CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations of forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this Annual Report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, new products, budgets, liquidity, cash flows, projected costs, regulatory approvals or the impact of any laws or regulations applicable to us, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events. While we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements for various reasons. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

●international, national and local general economic and market conditions including impacts from the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions and other measures, changes in the rates of investments or economic growth in key markets we serve, or an escalation of sanctions, tariffs or other trade tensions between the U.S. and China or other countries, and related impacts on our businesses.;
●demographic changes;
●natural phenomena
●the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth;
●the ability of the Company to manage its VIE Agreements;
●the ability of the Company to maintain its relationships and licenses in China;
●adverse publicity;
●competition and changes in the Chinese telecommunications market;
●fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results;
●business disruptions, such as technological failures and/or cybersecurity breaches;
●future decision by management in response to changing conditions;
●our ability to execute prospective business plans;
●misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements;
●our ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out our proposed business plan;
●actions by government authorities, including changes in government regulation;
●dependency on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel;

-i -

●inability to reduce and adequately control operating costs;
●failure to manage future growth effectively; and
●and the other factors discussed below in Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other filings we make with the SEC.

Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements might not prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We wish to advise you that these cautionary remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking statements attributable to our company or persons acting on our company’s behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such statements, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws. You should carefully review the cautionary statements and risk factors contained in this Annual Report and other documents that we may file from time to time with the SEC.

INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS

We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware. As a holding company, we conduct a significant part of our operations through our subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with Shanghai JiuGe Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“JiuGe Technology,” “ourVIE” or “the VIE”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). JiuGe Technology’s sole shareholder, Ms Li Li, is also its legal representative and general manager. 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 provide contractual exposure to foreign investment in Chinese-based companies. We indirectly own 100% of the equity of Shanghai JiuGe Business Management Co., Ltd. (“JiuGe Management,” “our WFOE” or “the WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”), which has entered into contractual arrangements with the VIE (the “VIE Agreements”). The VIE Agreements have not been tested in court. For a description of the VIE structure and our contractual arrangements with the VIE, see “Business – Corporate Information – VIE Agreements”. As a result of our use of the VIE structure, you may never directly hold equity interests in the VIE.

Because we do not directly hold an equity interest in the VIE, which has never been challenged or recognized in court for the time being, 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 contractual arrangements 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 the value of our common stock may depreciate significantly or become worthless. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the VIE Agreements” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China”.

We are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with having a significant portion of our operations in China. Chinese laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result, these risks could result in a material change in our operations, significant depreciation of the value of our common stock, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer our securities to investors. Recently, the Chinese government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China, including those related to the use of VIEs, data security and anti-monopoly concerns. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Company and subsidiaries and the VIE have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any Chinese regulatory authority, nor has any of them received any inquiry, notice or sanction.

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Overseas Listing Trial Measures”) and five guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures have introduced a filing-based regulatory regime that regulates both direct and indirect overseas offerings and listings of PRC domestic companies’ securities. Under the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, if the issuer meets both of the following conditions, any overseas securities offering or listing conducted by such issuer will constitute an indirect overseas offering that is subject to the prescribed filing procedures: (i) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operations and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China. Any such issuer that submits an application for an initial public offering to competent overseas regulators, must make the required filing with the CSRC within three business days following the date of the application. Where a domestic company fails to comply with filing requirements or is otherwise determined to be in violation of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, the CSRC may order rectification, a warning, and impose a fine ranging from RMB1,000,000 to RMB10,000,000. Controlling persons (including directors and officers) of the domestic company that are determined to be responsible for such filing delinquencies or violations can also be sanctioned.

-ii -

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC held a press conference in connection with the release of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures and issued the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, which, among other things, clarified that domestic companies that had been listed overseas on or before the effective date of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures (March 31, 2023) shall be deemed to be “stock enterprises”. Stock enterprises were exempted from having to immediately comply with the filing procedures, with their first filings being deferred to when they undertook a further overseas offering or listing. Generally, we understand that, for these purposes, the filing requirement would apply in respect of securities that are offered in a public overseas offering, and likely to securities that, having been offered in a private overseas offering, become eligible for resale to the public.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, none of our Company, our subsidiaries or the VIE, and none of our officers or directors, has received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanction from the CSRC or any other Chinese governmental authorities, in relation to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures. However, specifics of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, and the administrative rules, policies and practices of the CSRC, are somewhat unclear, and it remains uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our ability to conduct our business, accept investments or list or maintain a listing on a U.S. or foreign exchange. See “Risk Factors— Risks Related to Doing Business in China”.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our subsidiaries and our WFOE have not declared any dividends or made any distributions to our Company. Under Delaware law, a Delaware corporation’s ability to pay cash dividends on its capital stock requires the corporation to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over its capital. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our common stock in the future, as a holding company, we will rely, in part, on payments made from the VIE to our WFOE in accordance with the VIE Agreements, and dividends and other distributions on equity from our WFOE to the Company.

Our ability to settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements is subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Under the VIE Agreements, the VIE is obligated to make payments to our WFOE, in cash or in kind, at the WFOE’s request. However, such payments are subject to Chinese taxes, including a 6% value-added tax (“VAT”) and 25% enterprise income tax. In addition, current Chinese regulations permit our WFOE to pay dividends to our Company, through our subsidiary as the sole shareholder, only out of registered capital amount, if any, as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. If our WFOE incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our WFOE to distribute dividends or other payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business. In addition, any cash dividends or distributions of assets by our WFOE to our Company, through our subsidiary as its shareholder, are subject to a Chinese withholding tax of as much as 10%. The Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion ofRMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through the current VIE Agreements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

Transfer of Cash or Assets

Dividend Distributions

We have never declared or paid dividends or distributions on our common stock. While we had previously disclosed our intention to issue a dividend in kind of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, we have since withdrawn the related registration statement At present, we intend to retain all available funds and any future consolidated earnings to fund our operations and continue the development and growth of our business; therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

Under Delaware law, a Delaware corporation’s ability to pay cash dividends on its capital stock requires the corporation to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over its capital. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future, as a holding company, we will rely on dividends and other distributions on equity from our WFOE for cash requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash contributions to our shareholders. Accordingly, any limitation on the ability of our WFOE to distribute dividends or other payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

-iii -

Our WFOE’s ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings, which is generally calculated with reference to the following rules and restrictions: (a) PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our WFOE only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations; (b) a PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset; (c) profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year; (d) our WFOE 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 reach 50% of our registered capital amount; and (e) current Chinese regulations permit our WFOE to pay dividends to our Company, through our subsidiary as its sole shareholder only out of its registered capital amount, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.

If our WFOE incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

In addition, any cash dividends or distributions of assets by our WFOE to our Company, through our subsidiary as its sole shareholder are subject to a Chinese withholding tax of as much as 10%. Remittance of dividends by our WFOE out of China is also subject to examination by the banks designated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE. For risks relating to the fund flows of our operations in China, see*“Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”*

The Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through the current VIE Agreements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

For us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on payments made from the VIE to our WFOE in accordance with the VIE Agreements, and the distribution of payments from the WFOE to our Company as dividends. Certain payments from the VIE to the WFOE pursuant to the VIE Agreements are subject to Chinese taxes, including a 6% VAT and 25% enterprise income tax.

Our Company’s Ability to Settle Amounts Owed under the VIE Agreements

We transfer cash to our wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Finger Motion (CN) Limited, by making capital contributions or providing loans, and our Hong Kong subsidiary transfers cash to the WFOE in China by making capital contributions. Because we control the VIE through contractual arrangements, we are unable to make direct capital contributions to the VIE and its subsidiaries.

Under the VIE Agreements, the VIE is obligated to make payments to our WFOE, in cash or in kind, at the WFOE’s request. We will be able to settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements through dividends paid by our WFOE to our Company. Such ability may be restricted or limited as follows:

●First, any payments from the VIE to our WFOE is subject to Chinese taxes, including a 6% VAT and 25% enterprise income tax.
●Second, current Chinese regulations permit our WFOE to pay dividends to our Company, through our subsidiary as its sole shareholder, only out of its registered capital amount, if any, as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, if our WFOE incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to our Company.
●Third, the Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from profits, if any.

The VIE may transfer cash to our WFOE by paying service fees according to the consulting services agreement.

Effect of Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and Related SEC Rules.

On December 16, 2021, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) published a report of its formal determinations (the “Determination”) to the effect that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB made these Determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the United States Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”). The report further listed in its Appendix A and Appendix B, Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Mainland China Determination and Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Hong Kong Determination, respectively. The audit report included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 was issued by Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“CZD CPA”), an audit firm headquartered in Hong Kong and therefore identified in Appendix B. It followed that, in June 2022, we were identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer on the SEC’s “Conclusive list of issuers identified under the HFCAA” (available athttps://www.sec.gov/hfcaa

-iv -

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB, after determining that it was now able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, voted to vacate the Determinations. On December 18, 2022, the SEC announced that due to the December 15, 2022 action by the PCAOB, and until such time as the PCAOB issues any new determination, there are no SEC-reporting companies at risk of having their securities subject to a trading prohibition under the HFCAA. As such, as of the date of this filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is not a Commission Identified Issuer under the HFCAA and is not subject to having its Common Stock delisted under HFCAA. In addition, on September 10, 2024, we appointed CT International LLP, based in San Francisco, CA, to replace CZD CPA as our auditor. As a result, we are no longer required to comply with HFCAA submission or disclosure requirements in our annual report covering the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025.

However, the enactment of the HFCAA and the implications of any additional rulemaking efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information in PRC could cause investor uncertainty for affected SEC registrants, including us, and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. If we are unable to meet any future requirements that may be imposed by the PCAOB under the HFCAA, our stock might not be permitted to continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our stock when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our stock. Also, such a delisting would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.
