Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended May 31, 2022, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28,
2022, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein. These factors, or any one of them, may cause

Introduction
This MD&A is focused on material changes in our
financial condition from February 28, 2022, our most recently completed year end, to May 31, 2022, and our results of operations for the
three months ended May 31, 2022, and should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022.
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 Company’s 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.
We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware
and not an operating company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). As a
holding company, we conduct a significant part of our operations through our subsidiaries and through the VIE Agreements with the VIE
based in China. To address challenges resulting from laws, policies and practices that may disfavor foreign-owned entities that operate
within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we use the VIE structure to replicate foreign investment in the PRC-based
companies. We own 100% of the equity of a WFOE, Shanghai JiuGe Business Management Co., Ltd., which has entered into the VIE Agreements
with the VIE, which is owned by Ms. Li Li the legal representative and general manager, and also the shareholder of the VIE. As a result
of our use of the VIE structure, you may never directly hold equity interests the VIE. The securities offered pursuant to this prospectus
are securities of the Company, the Delaware holding company, not of the VIE.
We fund the registered capital and operating expenses
of the VIE by extending loans to the shareholders of the VIE. We believe that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the VIE
Agreements governing the relationship between the VIE and our WFOE, which include a consulting services agreement, a loan agreement, a
power of attorney agreement, a call option agreement, and a share pledge agreement, enable us to (i) exercise effective control over the
VIE, (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIE, and (iii) have an exclusive call option to purchase, at any time,
all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of the VIE to the extent permitted by Chinese laws.

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.

Because we do not directly hold equity interests in
the VIE, we are subject to risks and uncertainties of the interpretations and applications of Chinese laws and regulations, including
but not limited to, the validity and enforcement of the VIE Agreements among the WFOE, the VIE and the shareholder of the VIE. We are
also subject to the risks and uncertainties about any future actions of the Chinese government in this regard that could disallow the
VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and may cause the value of our Common Shares to depreciate
significantly or become worthless.

Table of Contents
The VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct
ownership in providing operational control. For instance, the VIE and its shareholders could breach their contractual arrangements with
us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to
our interests. The shareholder of the VIE may not act in the best interests of our Company or may not perform their obligations under
the VIE Agreements. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate certain portions of our business through the
VIE Agreements with the VIE. In the event that the VIE or its shareholder fail to perform their respective obligations under the VIE
Agreements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. In addition, even if
legal actions are taken to enforce the VIE Agreements, there is uncertainty as to whether Chinese courts would recognize or enforce judgments
of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States
or any state. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the VIE Agreements”. We rely on the VIE Agreements with the VIE and
its shareholder for a significant portion of our business operations. The VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct ownership
in providing operational control. Any failure by the VIE or its shareholder to perform their obligations under such contractual arrangements
would have a material and adverse effect on our business.
As of the date of this periodic report on Form 10-Q,
we and the VIE are not required to seek permissions from the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), or
any other entity that is required to approve of the operations of the VIE. Nevertheless, Chinese regulatory authorities may in the future
promulgate laws, regulations or implement rules that require us, our subsidiaries or the VIEs to obtain permissions from such regulatory
authorities to approve the operations of the VIE or any securities listing.
Overview
The Company operates the following lines of business:
(i) Telecommunications Products and Services; (ii) Value Added Product and Services; (iii) SMS and MMS Services; (iv) a Rich Communication
Services (RCS) platform; (v) Big Data Insights; and (vi) a Video Game Division (inactive).
Telecommunications Products and Services
The Company’s current product mix consisting
of payment and recharge services, data plans, subscription plans, mobile phones, loyalty points redemption and other products bundles
(i.e. mobile protection plans). 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-marketer’s websites, click into their respective
phone provider’s 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 Unicom and 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 JiuGe
Technology, our contractually controlled affiliate through the entry into a series of agreements known as 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, Inner
Mongolia, Henan and Fujian. In September 2018, JiuGe Technology launched and commercialized mobile payment and recharge services to businesses
for China Unicom. In May 2021, JiuGe Technology signed a volume-based agreement with China Mobile Fujian to offer recharge services to
the Fujian province which we have launched and commercialized in November 2021.
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 ”), TMall (“ TMALL ”) and JD.Com (“ JD ”).
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 China’s Mobile’s 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 Unicom’s Yunnan subsidiary. Under
the Cooperation Agreement, JiuGe Technology is responsible for constructing and operating China Unicom’s 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 platform’s webpage in accordance with China Unicom’s 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 with yearly auto-renewal terms, 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
secured a contract with both China Mobile and China Unicom to acquire new users to take up the respective subscription plans.
In February 2021, we increased the mobile phones sales
to end users using all of our platforms. This business will continue to contribute to the overall revenue for the group as part of our
offering to our customers.
Value Added Product and Services
These are new product and services that the Company
expects to secure and work with the telecommunication provider and all our e-commerce platform partners to market. The current and upcoming
value-added product is the Mobile Protection programs which we plan to launch soon. In February 2022, our contractually controlled subsidiary,
JiuGe Technology, through its 99% own subsidiary TengLian signed an agreement with both China Unicom and China Mobile to co-operate to
roll out the Mobile Device protection product which is incorporated into the Telecommunication subscription plans in line with their roll
out of new mobile phones and new 5G phones. The estimated roll out is expected to be in the second quarter of FY2023.
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. FingerMotion’s 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 Technology’s 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 Company’s
customer to meet MIIT’s 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 Company’s 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. The Company applies its vast experience in the insurance and financial
services industry and capabilities in technology and data analytics to develop revolutionary solutions targeted towards insurance and
financial consumers. Integrating diverse publicly available information, insurance and financial based data with technology and finally
registering them into the FingerMotion telecommunications and insurance ecosystem, the Company would be able to provide functional insights
and facilitate the transformation of key components of the insurance value chain, including driving more effective and efficient underwriting,
enabling fraud evaluation and management, empowering channel expansion and market penetration through novel product innovation, and more.
The ultimate objective is to promote, enhance and deliver better value to our partners and customers.
The Company’s 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 insights-driven and technology-enabled solutions and applications including preferred risk selection,
precision marketing, product customization, and claims management (e.g., fraud detection). The Company’s 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.
On or around January 25, 2021, the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary, Finger Motion Financial Company Limited’s, 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.
In December 2021, the Company through JiuGe Technology
formed a collaborative research alliance with Munich Re in extending behavioral analytics to enhance understanding of morbidity and behavioral
patterns in China market, with the goal of creating value for both insurers and the end insurance consumers through better technology,
product offerings and customer 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 Company’s board of directors decided to re-focus the company’s
resources into new business opportunities in China, particularly the mobile phone payment and data business.

We recorded $4,855,123 in revenue for the quarter
ended May 31, 2022, a decrease of $1,141,366 or 19%, compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2021. This decrease resulted from decrease
in revenue of $220,955, $821,696 and $98,715 from our Telecommunication Products & Services, SMS & MMS business and Big Data business,
respectively. The current outbreak of Covid-19 in China and the “lockdown’ in parts of China have slightly affected our operation,
thus seeing the drop in the revenues. As of the date of this report, all operations are slowly moving back to pre-lockdown period. 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 has grown
substantially compared to last year. The growth is expected to flourish further with the Company continuing to make prepayments to purchase
large bulks 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 new
product offerings 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 Company’s 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 FingerMotion’s predictive model to the traditional insurance industry. This division has since recorded revenue
and we expect additional revenue from this division in the future.

Working capital

$ 4,930,441
At May 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents
of $805,548, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $461,933 at February 28, 2022. 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 as explained above to ensure our cash is being used efficiently by our operations to generate revenues. 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 non-traditional 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.
