IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
Currently, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may avail itself of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For example, we rely on an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, relating to internal control over financial reporting, and we will not provide such an attestation from our auditors for as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
• | the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering in the United States occurs, or December 31, 2025; | ||
• | the end of the first fiscal year in which the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the end of the second quarter of such fiscal year; | ||
• | the end of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.07 billion; and | ||
• | the date on which we have issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities in any rolling three-year period. |
Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided for by the JOBS Act.
4
IMPLICATIONS OF BEING A FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER
We are also considered a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our common shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (1) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (2) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (3) our business is administered principally in the United States. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter.

The Convertible Note is without interest, maturing in two years from the date of the Convertible Note and is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of US$3.00 per shares over the term of the Convertible Note. The conversion price is subject to downward adjustment and has a floor price of US$1.50 if the Company sells ordinary shares below the conversion price within 12 months after the date of the Note. The Note cannot be prepaid. There is also a conversion limitation such that no conversion can be effected if after such conversion Nextglass would own more than 19.99% equity interest in the Company. On December 21, 2020 the Company closed this Convertible Note transaction with Nextglass in which the conversion price was adjusted to US$3.25 per share. |

RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the risks described below and the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 3D of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which Item 3D is herein incorporated by reference.
The integration of Sunup with our business operations may be unsuccessful
In September 2020, we acquired 51% of Sunup Holdings Limited (“Sunup”) for a total consideration of US$1,500,000. The profitability of this significant acquisition depends on our ability to successfully develop and integrate Sunup's business operations with our existing operations. As Sunup has only recently commenced commercial operations, there are uncertainties as to whether its business will be successfully developed and integrated into our existing business.
We do not intend to pay any dividends on our ordinary shares at this time.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date. The payment of cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the future will be dependent upon our revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition, as well as the limitations on dividends and distributions that exist under the laws and regulations of Australia, and will be within the discretion of our board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. As a result, any gain you will realize on our ordinary shares will result solely from the appreciation of such shares.
If do not maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our securities will be subject to delisting
On June 19, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it no longer complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to the Company's failure to maintain a minimum of US$2,500,000 in Stockholders' Equity (or meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities of US$35 million or US$500,000 in net income from continuing operations). On September 28, 2020, the Company announced that it believes that it was compliant as its Shareholders' Equity was approximately US$4.5 million. The Company subsequently received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Staff had determined that the Company complies with the rule. However, the letter further stated that, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its next periodic report, it may be subject to delisting. In such event, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company, which will have an opportunity to appeal any such determination to a Hearings Panel. There are no assurances that our Shareholders' Equity will continue to be in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) of maintaining a minimum of US$2,500,000 in stockholders' equity or meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities of US$35 million or US$500,000 in net income from continuing operations. If the Company is in non-compliance of this requirement, then the Company could be subject to delisting.

In the event that our ordinary shares are delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our ordinary shares because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.
The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stock" that restrict transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. "Penny stocks" generally are equity securities with a price of less than US$5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our ordinary shares have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, "penny stock" within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our ordinary shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such ordinary shares and impede their sale in the secondary market.
A U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding US$200,000, or US$300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the "penny stock" regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a "penny stock", a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the "penny stock" market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the "penny stock" held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in "penny stocks".
Shareholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for "penny stocks" has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
We may issue additional securities in the future, which may result in dilution to our shareholders.
As of December 23, 2020, we have 6,205,979 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which does not include (i) the number of shares to be issued under a previously issued and outstanding convertible notes, (ii) 307,692 shares to be issued on or about December 23, 2020 pursuant to a placement agreement dated December 21, 2020 and (iii) the ordinary shares issued and issuable under this prospectus. As of December 23, 2020 we have two outstanding convertible notes of US$1,799,486 and US$1,650,000 at a conversion price of US$3.50 and US$3.25, respectively for a total of 1,021,831 shares issuable (the “Convertible Notes”). Under the terms of these Convertible Notes, there are adjustments to the conversion price if the Company issues shares below certain prices. In particular, if the Company issues shares below US$2.50 then the total shares issuable under the two Convertible Notes is 1,379,794. If the Company issues shares below US$1.50 then the total shares issuable under the two Convertible Notes is 2,299,657. In these cases, to the extent that the conversion rights are exercised by the noteholders, additional ordinary shares will be issued which will dilute our shareholders.
In addition, to the extent that we conduct additional equity offerings, additional ordinary shares will be issued, which may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market would also result in further dilution to our shareholders and could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

Only a limited market exists for our ordinary shares which could lead to price volatility.
Our ordinary shares trade on Nasdaq. However, trading volumes for our ordinary shares have been historically low and volatile. The limited trading market for our ordinary shares may cause fluctuations in the market value of our ordinary shares to be exaggerated, leading to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market for our ordinary shares.
We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute your ownership. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively impact the trading price of our ordinary shares.
We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure, may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those holders of our ordinary shares. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our ordinary shares. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our shareholders. If we experience dilution from the issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over our shareholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our ordinary shares and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The recurrence of the coronavirus disease COVID-19, or similar adverse public health developments in China, may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
The COVID-19 is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 in China and Hong Kong results in increased travel restrictions, border control, and shutdown of businesses, which may cause slower recovery of the China and Hong Kong economies. We may experience impact from quarantines and market downturns related to pandemic fears and impact on our workforce if the virus continues to spread. COVID-19 affects our workforce and supplier's workforce, and as a result we are experiencing a slow resumption of operations and may experience delays or the inability to deliver goods on a timely basis. In addition, one or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments at various levels and private businesses to attempt to contain the virus. Wider-spread COVID-19 in China and globally could prolong the deterioration in economic conditions and could cause decreases in demand and reduce and/or negatively impact our ability to grow our revenues. Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, bankruptcy of small and medium businesses, or early termination of agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations. Although the Company is taking measures to mitigate the effect as much as possible, there is no assurance that the steps will be sufficient. In most respects it is too early in the pandemic to be able to quantify all the ramifications.

BUSINESS
At the beginning of 2019, IMTE was engaged in the business of development, manufacturing and distribution of glasses-free 3D (also known as autostereoscopic 3D) (“AST”) display. The year 2019 was a challenging year for our AST business as our development of technologies was undercapitalized and much of our work plan was postponed or delayed until funding was secured. We also faced difficulties with our subcontractors to resolve the manufacturing process problems which further delayed sales. In early 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic hit China and then spread to the rest of the world, putting all business on hold for most of 2020 and possibly longer. The economic outlook for retail business is uncertain as the extent of the people’s behavior change to stay at home more and rely on pick-up and delivery services. This will drastically affect our 3D advertising platform business.
In May 2020, as a cost cutting measure in the uncertain times ahead, we divested from the research and development operation. Instead, we have focused on the marketing and sales of AST products and services. Most of the remaining development work will be outsourced with defined budgets. In the longer term, we may develop our technologies if we can see a clear path to market.
The Company is diversifying its business by dedicating resources to the electronic glass and the nano coated plates businesses. These two businesses will not be affected by the COVID 19 as much as the AST business, which is operating in the retail advertising markets, in an uncertain pandemic environment. In particular, the air filter product should not be affected as much as the AST business because, in a pandemic environment, we expect people to consider purchasing devices that cleanse the air. As to the switchable glass business, this sector concerns a commercial product that is less susceptible to short-term interruptions in a pandemic environment because it does not depend on travel.
In line with our renewed business strategy, in September 2020, we acquired 25.5% interests in Sunup Holdings Limited ("Sunup") from each of Nextglass Technologies Corp. and Teko International Limited for US$750,000 each. In total, we acquired 51% of Sunup for a total consideration of US$1,500,000, which was paid by the issuance of a total of 500,000 shares at a price of US$3.00 per share. Sunup is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of nano coating plates used in air filters. Sunup has set up its equipment and began commercial production in November 2020. At the time of the acquisition, Sunup was a non-operating company and its only assets were equipment.
Currently, the Company is focused on the marketing and distribution of AST products, the manufacture and sale of nano coated plates for air filters, and the sale of electronic glass. We believe these two new business operations in air filters and electronic glass will form the foundation of our future growth strategy.
Consist with our current strategy to diversify and expand our business operations, on December 21, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the majority interest in Greifenberg Capital Limited (“Greifenberg”), a company that seeks to analyses credit risk using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, for a total subscription amount of US$1,200,000. This investment provides the Company with an opportunity to integrate its business operation with use of new data and Artificial Intelligence to foster growth in the new digital economy. We believe that strategically integrating our businesses with Artificial Intelligence and Big Data tools will enhance our business operations, especially in the advertising sector such as tracking or predicting trends in consumer behavior. See “Material Contracts” for more information.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholder of the securities and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell any or all of its ordinary shares covered by this prospectus on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.
The Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
• | privately negotiated transactions; | |
• | settlement of short sales; | |
• | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; | |
• | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
• | a combination of any such methods of sale; or | |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Shareholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholder has informed IMTE that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
IMTE is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by IMTE incident to the registration of the securities. IMTE has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Ordinary Shares
Each ordinary share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at any meeting of IMTE's shareholders. The holder of Common Shares is entitled to receive if, as and when declared by the Board, dividends in such amount as shall be determined by the Board. The holders of ordinary shares have the right to receive the Company's remaining property in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.
Warrants
On February 20, 2020 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of 158,730 ordinary shares of the Company and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 126,984 ordinary shares. The Warrants were exercisable for the period of 12 months from the date of issuance, at an exercise price of US$10.50 per Share. If the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s ordinary shares on the trading day immediately prior to the exercise date is less than US$10.50, then the Warrants may be exercised at such time by means of a cashless exercise where each Warrant exercised would receive one Share without any cash payment to the Company. On May 12, 2020, all the Warrants were exercised by means of a cashless exercise.
Options
The Company has no share options outstanding at the date of our Annual Report.
In August 2020, a Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) was approved and established by the board. The ESOP is available to employee, consultants and eligible persons (as the case may be) of the Company as the board may in its discretion determine. The total number of the shares which may be offered by the Company under the ESOP shall not at any time exceed 5% of the Company's total issued shares when aggregated with the number of shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous 3-year period.
The shares are to be issued at a price determined by the board. The options are to be issued for no consideration. The exercise price, duration and other relevant terms of an option is to be determined by the board at its sole discretion.
In September 2020, we granted options to subscribe up to 261,000 ordinary shares to employees, directors and consultants under the ESOP. The ESOP is a two-year plan with the vesting schedule that 50% of the shares vest six months after the vesting commencement date and the balance of the shares vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The exercise prices range from US$3.50 to US$3.70 per share. Each option when exercised entitles the option holder to one ordinary share in the Company. Options are exercisable on or before an expiry date, do not carry any voting or dividend rights and are not transferable except on death of the option holder.

Exemptions from certain Nasdaq Corporate Governance Rules
The Nasdaq listing rules allow for a foreign private issuer, such as IMTE, to follow its home country practices in lieu of certain of the Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards. In connection with our Nasdaq Listing Application, we have relied on and expect to continue to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance standards that are contrary to the laws, rules, regulations or generally accepted business practices in Australia. These exemptions are described below:
• | Although the majority of our directors currently qualify as independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have relied on and expect in the future to continue to rely on an exemption from these independence requirements for a majority of our board of directors as prescribed by Nasdaq Listing Rules. |
• | We have relied on and expect to continue to rely on an exemption from the requirement that our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions under Nasdaq Listing Rules. |
• | We have relied on and expect to continue to rely on an exemption from the quorum requirements applicable to meetings of shareholders under Nasdaq Listing Rules. In compliance with Australian law, our Constitution provides that three shareholders present, in person or by proxy, attorney or a representative, shall constitute a quorum for a general meeting. Nasdaq Listing Rules require that an issuer provide for a quorum as specified in its by-laws for any meeting of the holders of ordinary shares, which quorum may not be less than 33.3% of the outstanding shares of an issuer’s voting ordinary shares. Accordingly, because applicable Australian law and rules governing quorums at shareholder meetings differ from Nasdaq’s quorum requirements, we seek to claim this exemption. |
• | We have relied on and expect to continue to rely on an exemption from the requirement prescribed by Nasdaq Listing Rules that issuers obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with certain acquisitions, private placements of securities, or the establishment or amendment of certain stock option, purchase or other compensation plans. Due to differences between Australian law and rules and the Nasdaq shareholder approval requirements, we seek to claim this exemption. |

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Australia. Certain of our directors are non-residents of the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to:
• | effect service of process within the United States upon our non-U.S. resident directors or on us; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in the United States courts in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in courts of jurisdictions outside the United States in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; or |
• | bring an original action in an Australian court to enforce liabilities against our non-U.S. resident directors or us based solely upon U.S. securities laws. |
You may also have difficulties enforcing in courts outside the United States judgments that are obtained in U.S. courts against any of our non-U.S. resident directors or us, including actions under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.
With that noted, there are no treaties between Australia and the United States that would affect the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments in Australia. We also note that investors may be able to bring an original action in an Australian court against us to enforce liabilities based in part upon U.S. federal securities laws. The disclosure in this section is not based on the opinion of counsel.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We are subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers. We also have a registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC, including relevant exhibits, under the Securities Act with respect to the Securities that may be offered by this prospectus. This prospectus, which constitute a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement or the exhibits. As this prospectus does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement, you should read the registration statement and its exhibits for further information with respect to us and our securities. All information that we file with the SEC is available through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system, which may be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. You can request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing to the SEC. Please visit the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov for further information on the SEC’s Public Reference Room.
We are subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers. Our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2019 has been filed with the SEC and an annual report on Form 20-F for subsequent years will be due within four months following the fiscal year end. We are not required to disclose certain other information that is required from U.S. domestic issuers. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act and also from Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure), which was adopted to ensure that select groups of investors are not privy to specific information about an issuer before other investors.
We are, however, still subject to the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, such as Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Since many of the disclosure obligations required of us as a foreign private issuer are different than those required by companies filing as a domestic issuer, our shareholders, potential shareholders and the investing public in general should not expect to receive information about us in the same amount and at the same time as information is received from, or provided by, companies filing as a domestic issuer. We are liable for violations of the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to us as a foreign private issuer.
Only the specific documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, are to be deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the registration statement of which they are a part. No information available on or through our website, or any other website, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITY
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of IMTE, 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Australian law. Australian law provides that a company or a related body corporate of the company may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent of any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer or director of the company:
• | a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate of the company; |
• | a liability for a pecuniary penalty order made under section 1317G or a compensation order under section 961M, 1317H, 1317HA or 1317HB of the Australian Corporations Act 2001; |
• | a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate of the company and did not arise out of conduct in good faith; or |
• | legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or director of the company if the costs are incurred: |
• | in defending or resisting proceedings in which the officer or director is found to have a liability for which they cannot be indemnified as set out above; |
• | in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the officer or director is found guilty; |
• | in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (except costs incurred in responding to actions taken by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for a court order); or |
• | in connection with proceedings for relief to the officer or a director under the Corporations Act, in which the court denies the relief. |
Constitution. Our Constitution provides, except to the extent prohibited by the law and the Corporations Act, for the indemnification of any current or former director, secretary or executive officer of IMTE, or a subsidiary of IMTE against every liability incurred by that person in such capacity, and for all legal costs incurred in defending or resisting (or otherwise in connection with) proceedings, whether civil or criminal or of an administrative or investigatory nature, in which the person becomes involved because of that capacity, except where IMTE is prohibited by statute to indemnify such person or where an indemnity would be made void by statute.
II-1
SEC Position. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us 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.
Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Over the past three years, we have issued and sold to third parties the securities listed below without registering the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). None of these transactions involved any public offering. All our securities were sold through private placement either (i) outside the United States or (ii) in the United States to a limited number of investors in transactions not involving any public offering. As discussed below, we believe that each issuance of these securities was exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act.
1. | the issuance of 25,275 shares at a share price of US$14.45 (or about A$19.456) per share for a total subscription proceeds of A$491,750 for settlement of consultancy service payment on July 17, 2018. These shares were issued to a person outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. | |
2. | the issuance of 708,500 shares for the conversion of A$8,000,000 of debt owed to Marvel Finance Limited on December 12, 2018. These shares were sold outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. | |
3. | the sale of 450,000 shares in the amount of US$1,350,000 by private placement to Nextglass Technologies Corp on September 8, 2020 This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2). | |
4. | the issuance of 4,471 shares in the amount of US$17,000 to Arpa Infinity Limited for the provision of IT development on September 15, 2020. These shares were sold outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. | |
5. | issuance of 250,000 shares each to Nextglass Technologies Corp and Teko International Limited for a total issuance of 500,000 shares in the total amount of US$1,500,000 for the purchase a total of 51% interests in Sunup Holdings Limited on September 17, 2020. These issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation S. | |
6. | the aggregate of first issuance of the 700,000 shares in the amount of US$2,100,000 on July 20, 2020 and second issuance of 241,667 shares in the amount of US$725,000 by conversion of a convertible promissory note by CIMB Limited on October 6, 2020. These securities were sold outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. | |
7. | issuance of 46,741 shares to CIMB Limited in the amount of A$174,811 for the settlement of interest on a convertible promissory note on October 6, 2020. The shares were sold outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. | |
8. | issuance of 266,667 shares in the amount of US$800,001 to Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC on December 2, 2020. This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2). | |
9. | issuance of 307,692 shares on or about December 23, 2020 in the amount of US$1,000,000 for the nano-coating filter business, pursuant to a placement agreement entered into on December 21, 2020. The shares were sold outside the United States in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. |
II-2
In September 2020, we have granted options to subscribe up to 261,000 ordinary shares to employees, directors and consultants under our Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP is a two-year plan with the vesting schedule that 50% of the shares vest six months after the vesting commencement date and the balance of the shares vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date. The exercise prices range from US$3.50 to US$3.70 per share. Each option when exercised entitles the option holder to one share in the Company. Options are exercisable on or before an expiry date, do not carry any voting or dividend rights and are not transferable except on death of the option holder. We believe that the issuance of these securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Regulation S or Rule 701 of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation. No underwriters were employed in connection with the foregoing option grants.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the registered securities 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-3
(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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
(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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) to this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the 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, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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. |
(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. |
II-4
(4) | To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A. of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic 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. |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
(i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
(ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such Securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-5
(6) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-6
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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
(2) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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. |
