,000 common shares, 101,300 units, and 101,300 broker warrants in connection with the private placement.
On March 1, 2013, our company settled the debt incurred of $16,000 from September 1, 2011 to February 28, 2013 for consulting fees with Mr. Mark Snyder by issuing 160,000 restricted common shares at a price of $0.10 per share.
On May 30, 2013, we terminated our Option Agreement with Altar Resources with respect to the Mildred Peak property.
On June 26, 2013, we terminated our Option Agreement with Wildhorse Copper Inc. with respect to the Copper Hills property.
Subsequent to year end, on September 17, 2013 our company entered into an AMI Participation Agreement with Downhole Energy LLC to participate in 100% gross interest and 75% net revenue interest for drilling, completion and production of up to 100 oil wells on certain oil and gas leases covering 2,924 acres in the historic field located in Forest and Venango counties, Pennsylvania. On execution of this agreement our company issued 100,000 common shares to Downhole Energy LLC. The participation agreement gives our company the opportunity to pay 100% of the gross expenses per well to earn 75% net profits per well drilled and completed. Although the participation agreement remains effective, our company has been unable to fund the drilling of any oil wells to date.
Subsequent to year end, on October 4, 2013 our company entered into a consulting agreement with Olibri Acquisitions and issued 750,000 common shares to Olibri.
Subsequent to year end, on November 1, 2013, our company entered into a Letter of Intent Agreement (LOI) with 0786521 BC Ltd. and 0984329 BC Ltd. (the Vendor) pursuant to which our company wishes to buy and the Vendor wishes to sell 51% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Vendor. The Vendor is the owner, operator of a Medical Marihuana operation located at 33420 Cardinal Street, Mission, British Columbia, Canada. Until such time as the Vendor and our company enter into a Definitive Agreement, the parties agree that all terms of the LOI will serve only as an expression of interest between the Vendor and our company. The LOI is not comprehensive and no business relationship will be created between the Vendor and our company unless and until such time as we enter into definitive agreement. On the execution of the LOI, our company issued 10,000,000 common shares to the Vendor.
Subsequent to year end, on November 18, 2013, our company entered into an investor relations contract with Coal Harbor Communications Inc. The initial term of this agreement shall begin on the date of execution of this Agreement and continue for two months. Thereafter the agreement will continue on a month-by-month basis pending cancelation by written notification with 30 days of notice. In consideration for the services our company will pay to Coal Harbor Communications a one-time payment of two hundred thousand shares (200,000) of our common stock.
Subsequent to year end, on November 26, 2013, our company closed the first tranche of a private placement of 2,720,000 units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$136,000 ($136,000). Each warrant will be exercisable into one further share at a price of $0.10 per warrant share for a period of thirty six month following the close.
Subsequent to year end, on December 2, 2013, our company sold its investment in Pro Eco Energy Ltd. from its original purchase price of $45,000 which gave our company 900,000 shares or 8.25% interest in the Pro Eco on April 21, 2008 to Western Standard Energy Corp. for $40,000. The terms of the purchase are as follows: a) $10,000 on the Closing date which is December 02, 2013; b) $10,000 on or before December 31, 2013; c) $10,000 on or before January 31, 2014; d) $10,000 on or before February 28, 2014.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
You should carefully consider the risks described below including but not limited to those related to our business in the Canadian medical marihuana sector. Though federally approved in Canada for medical purposes, it is still against federal law in the United States of America to grow, cultivate and sell marijuana. Together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this registration statement that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
9
Risks Associated with Our Business
The possession, cultivation and distribution of marijuana may under certain circumstances lead to prosecution under United States federal law, which may cause our business to fail.
Our planned medical marihuana (MMJ) business is structured to comply with the Canadian Medical Marihuana Purposes Regulations (MMPR), which permits the sale of medical marihuana in Canada under federal license. In the United Sates, 23 states, including our state of incorporation, Nevada, have approved and regulate medical marihuana use. Similarly, two states have approved and regulate non-medical marihuana use by adults. However, it remains illegal under United States federal law to grow, cultivate or sell marijuana for any purpose. In that regard, the United States Justice Department has released the COLE Memorandum of 8-29-13 which states that the Justice Department will not prioritize the prosecution of marihuana related activities authorized under state laws provided that state authorities implement and enforce strict guidelines to ensure the health, safety and security of the public. Where the individual state framework fails to protect the public, the Justice Department has instructed federal prosecutors to enforce the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The Department of Justice has not, to our knowledge, published any policy or guidance specifically regarding the participation of a United States corporation in lawful medical marihuana related activities outside of the United States.
Although our planned medical marihuana business is federally sanctioned in Canada and not contrary to the public policy or laws of our state of incorporation, neither state law nor Canadian federal law provides protection against federal prosecution in the United States, which remains at the discretion of the Department of Justice. Although, in light of the COLE Memorandum, we do not anticipate that we will be targeted for prosecution by the Department of Justice, if the Department of Justice uses its discretion to prosecute our company for a violation of the Controlled Substances Act, the resulting civil or criminal consequences will have a material adverse effect on our business, and may cause our business to fail.
The failure to become licensed by Health Canada for the production of medical marihuana production may cause us to abandon our business plan.
There is no assurance that any of our company's joint ventures will be approved by Health Canada or will be granted licensed producer status. Our failure to obtain a license from Health Canada would materially and adversely affect our company's operations, and we would need to revise or abandon our business plan accordingly.
Untimely processing of our license applications by Health Canada may cause our business to fail.
The success of our business plan relies in part on the timely processing by Health Canada of one or more of the various applications submitted by our joint ventures to become licensed producers under MMPR. According to Health Canada, as at August. 25, 2014, it had received 1,009 formal production licences applications under the MMPR since its call for applications in 2013. Of those, 462 applications have been returned as incomplete, 201 have been rejected and 32 withdrawn. To date, 14 productions licenses have been granted to 13 different producers with only 2 licenses granted during the summer of 2014. Due to the slow progress, uncertain timing, and apparent backlog of production license application reviews by Health Canada, we are unable to determine with any accuracy when any of our applications will be processed. Undue delays on the part of Health Canada in processing our application may result in our failure to meet contractual deadlines and termination of our joint ventures, or cause our joint ventures to incur additional expenses without the imminent prospect of revenues, which could cause our business to fail.
Our company has no operating history and an evolving business model .which raises doubt about our ability to achieve profitability or obtain financing.
Our company has no operating history. Moreover, our business model is still evolving, subject to change, and will rely on the cooperation and participation of our joint venture partners. Our company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operations, has and we no proven history of performance, earnings or success. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability or obtain future financing.
Uncertain demand for medical marihuana products may cause our business plan to be unprofitable.
Demand for medical marijuana is dependent on a number of social, political and economic factors that are beyond the control of our company. While we believe that demand for medical marihuana will continue to grow in Canada, there is no assurance that such increase in demand will happen or that our joint ventures will be profitable.
10
We may not acquire market share or achieve profits due to competition in the medical marihuana industry
Our company operates in a highly competitive marketplace with various competitors. Increased competition may result in reduced gross margins and/or loss of market share, either of which would seriously harm its business and results of operations. Management cannot be certain that the company will be able to compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not seriously harm its business. Some of the company's competitors are much larger and have greater access to capital, sales, marketing and other resources. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new regulations or devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their business model than the company can. Furthermore, some of these competitors may make acquisitions or establish co-operative relationships among themselves or with third parties in the industry to increase their ability to rapidly gain market share.
Conflicts of interest between our company and our directors and officers may result in a loss of business opportunity.
Our directors and officers are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our future operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:
| the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; |
| the opportunity is within the corporations line of business; and |
| it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation. |
We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent. Despite our intentions, conflicts of interest may nevertheless arise which may deprive our company of a business opportunity, which may impede the successful development of our business and negatively impact the value of an investment in our company.
The speculative nature of our business plan may result in the loss of your investment.
Our MMJ operations are in the start-up stage only, and are unproven. We may not be successful in implementing our business plan to become profitable. There may be less demand for our services than we anticipate. There is no assurance that our business will succeed and you may lose your entire investment.
Termination of our joint ventures may result in the failure of our business plan.
Our MMJ business plan relies upon our joint ventures with third parties including the World of Marihuana Productions Ltd, The Green Canvas Ltd., and Lexaria Corp. We currently rely upon our joint venture partners to co-finance our MMJ business opportunities, and to contribute administrative support and MMJ expertise toward the development of our business opportunities. Each of our joint venture agreements may be terminated by our joint venture partners in the event that we do not fulfill our contractually mandated financial obligations in respect of the joint venture, or in the case of our joint venture with Lexaria, if that joint venture is not granted an MMJ production license in Canada by February, 2015. Similarly, our joint venture partners may not perform their contractual obligations to the joint venture. Because the performance and success of our business relies on the success of our joint ventures, the termination of any joint venture would materially harm our business prospects or cause our business to fail. Investors are advised that the information included in this registration statement does not include information, such as the financial condition or qualifications of our joint venture partners, which may be useful to investors in evaluating the prospects of our joint ventures.
Changing consumer preferences may cause our planned products to be unsuccessful in the marketplace.
The decision of a potential client to undergo an environmental audit or review may be based on ethical or commercial reasons. In some instances, or with certain businesses, there may be no assurance that an environmental review will result in any cost savings or increased revenues. As such, unless the ethical consideration is also a material factor, there may be no incentive for such businesses to undertake an environmental review. Changes in consumer and commercial preferences, or trends, toward or away from environmental issues may impact on businesses decisions to undergo environmental reviews. The MMJ sector offers many choices for MMJ patients and their can be no assurance that the product supplied by our company and or its partners will be successful in market penetration.
11
General economic factors may negatively impact the market for our planned products.
The willingness of businesses to spend time and money on energy efficiency may be dependent upon general economic conditions; and any material downturn may reduce the likelihood of businesses incurring costs toward what some businesses may consider a discretionary expense item. Willingness by MMJ patients to continue to buy MMJ products may be dependent upon general economic conditions and any material downturn may reduce the potential profitability of the MMJ business sector.
A wide range of economic and logistical factors may negatively impact our operating results.
Our operating results will be affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially affect revenues and profitability, including the timing and cancellation of customer orders and projects, competitive pressures on pricing, availability of personnel, and market acceptance of our services. As a result, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly and annual basis which could materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Loss of consumer confidence in our company or in our industry may harm our business.
Demand for our services may be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the quality of our services or the industrys practices. Adverse publicity may discourage businesses from buying our services and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Unethical business practices may compromise the growth and development of our business.
The production and sale of medical marihuana is an emerging industry in which business practices are not yet standardized and are subject to frequent scrutiny and evaluation by federal, state, provincial, and municipal authorities, academics, and media outlets, among others, Although we intend to develop our business in accordance with best ethical practices, we may suffer negative publicity if we, our partners, contractors, or customers are found to have engaged in any environmentally, insensitive practices or other business practices that are viewed as unethical.
The failure to secure customers may cause our operations to fail.
We currently have no long-term agreements with any customers. Many of our services may be provided on a onetime basis. Accordingly, we will require new customers on a continuous basis to sustain our operations.
We could be required to enter into fixed price contracts which will expose us to significant market risk.
Fixed price contracts require the service provider to perform all agreed services for a specified lump-sum amount. We anticipate a material percentage of our services will be performed on a fixed price basis. Fixed price contracts expose us to some significant risks, including under-estimation of costs, ambiguities in specifications, unforeseen costs or difficulties, and delays beyond our control. These risks could lead to losses on contracts which may be substantial and which could adversely affect the results of our operations.
If we fail to effectively and efficiently advertise, the growth of our business may be compromised.
The future growth and profitability of our MMJ business will be dependent in part on the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising and promotional expenditures, including our ability to (i) create greater awareness of our services, (ii) determine the appropriate creative message and media mix for future advertising expenditures, and (iii) effectively manage advertising and promotional costs in order to maintain acceptable operating margins. There can be no assurance that we will experience benefits from advertising and promotional expenditures in the future. In addition, no assurance can be given that our planned advertising and promotional expenditures will result in increased revenues, will generate levels of service and name awareness or that we will be able to manage such advertising and promotional expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
12
Our success is dependent on our unproven ability to attract qualified personnel.
We will depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our management team, consultants and other employees. There is strong competition for qualified technical and management personnel in the MMJ sector, and it is expected that such competition will increase. Our planned growth will place increased demands on our existing resources and will likely require the addition of technical personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing personnel. There can be no assurance that our compensation packages will be sufficient to ensure the continued availability of qualified personnel who are necessary for the development of our business.
We have a limited operating history with losses and we expect the losses to continue, which raises concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have generated minimal revenues since our inception and will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses with minimal revenues until we are able to successfully develop our business. Our business plan will require us to incur further expenses. We may not be able to ever become profitable. These circumstances raise concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the start-up stage.
There is an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the financial statements for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2014 with respect to their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2014, we have incurred a net loss of $1,444,895 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 (net loss $411,973 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013) and as at May 31, 2014 has incurred cumulative losses of $7,569,552 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no assurance that our company will be able to continue to finance our company on this basis
Without additional financing to develop our business plan, our business may fail.
Because we have generated only minimal revenue from our business and cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate meaningful revenue from our business, we will need to raise additional funds to conduct and grow our business. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to completely fund the development of our business plan. We anticipate that we will need to raise further financing. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing security-holders.
We may not be able to obtain all of the licenses necessary to operate our business, which would cause our business to fail.
Our operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to build and install alternative energy systems or to conduct energy retrofits and build MMJ operations. We believe that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for our operations and believe we will be able to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits.
Changes in environmental regulation may result in increased or insupportable financial burden on our company.
We believe that we currently comply with existing environmental laws and regulations affecting our proposed operations. While there are no currently known proposed changes in these laws or regulations, significant changes have affected the industry in the past and additional changes may occur in the future.
13
Our operations may be subject to environmental laws, regulations and rules promulgated from time to time by government. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means stricter standards and enforcement. Fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies, directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has potential to reduce the profitability of operations. We intend to comply with all environmental regulations in the United States and Canada.
If we are unable to recruit or retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and stock price.
Our success depends in large part on the continued services of our executive officers and third party relationships. We currently do not have key person insurance on these individuals. The loss of these people, especially without advance notice, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and our stock price. It is also very important that we be able to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including technical personnel, to accommodate our exploration plans and to replace personnel who leave. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and there are a limited number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience. Under these conditions, we could be unable to recruit, train, and retain employees. If we cannot attract and retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.
As we proceed with our business plan, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our services, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Risks Associated with the Shares of Our Company
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase our shares.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our shares since inception, and do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. We presently do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any common stock dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends for common stock in the foreseeable future.
Investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not invest in our shares.
Because we can issue additional shares, purchasers of our shares may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares. The board of directors of our company have the authority to cause us to issue additional shares, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our company in the future.
14
Other Risks
Trading on the OCTQB and CSE may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB electronic quotation service operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. Trading in stock quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commissions penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
15
We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations.
Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States, Canada, or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.
The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.
Because we can issue additional shares, purchasers of our shares may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares. The board of directors of our company has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our company in the future.
Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
Our by-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.
Investors interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
Our by-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions, which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over of our company.
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.
16
As a result of a majority of our directors and officers are residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our company or our directors and officers.
Other than our operations offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, British Columbia, we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Trends, risks and uncertainties.
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common shares.
Item 4 Use of Proceeds
This Prospectus relates to our common stock shares that will be offered on a continuous basis by the Selling Security Holders beginning immediately after the registration statement effective date, which is included in this Prospectus, and may continue for a period in excess of thirty (30) days from this effective date. We are completing this registration statement to allow the Selling Security Holders to sell their shares. The Selling Security Holders will receive all proceeds from this offering and, if all of the shares being offered by this Prospectus are sold at $0.16 per share, those proceeds would be $5,343,008 (estimated based on, solely for the purpose of determining the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c), the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the OTCQB on May 23, 2014). The Selling Security Holders may actually sell all or a portion of their shares through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.
We, the issuer, will not acquire any of the proceeds from the common stock sale by the Selling Security Holders in this offering. Our company will pay all expenses of this offering estimated at $13,668.18. See Part II, Item 13.
Item 5 Determination of Offering Price
The Selling Security Holders will sell their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The number of securities that may be actually sold by a Selling Shareholder will be determined by each Selling Shareholder. The Selling Security Holders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of the securities offered, nor are the Selling Security Holders obligated to sell such shares immediately under this Prospectus. A security holder may sell securities at any price depending on privately negotiated factors such as a shareholders own cash requirements, or objective criteria of value such as the market value of our assets.
We have arbitrarily established the offering price of the common stock and it should not be considered to bear any relationship to our assets, book value or net worth and should not be considered to be an indication of our value. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business.
Among the factors considered by our management were:
17
Item 6 Dilution
22,990,500 common shares of the 33,393,800 shares of our common stock to be sold by the Selling Security Holders are currently issued and outstanding, and will therefore not cause dilution to any of our existing stockholders. If the unexercised warrants that comprise of the 10,403,300 common shares of our company, which are being registered pursuant to this registration statement, are exercised, our issued and outstanding will be 100,903,631 common shares. Upon the exercise of such warrants, there will be a dilution of approximately 10.3%.
Item 7 Selling Security Holders
We are registering an aggregate of 33,393,800 common shares of our company, consisting of 22,990,500 previously issued common shares of our company and 10,403,300 shares of common stock underlying previously issued warrants by our company by Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security Holders have the option to sell the 33,393,800 shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
This Prospectus covers the offering of up to an aggregate of 33,393,800 common shares of our company, consisting of 22,990,500 previously issued common shares of our company and 10,403,300 shares of common stock underlying previously issued warrants by our company by Selling Security Holders. The aggregate of 33,393,800 common shares issued to the 118 Selling Security Holders are restricted under applicable federal and state security laws and are being registered to give them the opportunity to sell their shares.
They are offering for sale a total of 33,393,800 shares of common stock of our company. This comprises approximately 33.09% percent of the total issued and outstanding shares assuming all 10,403,300 warrants are exercised. To the best of our knowledge, the Selling Security Holders have sole voting and investment power and rights over all their shares and are the beneficial owners. They have given all information regarding share ownership. The shares being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading and the Selling Security Holders may offer all or part of their respective shares from time to time but is under no obligation to immediately sell them pursuant to this Prospectus. Thus, our company cannot guarantee that any shares will be sold after this registration statement is declared effective.
The offering of 33,393,800 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock by the Selling Security Holders were originally issued pursuant to private placements on:
1,020,000 of these common shares comprising of the units;
20,000 common shares underlying the warrants that comprised of these warrants; and
1,000,000 common shares that were issued as a result of the exercise of 1,000,000 warrants that comprised of these warrants.
18
2,228,000 of these common shares comprising of the units;
1,138,800 common shares underlying the warrants that comprised of these warrants; and
1,292,000 common shares that were issued as a result of the exercise of 1,292,000 warrants that comprised of these warrants.
4,292,000 of these common shares comprising of the units;
2,167,160 common shares underlying the warrants that comprised of these warrants; and
275,000 common shares that were issued as a result of the exercise of 275,000 warrants that comprised of these warrants.
12,646,000 of these common shares comprising of the units;
7,077,340 common shares underlying the warrants that comprised of these warrants; and
237,500 common shares that were issued as a result of the exercise of 237,500 warrants that comprised of these warrants.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol ENRT and on the CSE under the trading symbol TOP.
The Selling Security Holders will have the option to sell their shares at an initial offering price of $0.16 per share (estimated solely for the purpose of determining the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) based on the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the OTCQB on May 23, 2014) or at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
All of these shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2), Regulation S, or Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). Our reliance upon Rule 903 of Regulation S was based on the fact that the sales of the securities were completed in an offshore transaction, as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the securities.

Item 8 Plan of Distribution
We are registering an aggregate of 33,393,800 common shares of our company, consisting of 22,990,500 previously issued common shares of our company and 10,403,300 shares of common stock underlying previously issued warrants by our company by Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security Holders have the option to sell the 33,393,800 shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The shares may be sold in a lawful manner using any one or more of the following methods: private transaction; ordinary brokerage transactions; transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; broker-dealer as principal purchasers and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account; block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as an agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; broker-dealer agreements with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; exchange distribution following the rules of the applicable exchange; short sales that are not violations of the laws and regulations of any state of the United States; through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or through a combination of any such methods or other lawful means.
The Selling Security Holders are underwriters, within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may also be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit earned on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Security Holders, who are underwriters within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Security Holders, if any of the broker-dealer acts as an agent for the purchaser of said shares, from the purchaser in the amount to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. In connection with such re-sales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above. Any broker or dealer participating in any distribution of the shares may be required to deliver a copy of this Prospectus, including any prospectus supplement, to any individual who purchases any shares from or through such broker-dealer.
30
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB and CSE.
Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB and CSE is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a companys operations or business prospects. The OTCQB should not be confused with the NASDAQ market. OTCQB companies are subject to far less restrictions and regulations than companies whose securities are traded on the NASDAQ market. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and the trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ Small Cap or a stock exchange. In the absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our common stock and its market visibility may be limited, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of our common stock. The Selling Security Holders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of our common stock.
The Selling Security Holders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of our common stock. In particular, during such times as the Selling Security Holders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of any securities, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may, among other things:
Regulation M
During such time as the Selling Security Holders may be engaged in a distribution of any of the securities being registered by this Prospectus, the Selling Security Holders are required to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchaser and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation M defines a distribution as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a distribution participant as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the Selling Security Holders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have also advised the Selling Security Holders of the requirements for delivery of this Prospectus in connection with any sales of the shares offered by this Prospectus.
31
With regard to short sales, the Selling Security Holders cannot cover their short sales with securities from this offering. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the Selling Security Holders will not be permitted to engage in such an activity. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of our common stock.
The Selling Security Holders may also elect to sell their common shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. After the sale of the shares offered by this Prospectus the Selling Security Holders will have 10,403,300 common shares. The sale of these shares could have an adverse impact on the price of our shares or on any trading market that is developed.
We have not registered or qualified offers and sales of shares of common stock under the laws of any country, other than the United States. To comply with certain states securities laws, if applicable, the Selling Security Holders will offer and sell their shares of common stock in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Selling Security Holders may not offer or sell shares of common stock unless we have registered or qualified such shares for sale in such states or we have complied with an available exemption from registration or qualification.
All expenses of this registration statement, estimated to be approximately $17,500, including but not limited to legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees will, be paid by our company. However, any selling costs or brokerage commissions incurred by each Selling Security Holder relating to the sale of their shares will be paid by them. See Use of Proceeds on page 16.
Penny Stock Rules
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which:
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
contains a description of the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of federal securities laws;
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices;
contains the toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer must also provide a customer with:
32
the bid and ask prices for the penny stock;
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock;
the amount and a description of any compensation that the broker-dealer and its associated salesperson will receive in connection with the transaction; and
a monthly account statement indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchasers written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our securities, and therefore our stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
When a Selling Security Holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this Prospectus in the United States, the Selling Security Holder will need to comply with state securities laws, also known as blue sky laws, with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration of secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poors. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise the stockholder as to which states have an exemption for secondary sales of our common stock.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a Selling Security Holder pursuant to this Prospectus, and who subsequently wants to resell such shares will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When this Registration Statement becomes effective, and a Selling Security Holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether he will need to register or may rely on an exemption from registration.
Item 9 Description of Securities to be Registered
Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and no authorized shares of preferred stock.
Common Stock
As of July 14, 2014 we had 90,500,331 shares of our common stock, options to acquire 4,720,348 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 13,858,245 shares of our common issued and outstanding.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. Our common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to our stockholders.
33
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as our Board may deem appropriate without further security holder action.
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to our Board of Directors.
Dividend Policy
Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. From our inception to July 14, 2014, we did not declare any dividends.
We do not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. However, it is possible that our management may decide to declare a cash or stock dividend in the future. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.
Anti-takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our company or changing its board of directors and management. According to our bylaws and articles of incorporation, neither the holders of our companys common stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of an ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our companys issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our companys board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its board of directors.
Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law
Business Combinations
The business combination provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various combination transactions with any interested stockholder: for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or after the expiration of the three-year period, unless:
the transaction is approved by the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or
if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.
34
A combination is defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an interested stockholder having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, or (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.
In general, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 10% or more of a corporations voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Control Share Acquisitions
The control share provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, which apply only to Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and which conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporations stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporations disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become control shares and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters rights.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our independent stock transfer agent is Computershare at 2nd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3B9 (Telephone: 604-661-9400; Facsimile: 604-661-9549).

Overview of Business over the Last Five Years
Prior to the adoption of our current business plan related to medical marihuana, we were primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. As a result, the discussion of business contained in this registration statement describes our companys operations while we were involved in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. With the exception of our September 17, 2013 participation agreement with Downhole Energy LLC, pursuant to which we have the right to participate in the drilling of certain oil and gas leases, our natural resources operations have been discontinued since April, 2010. The participation agreement give our company the opportunity to pay 100% of the gross expenses per well to earn 75% net profits per well drilled and completed. Although the participation agreement remains effective, our company has been unable to fund the drilling of any oil wells to date.
Effective September 1, 2009, we entered into an assignment agreement with Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. The assignment agreement dated August 28, 2009, provides for the purchase by our company of a revenue interest of 40.432% of an 8% share of Cheetahs net revenue after field operating expenses from the Belmont Lake PP F-12-4 horizontal well, located in Belmont Lake Field, Wilkinson County, Mississippi. As consideration, we agreed to pay to Cheetah 57.76% of Cheetahs costs currently budgeted at $77,905.36, subject to revision and 57.76% of Cheetahs 8% share of PP F-12-4 well costs from time to time for infrastructure, pipes, tanks, compressors, trucking, etc. On May 31, 2010, this assigned interest was converted into common shares and warrants of Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd, leaving our company with no direct interest in this well. As a result, we have 375,000 restricted common shares in the capital of Cheetah and 375,000 share purchase warrants which entitled our company to acquire 375,000 restricted common shares in the capital of Cheetah at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for a period of two years.
Effective September 1, 2009, we entered into an assignment agreement with Lexaria Corp. The assignment agreement dated August 28, 2009, provides for the purchase by our company of a revenue interest of 13.475% of a 32% share of Lexarias net revenue after field operating expenses from the Belmont Lake PP F-12-4 horizontal well, located in Belmont Lake Field, Wilkinson County, Mississippi. As consideration, we agreed to pay to Lexaria 19.25% of Lexarias costs currently budgeted at $311,621.44, subject to revision and 19.25% of Lexarias 32% share of PP F-12-4 well costs from time to time for infrastructure, pipes, tanks, compressors, trucking, etc. On May 31, 2010, this assigned interest was converted into common shares and warrants of Lexaria Corp, leaving our company with no direct interest in this well. As a result, we have 499,893 restricted common shares in the capital of Lexaria and 499,983 share purchase warrants which entitle our company to acquire 499,983 restricted common shares in the capital of Lexaria at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for a period of two years.
Effective September 25, 2009, we effected a one (1) for two (2) share consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 37,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 29,305,480 shares of common stock to 14,652,740 shares of common stock. The consolidation became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 25, 2009 under the new stock symbol GLCP. Our CUSIP number was changed to 38079Q207.
On October 9, 2009, we appointed Bal Bhullar as our chief financial officer. Concurrent with the appointment of Ms. Bhullar, we entered into an initial six-month management agreement, thereafter month to month, with BKB Management Ltd., a consulting company controlled by Bal Bhullar.
38
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a month to month management agreement with Mark Snyder, whereby Mark Snyder agreed to act as the Chief Technical Officer of our company.
On January 31, 2010, we entered into an Independent Sales and Marketing Representative Agreement with Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc., a private company beneficially owned by Mark Snyder, our companys Chief Technical Officer.
On February 8, 2010, we changed our name from Golden Aria Corp. to Enertopia Corp. As a result of the name change we received our current CUSIP number: 29277Q1047.
On February 22, 2010, we increased our authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares.
On February 28, 2010, we entered into an Asset and Share Purchase Agreement with Mr. Mark Snyder to acquire up to 20% ownership interest of Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc.
Effective March 26, 2010, our stock quotation under the symbol GLCP was deleted from the OTC Bulletin Board. The symbol was deleted for factors beyond our companys control due to various market makers electing to shift their orders from the OTCBB to the electronic quotation service operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. As a result of these market makers not providing a quote on the OTCBB for four consecutive days our company was deemed to be deficient in maintaining a quotation standard at the OTCBB pursuant to Rule 15c2-11. That determination was made entirely without our companys knowledge.

Concurrently with the execution of our LOI with Lexaria Corp. on April 10, 2014, we entered into a letter of intent with Jeff Paikin, and a corporation controlled by Mr. Paikin. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Lexaria and Enertopia may jointly acquire a conditional lease as joint lessees of approximately 30,000 square feet of warehouse space located in the municipality of Burlington, Ontario. We also acquired the first right of refusal to lease an additional 45,000 square feet. The Lease was conditional for a period of 60 days in order to allow our company and Lexaria to confirm that the zoning applicable to the leased premises allows for us to established a legal marijuana growing operation. In exchange for the lessor holding the leased premises for us for the 60 day conditional period, we issued 38, 297 common shares at a deemed price of $0.47 to Mr. Paikin. If the Municipality did not grant the required zoning approval for this location during the conditional period, the agreement was to terminate without further obligation on the parties. If the zoning was approved, we were to pay base rent and expenses of CAD$8.25 per square foot per year for a minimum term of 5 years. The lease would thereafter be renewable at our option for 3 successive 5 year periods. On April 14, 2014, our company appointed Mr. Jeff Paikin to its Advisory Board for a period of not less than one year, but to be determined by certain performance thresholds described in the letter. Upon signing of the letter of acceptance our company issued 90,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.39. Based on the milestones listed in the letter, Mr. Paikin can be eligible to receive up to a total of 472,500 common shares of our company.
Our joint venture with Lexaria received zoning approval for our planned production facility in Burlington, Ontario, in July, 2014.

The Preliminary Lease Agreement and Extension of LOI modifies the terms of the original LOI by granting to the joint venture the option to terminate the lease with 90 days notice if the joint venture fails to obtain any requisite license or permit to produce medical marihuana at the planned facility. The joint venture will also have the option, from June, 2014 through November, 2014, to pay monthly rent payable under the agreement in common shares of Lexaria and Enertopia.

Business Overview
We are a development stage company seeking to enter the field of medical marihuana production. Specifically, we are seeking to produce, cultivate and distribute medical marihuana in Canada under the new Federal Government of Canada’s MMPR Program. Prior to our adoption of the medical marihuana business plan, we were engaged in the field of oil & gas exploration and retain nominal oil & gas activities described below.
Oil & Gas LOI with Downhole Energy LLC
On September 17, 2013 we announced that we had entered into an AMI participation Agreement with Downhole Energy LLC, to drill up to 100 shallow oil wells over a four year period. Our company issued 100,000 shares on signing this agreement. Our company has the opportunity to pay 100% of the gross expenses per well to earn 75% net profits per well drilled and completed. Our company has been unable to fund the drilling of any oil wells to date.
Medical Marihuana Production in Canada
On July 30, 2001, the Government of Canada implemented the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) pursuant to subsection 55(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which defines the circumstances and the manner in which marijuana can be used in Canada for medical purposes. The MMAR and regulations thereunder granted access to marijuana for Canadians suffering from symptoms (pain, muscle spasms, nausea, weight loss) related to multiple sclerosis, cancer, HIV, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, arthritis or other debilitating symptoms as determined by a medical doctor. The MMAR was administered by Health Canada, the federal agency responsible for national public health. Under the MMAR, licensed patients were permitted to grow their own marijuana or to designate someone grow it for them. Growers under the MMAR were not regulated by Health Canada beyond the allocation of a personal-use production license.
On June 7, 2013 the Canadian regulations concerning the production and sale of medical marijuana were amended with the introduction of the MMPR which permit the licensing of commercial growers beginning April 1, 2014, while eliminating provisions for its production on a personal-use basis. Applications for personal-use production ceased to be processed by Health Canada as of October 1, 2013 and, individuals authorized to possess medical marihuana under the MMAR were directed to transition to the new licensed producer regime. This transition by existing MMAR licensees is subject to several legal appeals, discussed below.
The revised regulations create conditions for a commercial industry that is responsible for medical marijuana production and distribution, by eliminating small-scale, personal-use production. Commercial growers are now able to submit applications to Health Canada for the production of medical marijuana and, if licensed, supply patients who qualify for the product at a price that would be established by market forces and at the discretion of producers.
Currently, the MMPR only permits the sale of dried marihuana; the production of concentrated or edible forms (oils, resins, teas or infusions) is not permitted. On March 21, 2014, the Court of Appeal of the Province of British Columbia ruled in the case of R v. Owen Edward Smith that the MMPR`s restriction on the production of edible marihuana products for medicinal purposes is unconstitutional. The court has given Health Canada 12 months to appeal or rewrite the current MMPR system to allow for other forms of marihuana consumption other than dried marihuana.
Other relevant requirements for applicants and licensed producers under the MMPR include the following:

Other aspects of the MMPR relevant to our business include the following:
Production License Application Process:
The Health Canada process for becoming a licensed producer involves a multi-stage application and review including the following stages:
Step 1: Preliminary Screening
Step 2: Enhanced Screening
Step 3: Security Clearance
Step 4: Review
Step 5: Ready to build letter (if required by applicant)
Step 6: Pre-licence inspection
Step 7: Licensing
To date, Health Canada has not provided estimated or guaranteed process times for any application stage. According to Health Canada, as at August. 25, 2014, it had received 1,009 formal production licence applications under the MMPR since its call for applications in 2013. Of those, 462 applications have been returned as incomplete, 201 have been rejected and 32 withdrawn. To date, 14 productions licenses have been granted to 13 different producers with only 2 licenses granted during the summer of 2014. Due to the slow progress, uncertain timing, and apparent backlog of production license application reviews by Health Canada, we are currently unable to determine with any accuracy when any of our applications under review will be processed.
Allard Case
On March 21, 2014, an injunction was granted by the Federal Court of Canada to four appellants, including Neil Allard, who are appealing the regulations which came in to effect on April 1, 2014. The injunction provides that Authorizations to Possess [ATPs] medical marihuana granted under the MMAR that were valid on March 21, 2014 and associated Personal Use Production Licenses and Designated Production Licenses valid on September 30, 2013 remain valid under the terms of those authorizations, with the exception that the amount of marihuana that can be possessed under the ATP is now limited to 150 grams. The impact of the order is that approximately 37,500 licensees under the MMAR will be permitted to continue production and consumption of marihuana under the MMAR. The court order has no effect on the implementation of the MMPR going forward and no new licenses will be granted under the MMAR. On March 31, 2014, the Federal Government announced its intention to appeal the March 21, 2014 order.
Market For Medical Marihuana in Canada
It is estimated by Health Canada that the overall market for medical marihuana in Canada under the new MMPR will be approximately $1.3 billion per year by 2024 (source: Health Canada/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). As at May, 2014, there were 37,400 medical marihuana users recognized by Health Canada, and Health Canada projects that the number of licensed users will increase to over 450,000 by 2024. Health Canada formerly sold medical marijuana, produced on contract by Prairie Plant Systems (formerly the only licensed producer in Canada), for $5 a gram. It is estimated that the price per gram under the new licensing system will average $7.60 per gram as producers set prices without interference from government (source Health Canada/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).
Despite these estimates MMJ market is relatively new and largely unproven. The adoption rate of commercial MMJ by qualified patients is difficult to determine but a portion (approximately 13%) of the qualified patient population is already conditioned to purchasing government contracted producers under the old system (source: Health Canada). Furthermore, we anticipate that the convenience of a wide selection of MMJ strains delivered directly to patients in a discrete and concealed package will be attractive. Healthcare practitioners are key stakeholders as they will be signing and providing the medical documentation needed for patients to register with commercial producers. Regulation under the MMPR are not significantly different for healthcare practitioners already familiar with the process under the former MMAR. Licensed producers are held responsible for quality of the product provided as the MMPR outlines strict rules for quality assessment and control, cleanliness, manufacturing, and pesticide use. Security and diversion to the black market remain a concern but MMPR outlines strict rules for segregation of duties and security clearances, background checks for employees and officers, tracking of product in and out of the premises, and camera surveillance.
The Use of Marihuana for Medical Purposes (source Cantech Letter: Canada’s Medical Marijuana Industry: A Top Down Look)
The marihuana or cannabis plant, aka cannabis sativa, contains more than 80 cannabinoids, a group of chemical compounds which includes delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Research has shown that THC and CBD influence different regions of the central nervous system and have different effects on cannabis users [Borgwardt, Biol Psychiatry, 2008]. Most of the psychoactive effects associated with the use of cannabis are caused by THC, whereas CBD has been shown to have anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, and anti-psychotic effects [Bergamaschi, Curr Drug Saf., 2011; Niesink, Front Psychiatry, 2013]. Cannabis smoking often leads to adverse effects such as increases and fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure, euphoria, anxiety, and impairment of cognition and memory. Cannabis also contains a similar array of detrimental and carcinogenic compounds compared to cigarette smoke, some of which are present even at higher concentrations [Leung, J Am Board Fam Med, 2011].
MMJ is used and has been tested in a variety of indications. In the last ten years, there have been an estimated 300 individually registered trials used cannabis, THC, or CBD as the intervention. Excluding addiction, the indication that accounted for the majority (42%) of trials, MMJ has been tested in a wide range of indications to help patients cope with pain not only from the disease itself, but also for relief from strong and sometimes toxic medication, such as chemotherapy. Neurological disorders, mental health, muscle and back problems, and inflammation (such as gastrointestinal disorders) are common indications under study.
Technical Specification for Dried Marihuana Production
To date, dried marihuana has not been authorized as a therapeutic product in Canada or in any other country. In addition, no international standards currently exist specifically for the quality of dried marihuana. Dried marihuana produced by a licensed producer (LP), while exempt from the application of the Food and Drug Regulations via the Marihuana Exemption (Food and Drugs Act) Regulations (other than in the context of marihuana to be used in a clinical trial), is subject to provisions in the Food and Drugs Act (Canada) (FDA). The FDA provisions include a general prohibition (paragraph 8(a) and (b)) against the sale of a drug that was “manufactured, prepared, preserved, packaged or stored under unsanitary conditions; or is adulterated”. Similar requirements are provided in Division 4 of the MMPR, which includes Good Production Practice(s) (GPP) requirements relating to storage of dried marihuana, storage premises, equipment, the sanitation program, standard operating procedures, recall of product, and quality assurance personnel. Division 5 of the MMPR provides packaging, labelling and shipping guidelines, which prescribe the same product identification and safety requirements as those for other pharmaceuticals (designation of origin, producer, weight, active ingredient percentage, childproof packaging, warning labels, etc.) Additionally, the MMPR provide compliance and enforcement measures, allowing for refusal, suspension or revocation of a producer’s licence on the basis of risks to public health, safety or security.
In June 2013, Health Canada published the guidance document entitled “Technical Specifications For Testing Dried Marihuana For Medical Purposes” which outlines the procedures and good production practices required under the MMPR for achieving the requisite purity and qualify of finished dried marihuana product. As specified in the MMPR, each batch or lot of dried marihuana must be approved for release by the LP’s Quality Assurance person, who must have the training, experience and technical knowledge relating to the activity conducted and the requirements of Division 4 of the MMPR. This means that the Quality Assurance person must have the ability to evaluate the operations of the LP to ensure compliance with Division 4, and the technical knowledge to be able to assess analytical testing results in order to be able to make the determination of whether the dried marihuana is suitable for sale. The Quality Assurance person is also responsible for investigating quality-related complaints and taking corrective and preventive actions, if necessary. Visual inspection should confirm the absence of pests or extraneous substances. There is no requirement to mill or irradiate the dried marihuana, although LPs may choose to do so.
Marketing and Advertising Restrictions,
Like traditional prescription-only drugs, the marketing and advertising of medical marihuana directly to consumers is prohibited in Canada, subject to certain limited exemptions for activities which are not primarily intended to promote the sale of a drug. Such exemptions include the dissemination of general corporate information, as well as non-promotional information regarding the existence and nature of pharmaceutical products, without reference to potential indications or therapeutic benefits. Drug manufacturers are also permitted to market products directly to health care providers through the provision of drug samples, sponsorship of continuing medical education, and the dissemination of information through sales representatives. More recently, in June, 2014 it was reported that Health Canada disseminated a memorandum to licensed producers providing additional guidelines and cautioning producers against certain promotional activities. These guidelines have not been made public. In light of the evolving guidelines regarding advertising of our planned products, we intend to restrict our product related advertising to health care professionals. We anticipate that any advertising to the general public will be limited to general corporate information.
Client Registration, Ordering and Distribution
Client’s seeking to purchase medical marihuana under the MMPR must be ordinarily resident in Canada, and must submit a detailed application (including relevant identification and contact information and original medical prescription documents meeting the requirements of the MMPR) to become a client of a licensed producer. Similarly, health practitioners are authorized under the MMPR to act as intermediaries between producer and clients for the purposes of filling prescriptions and may therefore purchase product from licensed producers.
Material Supply Sources
Building and growing materials required for establishment of medical marihuana production facilities are not unique the production of marihuana and are readily available from a wide variety of wholesale and retail hardware and agricultural suppliers. Licensed producers under the MMPR may purchase marihuana seed stock, seedlings and mature plants from a variety of domestic Canadian or international suppliers approved by Health Canada.
Development of our Medical Marihuana Business
Following the announcement of the MMPR in June, 2013, our management began identifying and evaluating opportunities for entry into the medical marihuana industry in Canada. We do not currently intend to engage in marihuana related activities in the United States.
World of Marihuana Joint Venture
On January 16, 2014 we announced that we had entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with the World of Marihuana Productions Ltd. (WOM) to grow, cultivate and sell medical marihuana under the MMPR program. As at March 11, 2014 our Company had earned a 31% interest in the World of Marihuana Joint Venture by paying and advancing $375,000 and issuing 16,000,000 million shares 5,000,000 of which shall be held in escrow until a production license under the MMPR is obtained.

Status of WOM Joint Venture
The license application for the WOM joint venture was submitted in October 2013. To date the WOM joint venture has been financed by our Company in the amount of $375,000. The $375,000 budget is intended to fund the joint venture through completion of facility upgrades and completion of the licensing process. On September 18, 2014 we announced that we have provided notice to WOM alleging default under the terms of the joint venture agreement for, among other things, their failure to provide financial information in regards to the funding, expenses and operation of the joint venture. WOM has provided notice in response disputing their default, and we are currently in correspondence with WOMs attorney.
Notwithstanding the outcome of our dispute with WOM, pursuant to the joint venture agreement, if the joint venture has not received a Health Canada license by the anniversary date of January 16, 2015, our company will have no further financial obligations to the joint venture. If the license is granted, we will be responsible to contribute an additional $200,000 by January 16, 2015 and to issue 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to WOM (in addition to subsequent annual payments outlined above) . Although our management believes that the joint venture may still obtain a production license upon completion of facility inspection by Health Canada, no estimate or guarantee can be made at this time as to when or if such license will be awarded. If a license is obtained, we estimate that first revenues from the joint venture will be generated within approximately 120 days from the license grant date.
The proposed WOM joint venture facility is located at 34320 Cardinal Rd,Mission, British Columbia. The facility is a 3,200 ft2, two story structure with a maximum production space of 2,200 ft2 capable of producing approximately 380 kilograms annually. The facility is intended to be fitted with customary equipment for the indoor growing of medical marihuana, including drip irrigation, CO2 burners, grow lights, ballasts, temperature and humidity control devices and sensors, backup generators for power outages due to weather related events and all other equipment necessary for the proper growing conditions and quality and security of the facility as per the Health Canada MMPR guidelines. Due our dispute with WOM we are unable to confirm the current status of the production facility upgrades or the Health Canada licensing application.
The Green Canvas Joint Venture
On February 28, 2014, we announced that we had entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with GCL to grow, cultivate and sell medical marihuana under the Canadian Federal Government MMPR program. As at February 28, 2014, our company has earned 49% in the Green Canvas Joint Venture by paying $500,000 and issuing 10,000,000 million shares (includes 1,800,000 common shares to a broker) with 6,400,000 shares in escrow pending the granting of a Health Canada license within 12 months of signing the JV agreement.
Our company has made all required cash and share payments necessary for the first year of the joint venture signed with GCL. The planned facility for the GCL joint venture is located outside the city of Regina, Saskatchewan where GCL previously operated a production facility under the MMAR. Renovation plans for the facility call for security upgrades and improvements to establish a 14,000 square foot production space. Construction and related costs for the initial renovation and equipment supply are estimated at $500,000. The facility could accommodate up to 55,000 square.feet of total production space subject to additional investment. If the construction cost exceed the funds already advanced by the company each party is required to pay its pro rata share (currently 49% for our company and 51% for GCL).
If the Heath Canada production license is not received by the first anniversary date of the agreement our company would have no further obligations under the joint venture. If a production license is granted by Health Canada then our company would be responsible to make payments under the joint Venture agreement as follows:
on or before the first anniversary of the agreement, we must pay the sum of $250,000 and issue 3,000,000 common shares in return for which we will be granted and vested with an additional 2% ownership interest in the joint venture;
on or before the second anniversary of the agreement, we pay the sum of $150,000 to GCL and issue 3,000,000 common shares to GCL, in return for which Enertopia will be granted and vested with an additional 9% ownership Interest ownership interest in the joint venture.
Upon earning a 60% ownership interest on or before the second anniversary of the agreement in we shall have the option to acquire an additional 15% ownership interest through the issuance of an additional 3,000,000 common shares to GCL on or before the third anniversary of the agreement.
In the event that the joint venture does not obtain a license from Health Canada by February 28, 2015:
GCL shall return all common shares issued to it by Enertopia pursuant to the agreement, other than 3,600,000 common shares issued for the benefit of third parties of which GCL shall be entitled to retain 1,800,000 and a 1,800,000 share finder’s fee retained by Wolverton Securities Inc;
All management agreements entered into by the joint venture shall terminate; and
The joint venture agreement shall terminate.
Status of Green Canvas Joint Venture
The GCL submitted its-application to Health Canada for a production license on July 2014. The application is in the preliminary screening phase during which any deficiencies in the application cited by Health Canada must be corrected before the application proceeds to advanced screening and security clearance. When preliminary screening, enhanced screening and security clearance are concluded, the application review process will begin, followed by pre-license inspection if the application is successful. We are unable at this time to meaningfully anticipate or predict a timeline for review, approval and processing of our application by Health Canada. If the Heath Canada license is not received by the first anniversary date of the agreement our company would have no further obligations under the joint venture. If a production licensed is granted by Health Canada then our company would be responsible to make the above described payments pursuant to the agreement. If a production license is not obtained by the February 28, 2015 deadline, we may nevertheless seek to extend our participation in the joint venture beyond the anniversary date if we determine that (i) sufficient progress has been made to merit additional investment, and (ii) we have access to adequate financing to satisfy our annual payments under the joint venture, in additional to any other capital requirements which may emerge during the licensing process.
The proposed production facility for the Green Canvas joint venture is located outside the city of Regina, Saskatchewan. The facility is scalable to up to 55,000 ft2 and is currently undergoing upgrades to make a 14,000 square foot production space compliant with MMPR standards. It is estimated that production capacity for this facility based on the 14,000 production space will reach be 10,000 kilograms per year.
As described above, we have satisfied our cash and equity obligations to the GCL joint venture until February 28, 2015, earning a 49% interest in the joint venture. If a license is obtained by February 28, 2015, we will be responsible to pay to the GCL $250,000 and 3,000,000 common shares by February 28, 2015 in consideration of an additional 2% interest in the joint venture. We are also responsible to pay consulting fees of $180,000 per year ($15,000 per month) during the first year of the GCL joint venture from February 28, 2014 to February 28, 2015. Any additional expenses of the joint venture not accounted for in the joint venture agreement are to be paid on a pro rata basis according to ownership in the joint venture. In July, 2014 Health Canada implemented updated security requirements under the MMPR to ensure inventories of medical marijuana were stored in secure facilities. The joint venture is currently reviewing the updated security requirements with respect to the enhanced Health Canada standards and is preparing a new budget based on these new calculations. In anticipation of additional costs for completion of the GCL joint venture facility renovation we have allocated $250,000 in our capital requirements for the 12 month period beginning June 1, 2014.
Lexaria Joint Venture
On May 28, 2014, our company and Lexaria entered into a definitive agreement to develop a joint business for the production, manufacture, propagation, import/export, testing, research and development of marijuana in the Province of Ontario under the MMPR, Pursuant to the Agreement, ownership, revenues, and liability related to the the Joint Venture is 51% to Enertopia and 49% to Lexaria. Expenses incurred by the joint venture shall be allocated 45% to Enertopia and 55% to Lexaria. Enertopia shall be responsible for management of the joint venture for as long as it maintains majority ownership. To date, Lexaria and Enertopia have contributed $55,000 and $45,000 to the joint venture, respectively. The joint venture has identified a production location in Burlington, Ontario and received municipal approval for the site in July, 2014. We intend to engage an architect to design the production facility upon acceptance of our application. Construction is anticipated to cost approximately $3,000,000; Enertopia will be responsible for $1,350,000 of this cost. The joint venture is unable to estimate at this time when a production license might be granted by Health Canada, however it is seeking assurances from Health Canada prior to commencement of construction.
The proposed Burlington, Ontario facility is now comprised of ~30,000 ft2, with Lexaria having acquired a right of first refusal having been acquired for another 45,000 square feet totaling 75,000 ft2 to accommodate future growth. Municipal approval has been obtained to use the site for our intended purposes. Planned production areas have 22 foot ceilings which could allow for the possibility of a 2nd mezzanine level in many areas for further expansion. The production target for the facility based on 30,000 ft2 (with approximately 50% devoted to production space) is approximately 10,000 kilograms per year.
Production License Application Status
The Lexaria joint venture has identified a production location in Burlington, Ontario, secured a lease to the facility and received municipal zoning approval for the proposed site in July, 2014. The joint venture`s license application to Health Canada under the MMPR was submitted in July, 2014 and is currently in the preliminary screening stage. We currently lease 30,000 square feet of the planned facility space and may terminate the lease with 90 days notice to the landlord if our Health Canada application is refused for any reasons. The lease is payable in shares of our common stock under January, 2015. If we do not receive a ready to build letter from Health Canada by January 22, 2015, we will have no further obligations under the lease agreement. Commencement of construction on the proposed facility is subject to successful completion of preliminary and enhanced screening, security clearance, application review, and the issuance of a ready-to-build letter from Health Canada. Following completion of construction (if applicable) the facility will be subject to successful inspection before a license may be granted. We are currently unable to provide a meaningful time estimate for completion of this process. We estimate that construction of the facility will take approximately 6 to 9 months from the time we obtain a ready-to-build letter.
Marihuana Production in the United States
Our company is focused on the Medical Marihuana Industry in Canada that is supported by the Canadian Federal Government and administered by Health Canada in accordance with the MMPR. Our company is following the strict guidelines that have been outlined with respect to security, quality control and safety of the product at all times under the current federal MMPR program.
In the United States it is still illegal under federal law to grow, cultivate and sell medical or adult use marijuana. However 23 states have approved medical marihuana for use and two states have approved adult use regulations. The United States Federal government justice department has released memo’s that will respect the individual states where strict guidelines are followed and enforced so that the health, safety and security are protected at all times by state authorities. If the individual state framework fails to protect the public the Federal government will act in enforcing the controlled substances act of 1970 and the DEA will enforce the federal law.
As at the date of this registration statement, our company has not entered into any prospective or definitive arrangements to produce or distribute marihuana products in the United States and has no intention of engaging in marihuana related activities in the United States. However, our Company continually reviews opportunities and monitors legal and regulatory developments related the medical marihuana sector in both Canada and the United States. We anticipate that we will re-evaluate our participation in the United States medical marihuana sector in the event that medical marihuana production becomes federally sanctioned.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Prior to the adoption of our current business plan, our company was engaged in other lines of business related to the acquisition and development of natural resources properties, and the development, manufacture and sale of alternative energy products, including the below described investments and activities, which have been discontinued.
Equity Investment in Pro Eco Energy, Inc.
On April 21, 2008, we paid $32,197 to acquire 8.25% of Pro Eco Energy Ltd., a clean tech energy company involved in designing, developing and installing solar energy solutions for commercial and residential customers. We sold our equity stake in consideration of $40,000 on on December 2, 2013.
Altar Resources, Mildred Peak Property
Between July 19, 2011 and February 2, 2013, we made aggregate cash payments of $124,980 and issued 100,000 common shares at $0.06 per shares ($6,000 in the aggregate) pursuant to an option agreement with Altar Resources for the Mildred Peak mineral property located in Arizona. On May 30, 2013, our company terminated the Option Agreement and has written off $140,980 of capitalized costs.Equity Investment in Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc.
Effective February 28, 2010, we entered into an asset and share purchase agreement to acquire up to 20% ownership of Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc., a private company then engaged in the design and manufacture of water filtration devices. To acquire the 20% interest, we were required to issue 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.20 per share and pay an aggregate of $400,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement Global Solar was required to pay to us a pro-rata share of any after tax profits on a quarterly basis. As at August 31, 2012, our Company had acquired a 9.82% investment in Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc. (GSWPS). This was made by a cash/accrued profit contribution of $145,500 and an issuance of 500,000 shares of our Company at $0.25 per share for a combined value of $270,500. The investment in 2012 had been written down to $68,500. On March 1, 2013, we transferred 1.68% of interest back to Global Solar for settlement the accrued payments of $42,000, thereby reducing our interest from 9.82% to 8.14%. During the year ended August 31, 2013, based on our managements assessment of Global Solars then current operations, we decided to write down long-term investment in Global Solar to $Nil.
Also on January 31, 2010, we entered into an Independent Sales and Marketing Representative Agreement with Global Solar pursuant to which we were appointed as an independent sales representative of Global Solar in certain territories. The agreement was not formally terminated, but has been inactive since March, 2013, and expires on January 31, 2015.
Copper Hills Project, New Mexico
On April 11, 2011, our company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in 56 mineral claims known as the Copper Hills property located in New located in New Mexico, USA. In order to earn the interest in the Copper Hills property, our company was required to make aggregate cash payments of $591,650 over an eight year period and issue an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock over a three year period. Prior to terminating the option on June 26, 2013, our company made aggregate cash payments of $106,863 and issued 500,000 shares at price of $0.15 per share and 150,000 common shares at $0.10 per share to the optionor, Wildhorse Copper Inc., which amounts have been written off. We also incurred exploration costs totaling of $157,774 in respect of the property.
53
As at the date of this prospectus, our business plan does not include any endeavors outside the field or medical marihuana in Canada. Our management intends to entertain and evaluate business opportunities in other fields on a case by case basis and with a view toward preserving and maximizing shareholder value.
Competition
There is strong competition relating to all aspects of the medical marihuana sector. We will actively compete for capital, skilled personnel, and in all other aspects of its operations with a substantial number of other organizations, many of which have greater technical and financial resources than our company. We will actively compete medical marihuana projects and opportunities, and will constantly be facing competition by both smaller and larger companies in all geographical segments of the market. We also anticipate that our joint ventures will face considerable competition for industrial marihuana customers. According to Health Canada, as at August. 25, 2014, it had received 1,009 formal production licence applications under the MMPR since its call for applications in 2013. Of those, 462 applications have been returned as incomplete, 201 have been rejected and 32 withdrawn. To date, 14 productions licenses have been granted to 13 different producers. Despite the slow progress by Health Canada to grant production licenses under the MMPR, we anticipate that hundreds of production licenses will be granted by Health Canada
across Canada and that our joint ventured will be required to compete with those licensees for medical marihuana consumers.
Compliance with Government Regulation
The growing, cultivating and selling of Medical Marihuana in Canada is subject to various Canadian federal, provincial and municipal requirements and regulations. We will from time to time be required to obtain licenses and permits from various governmental authorities in regards to the development of our property and joint venture interests. Prior to submitting an application to become a licensed producer of marihuana for medical purposes under the MMPR, each applicant must provide a written notice to local authorities to inform them of their intention to submit an application. The notice must include the applicant's name, the activities for which the licence is sought (i.e. that activities are to be conducted in respect of cannabis), the site address (and of each building on the site, if applicable) at which the applicant proposes to conduct those activities, as well as the date when the application will be submitted to Health Canada. Thereafter, production facilities require a variety of municipal approvals and permits, including zoning approvals and construction permits. These required approvals and permits will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In light of the rigorous security standards imposed by the MMPR, we do not anticipate any significant obstacles in obtaining necessary permits and approvals. Each of our joint ventures will, however, select locations for prospective facilities based on the availability of municipal zoning allowances for our proposed activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Enertopia Corp.
(A development stage company)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Enertopia Corp. (the Company) (a development stage company, formerly Golden Aria Corp.) as at August 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of stockholders equity, operations and cash flow for the years then ended and the period from November 24, 2004 (inception) to August 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the Companys financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31, 2010, and the cumulative data from November 24, 2004 (inception) to August 31, 2010 in the statements of stockholders equity, operations and cash flows, which were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 25, 2010 which expressed an unqualified opinion, has been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for cumulative data from November 24, 2004 (inception) to August 31, 2010, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and the period from November 24, 2004 (inception) to August 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses from operations since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ENERTOPIA CORP.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2013
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. |
ORGANIZATION | |
The Company was formed on November 24, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada and commenced operations on November 24, 2004. The Company was an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties in the United States and Canada. In the fiscal year 2008, the Company shifted its strategic plan from its non-renewal energy operations to its planned renewal energy operations and natural resource acquisition and development and considered as a development stage company. Subsequent to year ended August 31, 2013, the Company began its entry into the medicinal marijuana business. The Company is diverse in its pursuit of business opportunities in several sectors. The Company has offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, B.C., Canada. | ||
2. |
GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company had a working capital deficit of $471,449 for the year ended August 31, 2013 [deficit of $275,976 for year ended August 31, 2012]. The Company incurred a net loss of $730,904 for the year ended August 31, 2013 [net loss $1,009,735 for the year ended August 31, 2012] and as at August 31, 2013 has incurred cumulative losses of $6,124,658 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance the Company on this basis. | ||
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, to receive the continued support of the Companys shareholders, and ultimately to obtain successful operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. There is significant uncertainty as to whether we can obtain additional financing. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. | ||
3. |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
a) | Basis of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiary, Target Energy, Inc., and its equity interest of Pro Eco Energy Inc. and Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
67
b) | Revenue Recognition | |
The Company recognizes its renewal energy service revenue when services are performed and payments are received or rights to receive consideration are obtained, evidence of an arrangement exists, and collection of consideration is reasonably assured. | ||
c) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As of August 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only. | ||
d) |
Investments in Companies Accounted for Using the Equity Method | |
Investments in equity method investees are accounted for using the equity method based upon the level of ownership and/or the Companys ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Companys proportionate share of the investees net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from and investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Companys share of that net income exceeds the share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. When an investment accounted for using the equity method issues its own shares, the subsequent reduction in the Companys proportionate interest in the investee is reflected in income as a deemed dilution gain or loss on disposition. The Company evaluates its investments in companies accounted for the equity or cost method for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a decrease in value may be other than temporary. | ||
e) |
Mineral Property Rights Acquisition and Exploration and Development Expenditures | |
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated total recoverable proven and probable reserves. | ||
Mineral property exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until the establishment of economically viable reserves. | ||
f) |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company followed Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, to account for its stock options and similar equity instruments issued. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period. ASC 718 requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. |
68
g) |
Accounting Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. | ||
h) |
Loss Per Share | |
Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company has adopted ASC 220 Earnings Per Share. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share because the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments was anti-dilutive. |
i) |
Foreign Currency Translations | ||
The Companys operations are located in the United States of America and Canada, and it has offices in Canada. The Company maintains its accounting records in U.S. Dollars, as follows: | |||
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense that was acquired or incurred in a foreign currency is translated into U.S. dollars by the using of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations. | |||
j) |
Financial Instruments | ||
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: | |||
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |||
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |||
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. | |||
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, owned securities, accounts payable, short term loan, due to related parties, and warrants liability. With the exception of owned securities, non-current portion of promissory notes and warrants liability, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The fair values of the non-current portion of promissory notes are estimated using quoted market prices or are based on the discounted value of future cash flows. The fair value of owned securities are measured based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of the warrants liability is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. |
69
The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. |
||
k) |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. |
||
l) |
Long-Lived Assets Impairment |
|
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance established in ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment’. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value. Fair values are determined based on discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. |
||
m) |
Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”. ASC 410 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The management of the Company had estimated the asset retirement obligation to be immaterial and therefore was not reflected on the consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2013 and 2012. |
||
n) |
Comprehensive Income |
|
The Company has adopted ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. |
||
o) |
Concentration of credit risk |
|
The Company places its cash and cash equivalent with high credit quality financial institution. As of August 31, 2013, the Company had $Nil in a bank beyond insured limit (August 31, 2012: $Nil). |
70
p) |
New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, in an effort to improve comparability between US GAAP and IFRS financial statements with regard to the presentation of offsetting assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position arising from financial and derivative instruments, and repurchase agreements. The ASU establishes additional disclosures presenting the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, offsetting amounts, and the net balance reflected in the statement of financial position. Descriptive information regarding the nature and rights of the offset must also be disclosed. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after January 1, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This updated guidance improves the reporting of significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, separately for each component of comprehensive income, the current period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income affected by the reclassification. The updated guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
||
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830); Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." This guidance applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. We will adopt this guidance beginning with our fiscal quarter starting from March 1, 2014. We are currently reviewing the provisions of ASU No. 2013-05 on our consolidated financial statements. |
||
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This new guidance provides specific financial statement presentation requirements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance states that an unrecognized tax benefit in those circumstances should be presented as a reduction to the deferred tax asset. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
||
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. |

ENERTOPIA CORP. |
(A Development Stage Company) |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
May 31, 2014 |
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars) |
1. |
ORGANIZATION |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2014 included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the August 31, 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
The Company was formed on November 24, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada and commenced operations on November 24, 2004. The Company was an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties in the United States and Canada. In the fiscal year 2010, the Company shifted its strategic plan from its non-renewal energy operations to its planned renewal energy operations and natural resource acquisition and development. In late summer of 2013, the Company added another business sector in its entrance to medical marijuana and is considered a development stage company. The Company has offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, B.C., Canada.
Effective September 25, 2009, we effected one (1) for two (2) share consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock.
On February 8, 2010, the Company changed its name from Golden Aria Corp. to Enertopia Corp.
On February 22, 2010, the Company increased its authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares.
2. |
GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,444,895for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 [net loss of $411,973 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013] and as at May 31, 2014 has incurred cumulative losses of 7,569,553 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance the Company on this basis.
88
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, to receive the continued support of the Companys shareholders, and ultimately to obtain successful operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. There is significant uncertainty as to whether we can obtain additional financing. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a) |
Basis of Consolidation |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Target Energy, Inc., which has been dissolved effective November 4, 2013 with no significant accounting impact, equity interest of Pro Eco Energy Inc., which has been sold on December 2, 2013 with a gain of approximately $7,000, Global Solar Water Power Systems Inc. has been written down to $1, 31% interest in Joint Venture with World of Marihuana Productions Ltd. (WOM) and 49% interest in Joint Venture with Green Canvas Ltd. ("GCL), 51% interest in a Joint Venture with Lexaria on a location in Ontario. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |

New Accounting Pronouncements |
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830); Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity."

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.

Plan of Operation
During the next twelve month period (beginning June 1, 2014), we intend to:
We anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses during this period:
Estimated Funding Required During the 12 Months beginning June 1, 2014 | |
Expense |
Amount ($) |
Research and Development | 100,000 |
World of Marihuana Joint Venture anniversary payment (subject to award of MMPR production license) | 200,000 |
Development of The Green Canvas Joint Venture (MMPR application support, facility identification and development) | 250,000 |
The Green Canvas Joint Venture anniversary payment (subject to award of MMPR production license) | 250,000 |
Development of Lexaria Joint Venture (MMPR application support, development and construction of Burlington, Ontario facility, staff requirements, computer and office equipment) | 1,500,000 |
Management Consulting Fees | 450,000 |
Professional fees | 80,000 |
Rent | 35,000 |
Other general administrative expenses | 100,000 |
Total | $ $2,965,000 |
As at May 31, 2014 we have cash on hand of $1,215,899 and working capital of $1,645,727. Not accounting for our non-cash working capital, we have estimated that we will require an additional $1,750,000 to carry out our business plan for the next twelve months. We will therefore be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, through loans or through debt financing in order to execute our business plan. To the extent that we are unable to raise sufficient cash to executive our business plan, we will be required to scale down or eliminate some of our planned activities by prioritizing both immediate obligations and projects in advanced stages of development. To that end we intend to prioritize our marihuana joint ventures and will require a maximum of $1,800,000 to satisfy our obligations pursuant to those agreements during the 12 months beginning June 1, 2014. This amount includes a $200,000 anniversary payment under our joint venture with World of Marihuana (subject to the award of an MMPR production license by January 16, 2015), a $250,000 anniversary payment under our joint venture with The Green Canvas (subject to the award of an MMPR production license by February 28, 2015) and an estimated $1,350,000 contribution (subject to receipt of assurances from Health Canada regarding our prospective production license under the MMPR) toward the construction of a planned marihuana production facility in Burlington, Ontario in relation to our joint venture with Lexaria corp. The later liability will be subject to receipt of assurances from Health Canada regarding the availability to the joint venture of a production license under the MMPR.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We have not entered into any prospective or definitive financing arrangements as at the date of this registration statement.
105
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration and/or development, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending May 31, 2014 other than office computers, furnishings, and communication equipment as required.
Corporate Offices
The address of our principal executive office is Suite 950, 1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4. Our telephone number is (604) 602-1675. We have another office located in Kelowna. Our current locations provide adequate office space for our purposes at this stage of our development.
Employees
We primarily used the services of sub-contractors and consultants for our intended business operations. Our only technical employee is Mr. McAllister, our president and a director.
We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Robert McAllister on December 1, 2007. During the term of this agreement, Mr. McAllister is to provide corporate administration and consulting services, such duties and responsibilities to include provision of oil and gas industry consulting services, strategic corporate and financial planning, management of the overall business operations of our company, and supervising office staff and exploration and oil & gas consultants. Mr. McAllister is reimbursed at the rate of $2,000 per month. On December 1, 2008, the consulting fee was increased to $5,000 per month. We may terminate this agreement without prior notice based on a number of conditions. Mr. McAllister may terminate the agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice of his intention to do so. Effective March 1, 2014, our company entered into a new Management Consulting Agreement replacing the original agreement with a consulting fee of $6,500 plus GST per month.
106
On October 9, 2009, our company entered into a consulting agreement with BKB Management Ltd, a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. BKB Management controlled by the chief financial officer of our company. A fee of CAD$4,675 including GST was paid per month. We may terminate this agreement without prior notice based on a number of conditions. BKB Management Ltd. may terminate the agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice of his intention to do so. Effective April 1, 2011, the fee is CAD$5,500 plus GST. Effective March 1, 2014, our company entered into a new Management Consulting Agreement replacing the original agreement with a consulting fee of CAD$7,500 plus GST per month.
We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. However, with project advancements in the medical marijuana and if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs we may retain additional employees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-term assets of our company are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance established in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value. Fair values are determined based on discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method whereby our Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period of which revenue is earned.
107
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and/or raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support and/or attaining and maintaining profitable levels of internally generated revenue. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830); Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This guidance applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. We will adopt this guidance beginning with our fiscal quarter starting from March 1, 2014. We are currently reviewing the provisions of ASU No. 2013-05 on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This new guidance provides specific financial statement presentation requirements of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance states that an unrecognized tax benefit in those circumstances should be presented as a reduction to the deferred tax asset. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Our company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our companys financial statements upon adoption.

The increase was largely due to higher consulting and stock based compensation costs of $1,218,997 for the three month period ended May 31, 2014, compared to $46,282 for May 31, 2013. These increased costs were largely due to new consulting contracts and granting stock options to various consultants.

Our companys expenses were higher for the three month period ended May 31, 2014 by $751,816 compared to the same time last year. These increased costs are due to our companys entrance into the Medical Marijuana business sector, and thus entering into definitive joint venture agreements and letter of intents. Additional costs have been incurred by having new advisors and consultants join our company. Other income increased to 326,201 for the three month period ended May 31, 2014 compared to an expense of $140,980 for May 31, 2013.

Overall our losses have increased substantially over the nine month period primarily due to the increased costs in investor relations, travel, advertising, professional fees, consulting fees, travel, and conferences. The increased costs are associated with the medical marijuana business sector. Our company has entered into various joint venture agreements, advisor and consulting agreements which has increased our costs. Other income increased to 240,812 for the three month period ended May 31, 2014 compared to an expense of $135,791 for May 31, 2013.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 was $823,570 compared to $70,516 used in the nine months ended May 31, 2013. The increase in cash used in operating activities was in increased expenses due to the entrance into the medical marijuana business operations with respect to various agreements our company has signed and in the development of the business. Our accumulated losses increased to $7,569,552 as at May 31, 2014.
Our total liabilities as of May 31, 2014 were $315,910 as compared to total liabilities of $525,918 as of August 31, 2013. The decrease of the liabilities is due to paying down our accounts payable and the amounts due to related parties which is primarily for accrued consulting fees for the CEO and CFO of our company.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended August 31, 2012, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the following:

Transactions Not Reported on a Timely Basis |

Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. When we do adopt a code of ethics, we will disclose it in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is independent as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors do not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because they believe the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our board of directors.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:
(a) |
our principal executive officers; | |
(b) |
each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended August 31, 2013 and 2012; and | |
(c) |
up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended August 31, 2013 and 2012, |

Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.

Paid/accrued $60,000 (August 31, 2012: $60,000) to the President of our company in consulting fees.

On February 9, 2012, our company signed a Loan Agreement with Robert McAllister, director of our company to borrow $50,000 (CAD$50,000). The loan is unsecured, was due on May 9, 2012 at an interest rate of 10% per annum and is now on a month to month term.
Director Independence
We currently act with four (4) directors, consisting of Robert McAllister, Donald Findlay, John Thomas and Mathew Chadwick. We have determined that Donald Findlay and John Thomas are an independent director as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
Currently our audit committee consists of all of our board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
123
We do not have a standing compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors act in such capacity. We believe that our directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our directors do not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining additional independent directors who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.
Item 12A Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities
Our bylaws provide that we indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law.
The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) provides that neither a director nor an officer of a Nevada corporation can be held personally liable to the corporation, its stockholders or its creditors unless the director or officer committed both a breach of fiduciary duty and such breach was accompanied by intentional misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of law. Nevada does not exclude breaches of the duty of loyalty or instances where the director has received an improper personal benefit.
A Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he is not liable under NRS 78.138 (see above), acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, with respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. A director or officer who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding subject to the Nevada corporate statutes indemnification provisions must be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys fees.
124
Our companys bylaws provide that the corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the NRS, indemnify and hold harmless any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said provisions from and against any and all liabilities (including expenses) imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding in which he or she may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened, or other matters referred to in or covered by said provisions both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the corporation. Our companys bylaws do not modify Nevada law in this respect.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling us 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.
We have no liability insurance.

Item 14 Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the directors or officers acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.
Section 78.7502 of NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful.
125
Section 78.751 of NRS permits a Nevada company to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Section 78.751 of NRS further permits the company to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
Section 78.752 of NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer of our company will be personally liable to our company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or (ii) the unlawful payment of dividends. In addition, our bylaws permit for the indemnification and insurance provisions in Chapter 78 of the NRS.
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding, which may result in a claim for such indemnification.
Further, in the normal course of business, we may have in our contracts indemnification clauses, written as either mutual where each party will indemnify, defend, and hold each other harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties; or single where we have agreed to hold certain parties harmless against losses etc.

Our Bylaws

The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.

Item 17 Undertakings
The registrant hereby undertakes:
1. |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) |
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
136
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and | |
(iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
2. |
That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; |
3. |
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and |
4. |
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) |
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; | |
(ii) |
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant; | |
(iii) |
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and | |
(iv) |
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
137
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
138
