Dear
Stockholder:
We
are furnishing the enclosed information statement to you in connection with a proposal to increase our authorized capital from
75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Authorized
Capital Increase”).
WE
ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
Our
sole director reviewed and approved the Authorized Capital Increase by consent resolutions dated April 30, 2018. The holders of
a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock also approved the Authorized Capital Increase by written consent dated April
30, 2018. However, pursuant to applicable securities laws the Authorized Capital Increase will not be effected until at least
20 days after a definitive information statement has been sent to our stockholders who did not previously consent to the Authorized
Capital Increase.
By

INFORMATION
STATEMENT
Introduction
The
holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock have taken an action by written consent without a meeting, pursuant
to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, to approve an increase in our authorized capital from 75,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Authorized Capital Increase”).
The purpose of the Authorized Capital Increase is to reorganize our capital structure and provide flexibility to issue additional
shares of our common stock, which management believes will better position us to attract financing.
This
information statement is being filed pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and provided to our stockholders pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act.
WE
ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and our common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets under the trading symbol BKCT. We were formerly
a fully-reporting Exchange Act company but became delinquent in mid-2016; however, we are currently in the process of preparing
all of our outstanding annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q in order to bring our continuous disclosure record
up to date.
Information
about us can be found our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information about us can be found in our public filings that can be
accessed electronically by means of the SEC’s home page on the Internet at http://www.sec.gov as well as by other means
from the offices of the SEC.
We
will incur all costs associated with preparing, printing and mailing this information statement.
Item
1. Information Required by Items of Schedule 14A
Date,
Time and Place Information
There
will not be a meeting of our stockholders to approve the Authorized Capital Increase and we are not required to hold a meeting
under the Nevada Revised Statutes when a corporate action has been approved by the written consent of holders of a majority of
our stock entitled to vote on the matter. This information statement is being mailed on or about May 30, 2018 to the holders of
our stock as of April 30, 2018.
Dissenters’
Right of Appraisal
Under
the Nevada Revised Statutes, our stockholders do not have dissenters’ rights in connection with the Authorized Capital Increase.
Voting
Securities and Principal Holders Thereof
The
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to consent to the Authorized Capital Increase was April 30, 2018 (the
“Record Date”). As of that date, we had 63,928,163 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001.
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter that may come before a meeting or vote of
our stockholders.
The
Authorized Capital Increase was approved by the holders of a majority of our stock entitled to vote on the Record Date. The vote
required to approve the Authorized Capital Increase was 50% of the shares entitled to vote plus one vote, a simple majority. The
actual affirmative vote was 50.76% of the shares.
Under
applicable securities laws, we are not permitted to effect the Authorized Capital Increase until at least 20 days after we distribute
a definitive information statement to our stockholders who have not previously consented to the corporate action.
