CORPORATE ACTIONS

PROPOSAL 1 – Ratification of Capital Increase

On December 29, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing us to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock to 750,000,000 shares from 500,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors believes that this increase in the number of authorized shares is in the best interest of our company in that it will provide us with available shares which could be issued for various corporate purposes, including financings, acquisitions, mergers, stock dividends, stock splits, stock options, convertible debt and equity financings, as the Board of Directors determines in its discretion. The Board further believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares will enable us to promptly take advantage of market conditions and the availability of favorable opportunities without the delay and expense associated with holding a special meeting of shareholders. The newly authorized shares of common stock will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of common stock.

5


PROPOSAL 2 – Waiver of Annual Meetings

Section 1 of Article 1 of our Bylaws provides that an annual meeting of our shareholders may be waived by the written consent of our shareholders owning a majority of the entire issued and outstanding capital stock of our company. Given our currently limited financial resources and the size of our company, we are seeking shareholder consent for the waiver of the annual meeting of our shareholders for the year ending May 31, 2015.

Given our size and limited financial resources, we have not held annual meetings in the past. However, we plan to hold annual meetings in the future, subject to an increase in our operations and financial condition. Pursuant to our bylaws, we are required to hold an annual meeting at the request in writing of shareholders owning a majority of the entire issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company and entitled to vote.

Shareholders that wish to submit a proposal or nominate a director for our next annual meeting may do so at any time, and in any event should do so within 10 days of filing of a preliminary proxy statement by us with the SEC, after which the submission or nomination will be considered untimely.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Statement, none of the following persons have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon (other than elections to office):

1. any director or officer of our Company since the beginning of our last fiscal year;

2. any proposed nominee for election as a director of our Company; and

3. any associate of any of the foregoing persons.

The shareholdings of our directors and officers are set forth above in the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." To our knowledge, no director has advised that he intends to oppose the corporate actions as more particularly described herein.

  By Order of the Board of Directors:
