1. Provide a general overview and discussion of the development of the Issuer's business and operations over the previous month. Where the Issuer was inactive disclose this fact.

Much of the Issuer's activities during the period was spent gearing up for this year's "618 Shopping Festival". Better known in China simply as "618", the event was started by online retail giant JD.com in 2004 as a way to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the company (June 18, 1998) by offering consumers promotional deals on a variety of products. 618 has since seen virtually all online stores and marketplaces in China offer promotional deals on that date, making the event the country's biggest shopping extravaganza along with "Single's Day". 618 now usually accounts for a significant portion of China's online retailers' annual sales. JD.com, for example, reported sales of USD$38B for 618 in 2020. By comparison, Cyber Monday 2020, which included the combined sales of all US online retailers, generated sales of USD$10.7B, making it the biggest shopping day in US history. As the retailer and distributor financing programs recently launched by the Issuer could potentially provide retailers and distributors with the cash flow flexibility that many lacked during 618 in the past, the Issuer spent time during the period to promote the programs and worked with the financial institution members of its Lending Hub to ensure that they would be in position to meet whatever financing demand is created by 618.

Other than the 618 preparations, it was business as usual for the Issuer's subsidiaries in anticipation of the expected capital injection to come from the closing of the Issuer's prospectus financing offering. The anticipated capital from the financing will allow the Issuer to continue to grow its subsidiaries' operations as well as allow the Issuer to commit to partnership opportunities where discussions between the Issuer and other parties were still ongoing at the end of the period.


2. Provide a general overview and discussion of the activities of management.

The Issuer's management's time during the period was spent primarily on the preparation of the filing of its first quarter 2021 financial statements, the preparation of the Issuer's annual general meeting of shareholders and the completion of the Issuer's short form prospectus financing offering.

While nearing the process to obtain regulatory approval to file the final version of its short form prospectus just prior to the end of the period, the Issuer's management filed the Issuer's first quarter 2021 financial statements and finalized the Issuer's information circular for its June 30, 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders. Both documents automatically became incorporated by reference into the prospectus and therefore had to be reviewed by the regulators before approval to file the final version of the prospectus could be obtained. The regulators were still in the process of reviewing the documents as of the date of the filing of this Monthly Progress Report.

Finally, the Issuer's management welcome Barry Ellison as the Issuer's new Director of Marketing and Communications during the period. Barry is a former Business Development Bank of Canada executive who brings over 27 years of experience in senior-level marketing to the Issuer. He will be responsible for the Issuer's marketing and communications strategy going forward.
