● the
ability of the Company to maintain its relationships and licenses in China;
● adverse
publicity;

ITEM
1. BUSINESS
Company
Overview
FingerMotion
( FingerMotion or the Company ) The Company is a mobile data specialist company incorporated
in Delaware, USA, with its head office located at 1460 Broadway, New York, New York, 10036. The Company operates the following
lines of business: (i) telecommunications products and services; (ii) Short Message Services ( SMS ) and Multimedia
Messaging Services ( MMS ); (iii) a rich communication services ( RCS ) platform; (iv) big
data insights; and (v) a video games division (inactive).
Telecommunications
Products and Services
The
Company has offered telecommunication products and services in China since September 2018, with its current product mix consisting
of payment and recharge services, data plans, subscription plans, mobile phones, and loyalty points redemption. Chinese mobile
phone consumers often utilize third-party e-marketing websites to pay their phone bills. If the consumer connected directly to
the telecommunications provider to pay his or her bill, the consumer would miss out on any benefits or marketing discounts that
e-marketers provide. Thus, consumers log on to these e-marketers websites, click into their respective phone providers
store, and top up, or pay, their telecommunications provider for additional mobile data and talk time.
To
connect to the respective mobile telecommunications providers, these e-marketers must utilize a portal licensed by the applicable
telecommunication company that processes the payment. We have been granted one of these licenses by China United Network Communications
Group Co., Ltd. ( China Unicom ) and China Mobile Communications Corporation ( China Mobile ),
each of which is a major telecommunications provider in China. We principally earn revenue by providing mobile payment and recharge
services to customers of China Unicom and China Mobile.
FingerMotion
started and commercialized its Business to Business ( B2B ) model by integrating with various
e-commerce platforms to provide its mobile payment and recharge services to subscribers or end consumers. In the first quarter
of 2019 FingerMotion expanded its business by commercializing its first Business to Consumer ( B2C )
model, offering the telecommunication providers products and services, including data plans, subscription plans, mobile
phones, and loyalty points redemption, directly to subscribers or customers of the e-commerce companies, such as PinDuoDuo ( PDD )
and TMall ( TMALL ). The Company is planning to further expand its universal exchange platform by setting up
B2C stores on several other major e-commerce platforms in China. In addition to that, we have been assigned as one of Chinas
Mobiles loyalty redemption partner where we will be providing the services for their customers via our platform.

SMS
and MMS Services
In
beginning of 2019, the Company expanded into a second partnership with the telecom companies by acquiring bulk Short Message Service
( SMS ) and Multimedia Messaging Service ( MMS ) bundles at reduced prices and offering
bulk SMS services to end consumers with competitive pricing. FingerMotions subsidiary, Beijing XunLian TianXia Technology
Co., Ltd. ( Beijing Technology ), retains a license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
( MIIT ) to operate the SMS and MMS business in the PRC. Similar to the mobile payment and recharge business,
Beijing Technology is required to make a deposit or bulk purchase in advance and has secured business customers, including premium
car manufacturers, hotel chains, airlines and e-commerce companies, that utilize Beijing Technologys SMS integrated platform
to send bulk SMS text messages monthly. Beijing Technology has the capability to manage and track the entire process, including
guiding the Companys customer to meet MIITs guidelines on messages composed, until the SMS messages have been delivered
successfully.
Rich
Communication Services
In
March 2020, the Company began development of an RCS platform, also known as MaaP (Messaging as a Platform). This RCS platform
will be a proprietary business messaging platform that enables businesses and brands to communicate and service their customers
on the 5G infrastructure, delivering a better and more efficient user experience at a lower cost. For example, with the new 5G
RCS message service, consumers will have the ability to list available flights by sending a message regarding a holiday, and will
also be able to book and buy flights by sending messages. This will allow telecommunication providers like China Unicom and China
Mobile to retain users on their systems, without having to utilize third party apps or log onto the internet, which will increase
their user retention. We expect this to open up a new marketing channel for the Companys current and prospective business
partners.
Big
Data Insights
In
July 2020, the Company launched its proprietary technology platform Sapientus as its big data insights arm to deliver
data-driven solutions and insights for businesses within the insurance, healthcare, and financial services industries. Utilizing
the information gathered via the Companys licensed access to telecommunication data, Sapientus transforms raw telco data
into basic building blocks, statistical measures, and behavioral inferences, while layering in auxiliary contextual information,
to extract behavioral insights and power revolutionary applications for insurance and financial services.
The
Companys proprietary risk assessment engine offers standard and customized scoring and appraisal services based on multi-dimensional
factors. The Company has the ability to provide potential customers and partners with various big data enabled applications including
preferred risk selection, precision marketing, product customization, and claims management (e.g. fraud detection). The Companys
mission is to deliver the next generation of data-driven solutions in the financial services, healthcare, and insurance industries
that result in more accurate risk assessments, more efficient processes, and a more delightful user experience.
Our
Video Game Division
The
video game industry covers multiple sectors and is currently experiencing a move away from physical games towards digital software.
Advances in technology and streaming now allow users to download games rather than visiting retailers. Video game publishers are
expanding their direct-to-consumer channels with mobile gaming, the current growth leader, and eSports and virtual reality gaining
momentum as the next big sectors.
In
June 2018, we temporarily paused its publishing and operating plans for existing games, and the Companys board of directors
decided to re-focus the companys resources into new business opportunities in China, particularly the mobile phone payment
and data business.
Corporate
Information
The
Company was initially incorporated as Property Management Corporation of America on January 23, 2014 in the State of Delaware.
On
June 21, 2017, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the Companys
outstanding common stock, to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares and to change the name of the
Company from Property Management Corporation of America to FingerMotion, Inc. (the Corporate
Actions ). The Corporate Actions and the amended certificate of incorporation became effective on June 21, 2017.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 1460 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, and our telephone number at that address is
(347) 349-5339.

Exchange Agreement
Effective
July 13, 2017, the Company entered into that certain Share Exchange Agreement (the Share Exchange Agreement )
by and among the Company, Finger Motion Company Limited, a Hong Kong corporation ( FMCL ) and certain shareholders
of FMCL (the FMCL Shareholders ). FMCL, a Hong Kong corporation, was formed on April 6, 2016 and is an information
technology company that specializes in operating and publishing mobile games. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company
agreed to exchange the outstanding equity stock of FMCL held by the FMCL Shareholders for shares of common stock of the Company.
On the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued approximately 12,000,000 shares of common stock to the
FMCL shareholders. In addition, the Company issued 600,000 shares to consultants in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Share Exchange Agreement, and 2,562,500 additional shares to accredited investors, which was a concurrent financing but
not a condition of closing the Share Exchange Agreement.
As
a result of the Share Exchange Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereunder, FMCL became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. The Company operates its video game division through FMCL. However, in June 2018, the Company decided to pause
the operation of the game division as it saw the opportunity in the telecommunication business and have since refocused into this
business.
VIE
Agreements

October 16, 2018, the Company, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai JiuGe Business Management Co., Ltd. ( JiuGe
Management ), entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the VIE Agreements )
pursuant to which Shanghai JiuGe Information Technology Co., Ltd. ( JiuGe Technology ) became our contractually
controlled affiliate. The use of VIE agreements is a common structure used to acquire PRC corporations, particularly in certain
industries in which foreign investment is restricted or forbidden by the PRC government. The VIE Agreements include a Consulting
Services Agreement, a Loan Agreement, a Power of Attorney Agreement, a Call Option Agreement, and a Share Pledge Agreement in
order to secure the connection and commitments of the JiuGe Technology. We operate our mobile payment platform business through
JiuGe Technology.
The
VIE Agreements included:
● a
consulting services agreement through which JiuGe Management is mainly engaged in data marketing, technical services, technical
consulting and business consultancy to JiuGe Technology (the JiuGe Technology Consulting Services Agreement );
● a
loan agreement through which JiuGe Management grants a loan to the Legal Representative of JiuGe Technology for the purpose of
capital contribution (the JiuGe Technology Loan Agreement );
● a
power of attorney agreement under which the owner of JiuGe Technology has vested their collective voting control over JiuGe Technology
to JiuGe Management and will only transfer their equity interests in JiuGe Technology to JiuGe Management or its designee(s) (the
JiuGe Technology Power of Attorney Agreement );
● a
call option agreement under which the owner of JiuGe Technology has granted to JiuGe Management the irrevocable and unconditional
right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in JiuGe Technology or transfer these rights to a third party (the JiuGe
Technology Call Option Agreement ); and
● a
share pledge agreement under which the owner of JiuGe Technology has pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in JiuGe
Technology to JiuGe Management to guarantee JiuGe Technologys performance of its obligations under the JiuGe Technology
Consulting Services Agreement (the JiuGe Technology Share Pledge Agreement ).
In
the first half of 2018, JiuGe Technology secured contracts with China Unicom and China Mobile to distribute mobile data for businesses
and corporations in 9 provinces/municipalities, namely Chengdu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Shanghai, Zhuhai, Zhejiang, Shaanxi
and Inner Mongolia.
In
September 2018, JiuGe Technology launched and commercialized mobile payment and recharge services to businesses for China Unicom.
The JiuGe Technology mobile payment and recharge platform enables the seamless delivery of real-time payment and recharge services
to third-party channels and businesses. We earn a negotiated rebate amount from each of China Unicom and China Mobile for all
monies paid by consumers to China Unicom and China Mobile that we process. To encourage consumers to utilize our portal instead
of using our competitors platforms or paying China Unicom or China Mobile directly, we offer mobile data and talk time
at a rate discounted from these companies stated rates, which are also the rates we must pay to them to purchase the mobile
data and talk time provided to consumers through the use of our platform. Accordingly, we earn income on the rebates we receive
from the telecommunications companies, reduced by the amounts by which we discount the mobile data and talk time sold through
our platform.
In
October 2018, China Unicom and China Mobile awarded JiuGe Technology with contracts that established partnerships for data analysis,
that could unlock potential value-added services.

Mobile Cooperation Agreement
In
December 2020, JiuGe Technology entered into a strategic cooperation agreement (the China Mobile Cooperation Agreement )
with China Mobiles subsidiary, China Mobile Financial Technology Co., Ltd. ( China Mobile Financial )
to explore and create a new forward-leaning business model that combines the traditional loyalty point redemption business with
an e-commerce platform designed to create a higher evolution of brand loyalty.
From
the beginning of 2020, JiuGe Technology began actively seeking cooperation with China Mobile Financial, given China Mobiles
years of experience in the financial services industry. Currently, of China Mobiles estimated 900 million subscribers,
only an estimated 600 million currently participate and accumulate points within the loyalty reward program, often referred to
as Points Mall, meaning there is still plenty of room for growth. These estimated 600 million subscribers have accumulated
an aggregate of points worth an estimated 20 billion yuan (approximately US$2.86 billion) (Source: China Securities Journal, China
Mobile will open points ecological stock, customer points worth over 20 billion yuan, Yang Jie, November
15, 2019).
The
Points Mall business is the US equivalent of a loyalty rewards program. The program uses points as
a form of currency that allows users to exchange them for products and services. The loyalty program strives to keep its content
fresh and is on the lookout for partnerships with other unique brands to expand the universe of redemption products and services
offered.

SMS
and MMS Service
Short
Message Service (SMS) remains the only secure and reliable communication medium that connects all telecommunication operators
globally. In 2019, the telecommunications industry in China sent a total of around 1,506 billion SMS, 1 equivalent to
a market size of RMB 39.2 billion (~$5.85 billion), a year-on-year increase of 37.5% compared to 2018. 2 The Company
was responsible for 1.2 billion, or 0.08% of market share.
There
are strict policies imposed by the Chinese government regulating message broadcasting via the SMS protocol. One key metric being
monitored is the rate of public complaints on messages received via SMS, with the aim of fighting spam messages and blocking uncensored
messages.
In
early 2019, the Company completed beta testing of its proprietary SMS Integrated System and the commercialization phase began
in April 2019. The SMS Integrated System provides a robust back-end control panel for corporate partners to access and manage
their own messaging settings. Corporate partners can upload a list of targeted members, compose text or multimedia messages and
define broadcasting settings. All messages must be submitted to the ministry for review before being delivered to telecommunication
operators back-end for broadcasting.
The
mass SMS text message service offers bulk SMS services to end consumers with competitive pricing. Beijing Technology retains a
license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to operate SMS and MMS business in the PRC. Similar to the mobile
payment and recharge business, Beijing Technology is required to make a deposit or bulk purchase in advance, and has secured business
customers that will utilize Beijing Technologys SMS integrated platform to send bulk SMS text messages monthly. Beijing
Technology has the capability to manage and track the entire process, including guiding the Companys customer to meet governments
guidelines on messages composed, until the SMS messages have been delivered successfully
The
Companys SMS Integrated System performs more than 150 million SMS transactions monthly. The Company focuses its efforts
on:
■ Continuously
enhancing the SMS Integrated System to offer a more flexible, reliable, and scalable platform.

■ Working
closely with telecommunication operators in a select few provinces allows the Companys business development team to negotiate
and secure better bulk purchase pricing from time to time.
■ The
Companys corporate partners span various industries such as airlines, insurance and financial services, e-commerce and
consumer markets; diversifying sources of revenue improves the stability of the Companys revenue stream and minimizes seasonal
fluctuations with SMS volume.
Rich
Communication Services (RCS) Platform
Telecommunication
operators around the world have reached consensus on the need to upgrade the operator messaging service from SMS to Rich Communication
Services (RCS) messaging in the 5G era. Worldwide, the GSM Association (GSMA) indicates 90 operators have launched RCS, attracting
473 million users and projecting an estimated value of $74 billion by 2021. 3
On
April 8, 2020, Chinas three major telecommunication operators, namely China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, released
a 5G messaging white paper outlining their commitment to mandate all compatible handsets sold in the country support RCS. 4
5G
messaging service or RCS can support not only Person-to-Person (P2P) messaging, but also Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging.
Through P2P messaging, RCS offers a richer text-messaging system, provides phonebook polling and is capable of transmitting in-call
multimedia features. A2P messaging enables businesses and brands to communicate with users via chatbot, facilitates the sharing
of high-quality videos but also more direct interfacing with the internet; consumers will no longer have to download multiple
mobile apps and can, for instance, directly buy train tickets and book flights by just sending messages.
In
March 2020, the Companys management allocated resources dedicated for the research and development of a RCS platform –
MaaP (Messaging as a Platform). This RCS platform is expected to be a proprietary business messaging platform that enables businesses
and brands to communicate and service their customers on 5G infrastructure, delivering better user experience, more efficiently
and cost effectively. This is expected to open up a new marketing channel for the Companys current and prospective business
partners.
In
the third quarter of the fiscal year ended 2022, the Company anticipates commercializing the following RCS platforms:
RCS
Platform for Telecommunication Products and Services
The
Company intends to launch its own brand on the platform for the telecommunication products and services it currently carries.
The platform is expected to provide the Company with direct access to 5G mobile users. Furthermore, the Company can continue building
and enhancing its brand on the platform serving as the most comprehensive one-stop shop for telecommunication products and services.
RCS
Platform for Partners and Brands
The
Company is targeting to engage larger partners and brands on this new RCS platform. It is currently working and negotiating with
one of the largest phone distributors in China to be among the first partners launching services on the platform.
Big
Data Insights
The
Company launched its proprietary platform Sapientus in July 2020 as its big data insights arm to deliver data-driven
solutions and insights for businesses within the insurance and financial services industries. Leveraging the Companys strong
tech and data backbone, Sapientus specializes in data mining and insights extraction. The Companys flexible data structure
is built from the ground up, by transforming raw telco data into basic building blocks, statistical measures and behavioral inferences,
while layering in auxiliary contextual information, to extract behavioral insights and power revolutionary applications for insurance
and financial services.
Sapientus
equips insurance industry partners with a range of capabilities such as:
■ Behavior
insights and scoring derived from a time series of live telco data, along with an expansive set of auxiliary data, enabling deeper
contextual understanding of a customers behavior propensity and risk inclination for more granular segmentation;

Table of Contents
■ Transactional
integration giving real-time feedback enriched with risk and behavior insights on current and prospective customers, thereby further
promoting digital transformations in the industry – e.g. online underwriting, claims processing and fraud detection, etc.;
and
■ Insight-driven
data analytic services, sufficiently adaptive to incorporate new information such as emerging claim and marketing data, and synchronize
with the Companys partners operating and risk assessment philosophy via continual learning and honing.
Sapientus
deep bench of insurance and data science expertise is expected to attract an expanding client base, supporting risk calibrations
and insights extraction using advanced statistical methods and analytic techniques. The Companys proprietary risk assessment
engine offers standard and customized scoring and appraisal services based on multi-dimensional factors, enabled by extensive
data coverage through exclusive telco partnerships. The Company augments and shares value with its partners through various big
data enabled applications including preferred risk selection, precision marketing, product customization, and claims management
(e.g. fraud detection).
The
Companys mission is to deliver the next generation of data-driven insurance solutions that result in more accurate risk
assessments, more efficient processes and a more delightful customer journey.
The
Company anticipates development of Sapientus in three key stages:
Stage
1: Initialization
During
the initialization stage, the Companys focus on building its brand and honing its rating framework and analytics. To accomplish
this, the Company will be partnering with reinsurers to increase its visibility as well as assimilate its data analytics into
the reinsurers value chain. Potential engagements include underwriting enhancement, market segmentation, product design
as well as facilitation of claims review and adjudication. Revenue during this time will be sourced mainly from offering proprietary
rating system and related services that are customized to fit the Companys reinsurer partners specific needs. Furthermore,
establishing collaborative facilities with reinsurers allows the Company to integrate posterior information (claims, underwriting
experience, and campaign feedback) for improving its scoring / measurement system.

Table of Contents
Stage
2: Expansion
The
expansion stage shifts the Companys revenue focus from offering rating system alone to earning commissions and profit shares
through channel expansion and innovative product designs enabled by more granular customer segmentation. Channel expansion could
be achieved by cross-selling through the Companys affiliated company and brokerage arm, supported by leads generation for
niche marketing and further upselling. In addition, developing customized product solutions with reinsurers will augment value
proposition, offering more personalized and efficient coverage based on the latent risks of individuals. Precision marketing enhances
product take-up rates, while preferred risk selection is expected to attract profitable business and improve portfolio results.
As such, added value can be generated and shared among Sapientus and its (re)insurer and distribution partners.
Stage
3: Integration
As
Sapientus matures, the Company enters the integration stage. Behavioral dynamics can prove to be very versatile in supporting
many possibilities beyond insurance. Having accumulated more diverse data and insights enriches the Companys rating perspective,
enabling it to offer a universal rating platform that can be commonly adopted across the industry. The Companys platform
can be readily integrated with other systems, helping the Company extend reach beyond insurance applications. For example, the
Companys generalized rating system can help conduct smart underwriting for financial loans or craft out consumer behaviors
and risk propensities to inform ecommerce business decisions. The Companys platform can be used standalone as an independent
rating tool, as well as offered as part of an integrated system, joining forces with various ecosystem partners on data access,
customer relationships, advanced analytics, product and service capabilities. Types of value that can be realized through ecosystems
include:
■ Friction
reduction : Creating a one-stop shop or interface for consumers by removing the hassle of switching among multiple providers;
■ Network
effects : Generating synergy value for stakeholders by pooling and sharing information and resources to serve common needs;
and
■ Data
integration : Mining and analyzing available data, applying learnings to deliver convenience and tangible benefits to customers.
Growth
Strategy
The
Companys growth strategy is a multi-pronged approach, continually asking Whats next? and consisting
of the following:
■ Enhancing
PigeonHoles Integration System and the SMS Integrated System . Maintaining a stable and robust platform will give the Company
the flexibility to manage new product offering and packages in order to increase revenue. This will be the key critical success
factor for the Companys expansion plans.
■ Expanding
customer base. Along with the stability of the Companys platform and its ability to access working capital, the Companys
growth will be based on increasing its market share through expanding its base in its current geographic regions of operations
and through expanding its presence into other regions. The Companys offerings can be targeted to a wider group of customers,
which should improve overall revenue.
■ New
Product line expansion. The Company will constantly increase its product offerings from its telco partners by designing new
packages and offerings in order to differentiate the Company from its competition.
■ Enhancing
values. The Company will continue to build brand loyalty and enhance its customer service to ensure customer retention and
repeat sales. In December 2020, the Company signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement for Loyalty Program Business with China Mobile
Financial Technology Co., Ltd. The agreement is to explore and create a new forward-learning business model that combines the
traditional loyalty point redemption business with an e-commerce platform designed to create a higher evolution of brand loyalty.
■ Diversification.
Breaking away from the Companys core and traditional business, the Company is moving into the insurance technology
(insuretech) space with Sapientus and the Companys big data analytics arm. The Company will continue to explore
opportunities in the financial technology services (fintech), healthcare and advertising industries.
■ Focusing
on strength and investing in talent. The Company will continue to build the strongest team in all of its various businesses.
The company will also continue to build its core values to enhance and differentiate its support and services to ensure it is
able to stand out from its competitors.

Sales
and Marketing
■ The
Companys sales and marketing efforts are focused on promoting brand awareness of its JiuGe telecommunication stores currently
operating on most major e-commerce and social media platforms in China.
■ The
Company is continuously planning, in cooperation with its telco partners, seasonal and targeted marketing events in different
provinces and cities.
■ Since
the inception of JiuGe Technology in 2018, the Company has secured contracts and agreements to work with nine 9 online stores
and twenty 20 business partners. The Companys strategy is to expand into the entire China region and to reach out to a
wider base of customers and users that can benefit from the Companys product offerings.
■ The
Companys new agreement with China Mobile on the loyalty redemption business is a step towards the Companys customer
retention strategy that will also enable it to cross-sell additional products and offerings from the Company.
■ The
Company will continue to focus on, and expand, its roster of corporate clients to improve sales in its SMS business, and will
focus on expanding into different industries.
Research
& Development
■ RCS
Platform - As a leader in the 5G ecosystem in China, the Company is developing the RCS platform to strengthen its first-mover
advantage in MaaP (Messaging as a Platform). This messaging platform enables businesses and brands to communicate and service
their customers on 5G infrastructure, delivering a more efficient, more cost efficient, and more robust user experience. This
should open up a new marketing channel for the Companys current and prospective business partners.
■ Big
Data Insights - Beginning in January 2019, the Company has continuously researched industry reports and compiled data
published by researchers and have incorporated its findings into its Sapientus data blocks. By integrating with external data
sources, the Companys R&D departments can develop innovative insuretech and fintech products to the Companys
re-insurance and financial services companies and partners.
Competition
Our
industry is highly competitive, rapidly changing, highly innovative and increasingly subject to regulatory scrutiny and oversight.
We compete against a wide range of businesses, including those that are larger than we are, have a dominant and secure position
or offer other products and services to consumers and merchants that we do not offer. We believe we are in an advantageous position
compared to many of our competitors or potential competitors because we have been granted an exclusive license to act as an authorized
processor of payments in China for China Unicom and China Mobile.
Our
mobile payments business competes principally against two alternatives. First, we compete directly with other holders of licenses
from the major mobile telecommunications providers in China. We understand there are a limited number of these licenses, but believe
that certain other license holders are large, diversified companies with deep financial resources. We also compete with payment
processors that are not authorized licensees of the mobile telecommunications companies but nevertheless provide similar services.
Separately, and more generally, we compete with all forms and methods of paying for additional data and minutes, including credit
and debit cards, other electronic payment platforms and bank transfers.
Because
we have been awarded a contract to process payments for China Unicom and China Mobile and, are therefore, able to offer services
directly to market with value added services, we believe the Company is in an advantageous position as compared to its competition.
We look to take advantage of the position that we have been afforded.
Intellectual
Property
The
Company has sufficient intellectual property rights to operate its mobile payment and recharge platform system. Specifically,
the Company has registered patents for its mobile payment and recharge platform system. The Company will continue to enhance the
system to meet market and consumer demands and requirements. The Company has also implemented strict controls to ensure the safe
and secure keeping of any source codes. 5

Regulation
We
operate in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment characterized by a heightened regulatory focus on all aspects of the payments
industry. That focus continues to become even more heightened as regulators on a global basis focus on such important issues as
countering terrorist financing, anti-money laundering, privacy, cybersecurity and consumer protection. Some of the laws and regulations
to which we are subject were enacted recently, and the laws and regulations applicable to us, including those enacted prior to
the advent of digital and mobile payments, are continuing to evolve through legislative and regulatory action and judicial interpretation.
New or changing laws and regulations, including how such laws and regulations are interpreted and implemented, as well as increased
penalties and enforcement actions related to non-compliance, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of
operations, and financial condition. Therefore, as we grow, we will need to develop the capacity to monitor these areas closely
to design compliant solutions for our customers who depend on us.

Table of Contents
Government
regulation impacts key aspects of our business. We are subject to regulations that affect the payments industry in the markets
in which we operate.
Payments
Regulation . Various laws and regulations govern the payments industry in China, where our mobile payment and recharge platform
principally operates. Our activities in this regard are, or may be, supervised by one or more financial regulatory authorities,
including the Peoples Bank of China. Other national or provincial regulatory agencies may have or assert jurisdiction over
our activities, including agencies and authorities outside of China, if our platform is utilized by consumers in such jurisdictions.
The laws and regulations applicable to the payments industry in any given jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and change.
Anti-Money
Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing . FingerMotion is subject to anti-money laundering ( AML ) laws
and regulations in China, the U.S. and other jurisdictions, as well as laws designed to prevent the use of the financial systems
to facilitate terrorist activities. As we grow our business, we will need to develop an AML program designed to prevent our payment
network from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities, or to do business in
countries or with persons and entities included on designated country or person lists promulgated by the U.S. Department of the
Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Controls ( OFAC ) and equivalent authorities in China and other countries
whose jurisdiction we may become subject as a result of our operations. Any AML and sanctions compliance program we put in place
will need to involve policies, procedures and internal controls designed to address these legal and regulatory requirements and
assist in managing money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
Data
Protection and Information Security. Aspects of our operations or business may be subject to privacy and data protection regulation
in China, the U.S. and elsewhere. In the U.S., we are subject to privacy information safeguarding requirements under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act that require the maintenance of a written, comprehensive information security program, among other laws, which we do not currently
have in place. Regulatory authorities around the world are considering numerous legislative and regulatory proposals concerning
privacy and data protection that may contain additional privacy and data protection obligations than exist today. In addition,
the interpretation and application of these privacy and data protection laws in China, the U.S. and elsewhere are often uncertain
and in a state of flux.
Anti-Corruption .
FingerMotion is subject to applicable anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery
Act, and similar anti-corruption laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit offering,
promising, giving, accepting or authorizing others to provide anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to or from a government
official or private party in order to influence official action or otherwise gain an unfair business advantage, such as to obtain
or retain business.
Additional
Regulatory Developments . Various regulatory agencies continue to examine a wide variety of issues, including virtual currencies,
identity theft, account management guidelines, privacy, disclosure rules, cybersecurity and marketing that may impact the Companys
business.
Compliance
with Environmental Laws
Compliance
with foreign, federal, state and local laws that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment,
or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, have not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings
or competitive position.
Employees
As
of February 28, 2021, we had 69 total employees, of whom all were full time. We have approximately 60 employees in China, 3 employees
in Malaysia, 2 employees in Hong Kong, 1 employee in Taiwan, 2 employees in USA and 1 employee in Canada. We believe that we enjoy
good relations with our employees.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
In
addition to the information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have identified the following material risks and
uncertainties which reflect our outlook and conditions known to us as of the date of this Annual Report. These material risks
and uncertainties should be carefully reviewed by our stockholders and any potential investors in evaluating the Company, our
business and the market value of our common stock. Furthermore, any one of these material risks and uncertainties has the potential
to cause actual results, performance, achievements or events to be materially different from any future results, performance,
achievements or events implied, suggested or expressed by any forward-looking statements made by us or by persons acting on our
behalf. Refer to Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements.
There
is no assurance that we will be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any one or more of the following material
risks and uncertainties may cause on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, which may result in a
significant decrease in the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, there is no assurance that these material risks and
uncertainties represent a complete list of the material risks and uncertainties facing us. There may be additional risks and uncertainties
of a material nature that, as of the date of this Annual Report, we are unaware of or that we consider immaterial that may become
material in the future, any one or more of which may result in a material adverse effect on us. You could lose all or a significant
portion of your investment due to any one of these material risks and uncertainties.

Risks
Related to the Business
We
have a limited operating history and, as a result, our past results may not be indicative of future operating performance.
We
have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast our future results. You should not rely on our past results
of operations as indicators of future performance. You should consider and evaluate our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainty
frequently encountered by companies like ours.
If
we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those described elsewhere in this Risk Factors
section, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, because we have limited
historical financial data and operate in an evolving market, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be
as accurate as they would be if we had a longer operating history or operated in a more predictable market. We have encountered
in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies with limited
operating histories in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or
change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations
and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We
have a history of net losses and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
For
all annual periods of our operating history we have experienced net losses. We generated net losses of approximately $4.3 million,
$3.0 million and $2.9 million for the years ended February 28, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of February 28, 2021, we
had an accumulated deficit of $12.2 million. We have not achieved profitability, and we may not realize sufficient revenue to
achieve profitability in future periods. Our expenses will likely increase in the future as we develop and launch new offerings
and platform features, expand in existing and new markets, increase our sales and marketing efforts and continue to invest in
our platform. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business.
If we are unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur significant losses in the
future and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
If
we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We
are currently experiencing growth in our business. This expansion increases the complexity of our business and has placed, and
will continue to place, strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources and
internal financial control and reporting functions. Our ability to manage our growth effectively and to integrate new employees,
technologies and acquisitions into our existing business will require us to continue to expand our operational and financial infrastructure
and to continue to retain, attract, train, motivate and manage employees. Continued growth could strain our ability to develop
and improve our operational, financial and management controls, enhance our reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and
retain highly skilled personnel and maintain user satisfaction. Additionally, if we do not effectively manage the growth of our
business and operations, the quality of our offerings could suffer, which could negatively affect our reputation and brand, business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The
impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the global economy, our operations and consumer demand for consumer goods
and services remains uncertain, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial
condition and on the market price of our common shares.
In
December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19
has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to
be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, Canada
and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction
in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. Although our operating subsidiaries and contractually
controlled entity report that is operation have not been materially affected at this point, significant uncertainty remains as
to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible
to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. The
COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent weeks. A continuation or worsening
of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access
capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, on the market price of our common shares, and on consumer
demand for consumer services, including those offered by our Company.

Table of Contents
We
depend on our key personnel and other highly skilled personnel, and if we fail to attract, retain, motivate or integrate our personnel,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our
success depends in part on the continued service of our founders, senior management team, key technical employees and other highly
skilled personnel and on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, retain and integrate highly qualified personnel for
all areas of our organization. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to fulfill our current
or future needs. Our competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of our management team or other key employees,
and it may be difficult for us to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. If we are unable
to attract and retain the necessary personnel, particularly in critical areas of our business, we may not achieve our strategic
goals.
Our
concentration of earnings from two telecommunications companies may have a material adverse affect on our financial condition
and results of operations.
We
currently derive a substantial amount of our total revenue through contracts secured with China Unicom and China Mobile. If we
were to lose the business of one or both of these mobile telecommunications companies, if either were to fail to fulfill its obligations
to us, if either were to experience difficulty in paying rebates to us on a timely basis, if either negotiated lower pricing terms,
or if either increased the number of licensed payment portals it permits to process its payments, it could have a material adverse
effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, we cannot
guarantee that the volume of revenue we earn from China Unicom and China Mobile will remain consistent going forward. Any substantial
change in our relationships with either China Unicom or China Mobile, or both, whether due to actions by our competitors, regulatory
authorities, industry factors or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Any
actual or perceived security or privacy breach could interrupt our operations, harm our brand and adversely affect our reputation,
brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
business involves the processing and transmission of our users personal and other sensitive data. Because techniques used
to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage information systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against
us, we may be unable to anticipate or prevent these attacks. Unauthorized parties may in the future gain access to our systems
or facilities through various means, including gaining unauthorized access into our systems or facilities or those of our service
providers, partners or users on our platform, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, service providers, partners,
users or others into disclosing names, passwords, payment information or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used
to access our information technology systems, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, partners or others into manipulating
payment information, resulting in the fraudulent transfer of funds to criminal actors. In addition, users on our platform could
have vulnerabilities on their own mobile devices that are entirely unrelated to our systems and platform but could mistakenly
attribute their own vulnerabilities to us. Further, breaches experienced by other companies may also be leveraged against us.
For example, credential stuffing attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated actors can mask their attacks, making
them increasingly difficult to identify and prevent. Certain efforts may be state-sponsored or supported by significant financial
and technological resources, making them even more difficult to detect.
Although
we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect our users data, prevent data loss and prevent other
security breaches, these security measures cannot guarantee security. Our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable
to cyberattacks or security breaches; also, employee error, malfeasance or other errors in the storage, use or transmission of
personal information could result in an actual or perceived privacy or security breach or other security incident.
Any
actual or perceived breach of privacy or security could interrupt our operations, result in our platform being unavailable, result
in loss or improper disclosure of data, result in fraudulent transfer of funds, harm our reputation and brand, damage our relationships
with third-party partners, result in significant legal, regulatory and financial exposure and lead to loss of confidence in, or
decreased use of, our platform, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any breach of privacy or security impacting any entities with which we share or disclose data (including, for example, our third-party
providers) could have similar effects.
Additionally,
defending against claims or litigation based on any security breach or incident, regardless of their merit, could be costly and
divert managements attention. We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data handling or data
security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or
at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims
against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium
increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have an adverse effect on our reputation,
brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Systems
failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our platform or offerings could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our
systems, or those of third parties upon which we rely, may experience service interruptions or degradation because of hardware
and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes,
floods, fires, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts,
terrorist attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware or other events. Our systems also may be subject to break-ins, sabotage,
theft and intentional acts of vandalism, including by our own employees. Some of our systems are not fully redundant and our disaster
recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Our business interruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover
all of our losses that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of systems failures and similar events.
We
have not experienced any system failures or other events or conditions that have interrupted the availability or reduced or affected
the speed or functionality of our offerings. These events, were they to occur in the future, could adversely affect our business,
reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
The
successful operation of our business depends upon the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile, and other infrastructures
that are not under our control.
Our
business depends on the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile and other infrastructures that are not under our control.
Disruptions in Internet infrastructure or the failure of telecommunications network operators to provide us with the bandwidth
we need to provide our services and offerings could interfere with the speed and availability of our platform. If our platform
is unavailable when platform users attempt to access it, or if our platform does not load as quickly as platform users expect,
platform users may not return to our platform as often in the future, or at all, and may use our competitors products or
offerings more often. In addition, we have no control over the costs of the services provided by national telecommunications operators.
If mobile Internet access fees or other charges to Internet users increase, consumer traffic may decrease, which may in turn cause
our revenue to significantly decrease.
Our
business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of mobile communications systems. The occurrence of an unanticipated
problem, such as a power outage, telecommunications delay or failure, security breach or computer virus could result in delays
or interruptions to our services, offerings and platform, as well as business interruptions for us and platform users. Furthermore,
foreign governments may leverage their ability to shut down directed services, and local governments may shut down our platform
at the routing level. Any of these events could damage our reputation, significantly disrupt our operations, and subject us to
liability, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. We have invested significant
resources to develop new products to mitigate the impact of potential interruptions to mobile communications systems, which can
be used by consumers in territories where mobile communications systems are less efficient. However, these products may ultimately
be unsuccessful.
We
may be subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other proceedings that may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations .
We
may be subject to claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, government investigations and other legal and regulatory proceedings
as our business grows and as we deploy new offerings, including proceedings related to our products or our acquisitions, securities
issuances or business practices. The results of any such claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, government investigations
or other legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not,
could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, be harmful to our reputation, require significant management attention and
divert significant resources. Determining reserves for litigation is a complex and fact-intensive process that requires significant
subjective judgment and speculation. It is possible that such proceedings could result in substantial damages, settlement costs,
fines and penalties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These proceedings
could also result in harm to our reputation and brand, sanctions, consent decrees, injunctions or other orders requiring a change
in our business practices. Any of these consequences could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, under certain circumstances, we have contractual and other legal obligations to indemnify and to incur legal expenses
on behalf of our business and commercial partners and current and former directors and officers.
We
may require additional funding to support our business.
To
grow our business, FingerMotion currently looks to take advantage of the immense mobile phone payment market, estimated at a monthly
gross transaction volume (GTV) is estimated at US$153 billion in 2019 and is expected to increase to US$165 billion by 2024 (source:
https://telecomstechnews.com/news/2019/nov/21/total-mobile-service-revenue-china-hit-165bn-end-2024-reveals-globaldata/ ).
For the Company to continue to grow, the deposit with the Telecoms needs to increase, as the GTV we process is dependent on the
size of the deposit we have with each Telecom. We will likely need to raise additional capital to materially increase the amounts
of these deposits. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities
may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution.
Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities
and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue
business opportunities. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If
we are unable to obtain adequate funding or funding on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to
support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Claims
by others that we infringed their proprietary technology or other intellectual property rights could harm our business.
Companies
in the Internet and technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations
of intellectual property rights. In addition, certain companies and rights holders seek to enforce and monetize patents or other
intellectual property rights they own, have purchased or otherwise obtained. As we gain a public profile and the number of competitors
in our market increases, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. From time to time, third parties
may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against us. Many potential litigants, including some of our
competitors and patent-holding companies, have the ability to dedicate substantial resources to assert their intellectual property
rights. Any claim of infringement by a third party, even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending
against the claim, could distract our management from our business and could require us to cease use of such intellectual property.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, we risk
compromising our confidential information during this type of litigation. We may be required to pay substantial damages, royalties
or other fees in connection with a claimant securing a judgment against us, we may be subject to an injunction or other restrictions
that prevent us from using or distributing our intellectual property, or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing
our offerings or a portion thereof, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
With
respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to seek out a license to continue operations found to be in violation
of such rights, which may not be available on favorable or commercially reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating
expenses. Some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to
us. If a third party does not offer us a license to its intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at all, we may be required
to develop alternative, non-infringing technology, which could require significant time (during which we would be unable to continue
to offer our affected offerings), effort and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Any of these events could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks
Related to Our Securities
Our
stock has limited liquidity.
Our
common stock trades on the OTCQX operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. Trading volume in our shares may be sporadic and the price
could experience volatility. If adverse market conditions exist, you may have difficulty selling your shares.
The
market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control,
including the following:
●
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
●
changes
in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
●
changes
in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
●
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
●
introduction
of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products; and
●
departure
of key personnel.
We
do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We
have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance
the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As
a result, stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize any future
gains on their investment.

If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the
market price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.
The
trading market for our common stock may depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us, our business, our market or our competition. The analysts estimates are based upon their own opinions and are
often different from our estimates or expectations. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, provide
a more favorable recommendation about our competitors or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price
of our securities would likely decline. If few securities analysts commence coverage of us, or if one or more of these analysts
cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which might cause the
price and trading volume of our common stock to decline.
We
are subject to federal legislation to protect investors against corporate fraud.
Federal
legislation, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Act, has resulted in the adoption of various
corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of
these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements
of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the
corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board
of directors independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a code of ethics.
We
have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board
of directors. Additionally, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to
do so. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit
and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance
measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested
directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating
and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such
as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees are made by a majority of directors
who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should consider our current lack of corporate
governance measures in making their investment decisions.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce
timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
As
a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to
improve our internal control over financial reporting. We have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant
resources in order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting.
Our
current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in the conditions in our business.
Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future.
Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement,
could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of
our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting
firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually
be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures
and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other
information, which would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock
Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholders ability to
buy and sell our Common Shares, which could depress the price of our Common Shares.
In
addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have
reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer.
Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable
efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information.
Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will
not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our Common Shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our Common Shares, have an adverse effect
on the market for our Common Shares, and thereby depress our price per Common Share.

Risks
Related to the VIE Agreements
The
PRC government may determine that the VIE Agreements are not in compliance with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations
JiuGe
Management manages and operates the mobile data business through JiuGe Technology pursuant to the rights its holds under the VIE
Agreements. Almost all economic benefits and risks arising from JiuGe Technologys operations are transferred to JiuGe Management
under these agreements.
There
are risks involved with the operation of our business in reliance on the VIE Agreements, including the risk that the VIE Agreements
may be determined by PRC regulators or courts to be unenforceable. Our PRC counsel has provided a legal opinion that the VIE Agreements
are binding and enforceable under PRC law, but has further advised that if the VIE Agreements were for any reason determined to
be in breach of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion
in dealing with such breach, including:
●
imposing
economic penalties;
●
discontinuing
or restricting the operations of JiuGe Technology or JiuGe Management;
●
imposing
conditions or requirements in respect of the VIE Agreements with which JiuGe Technology or JiuGe Management may not be able
to comply;
●
requiring
our company to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations;
●
taking
other regulatory or enforcement actions that could adversely affect our companys business; and
●
revoking
the business licenses and/or the licenses or certificates of JiuGe Management, and/or voiding the VIE Agreements.
Any
of these actions could adversely affect our ability to manage, operate and gain the financial benefits of JiuGe Technology, which
would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
ability to manage and operate JiuGe Technology under the VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct ownership.
We
conduct our mobile data business in the PRC and generate virtually all of our revenues through the VIE Agreements. Our plans for
future growth are based substantially on growing the operations of JiuGe Technology. However, the VIE Agreements may not be as
effective in providing us with control over JiuGe Technology as direct ownership. Under the current VIE arrangements, as a legal
matter, if JiuGe Technology fails to perform its obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to (i) incur substantial
costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and (ii) rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which we cannot be sure would
be effective. Therefore, if we are unable to effectively control JiuGe Technology, it may have an adverse effect on our ability
to achieve our business objectives and grow our revenues.
As
the VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law, we would be required to rely on PRC law to enforce our rights and remedies under them;
PRC law may not provide us with the same rights and remedies as are available in contractual disputes governed by the law of other
jurisdictions.
The
VIE Agreements are governed by the PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitral proceedings pursuant to
PRC law. If JiuGe Technology or its shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the VIE Agreements, we would be required
to resort to legal remedies available under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, or claiming
damages. We cannot be sure that such remedies would provide us with effective means of causing JiuGe Technology to meet its obligations
or recovering any losses or damages as a result of non-performance. Further, the legal environment in China is not as developed
as in other jurisdictions. Uncertainties in the application of various laws, rules, regulations or policies in PRC legal system
could limit our liability to enforce the VIE Agreements and protect our interests.

The
payment arrangement under the VIE Agreements may be challenged by the PRC tax authorities.
We
generate our revenues through the payments we receive pursuant to the VIE Agreements. We could face adverse tax consequences if
the PRC tax authorities determine that the VIE Agreements were not entered into based on arms length negotiations. For
example, PRC tax authorities may adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes which could result in our being subject to
higher tax liability or cause other adverse financial consequences.
Shareholders
of JiuGe Technology have potential conflicts of interest with our company which may adversely affect our business.
Li
Li is the legal representative and general manager, and also a shareholderof JiuGe Technology. There could be conflicts that arise
from time to time between our interests and the interests of Ms. Li. There could also be conflicts that arise between us and JiuGe
Technology that would require our shareholders and JiuGe Technologys shareholders to vote on corporate actions necessary
to resolve the conflict. There can be no assurance in any such circumstances that Ms. Li will vote her shares in our best interest
or otherwise act in the best interests of our company. If Ms. Li fails to act in our best interests, our operating performance
and future growth could be adversely affected.
We
rely on the approval certificates and business license held by JiuGe Management and any deterioration of the relationship between
JiuGe Management and JiuGe Technology could materially and adversely affect our business operations.
We
operate our mobile data business in China on the basis of the approval certificates, business license and other requisite licenses
held by JiuGe Management and JiuGe Technology. There is no assurance that JiuGe Management and JiuGe Technology will be able to
renew their licenses or certificates when their terms expire with substantially similar terms as the ones they currently hold.
Further,
our relationship with JiuGe Technology is governed by the VIE Agreements that are intended to provide us with effective control
over the business operations of JiuGe Technology. However, the VIE Agreements may not be effective in providing control over the
application for and maintenance of the licenses required for our business operations. JiuGe Technology could violate the VIE Agreements,
go bankrupt, suffer from difficulties in its business or otherwise become unable to perform its obligations under the VIE Agreements
and, as a result, our operations, reputations and business could be severely harmed.
If
JiuGe Management exercises the purchase option it holds over JiuGe Technologys share capital pursuant to the VIE Agreements,
the payment of the purchase price could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Under
the VIE Agreements, JiuGe Technologys shareholders have granted JiuGe Management an option for the maximum period of time
permitted by law to purchase all of the equity interest in JiuGe Technology at a price equal to one dollar or the lowest applicable
price allowable by PRC laws and regulations. As JiuGe Technology is already our contractually controlled affiliate, JiuGe Managements
exercising of the option would not bring immediate benefits to our company, and payment of the purchase prices could adversely
affect our financial position.
Risks
Related to Doing Business in China
Changes
in Chinas political or economic situation could harm us and our operating results.
Economic
reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government
could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations
and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:
●
Level
of government involvement in the economy;
●
Control
of foreign exchange;
●
Methods
of allocating resources;
●
Balance
of payments position;
●
International
trade restrictions; and
●
International
conflict.
The
Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
or OECD, in many ways. For example, state-owned enterprises still constitute a large portion of the Chinese economy and weak corporate
governance and a lack of flexible currency exchange policy still prevail in China. As a result of these differences, we may not
develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy was similar to those of the OECD member
countries.

Uncertainties
with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
We
conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiary and affiliate in the PRC. Our principal operating subsidiary
and affiliate, JiuGe Management and JiuGe Technology, are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in
China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes,
and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws
and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However,
since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always
uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available
to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources
and management attention. In addition, most of our executive officers and all of our directors are not residents of the United
States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult
for investors to effect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against
our Chinese operations, subsidiary and affiliate.
You
may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.
We
are a Delaware holding company, but Finger Motion (CN) Limited is a Hong Kong company, and our principal operating affiliate and
subsidiary, JiuGe Technology and JiuGe Management, are located in the PRC. Most of our assets are located outside the United States
and most of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and officers are nationals and
residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the
United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons.
It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments predicated on the civil liability provisions of the U.S.
federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the
substantial majority of whose assets are located outside the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the
courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are
provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with
the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or
on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition
and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in
the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates
basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or the public interest. Therefore, it is uncertain whether a PRC
court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.
The
PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
The
PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy
through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations,
including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other
matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations
of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such
regulations or interpretations.
Accordingly,
government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a
more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant
effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest
we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.
Future
inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.
In
recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During
the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%. These factors have led to the
adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of
credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls
on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market
for our products and our company.
- 21 -
Table of Contents
Restrictions
on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.
The
majority of our revenues will be settled in Chinese Renminbi (RMB), and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit
our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other
payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the
RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested
enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China
authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment
and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange
accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent
restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.
Fluctuations
in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.
The
value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB and between those
currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative
to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change
in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend
we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments
we make in the future.
Since
July 2005, the RMB is no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the Peoples Bank of China regularly intervenes in the
foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate
significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities
may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.
Very
limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not
entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness
of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign
currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign
currencies.
Restrictions
under PRC law on our PRC subsidiarys ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect
our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to our shareholders, and
otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.
Substantially
all of our revenue is earned by JiuGe Management, our PRC subsidiary. PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary
to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our
PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and
regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax
profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50%
of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable
to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to transfer funds
to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our
business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure
to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject
our PRC resident shareholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our
PRC subsidiary or affiliate, limit our PRC subsidiarys and affiliates ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise
materially adversely affect us.
In
October 2005, the Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange ( SAFE ), issued the Notice on Relevant
Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside
China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before
establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing
outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued
by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover
the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire control over
domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC
residents funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore
financings; (3) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated
company or unrelated assets in China; and (4) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain
documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas
financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase
or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in
any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these
filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation
date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was
subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange
transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply
with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties
under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPVs
affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer
or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.
We
have advised our shareholders who are PRC residents, as defined in Circular 75, to register with the relevant branch of SAFE,
as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiary
and affiliate. However, we cannot provide any assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they
have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with, all applicable registrations or approvals required
by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether
SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our
present and prospective PRC subsidiarys and affiliates ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the
remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC
resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures
required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or
the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident shareholders
to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions,
restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiarys and affiliates ability to make
distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.
Under
the New EIT Law, we may be classified as a resident enterprise of China. Such classification will likely result
in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.
Under
the New EIT Law effective on January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside China with de facto management bodies
within China is considered a resident enterprise, meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese
enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as substantial
and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties of the enterprise.

April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese
Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies,
or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the New EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group
controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by
a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise if (i) its
senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel
decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate
chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management
often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income
and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders. However, it remains unclear
as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person. Nor are detailed measures
on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities
will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

Given
the above conditions, although unlikely, we may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax
authorities determine that we are a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable
PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable
income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on
financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although
under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would qualify as tax-exempt
income, we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange
control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound
remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible
that future guidance issued with respect to the new resident enterprise classification could result in a situation
in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by
our non-PRC shareholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of resident enterprise
treatment.
If
we were treated as a resident enterprise by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S.
and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.
We
may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination
that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We
are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments
to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the
purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and we earn the majority of our
revenue in China. PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized
payments or offers of payments by our executive officers, employees, consultants, sales agents or other representatives of our
Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these
practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective,
and the executive officers, employees, consultants, sales agents or other representatives of our Company may engage in conduct
for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or
civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and
financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations
committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
Because
our business is located in the PRC, we may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls, which
we are required to do in order to comply with U.S. securities laws.
PRC
companies have historically not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, which includes
strong corporate governance, internal controls and, computer, financial and other control systems. Some of our staff is not educated
and trained in the Western system, and we may have difficulty hiring new employees in the PRC with such training. As a result
of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial
data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western
standards. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our
internal controls, which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with Commission
rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance
could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on us as a result of legal fees, the diversion of managements time

Introduction
The
following discussion summarizes the results of operations for each of our fiscal years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29,
2020 and our financial condition as at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, with a particular emphasis on fiscal 2021, our
most recently completed fiscal year.
Overview
The
Company operates the following lines of business: (i) telecommunications products and services; (ii) SMS and MMS service; (iii)
a rich communication services (RCS) platform; (iv) big data insights; and (v) a video game division (inactive).
Telecommunications
Products and Services
The
Companys current product mix consisting of payment and recharge services, data plans, subscription plans, mobile phones,
and loyalty points redemption. Chinese mobile phone consumers often utilize third-party e-marketing websites to pay their phone
bills. If the consumer connected directly to the telecommunications provider to pay his or her bill, the consumer would miss out
on any benefits or marketing discounts that e-marketers provide. Thus, consumers log on to these e-marketers websites,
click into their respective phone providers store, and top up, or pay, their telecommunications provider
for additional mobile data and talk time.
- 26 -
Table of Contents
To
connect to the respective mobile telecommunications providers, these e-marketers must utilize a portal licensed by the applicable
telecommunication company that processes the payment. We have been granted one of these licenses by China United Network Communications
Group Co., Ltd. ( China Unicom ) and China Mobile Communications Corporation ( China Mobile ),
each of which is a major telecommunications provider in China. We principally earn revenue by providing mobile payment and recharge
services to customers of China Unicom and China Mobile.
We
conduct our mobile payment business through Shanghai JiuGe Technology Co., Ltd. ( JiuGe Techology ), our contractually
controlled affiliate through the entry into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the VIE Agreements )
in October 2018. In the first half of 2018, JiuGe Technology secured contracts with China Unicom and China Mobile to distribute
mobile data for businesses and corporations in nine provinces/municipalities, namely Chengdu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Shanghai,
Zhuhai, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. In September 2018, JiuGe Technology launched and commercialized mobile payment and
recharge services to businesses for China Unicom.
The
JiuGe Technology mobile payment and recharge platform enables the seamless delivery of real-time payment and recharge services
to third-party channels and businesses. We earn a rebate from each telecommunications company on the funds paid by consumers to
the telecommunications companies we process. To encourage consumers to utilize our portal instead of using our competitors
platforms or paying China Unicom or China Mobile directly, we offer mobile data and talk time at a rate discounted from these
companies stated rates, which are also the rates we must pay to them to purchase the mobile data and talk time provided
to consumers through the use of our platform. Accordingly, we earn income on the rebates we receive from China Unicom and China
Mobile, reduced by the amounts by which we discount the mobile data and talk time sold through our platform.
FingerMotion
started and commercialized its Business to Business ( B2B ) model by integrating with various
e-commerce platforms to provide its mobile payment and recharge services to subscribers or end consumers. In the first quarter
of 2019 FingerMotion expanded its business by commercializing its first Business to Consumer ( B2C )
model, offering the telecommunication providers products and services, including data plans, subscription plans, mobile
phones, and loyalty points redemption, directly to subscribers or customers of the e-commerce companies, such as PinDuoDuo ( PDD )
and TMall ( TMALL ). The Company is planning to further expand its universal exchange platform by setting up
B2C stores on several other major e-commerce platforms in China. In addition to that, we have been assigned as one of Chinas
Mobiles loyalty redemption partner where we will be providing the services for their customers via our platform.
Additionally,
as previously disclosed, on July 7, 2019, JiuGe Technology, our contractually controlled affiliate, entered into that certain
Yunnan Unicom Electronic Sales Platform Construction and Operation Cooperation Agreement (the Cooperation Agreement )
with China Unicoms Yunnan subsidiary. Under the Cooperation Agreement, JiuGe Technology is responsible for constructing
and operating China Unicoms electronic sales platform through which consumers can purchase various goods and services from
China Unicom, including mobile telephones, mobile telephone service, broadband data services, terminals, smart devices
and related financial insurance. The Cooperation Agreement provides that JiuGe Technology is required to construct and operate
the platforms webpage in accordance with China Unicoms specifications and policies, and applicable law, and bear
all expenses in connection therewith. As consideration for the service it provides under the Cooperation Agreement, JiuGe Technology
receives a percentage of the revenue received from all sales it processes for China Unicom on the platform. The Cooperation Agreement
expires three years from the date of its signature, but it may be terminated by (i) JiuGe Technology upon three months
written notice or (ii) by China Unicom unilaterally.
During
the recent fiscal year, the Company expanded its offering under their telecommunication product and services by increasing their
product line revenue streams. In March 2020, FingerMotion secure a contract with both China Mobile and China Unicom to acquire
new users to take up the respective subscription plans. Recently, in February 2021, we increased the mobile phones sales to end
users using all of our platforms.
SMS
and MMS Services
On
March 7, 2019, the Company through JiuGe Technology acquired Beijing XunLian TianXia Technology Co., Ltd. ( Beijing Technology ),
a company in the business of providing mass SMS text services to businesses looking to communicate with large numbers of their
customers and prospective customers. With this acquisition,the Company expanded into a second partnership with the telecom companies
by acquiring bulk Short Message Service (SMS ) and Multimedia Messaging Service ( MMS )
bundles at reduced prices and offering bulk SMS services to end consumers with competitive pricing. FingerMotions subsidiary,
Beijing Technology, retains a license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) to
operate the SMS and MMS business in the PRC. Similar to the mobile payment and recharge business, Beijing Technology is required
to make a deposit or bulk purchase in advance and has secured business customers, including premium car manufacturers, hotel chains,
airlines and e-commerce companies, that utilize Beijing Technologys SMS integrated platform to send bulk SMS text messages
monthly. Beijing Technology has the capability to manage and track the entire process, including guiding the Companys customer
to meet MIITs guidelines on messages composed, until the SMS messages have been delivered successfully.

Rich
Communication Services
In
March 2020, the Company began development of an RCS platform, also known as MaaP (Messaging as a Platform). This RCS platform
will be a proprietary business messaging platform that enables businesses and brands to communicate and service their customers
on the 5G infrastructure, delivering a better and more efficient user experience at a lower cost. For example, with the new 5G
RCS message service, consumers will have the ability to list available flights by sending a message regarding a holiday and will
also be able to book and buy flights by sending messages. This will allow telecommunication providers like China Unicom and China
Mobile to retain users on their systems, without having to utilize third party apps or log onto the internet, which will increase
their user retention. We expect this to open up a new marketing channel for the Companys current and prospective business
partners.
Big
Data Insights
In
July 2020, the Company launched its proprietary technology platform Sapientus as its big data insights arm to deliver
data-driven solutions and insights for businesses within the insurance, healthcare, and financial services industries. Utilizing
the information gathered via the Companys licensed access to telecommunication data, Sapientus transforms raw telco data
into basic building blocks, statistical measures, and behavioral inferences, while layering in auxiliary contextual information,
to extract behavioral insights and power revolutionary applications for insurance and financial services.
The
Companys proprietary risk assessment engine offers standard and customized scoring and appraisal services based on multi-dimensional
factors. The Company has the ability to provide potential customers and partners with various big data enabled applications including
preferred risk selection, precision marketing, product customization, and claims management (e.g. fraud detection). The Companys
mission is to deliver the next generation of data-driven solutions in the financial services, healthcare, and insurance industries
that result in more accurate risk assessments, more efficient processes, and a more delightful user experience.
Our
Video Game Division
The
video game industry covers multiple sectors and is currently experiencing a move away from physical games towards digital software.
Advances in technology and streaming now allow users to download games rather than visiting retailers. Video game publishers are
expanding their direct-to-consumer channels with mobile gaming, the current growth leader, and eSports and virtual reality gaining
momentum as the next big sectors.
In
June 2018, we temporarily paused its publishing and operating plans for existing games, and the Companys board of directors
decided to re-focus the companys resources into new business opportunities in China, particularly the mobile phone payment
and data business.
Recent
Developments
On
December 2, 2020, our contractually controlled subsidiary, Shanghai JiuGe Information Technology Co., Ltd., and China Mobile Financial
Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Mobile, signed a strategic cooperation agreement to explore and create a new forward-leaning
business model that combines the traditional loyalty point redemption business with an e-commerce platform designed to create
a higher evolution of brand loyalty.
On
December 11, 2020, our board of directors approved an increase in the number of directors on the board of directors of the Company
from three members to four members and appointed Ng Eng Ho as a director of the Company to fill such vacancy created by the increase
in the number of members on the board of directors of the Company. On the same day, Martin Shen resigned as CFO of the Company
and the board of directors appointed Lee Yew Hon as the CFO of the Company.
On
or around January 25, 2021, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Finger Motion Financial Company Limiteds, big
data analytic arm branded Sapientus, entered into a services agreement with Pacific Life Re, a global life reinsurer
serving the insurance industry with a comprehensive suite of products and services.
Recently,
our contractually controlled subsidiary, Shanghai JiuGe Information Technology Co., Ltd., successfully entered into a volume-based
contract with China Mobile Fujian with respect to our SMS services.

Products & Services, SMS & MMS business and Big Data business, respectively. We principally earn revenue by providing
mobile payment and recharge services to customers of telecommunications companies in China. Specifically, we earn a negotiated
rebate amount from the telecommunications companies for all monies paid by consumers to those companies that we process. As we
continue to develop our mobile recharge business, we expect that revenues will continue to grow. Our SMS texting service grows
substantially compare to last year when it was recently acquired. The growth will be expected to flourish further with the Company
continuing putting prepayment to purchase large bulk of inventories to be resold to our increasing corporate clientele. We also
earned revenue during the most recently completed fiscal year from our new venture on subscription plan acquisition and mobile
phone sales. The Company expects and hopes that these product offering will continue to provide additional revenue for the Company
in the future. During the last quarter of the fiscal year, our Big Data division secured a contract with Pacific Life Re, a global
life reinsurance serving the insurance industry with comprehensive suite of products and services, to develop a holistic multi-faceted
risk rating concept, leveraging the Companys proprietary approach to analytics by drawing data from novel sources and filtering
them through advance algorithms with the ultimate goal to apply new insights generated from our FingerMotions predictive
model to the traditional insurance industry. This division has since recorded revenue and we expect additional revenue from this
division in the future.

Share
Compensation Expenses
The
following table sets forth the Companys share compensation expenses for the periods indicated:
Year Ended
February 28, 2021
Year Ended
February 29, 2020
Share compensation expenses
$ 640,394
$ 970,988
We
incurred fees of $640,394 in share issuance for consultants in consideration of the services which have been provided to the company
for the year ended February 28, 2021 as compared to $970,988 for the year ended February 29, 2020.
Operating
Expenses
We
recorded $5,871,877 in operating expenses for the year ended February 28, 2021 as compared to $4,031,803 in operating expenses
for the year ended February 29, 2020. The increase of $1,840,074 or 46% for the year ended February 28, 2021 is as set forth above.
Net
Loss attributable to the Companys shareholders
The
net loss attributable to the Companys shareholders was $4,381,974 for the year ended February 28, 2021 and $3,004,365 for
the year ended February 29, 2020. The increase in net loss attributable to the Companys shareholders of $1,377,609 or 46%
resulted primarily from the increase in total operating expenses as discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
following table sets out our cash and working capital as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020:

$ 102,919
Working capital (deficiency)
$ 2,992,232
$ (322,445 )
At
February 28, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $850,717 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $102,919 at February
29, 2020. In order for us to continue to operate our mobile payment business, we must deposit funds with our telecommunication
companies from time to time in order to obtain access to the mobile data and talk-time we make available to consumers on our portal.
Accordingly, the amount of cash we have on hand fluctuates significantly from period to period. The Company otherwise does not
have any planned capital expenditures and has historically funded its operations from revenues and sales of securities, including
convertible debt securities. We believe that our cash on hand, cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with our revenues
from operations, will fund our projected operating requirements, fund our current operations and repay our outstanding indebtedness,
in each case, for at least the next 12 months. However, to grow our business substantially, we will need to increase the amount
of funds we have deposited with the telecommunications companies for which we process mobile recharge payments. Accordingly, we
expect to seek additional capital through public or private sales of our equity or debt securities, or both. We might also enter
into financing arrangements with commercial banks or nontraditional lenders. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that
we will be able to raise additional funding from the sale of our equity or debt securities, or both, in order to increase our
deposits with our telecommunications company clients, or if available, that such funding will be on terms acceptable to us.
We
currently do not have any financing arrangements in place. We did, however, raise $5,886,500 through the sale of shares of our
common stock in private placement transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 during
the year ended February 28, 2021.

Cash
Flow used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased
by $1,712,478 in the year ended February 28, 2021 compared to the year ended February 29, 2020, primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivable of $1,437,329 (2020: $2,168,175), increase in other receivable of $906,265 (2020: $575,146), increase in inventories
of $1,401 (2020; $nil) and decrease in accounts payable of ($230,118) (2020: $1,464,474), offset by a decrease in prepayment and
deposit of $1,975,673 (2020: $87,313), increase in accrual and other payables of $2,509 (2020: $747,674) and increase in lease
liability of $3,191 (2020: $nil).

Flow used in Investing Activities
During
the year ended February 28, 2021, investing activities used cash of $238,485 compared to $17,237 during the year ended February
29, 2020. The increase by $221,248 in cash used in investing activities from the year ended February 28, 2021 as compared to February

activities provided cash of $5,174,600 compared to $1,301,386 during the year ended February 29, 2020. The increase of $3,873,214
in the year ended February 28, 2021 was primarily due to decrease in due to related parties, loan from non-controlling stockholder
and proceeds from issuance of shares of our common stock.
Off-balance
sheet arrangements
There
are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that is material to investors.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.
GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.
- 32 -
Table of Contents
Variable
interest entity
Pursuant
to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 810,
Consolidation (ASC 810), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements,
the financial statements of its variable interest entities (VIEs). ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated if
that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs
residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys
the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.
Under
ASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the reporting entity
has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the
VIEs economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially
be significant to the VIE. The reporting entitys determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence
of kick-out rights or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de - facto agents, have
the unilateral ability to exercise those rights. JiuGe Technologys actual stockholders do not hold any kick-out rights
that affect the consolidation determination.
Through
the VIE agreements, the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of JiuGe Technology. Accordingly, the results of JiuGe Technology
have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. JiuGe Technology has no assets that are collateral for
or restricted solely to settle their obligations. The creditors of JiuGe Technology do not have recourse to the Companys
general credit.
Certain
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company relies on cloud-based hosting through a global accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources
are available; however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.
Identifiable
Intangible Assets
Identifiable
intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over 3-10 years. Similar to tangible property and equipment, the Company
periodically evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold
improvements, and (iv) finite – lived intangible assets.
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result
of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for
possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group
to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash
flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined
through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market
values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
The
Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair
values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived
assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic
trends, and internal factors such as the Companys business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.
Accounts
Receivable and Concentration of Risk
Accounts
receivable, net is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect, or the net realizable value. The Company provides a provision
for allowances that includes returns, allowances and doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company
estimates its provision for allowances based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts
receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Companys estimate of the provision for allowances will change.
- 33 -
Table of Contents
Lease
Operating
and finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value
of the future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company
utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing
rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company
would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar
economic environment. The right-of-use asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement
date. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven
throughout the lease term. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease
when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks,
which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from three to seven
years. Land is classified as held for sale when management has the ability and intent to sell, in accordance with ASC Topic 360-45.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
(loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects
of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.
FASB
Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (ASC 260), Earnings Per Share, requires that employee equity
share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in
computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted
and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the treasury stock method for equity
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive
securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share
as their impact was antidilutive.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) beginning on January 1, 2018 using the
modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entitys contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core
principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance
obligations are satisfied. The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and
current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including
the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus
agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue
recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Companys consolidated
financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.
The
Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to
its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence
of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Companys
technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or
determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable. We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances
where we design a custom website and separately offer other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for
when services are performed.

Table of Contents
Income
Taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized
as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred
tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
Non-controlling
interest
Non-controlling
interests held 1% shares of one of subsidiary is recorded as a component of our equity, separate from the Companys equity.
Purchase or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results
of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss
of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized
in earnings.
Recent
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not believe recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of FingerMotion, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of FingerMotion, Inc. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial
Doubt about the Companys Ability to continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

1 – Nature of Business and basis of Presentation
FingerMotion,
Inc. fka Property Management Corporation of America (the Company) was incorporated on January 23, 2014 under the laws of
the State of Delaware. The Company then offered management and consulting services to residential and commercial real estate property
owners who rent or lease their property to third party tenants.
The
Company changed its name to FingerMotion, Inc. on July 13, 2017 after a change in control. In July 2017 the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Finger Motion Company Limited (FMCL), a Hong Kong corporation that is an information technology company
which specialize in operating and publishing mobile games.
Pursuant
to the Share Exchange Agreement with FMCL, effective July 13, 2017 (the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to
exchange the outstanding equity stock of FMCL held by the FMCL Shareholders for shares of common stock of the Company. At the Closing
Date, the Company issued 12,000,000 shares of common stock to the FMCL shareholders. In addition, the Company issued 600,000 shares to
other consultants in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement.
The
transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the
shareholders of FMCL effectuated control of the post-combination Company. For accounting purposes, FMCL was deemed to be the accounting
acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of FMCL (i.e., a capital transaction
involving the issuance of shares by the Company for the shares of FMCL). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results
of operations of FMCL became the historical financial statements of FingerMotion, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and the Companys
assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with FMCL beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible
assets or goodwill were recorded in this transaction.
As
a result of the Share Exchange Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereunder, FMCL became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. FMCL, a Hong Kong corporation, was formed in April 6, 2016.
On
October 16, 2018, the Company through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai JiuGe Business Management Co., Ltd. (JiuGe
Management), entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the VIE Agreements) pursuant
to which Shanghai JiuGe Information Technology Co., Ltd. (JiuGe Technology) became JiuGe Managements contractually
controlled affiliate. The use of VIE agreements is a common structure used to acquire PRC corporations, particularly in certain industries
in which foreign investment is restricted or forbidden by the PRC government. The VIE Agreements include a Consulting Services Agreement,
a Loan Agreement, a Power of Attorney Agreement, a Call Option Agreement, and a Share Pledge Agreement in order to secure the connection
and commitments of the JiuGe Technology.
On
March 7, 2019, JiuGe Technology also acquired 99% of equity interest of Beijing XunLian (BX), a subsidiary that provides
bulk distribution of SMS messages for JiuGe customers at discounted rates.
Finger
Motion Financial Company Limited was incorporated on January 24, 2020 and is 100% owned by FingerMotion, Inc. The company has been activated
for the insurtech business during the last quarter of the fiscal year where the Big Data division secured its first contract and recorded
revenue.
Shanghai
TengLian JiuJiu Information Communication Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated on December 23, 2020 for the purpose of venturing into
the mobile phone sales in China. It is 99% owned by JiuGe Technology .
During
the fiscal year, JiuGe Technology has disposed of its 99% owned subsidiary, Suzhou BuGuNiao Digital Technology Co., Ltd which was established
to venture into R&D projects.

Principles
of Consolidation and Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Variable
interest entity
Pursuant
to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 810, Consolidation
(ASC 810), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of its
variable interest entities (VIEs). ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated if that company is subject to a majority of
the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which
a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity,
and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.
Under
ASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the reporting entity has
both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIEs
economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant
to the VIE. The reporting entitys determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence of kick-out rights
or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de - facto agents, have the unilateral ability
to exercise those rights. JiuGe Technologys actual stockholders do not hold any kick-out rights that affect the consolidation
determination.
Through the VIE agreements disclosed in Note 1, the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of JiuGe Technology. Accordingly, the results
of JiuGe Technology have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. JiuGe Technology has no assets that are
collateral for or restricted solely to settle their obligations. The creditors of JiuGe Technology do not have recourse to the Companys
general credit.
The
following assets and liabilities of the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of
the Company as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020:

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other
information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company relies on cloud-based hosting through a global accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources are available;
however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.
Identifiable
Intangible Assets
Identifiable
intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over 3-10 years. Similar to tangible property and equipment, the Company periodically
evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements,
and (iv) finite – lived intangible assets.
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology,
economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the
Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying
value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the
extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted
cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
The
Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values
of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets
are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends,
and internal factors such as the Companys business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.
Accounts
Receivable and Concentration of Risk
Accounts
receivable, net is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect, or the net realizable value. The Company provides a provision
for allowances that includes returns, allowances and doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates
its provision for allowances based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.
It is reasonably possible that the Companys estimate of the provision for allowances will change.
Lease
Operating
and finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the
future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company utilizes its
incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from
information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow
on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The right-of-use
asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets
also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise
that option.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which
have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from three to seven years. Land is
classified as held for sale when management has the ability and intent to sell, in accordance with ASC Topic 360-45.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
(loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of
potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.
FASB
Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (ASC 260), Earnings Per Share, requires that employee equity share
options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted
earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited,
unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the treasury stock method for equity instruments granted in share-based
payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive
securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) beginning on January 1, 2018 using the modified
retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from the entitys contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an
entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that
it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
The
Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices
to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations,
transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company
concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606
and therefore there was no material changes to the Companys consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.
The
Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers.
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
(2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Companys technology is used to
provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection
of fees is probable. We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances where we design a custom website and separately
offer other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for when services are performed.
F- 11
Table of Contents
Note
2 - Summary of Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income
Taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized
as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred
tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
Non-controlling
interest
Non-controlling
interests held 1% shares of one of subsidiary is recorded as a component of our equity, separate from the Companys equity.
Purchase or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results
of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss
of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized
in earnings.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not believe recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
Note
3 - Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,205,728 and $7,826,754 as at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 respectively,
and had a net loss of $4,378,074 and $3,000,094 for the years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively.
The
Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations,
implement its business model, and ultimately, attain profitable operations. The Company will need to secure additional funds through
various means, including equity and debt financing or any similar financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain additional equity or debt financing, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any additional
equity or debt financing may involve substantial dilution to the Companys stockholders, restrictive covenants or high interest
costs. The Companys long-term liquidity also depends upon its ability to generate revenues and achieve profitability.

We
recorded $16,683,570 and $9,131,294 in revenue, respectively, for the years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. The

net operating losses in U.S., respectively. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future
taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable
income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company concludes that it is more-likely-than-not
that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance has been
provided for the full value of the deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence
exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance. At February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, the

We
did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.
ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of
the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based
on such evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, as discussed
in more detail below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not completely effective as of February 28, 2021. Management
has continued to monitor the implementation of the remediation plan described below.
Managements
annual report on internal control over financial reporting
The
Companys internal control over financial reporting ( ICFR ) is designed under the supervision of our
Chief Executive Officer, acting in the capacity of principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, acting in the
capacity of principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Companys ICFR includes those policies and procedures
that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the Companys assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Companys receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of the Companys management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR for the Company. Our management assessed
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2021 in accordance with
the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (the COSO Framework ). As a quickly growing development-stage company with limited resources, management
is in the process of building the necessary infrastructure of controls, following the COSO Framework, to ensure that more stringent
policies and procedures will be in place in the near future. However, based on our current review, management concluded that,
during the period covered by this report, material weaknesses in ICFR existed due to the limited number of persons responsible
for the recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of segregation of duties, and the limited size of our management
team in general. We are in the process of evaluating methods of improving our internal control over financial reporting, including
the possible addition of financial reporting staff and the increased segregation of financial reporting responsibility, and intend
to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to correct these material weaknesses.
In
addition to the material weaknesses identified above, management has begun implementing the following measures:
● finalizing
a Corporate Governance Policy that will further align the Companys governance procedures with the requirements noted in
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and
● finalizing
a comprehensive Code of Conduct, which reflects the overall corporate principles, policies and values that will also provide the
overall guidance for our control procedures.

Table of Contents
Notwithstanding
the assessment that our ICFR was not effective as of February 28, 2021 and that there are material weaknesses as identified herein,
we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the period covered thereby in all material respects. We are committed to continuing to improve
our internal control processes and we intend to undertake measures to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and
generally strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We will also continue to further review, optimize, and enhance
our financial reporting controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable
remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls
are operating effectively.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over
financial reporting. The attestation report by our registered public accounting firm was not required pursuant to rules of the
SEC that permit us to provide only our managements report on internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
Except
for the remediation procedures being implemented by the Company as described above, there have been no other changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the
last quarter of our fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section
16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common
stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished
to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations
of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal
year ended February 28, 2021, except as follows:

Director
Independence
We
evaluate the independence of our directors in accordance with the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (NASDAQ)
and the regulations promulgated by the SEC. NASDAQs rules require that a majority of the members of a companys board
of directors must qualify as independent, as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Because our securities
are not listed on NASDAQ or any other national securities exchange, we are not required to have a board of directors comprised
of a majority of independent directors. Nevertheless, after review of all relevant transactions and relationships between each
director, or any of his family members, and us, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, our
board of directors has determined that the following directors, which comprise a majority of the members of our board of directors,
are independent directors within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards: Leong Yew Poh, Michael Chan and Ng Eng Ho.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors has no standing committees. Accordingly, the entire Board acts as the audit committee. The Board has determined
that Mr. Chan, Mr. Leong and Mr. Ng all meet the definition of an audit committee financial expert under the rules
of the SEC. Because our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, like the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange,
we are not subject to any listing rules that require us to maintain a standing compensation committee or nominating and corporate
governance committee. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the entire board should be responsible for compensation, nomination
and governance matters. We believe that this is appropriate because our board of directors is relatively small, consisting of
only four directors, because our board comprises a majority of independent directors and because it reduces administrative burdens
on the Company and the Board.

Outstanding
Equity Awards Held by Named Executive Officers at Fiscal Year End
As
of February 28, 2021, no named executive officer held any vested or unvested unexercised options to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock, shares of unvested restricted stock or other awards under any Company equity incentive plan.
Pension
Plan Benefits
We
have no pension plans that provide for payments or benefits at, following or in connection with retirement.
Compensation
Policies and Practices and Risk Management
One
of the responsibilities of our Board, in its role in setting executive compensation and overseeing our various compensation programs,
is to ensure that our compensation programs are structured so as to discourage inappropriate risk-taking. We believe that our
existing compensation practices and policies for all employees, including executive officers, mitigate against this risk by, among
other things, providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives. These equity incentives have
historically been in the form of stock grants to promote long-term rather than short-term financial performance and to encourage
employees to focus on sustained stock price appreciation. The Board as a whole is responsible for monitoring our existing compensation
practices and policies and investigating applicable enhancements to align our existing practices and policies with avoidance or
elimination of risk and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value.
Director
Compensation
Each
of our directors receives regular cash compensation of $2,000 to $4,000 per month, for serving on the Board. In addition, the
Board has from time to time granted unrestricted stock awards to each director then serving on the Board. The following table

(1) Under
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any
contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to
vote, or to direct the voting of such security; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition
of the security. Certain shares of common stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example,
persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially
owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of
the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares of
common stock outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by
reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock of any person as shown in
this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares
of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this Proxy Statement. As of May 20, 2021, there were 38,668,494 shares
of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding.
