<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in">Nevada law permits a company to indemnify
its directors and officers, except for any act of dishonesty. The Company has provided in its bylaws for the indemnification of
its officers and directors against expenses reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of their status as an officer or director, except in cases of his or her own
willful misconduct or gross negligence.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company&rsquo;s articles of incorporation
limit or eliminate the personal liability of its officers and directors for damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary
duty for acts or omissions, except for damages resulting from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a
knowing violation of law, or the inappropriate payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in">The above discussion of the registrant&rsquo;s
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety
by such articles of incorporation, bylaws and applicable Nevada law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in">To the extent that our directors and
officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Nevada law or contractual arrangements against liabilities
arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.</P>

PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a)
PROSPECTUS
As permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), this registration statement omits the information specified in Part I of
Form S-8. The documents containing the information specified in Part I of this registration statement will be sent or given to

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by the registrant
with the Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, filed on December 29, 2014,
as amended by Amendments No. 1 and 2, filed on February 18, 2015 and March 6, 2015, respectively;
(b)
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014, March 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, filed on
February 13, 2015, May 15, 2015, and August 14, 2015, respectively; and
(c)
Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2014 (and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on October 22, 2014), January
14, 2015 and February 20, 2015.
All documents subsequently filed by the registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of
such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein
(or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated by reference herein) modifies or supersedes such statement.
Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof except as so modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Nevada law permits a company to indemnify
its directors and officers, except for any act of dishonesty. The Company has provided in its bylaws for the indemnification of
its officers and directors against expenses reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of their status as an officer or director, except in cases of his or her own
willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Company's articles of incorporation
limit or eliminate the personal liability of its officers and directors for damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary
duty for acts or omissions, except for damages resulting from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a
knowing violation of law, or the inappropriate payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes.
The above discussion of the registrant's
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety
by such articles of incorporation, bylaws and applicable Nevada law.
To the extent that our directors and
officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Nevada law or contractual arrangements against liabilities
arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9.    Undertakings
.
(a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)     To include any prospectus required
by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of
this chapter) 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;
4
(iii)     To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and
(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.
(b)     The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)     Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
