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.

The distributor and retailer financing programs launched by the Issuer earlier in 2021 are now clearly the biggest revenue and transaction contributors in the Issuer's Business Hub ecosystem, eclipsing the contributions made by transactions between raw material suppliers and factories. This is gradually improving the Issuer's profit margins and is one of the reasons why the Issuer expects to finish 2021 with positive net income. While past efforts are beginning to pay significant dividends, including a very successful first showing at the 618 Shopping Festival in June, the Issuer's focus was on the future of its Business Hub during the period.

The Issuer's ability to control the flow of funds throughout its ecosystem thanks to its connection to the China UnionPay network has created several opportunities to provide value-added services beyond just access to loans and credit. Members are now joining the Hub as a one-stop-shop to conduct business, buy on credit and get paid almost instantly for their sales, whereas it would normally take anywhere from 30 days to 90 days to get paid by their clients. The Issuer looked to capitalize on those opportunities by making it even more compelling for businesses operating in certain industries to join the ecosystem. Targeting the steel, petroleum, insurance and clean tech industries, the Issuer consulted with participants and specialists in those industries and looked at ways in which features, modules, platforms and functionalities could be added to the Business Hub to cater to the specific needs of participants. This led the Issuer to adjust the development of a module, which had been in the works since the end of the Chinese New Year holiday, into a complete steel trading platform that could be used by steel industry participants as a gateway to the Business Hub. The development of a similar platform for the petroleum industry, after consultations with Petro China, was well underway by the end of the period, so were talks for the acquisition of a loan brokerage platform to provide asset and liability insurance through the Business Hub to meet the demand of ecosystem members. Seeing that its ecosystem was facilitating more than just commercial lending transactions prompted the Issuer to officially begin referring to the ecosystem as the "Business Hub" rather than the "Lending Hub".


In addition to the value-added business opportunities having the ability to control the flow of funds created for the Issuer, the strong beginning of the provision of the services caught the attention of executives at China UnionPay. So much so, that the Issuer was invited by China UnionPay to take a minority interest in UnionPay subsidiary Rongbang Technology Ltd. ("Rongbang") during the period. The Issuer expects its investment in Rongbang to have significant collateral benefits for years to come, including having its brand associated with the UnionPay brand in China. Talks of a marketing and client referral agreement between the Issuer and Rongbang were initiated during the period.

The Issuer's pilot project with banking AI software provider and acquisition target of the Issuer, Zhongke Software Intelligence Ltd. ("Zhongke"), was deemed successful enough by the Issuer and Zhongke to allow the acquisition process to begin. Zhongke therefore transferred intellectual property to a subsidiary controlled by the Issuer while the remaining elements to complete the acquisition are finalized.

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

The Issuer's management closed the Issuer's long awaited prospectus financing where the Issuer sold 26.3M units comprised of common shares and half warrants at $2.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $52.6M. The capital raised allowed the Issuer to make certain commitments related to its business plan and the Issuer's management to complete the Issuer's 3-year financial forecasts, which were released during the period.

The closing of the Issuer's prospectus financing was the catalyst to several important aspects of the Issuer's business plan, including its planned listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange (the "Nasdaq"). Needing the price of the Issuer's common shares to trade at a minimum of USD$4 to meet the last remaining criteria for the Issuer to qualify to be listed on the Nasdaq, the Issuer's management had planned to proceed with a 2 for 1 consolidation of the Issuer's common shares. However, the Issuer's management had refrained from proceeding with the consolidation while the prospectus financing was still open so as not to disturb the prospectus approval process. With the prospectus financing finally closed, the Issuer's management proceeded with a 2 for 1 consolidation of the Issuer's common shares during the period.


Another important piece of the puzzle able to resume following the closing of the prospectus financing, was the Issuer's planned acquisition of Cubeler Inc. ("Cubeler"). The discussions between the Issuer's management and Cubeler progressed during the period to the point where an announcement of the terms of the acquisition is expected before the end of August 2021. Those developments gave the Issuer's management its first look at Cubeler's revenue forecasts for the next three years, allowing the Issuer's management to begin the process of revising the Issuer's forecasts to account for Cubeler's revenues, as well as to begin the planning of the Issuer's North American launch.

Finally, the period also saw the Issuer's management begin preparing the filing of the Issuer's financial results for the second quarter of 2021, which the Issuer plans to file on August 27, 2021.
