Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of April 30, 2026. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has concluded that, as
of April 30, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including
the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated changes
in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred
during the quarter ended April 30, 2026, and have concluded that no change has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management ’ s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due
to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
The
Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2026, based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The COSO framework summarizes each
of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control
activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of April 30, 2026.

Business Experience of Directors and Executive Officers
Stephanie
Risk-McElroy , Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, has over thirty years of experience in
the accounting field. Mrs. Risk-McElroy graduated from Hastings College with a degree in Accounting. Stephanie worked for Platte Valley
Sales from May 1990 until January 1997 as a staff accountant. In 1997, she pursued her career with an accounting manager position at
Kershner’s Auto Korner in Hastings, NE. She joined the accounting staff at GRI in 1999 and then was promoted to CFO upon retirement
of the prior CFO. Upon the death of her father, Ken R. Risk, in February 2013, she was appointed to the position of Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer.
Mrs.
Risk-McElroy serves on the Board of Directors of GRI, as a direct link to the financial condition of the Company. She and her staff oversee
all the accounting obligations of the Company. She has knowledge and experience in business outside of the Company that makes her an
asset to the Board. And as President of the Company, she oversees all of the day-to-day operations as well.
Ryan
McElroy , Vice President and the Corporate Secretary, started his career by working on the family farm and ranch. In 1993 he attended
college in McCook, NE for Criminal Justice and worked at the local Radio Shack, moving up to being responsible for opening/closing duties.
After college he moved back to the Sidney, NE area and started working at Wheelers/Country General as a tire tech and soon was moved
up to opening/closing duties. He then became employed as a Jailer with the Cheyenne County Sheriff’s Office and became a Deputy
a few years later. He went back to college in Sidney and studied Information Technology (IT) while working for the Cheyenne County Community
Center. He then went to a local parts store as a counter man then moved up to opening/closing and order entry. He was transferred to
Chappel, NE store where he became Manager until a position opened at GRI as the Purchasing Manager and worked his way up to Vice President
of Operations.
Donna
Debowey , Director, worked in various retail stores and restaurants until she started at GRI in 1968. She started on the production
line, but quickly worked her way up the ranks. She has been a Production Line Supervisor, Director of Quality Control and was named Plant
Manager and Senior Vice President in 1998. She held that position until her retirement in 2003.
Mrs.
Debowey made the transition from employee of GRI to a member of the Board of Directors with no hesitation after her retirement. She brings
her 50+ years of experience in the industry to the table and has a vested interest in seeing the continued success of the Company that
she helped to build.
13
Bonita
P. Risk, Director, attended Wayne State College, in Wayne, Nebraska. Upon returning back home to Columbus, NE, she worked in factory
positions. Upon her marriage to Ken Risk, she became a homemaker, raising 3 children and working at several sales positions. In 1981,
she and Ken started Platte Valley Sales in Hastings, Nebraska, and her expertise was in accounting and sales. For 8 years, she ran the
Hastings business while Ken devoted his time to both GRI in Kimball and Platte Valley Sales in Hastings. Ken and Bonita moved to Kimball
in 1997. In 1998, she began at GRI in sales support. She continues in sales support and became the Company stock transfer agent in 2004
upon the retirement of Eileen Risk and is an assistant to the chief financial officer.
Jerry
Knutsen , Director, has lived in Kimball, Nebraska most of his life. He left the community for a few years to attend the University
of Nebraska at Lincoln. Before his retirement, Jerry owned and operated several businesses over his career, including Knutsen Oil, Inc.,
Marv’s LP Gas, Inc., and Jerry Knutsen, Inc., and he co-owned Kimball Ford-Lincoln-Mercury. He served 24 years and held several
positions on the school board in Kimball, NE. Mr. Knutsen is a past member and president of The Nebraska Propane Gas Association and
The Nebraska Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association. Other boards he is presently serving on include the Kimball Schools
Foundation Board of Directors and Kimball Health Services Board of Trustees.

Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our
equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports
concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors
and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they
file.
Based
solely on our review of copies of the Section 16(a) reports filed for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, we believe that all filing
requirements applicable to our officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.
Code
of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct
The
Company does not have a written code of ethics at this time. The Company is a small business and employees know that the President of
the Company must approve all material business. The Company also has checks and balances to make sure no fraud or illegal activities
take place.
Corporate
Governance
Nominating
and Compensation Committees
We
do not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our Board of Directors believes
that it is not necessary to have a standing compensation committee at this time because our Board of Directors adequately performs the
functions of such committees.
Our
Board of Directors also believes it is appropriate for us not to have a standing nominating committee because our Board has performed
and will continue to perform the functions of a nominating committee adequately. Our Board of Directors has not adopted a charter for
the nomination committee. There have been no defined policies or procedures requiring stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations
for directors. Our Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended
by stockholders is necessary at this time because we believe that, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy
would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.
Audit
Committee
We
do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member
that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board
member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
Other
Committees
All
proceedings of our Board of Directors for the year ended April 30, 2026, were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by our
directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors. Our Company currently has no committees.
