In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance, anticipated expenses, or projected financial results.

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.Commission (the “SEC”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These interimunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interimunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. 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/A10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on July 19, 2021.

Going Concern

The accompanying interimunaudited 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.

TheAs of February 28, 2022, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and records an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $17,534,982 as of February 28, 2021.$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 interimunaudited 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 goodwillGoodwill

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.amortized (“Goodwill”). The total amount of goodwillGoodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” goodwillGoodwill 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.

8

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.

On September 1, 2018 (before the acquisition of NPI (Note 1)), JFB appointed LOC to develop a mobile application in four stages for total consideration of TWD20,000,000 ($651,466), payable in the form of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. As of August 31, 2019, the first and second stages of development for the basic functions of the mobile application have been completed, and the Company has issued a total of 908,678 of restricted common shares in aggregate at $0.50 per share for the work completed up to August 31, 2019. The Company has expensed $454,339 development costs for the first and second development stage in general and administrative expenses for the year ended August 31, 2019. In August 2020, the development of the mobile application has been completed, and the Company expensed $0.2 million development costs in general and administrative expenses for the year ended August 31, 2020. Further $600,000 was incurred for additional functions developed and $200,000 was incurred for the acquisition of the ownership of the intellectual property in the year ended August 31, 2020.

NoNaN development costs were expensed as general and administrative expenses for the six and three months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020.2021.

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.

9

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, 2021,2022, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $9,962,$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

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, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, the total R&D expenses were $304,565$261,179 and $nil,$304,565, respectively.

For the three months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, the total R&D expenses were $157,594$114,896 and $nil,$157,594, respectively.

11

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, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, advertising costs totaled $143,828$240,049 and $nil,$143,828, respectively. For the three months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, advertising costs totaled $46,467$29,446 and $nil,$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, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, redeemable point liability charged as sales and marketing expenses were $26,902$7,487 and $nil,$26,902, respectively.

For the three months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, redeemable point liability charged as sales and marketing expenses were $14,561$4,318 and $nil,$14,561, respectively.

As of February 28, 20212022 and August 31, 2020,2021, liabilities recorded related to unredeemed points were $67,301 $82,043 and $40,003,$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 thean 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

12

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:

SCHEDULE OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT USEFUL LIVES

  

Expected

useful life

 
Furniture and fixture 3 
Office equipment 3 
Leasehold improvement 3 

Intangible assetassets

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:

SCHEDULE OF USEFUL LIVES OF COMPANY'S INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Investment platform5 years
Technical know-hows8 years
Trademarks10 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. NoNaN impairment has been recorded by the Company for the six and three months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020.2021.

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.facts. As of February 28, 2021,2022, the Company has no0 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:

As of February 28, 20212022 and August 31, 2020,2021, 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.

In June 2018,

14

On September 1, 2019, the FASB issuedCompany 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. ASU 2018-07Before 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 effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt priorconsidered to adoptingbe a cancellation of the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on September 1, 2019 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption.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:

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.

15

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.

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 that 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.

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 2018,2020, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)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): Disclosure Framework-ChangesAccounting 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 Disclosure Requirementshost 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 Fair Value Measurement, which modifiesas derivatives under the disclosurecurrent guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement assessment by removing the requirements for Level 1, Level 2to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and Level 3 instruments in the fair value hierarchy. The guidance(iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years with early adoption permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures.beginning after December 15, 2020, and only if adopted as of the beginning of such fiscal year. The Company applied the new standard beginningadopted ASU 2020-06 effective September 1, 2020.2021. 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. The guidance removesImpairment (“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, which requireswhereby a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwillGoodwill impairment will now beloss is measured as the amount by whichexcess of a reporting unit’s carrying value exceedsamount over its fair value not(not to exceed the carrying amounttotal Goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). Adoption of goodwill. The guidance should be adoptedthe ASUs is on a prospectivemodified 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, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for “smaller reporting companies” for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standardASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements and relatedstatement presentation or disclosures.

In December 2019,May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 740)260), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740Debt — Modifications and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20)718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts inCertain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities toissuer should account for beneficial conversion featuresa 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 cash conversion features inthe 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 separately from the host convertibleissuance and debt origination or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.

We have incurred significant operating losses. As of February 28, 20212022 and August 31, 2020,2021, our accumulated deficits were $17,534,982$27,497,353 and $11,307,575,$23,001,067, respectively. We generated revenue of $55,252$22,436 and $3,333$55,252 for the six months ended February 28, 20212022 and February 29, 2020,2021, respectively. Our net losses were principally attributed to general and administrative expenses.

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.

We

As of February 28, 2022, we have suffered recurring losses from operations, and recorded an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $17,534,982 as of February 28, 2021.$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.

TheOur 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 has createdsituation.

Border controls and travel restrictions, such as those imposed in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China, have had and may continue to create significant uncertaintyhave 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 macroeconomic conditions,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 cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand foralso adversely affect our business and adversely impactprospects. 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. We expect uncertainties around our key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its consolidated financial statements.

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 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, 2021.2022. 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, 20212022 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, 2020,2021, 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.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, 20212022 to contain a material misstatement.

37

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 2021.2022.
