local time.
Proxies
and Voting Procedures
Holders
of all shares of Company Stock entitled to vote can vote their shares by completing and returning by mail the enclosed proxy card
pursuant to the directions on the proxy card.
You
can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by timely delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy or by voting
in person at the Annual Meeting.
All
shares entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting and not revoked will
be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions.
If
your shares are registered directly in your name with VStock Transfer, LLC, our transfer agent, you are considered a stockholder
of record. As a stockholder of record at the close of business on July 30, 2020, you can vote in person at the Annual Meeting
as follows:
By
Online: Vote online at the following site: (https://www.vstocktransfer.com). All online votes must be received
by the Company’s stock transfer agent on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on August 27, 2020. Those voting online must use the
shareholder control number shown on the proxy card. If you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted
as recommended by the Board.
By
e-mail: Complete, sign, date, and scan the proxy card you received and return it to the Company’s stock transfer
agent - VStock Transfer, LLC – by e-mailing it to vote@vstocktransfer.com. All votes delivered by e-mail must be
received by the Company’s stock transfer agent on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on August 27, 2020. If you do not indicate
your voting preferences, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.
By
Fax: Complete, sign and date the proxy card you received and return it to the Company’s stock transfer agent —
VStock Transfer, LLC – by fax to (646) 536-3179. All votes delivered by Fax must be received by the Company’s stock
transfer agent on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on August 27, 2020. If you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will
be voted as recommended by the Board.
By
Mail: Complete, sign and date the proxy card you received and return it in the prepaid envelope pursuant to its instructions.
If the prepaid envelope is missing, please mail your completed proxy card to the Company’s stock transfer agent —
VStock Transfer, LLC at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598. All mailed proxies must be received by the Company’s
stock transfer agent, on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on August 27, 2020. If you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares
will be voted as recommended by the Board.
If
you submit a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, those shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.
If
your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or otherwise by a nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those
shares, and your shares are held in “street name”. If you hold your shares in “street name”, you will
receive instructions from your broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you do not instruct your broker
or other nominee how to vote such shares, they may vote your shares as they decide as to each matter for which they have discretionary
authority under the applicable law. On those matters as to which those rules do not permit brokers or other nominees to vote in
the absence of instructions from the account holder, the broker or other nominee will not vote the shares on the matter (this
is deemed a “broker non-vote”).
If
any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, including, among other things, consideration
of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place, the individuals named as proxies and acting thereunder will
have discretion to vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy
would be entitled to vote. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the
postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted. At the date this Proxy Statement
went to press, we did not anticipate that any other matters would be raised at the Annual Meeting.
Quorum
Article
II, Section 9 of the Company’s Bylaws, states that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the “majority of the votes
entitled to be cast on a matter by a voting group shall constitute a quorum”, which is required in order to transact business
at the Annual Meeting. Each Proposal in this Proxy Statement sets forth the requisite vote for approval of such Proposal.
Cost
of Proxy Distribution and Solicitation
The
proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is being solicited by our Board of Directors. The Company will pay the expenses of the
preparation of the proxy materials and the solicitation by the Board of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company
in person or by telephone, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means by directors, officers or employees of the Company, who
will receive no additional compensation for soliciting. We will also request banks, brokers, and other shareholders of record
to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our Class A Common Stock. If required by the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for
their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Company’s Class A Common
Stock. We anticipate the costs of the preparation and solicitation of proxies to be approximately $10,000.
Continuing
Directors
The
following directors will continue to serve on the Board:
Class
III – John (“JT”) Thatch, elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to serve until the Annual Meeting
of Shareholders in 2021; and
Class
I – Keith R. Halls, elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to serve until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
in 2022.
PROPOSAL
1 - ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR
General
The
Bylaws of the Company provide that the Board shall consist of not less than one or more than fifteen members. Such Bylaws give
the Board the authority to establish, increase or decrease the number of Directors. Currently, the Board has three incumbent members,
including one nominee appointed to fill a recent vacancy. The nominee for election at the Annual Meeting to the Board is Chan
Heng Fai Ambrose (to be elected by the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock). On April 30, 2020, Mr. Chan
was appointed by the Board to serve on the Board to fill the vacancy created by the departure of a Class II Director, as provided
for in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Mr. Chan has advised the Company of his willingness
to serve as a member of the Board if elected. There are no arrangements or understandings between the nominee for director at
the Annual Meeting and any other person pursuant to which such nominee was selected as a nominee. Mr. Chan also serves on the
Board of Directors of Document Security Systems, Inc., a major shareholder of the Company.
If
elected, the nominee will serve as a Class II Director until the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the year 2023,
or until his successor is elected and qualified. If the nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, the proxies
may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holders may designate.
Vote
Required
You
may vote in favor or against the nominee and you may also withhold your vote as to the nominee. Currently, the Board has three
(3) incumbent members, including the nominee. As permitted by the Company’s Bylaws, the Board has set the current size of
the Board at four (4) Directors. The enclosed proxy card can only be voted in favor or against the nominee named in this Proxy
Statement and the accompanying proxy card, and you may also withhold your vote as to the nominee.
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the Class B Common Stock votes cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, provided
a quorum is present, is required for the election of the nominee. For purposes of the vote on this matter, abstentions and broker
non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although each type of vote will
count toward the presence of quorum.
THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE HOLDERS OF THE CLASS B COMMON STOCK VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE ABOVE NOMINEE FOR DIRECTOR
**

PROPOSAL
2 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
At
the last Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders ratified the Board’s appointment of Ankit Consulting
Services, Inc., Certified Public Accountants (“ACS”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit
the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.
The
Board has appointed ACS to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2021.
Although we are not required to seek stockholder ratification of this appointment, the Board believes it to be a matter of good
corporate governance to do so.
You
may vote in favor or against this proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of all classes and series of the Company’s
Stock cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, provided a quorum is present, is required to approve this proposal.
If the appointment of ACS is not ratified, the Board may reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the
Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is
determined that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
ACS
has been notified of the location, date, and time of the Annual Meeting. Representatives of ACS are not required to attend and
have not notified the Company of that they will attend the Annual Meeting, although representatives of ACS are welcome to attend
the meeting if they so choose.
THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ACS AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 2021.

such as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles, must closely consider and be driven by the needs of the Company at any
point in time. The Board has not formally adopted an overall policy requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and
our governing documents do not mandate a particular executive management structure, however, the Board presently observes a policy
of separating the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board reserves the right to modify the leadership
structure as needed to best meet the changing needs of the Company from time to time.
The
Board oversees our shareholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial
strengths. The full Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so in part through discussion
and review of our business, financial and corporate governance practices and procedures. The Board, as a whole, reviews the risks
confronted by the Company with respect to its operations and financial condition, establishes limits of risk tolerance with respect
to the Company’s activities and ensures adequate property and liability insurance coverage.
Meetings
of the Board and Stockholder Communications
During
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, there were four (4) meetings of the Board and 19 actions of the Board by the
unanimous written consent of the Directors in the absence of a Board meeting. Our Board conducted all of its business and approved
all corporate action during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, and during the period from May 1, 2020 to present, in meetings
attended by 100% of the Directors or by the unanimous written consent of 100% of the Directors in the absence of a Board meeting.
Holders of the Company’s securities can communicate with the Board via mail or telephone directed to the Corporate Secretary
at the Company’s principal executive offices.
The
Company has not yet established a policy with respect to Board members’ attendance at Shareholders’ Meetings, although
our Board members are generally in attendance. A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our Board may do so by directing a
written request addressed to our President at the address appearing on the first page of this Proxy Statement.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership. Officers, Directors and greater
than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us by persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, we believe that during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, all such reports were filed in a timely
manner. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, all such reports required of our officers and directors were filed in a timely
manner.
Director
Independence and Board Committees
The
principal market for the Company’s Class A Common Stock is the OTCQB Market, an over-the-counter stock trading platform
operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. Our determination of the independence of Directors is made using the definition of “independent
director” contained in the listing standards of the OTCQB Market. Under such listing standards, a listed company Director
qualifies as “independent” if, among other things, (a) the Director is not an Executive Officer or employee of the
listed company, and (b) the Director does not have a relationship which, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of
directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by the director in carrying out his or her responsibilities
as a director.
Currently,
the Company’s Board of Directors has three incumbent members, including Chan Heng Fai Ambrose. Mr. Chan who was appointed
on April 30, 2020 by the Board to fill the vacancy created by the departure of a Class II Director to serve until the Annual Meeting
of Shareholders in 2023, or until his successor is elected and qualified. Mr. Chan, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will continue
to serve, currently, as our only independent Director. However, the Company is in the process of evaluating qualified candidates
for an additional Independent Director seat to be installed in order to comply with recently amended OTCQB rules.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
We
do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee
or any other committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. Our Board does not believe that it is practical due to the
limited number of directors currently serving, nor necessary to have such committees at this point because it believes the functions
of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board as a whole. A compensation committee made up of members of management,
including non-independent Board members, has been commissioned by the Board and is chartered and operating to assist the Board
with executive compensation-related matters.
We
have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Audit
Committee Financial Expert
The
Board does not currently have an Audit Committee. The duties of members of an Audit Committee are currently carried out by the
Board as a whole.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board of Directors has adopted (i) a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and (ii) a Conflicts of Interest Policy that apply to
our Directors, officers and employees. Copies of these documents are available in print to any person, without charge, upon written
request to our Investor Relations Department at 1700 Coit Road, Suite 100, Plano, Texas 75075.

the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute
an admission of beneficial ownership.

person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of all voting classes of our stock, (ii)
