SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance, anticipated expenses, or projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include the following:

	●	the availability and adequacy of our cash flow to meet our requirements;

	●	economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our local and regional markets;

	●	general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our clients, including but not limited to the impact of COVID-19;

	●	changes or developments in laws, regulations or taxes in our industry;

	●	there are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) laws, rules, and regulations;

	●	competition in our industry;

	●	the loss of or failure to obtain any license or permit necessary or desirable in the operation of our business;

	●	proceedings brought by the SEC against China-based accounting firms could result in our inability to file future financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.;

	●	changes in our business strategy, capital improvements or development plans;

	●	the availability of additional capital to support capital improvements and development; and

	●	other risks identified in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, or joint ventures we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Leader Capital Holdings Corp.,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Leader Capital Holdings Corp. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries.

The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. However, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has adopted August 31 as its fiscal year end. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on amended Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As of February 28, 2022, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and records an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $27,497,353 and $2,887,051, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s profit generating operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through cash flows from operations, loans from existing directors and shareholders and placements of capital stock for additional funding. In the event that the Company requires additional funding to finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, a shareholder has indicated the intent and ability to provide additional financing. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company’s businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s services and harm its business and results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on its business or results of operations at this time.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the Company’s business, and adversely impact its results of operations. The Company expects uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Its estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its consolidated financial statements.

Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business combination

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations.” The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

When there is a change in ownership interests that result in a loss of control of a subsidiary, the Company deconsolidates the subsidiary from the date control is lost. Any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary.

Goodwill and impairment of Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed and is not amortized (“Goodwill”). The total amount of Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

The Company estimates fair value of the applicable reporting unit or units using a discounted cash flow methodology. This methodology represents a level 3 fair value measurement as defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, since the inputs are not readily observable in the marketplace. The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, including projected sales, gross margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate, all of which are subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. When the Company performs goodwill impairment testing, its assumptions are based on annual business plans and other forecasted results, which it believes represent those of a market participant. The Company selects a discount rate, which is used to reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows based on the best information available as of the date of the impairment assessment. Based on the annual impairment analysis, there is no impairment on the goodwill recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

Given the current macro-economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its potential impact on the Company’s business, there can be no assurance that its estimates and assumptions used in its impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows are not achieved, it is possible that an impairment review may be triggered and goodwill may be impaired.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

Software Development Costs

The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products and, as a result, development costs that meet the criteria for capitalization were not material for the periods presented.

The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.

No development costs were expensed as general and administrative expenses for the six and three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s 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 recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASU 2014-09:

Step 1: Identify the contract

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price

Step 5: Recognize revenue

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Provision of investment platform services

The Company signed an agreement with a third party whereby the Company authorized the third party to use the Company’s JFB platform and related applications for a period until December 31, 2020. Income from provision of investment platform services with the use of the Company’s mobile applications is recognized when the service is performed.

From September, 2020, the Company generated additional revenue from a new, more comprehensive mobile application, which refer to as the FinMaster mobile application (the “FinMaster App” and together with the JFB platform, the “Apps”), with similar functions as the JFB platform. Income from providing investment platform services with the use of a mobile application is recognized when the service is performed.

The Company offers a self-managed points program, which can be used in the FinMaster App to redeem merchandise or services. The Company determines the value of each point based on estimated incremental cost. Customers and advocates have a variety of ways to obtain the points. The major accounting policy for its points program is described as follows:

The Company concludes the bonus points offered linked to the purchase transaction of the points is a material right and accordingly a separate performance obligation according to ASC 606, and should be taken into consideration when allocating the transaction price of the point sales. The Company also estimates the probability of points redemption when performing the allocation. The amount allocated to the bonus points as separate performance obligation is recorded as contract liability (deferred revenue) and revenue should be recognized when future goods or services are transferred. The Company will continue to monitor when and if forfeiture rate data becomes available and will apply and update the estimated forfeiture rate at each reporting period.

Since historical information is limited for the Company to determine any potential points forfeitures and most merchandise can be redeemed without requiring a significant amount of points compared with the amount of points provided to users, the Company has used an estimated forfeiture rate of zero.

Provision of software development service and maintenance service

The Company entered into several agreements with third party customers to assist the customers in the development of their mobile communications software and mobile e-commerce software. Income from provision of software development service and maintenance service are recognized when the service is performed.

The Company entered into a Customized App Development Agreement with a third-party learning educational service company, providing the online and offline learning opportunities across different subjects.. The Company plans to deliver an app and the follow-up maintenance service. As of February 28, 2022, the Company commenced the preparation work and will start to work towards the goal of commencing service in phases from the third quarter of current fiscal year. For the six and three months ended February 28, 2022, no revenue was generated from this customer.

Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenues that had not yet been recognized, and include deferred revenues; invoices that have been issued to customers but were uncollected and have not been recognized as revenues; and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenues in future periods. As of February 28, 2022, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $2,853, which it expects to recognize as revenues over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.

The Company had not occurred any costs to obtain contracts.

The Company does not have amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods or services is transferred. The contract liabilities consist of advance payments from customers. The contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a customer-by-customer basis at the end of each reporting period. All contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year and are included in other payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Contract balances

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of receipts in advance for software development and FinMaster App. Below is the summary presenting the movement of the Company’s contract liabilities for the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021:

SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT LIABILITIES

Receipt in advance	2021			2020

Balance as of September 1	$	16,225		$	2,896
Advances received from customers related to unsatisfied performance obligations		2,677			9,760
Revenue recognized from beginning contract liability balance		(15,948	)		(2,990	)
Exchange difference		(101	)		296
Balance as of February 28	$	2,853		$	9,962

Practical Expedients and Exemption

The Company has not incurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are primary comprised of charges for R&D and consulting work performed by third parties; salaries and benefits for those employees engaged in research, design and development activities; costs related to design tools; and allocated costs.

For the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, the total R&D expenses were $261,179 and $304,565, respectively.

For the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, the total R&D expenses were $114,896 and $157,594, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing and promotional expenses, salaries and other compensation-related expenses to sales and marketing personnel. Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs for the promotion of corporate image and product marketing. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred and classifies these costs under sales and marketing expenses. For the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, advertising costs totaled $240,049 and $143,828, respectively. For the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, advertising costs totaled $29,446 and $46,467, respectively.

From September 2019, customers or users of the FinMaster App can obtain points through any other ways such as account registration referral to the FinMaster App, frequent sign-ins to the application and sharing articles from the application to users’ own social media, etc. The Company believes these points are to encourage user engagement and generate market awareness. As a result, the Company accounts for such points as sales and marketing expenses with a corresponding liability recorded under other current liabilities of its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets upon the points offering. The Company estimates liabilities under the customer loyalty program based on cost of the merchandise that can be redeemed, and its estimate of probability of redemption. At the time of redemption, the Company records a reduction of inventory and other current liabilities.

Since historical information is limited for the Company to determine any potential points forfeiture and most merchandise can be redeemed without requiring a significant amount of points compared with the amount of points provided to users, the Company has used an estimated forfeiture rate of zero.

For the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, redeemable point liability charged as sales and marketing expenses were $7,487 and $26,902, respectively.

For the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, redeemable point liability charged as sales and marketing expenses were $4,318 and $14,561, respectively.

As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, liabilities recorded related to unredeemed points were $82,043 and $75,648, respectively, which were included in other payables (note 8).

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits for employees involved in general corporate functions, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, legal and other professional services fees, rental and other general corporate related expenses.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on an average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company records inventory write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts. If the inventory on hand is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written off. The Company also reviews inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires the determination of the estimated selling price of the vehicles less the estimated cost to convert inventory on hand into a finished product. Once inventory is written-down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

Inventory as of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021 represents merchandise inventory which can be redeemed by deducting membership rewards points of customer loyalty program.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance to combine the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for operating leases associated with the Company’s office space lease, and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities-current and operating lease liabilities-non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

		Expected useful life
Furniture and fixture		3
Office equipment		3
Leasehold improvement		3

Intangible assets

The Company recorded intangible assets with definite lives, including investment platform and technical know-hows. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization with no residual value. Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets are listed below:

Investment platform		5 years
Technical know-hows		8 years
Trademarks		10 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (including amortizable intangible assets)

The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment has been recorded by the Company for the six and three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021.

Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. As of February 28, 2022, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company conducts business in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income/(loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

	February 28, 2022			February 28, 2021			February 28, 2022			February 28, 2021
	For the six months ended						For the three months ended
	February 28, 2022			February 28, 2021			February 28, 2022			February 28, 2021

Net loss	$	(4,496,286	)	$	(6,227,407	)	$	(2,377,399	)	$	(2,570,347	)
Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - Basic and diluted*		165,431,246			139,224,402			170,033,710			141,553,018
Net loss per share - Basic and diluted	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.02	)

Including 1,600,000 shares converted from convertible notes but not yet issued and 4,578,868 shares granted and vested but not yet issued for the period ended February 28, 2022; and including 58,333 shares that were granted and vested but not yet issued for the period ended February 28, 2021.

As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, the Company’s convertible notes payable were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the vesting period or immediately if fully vested and non-forfeitable. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Additionally, ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Before the adoption of this guidance, the equity-classified share-based awards held by non-employees were subject to re-measurement through each vesting date. Upon the adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer re-measures equity-classified share-based awards granted to consultants or non-employees at each reporting date through the vesting date and the accounting for these share-based awards to consultants or non-employees and employees was substantially aligned.

Cancellation of a share-based payment by the entity results in accelerated recognition of any unrecognised cost. Cancellation by the counterparty does not change recognition of the compensation cost. The termination of an employee that resulted in the forfeiture of share-based awards is not considered to be a cancellation of the awards.

Foreign Currencies Translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiary in Seychelles, the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong maintains its books and record in United States Dollars (“US$”), Renminbi (“RMB”), New Taiwanese Dollars (“NT$”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) respectively, which are the primary currencies of the economic environment in which the entities operate (the functional currencies).

In general, for consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of retained earnings.

Translation of amounts from foreign currencies into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

	As of February 28, 2022		As of August 31, 2021

Period-end HK$ : US$ 1 exchange rate		7.80		7.80
Period-end NT$ : US$ 1 exchange rate		28.04		27.66
Period-end RMB : US$ 1 exchange rate		6.31		6.46

	February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021
	For the six months ended,
	February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021

Period average HK$ : US$ 1 exchange rate		7.80		7.80
Period average NT$ : US$ 1 exchange rate		27.79		28.45
Period average RMB : US$ 1 exchange rate		6.39		6.61
Foreign currency exchange rate		6.39		6.61

Related Parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or an individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability to, directly or indirectly, control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Convertible instruments

The Company accounts for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” (“ASC 815”) requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments, when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”). Under ASC 470-20 the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 815. Under ASC 815, a portion of the proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract are allocated to the fair value of the derivative. The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, balances due with directors and shareholders, convertible notes payable and bonds payable, approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments or the rate of interest of these instruments approximate the market rate of interest.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Carrying Value at
	August 31, 2021		Fair Value Measurement at August 31, 2021
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Convertible notes measured at fair value	$	990,000	$	-	$	-	$	990,000

			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Carrying Value at
	February 28, 2022		Fair Value Measurement at February 28, 2022
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Convertible notes measured at fair value	$	518,000	$	-	$	-	$	518,000

A summary of changes in financial liabilities for the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

	2022			2021

Balance at September 1	$	990,000		$	104,000

Conversion of convertible notes		(1,632,000	)		-
Balance at February 28	$	518,000		$	1,237,000

Fair value of the convertible notes is determined using the binomial model using the following assumptions at inception and on subsequent valuation dates:

Segment reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Management determined the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: the provision of investment platform services through mobile application.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on September 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature that is not clearly and closely related to the host contract, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. This modification will reduce the issue discount and result in less non-cash interest expense in financial statements. ASU 2020-06 also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by ASU 2020-06 are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement assessment by removing the requirements to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and only if adopted as of the beginning of such fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective September 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the two-step Goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss was measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s Goodwill with the carrying amount of that Goodwill. ASU 2017-04 requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a Goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total Goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). Adoption of the ASUs is on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, the standard will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires certain annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early application is permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to all transactions that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application or retrospectively to those transactions. The Company does not expect the impact of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

3. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES

On August 17, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary JFB, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of NPI, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020, among the Company, JFB, NPI, the selling shareholders of NPI identified therein (each a “Seller,” and, collectively, the “Sellers”) and the representative of the Sellers identified therein.

After the completion of the Acquisition, NPI became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company completed the valuations necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting from which the amount of Goodwill was determined and recognized as of the respective acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date, August 31, 2020.


Cash and cash equivalents	$	185,117
Prepayments, deposits and other receivables		145,228

Less: Outstanding NPI debt owed to the Company
Accounts receivable		989,854
Notes payable		(3,066,617	)
	$	1,429,279

The transaction resulted in a purchase price allocation of $2,974,364 to Goodwill, representing the financial, strategic and operational value of the transaction to the Company. Goodwill is attributed to the premium that the Company paid to obtain the value of the business of NPI and the synergies expected from the combined operations of NPI and the Company, the assembled workforce and their knowledge and experience in provision of products and projects utilizing NPI’s technical know-hows. The total amount of the Goodwill acquired is not deductible for tax purposes.

The balances of the Goodwill as of February 28, 2022 and 2021 are as follows

During the course of the Company’s strategic review of its operations, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets. The impairment charge, if any, represented the excess of carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets over their fair value, using the expected future discounted cash flows. No impairment loss of intangible asset was recognized for the six and three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021.

As of February 28, 2022, amortization expenses related to intangible assets for future periods are estimated to be as follows:

A summary of the major terms of the Agreements are presented as follows:

SCHEDULE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

	Principal amount	Issue date		Maturity date	Interest rate
Jui-Chin Chen	100,000		March 18, 2020	March 18, 2022	6%

Teh-Ling Chen	100,000		January 15, 2021	January 15, 2023	6%
	$900,000

On March 18, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured note in the principal amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum, to a shareholder – Jui-Chin Chen. On August 17, 2020, the Company amended the Note and the Agreement, wherein, at the sole option of the applicable noteholder, all or part of the unpaid outstanding principal of such noteholder’s Note would be convertible into shares of restricted common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.40 per share. On March 23, 2022, the Company further amended the Note and the Agreement with the noteholder, mutually agreed to cancel the conversion option and to repay the principal in two instalments and accrued interest during that period before October 31, 2022.

On November 2, 2020, the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum, to a shareholder – Teh-Ling Chen. The note is due on November 2, 2022 and unsecured.

On November 25, 2020, the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $200,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum, to a shareholder – Chin-Chiang Wang. The Note is due on November 25, 2022 and unsecured.

On November 25, 2020, the Company issued several Notes in the total principal amount of $400,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum, to shareholders – Chin-Ping Wang and Chin-Nan Wang. The notes are due on November 25, 2022 and unsecured. On January 24, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Notes with these two shareholders, wherein, at the sole option of the applicable noteholder, all or part of the unpaid outstanding principal of such noteholder’s Notes would be convertible into shares of restricted common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.25 per share. On January 26, 2022, the shareholders submitted conversion notices to the Company converting all of the outstanding balances of their Notes into an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion was approved by the Company on January 31, 2022 and the shares were issued on March 15, 2022.

On January 15, 2021, the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum, to a shareholder – Teh-Ling Chen. The note is due on January 15, 2023 and unsecured.

For each of the Notes, the Company is entitled to a one-year extension. The outstanding principal amounts of the notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders into common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. Each of the noteholders may convert part of the principal outstanding in increments of $10,000 or multiples of $10,000 at any time. Accrued interest, if any, will be forfeited on any principal amount being converted.

The conversion feature is dual indexed to the Company’s stock, and is considered an embedded derivative which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815.

ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value election can be made instrument by instrument and shall be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election.

The Company elected to measure the Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income or loss at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 815-15-25.

The fair value of the Notes of $518,000 as of February 28, 2022 is determined using the binomial model, one of the option pricing methods. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgment and the Company’s best estimates of the probability of occurrence of future events, such as fundamental changes, on the valuation date. Under the binomial valuation model, the Company uses a weighted risk-free and risk interest rate (the combination of the risk free rate plus the credit spread for the underlying Notes) weighted by the probability of conversion as internally solved out by binomial model in discounting its cash flows. The main inputs to this model include the underlying share price, the expected share volatility, the expected dividend yield, the risk free and risk interest rate.

During the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, interest of $20,670 and $2,712 were incurred on the Notes, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, interest of $7,170 and $755 were incurred on the Notes, respectively.

It is a ready-made application created to meet the needs of financial service providers, especially trust companies and insurance companies. The platform is customizable and each financial institution can adjust the platform to better suit their client’s needs.

We had an agreement with a third party whereby we authorized the third party to use our investment platform and related applications until December 31, 2020 for a fee. The agreement terminated on December 31, 2020.

We developed a new, comprehensive mobile application, the FinMaster App. The FinMaster App intends to offer one-stop solution for multi-facet financial services. Key services include real-time Taiwan stock market quotes, financial industry information and news, social media activities, on-line live broadcast, A.I. stock selection and other features. With more than 380,000 downloads of the FinMaster App, we continue to collect data as well as user feedback to enhance current APP features and fine tune R&D plans to optimize customer experience.

On August 17, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary JFB, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of Nice Products Inc., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and the Company’s software developer of the FinMaster APP (“NPI”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020, among the Company, JFB, NPI, the selling shareholders of NPI identified therein (each a “Seller,” and, collectively, the “Sellers”) and the representative of the Sellers identified therein. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $4,850,000, less certain discounts, expenses and reductions for outstanding NPI debt owed to the Company and/or its affiliates. The net purchase price for the acquisition was $3,506,042, payable in 8,415,111 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Sellers in accordance with their respective pro rata percentage.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company now owns, indirectly through JFB, 100% of NPI. NPI, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LOC Weibo Co., Ltd. (“LOC”) and Beijing DataComm Cloud Media Technology Co., Ltd.,(“BJDC”) companies organized under the laws of the Republic of China and the laws of the People’s Republic of China, respectively, engages primarily in the development of ecological-system applications, integration of big data and promotion of OTT applications. As a result of the acquisition, our FinMaster App was launched to the market in a timely and efficient manner and clients on this open platform are served more effectively and satisfactorily. Based on the successful development of our FinMaster App, LOC and BJDC jointly accumulated in-depth knowledge of FinTech App development, including the marketing expertise built up and the perfect allocation of the Company’s resources. We believe LCHD, through LOC and BJDC will further conclude more customized App contracts to help the clients to incubate the avant-garde Apps to expand their businesses efficiently and effectively.

We have incurred significant operating losses. As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, our accumulated deficits were $27,497,353 and $23,001,067, respectively. We generated revenue of $22,436 and $55,252 for the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our net losses were principally attributed to general and administrative expenses.

Going Concern

As of February 28, 2022, we have suffered recurring losses from operations, and recorded an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $27,497,353 and $2,887,051, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our profit generating operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

We expect to finance our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, loans from existing directors and shareholders and placements of capital stock for additional funding. In the event that we require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, a shareholder has indicated the intent and ability to provide additional financing. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.

Our business continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant COVID-19 related restrictions, including those in response to the outbreak of the Delta variant in the second and third quarters and the Omicron variant in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2021, have continued and in some instances, have been significantly tightened, in markets in which we operate. According to Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center (“CECC”), Taiwan’s Covid-19 cases are increasing dramatically in the first half of April, 2022. As of Apr 14, totally 7,759 local infections reported this year, in which 6,533 cases recorded in April, comparing with 1,226 cases in the first quarter of 2022. CECC confirms that 99.6% of the reported cases were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms, the peak is not yet emerged; due to gradual lifting of the restrictions, the number of confirmed cases will inevitably increase. To reduce the impact on people’s daily life and to the economy, the government will activate the home care program for confirmed cases based on the developments in the pandemic situation.

Border controls and travel restrictions, such as those imposed in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China, have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our operations. The impact of the pandemic and the measures taken by the relevant governments to contain the disease on the global economy, the economies of the markets in which we operate, and the movement of people have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to adversely affect, the roll out of our business plans and results of operations throughout the fiscal year of 2022. If any of our employees is suspected of having infected COVID-19, we may under certain circumstances be required to quarantine such employees and the affected areas of our premises, thus we have to temporarily suspend part of or all of our operations. Furthermore, government actions to contain the outbreak may restrict the level of economic activities in affected regions, including Taiwan, and affect the willingness and ability of our employees and customers to travel, which may also adversely affect our business and prospects. As a result, we cannot assure you that any future outbreak of contagious diseases would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as going concern.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2022. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2022 due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

1.	We do not have an audit committee – While we are not obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial reporting. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer and directors act in the capacity of the audit committee, and do not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.

2.	We do not have adequate written policies and procedures – Due to lack of adequate written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, we did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions in a timely manner.

3.	We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at August 31, 2021, we retained copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of our data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors and we do not have sufficient control policies that prevent inappropriate and unauthorized use of the system across all layers of systems.

4.	We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

Our management does not believe that these material weaknesses had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended February 28, 2022 to contain a material misstatement.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

1.	Create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.

2.	Prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions, in a timely manner.

3.	Add staff members to our management team to make sure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and the staff members will have segregated responsibilities with regard to these responsibilities.

4.	Plan to hire professional consultant to review and assist the company to design and implement proper information technology controls and policies on the company’s operations.

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ending February 28, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
