restrictions on foreign exchange, the ability to transfer cash between our entities, or the ability to distribute earnings to investors
outside of China. Further, we are aware that, the Chinese government recently initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements
to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,
enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using entity variable interest entity (&#8220;VIE&#8221;) structure,
adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these
statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will
respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,
if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the Company&#8217;s business operations in China,
the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. We do not have any VIE agreements with our subsidiaries,
instead, we hold equity interests in our subsidiaries. Any future action by the Chinese government expanding the categories of industries
and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability
to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

the application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the
PRC government on U.S. listed companies. We may also be subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities
Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. Any actions by the PRC government to exert more
oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in companies having operations in China, including
us, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value
of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. These China-related risks could result in a material change in our operations
and/or the value of our securities, or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer securities to investors in
the future and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.</p><div>

new laws and regulations related to data security, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.</p><div>

safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information and important data worldwide is rapidly evolving in PRC and
is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number
of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which became effective in
June 2017, established China&#8217;s first national-level data protection for &#8220;network operators,&#8221; which may include all organizations
in China that connect to or provide services over the internet or other information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated
by the Standing Committee of PRC National People&#8217;s Congress, or the SCNPC, on June 10, 2021 and became effective on September 1,
2021, outlines the main system framework of data security protection.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December 2021, the Cyberspace Administration
of China (the &#8220;CAC&#8221;) promulgated the amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review which require cyberspace operators with personal
information of more than one million users to file for cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office (&#8220;CRO&#8221;),
in the event such operators plan for an overseas listing. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review provide that, among others, an
application for cybersecurity review must be made by an issuer that is a &#8220;critical information infrastructure operator&#8221; or
a &#8220;data processing operator&#8221; as defined therein before such issuer&#8217;s securities become listed in a foreign country,
if the issuer possesses personal information of more than one million users, and that the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC
may initiate cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator&#8217;s cyber products or services, data processing
or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect China&#8217;s national security. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity
Review took effect on February 15, 2022. In August 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People&#8217;s Congress of China promulgated
the Personal Information Protection Law which became effective on November 1, 2021. The Personal Information Protection Law provides a
comprehensive set of data privacy and protection requirements that apply to the processing of personal information and expands data protection
compliance obligations to cover the processing of personal information of persons by organizations and individuals in China, and the processing
of personal information of persons outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products and services to, or analyzing
and evaluating the behavior of, persons in China. The Personal Information Protection Law also provides that critical information infrastructure
operators and personal information processing entities who process personal information meeting a volume threshold to be set by Chinese
cyberspace regulators are also required to store in China the personal information generated or collected in China, and to pass a security
assessment administered by Chinese cyberspace regulators for any export of such personal information. Moreover, pursuant to the Personal
Information Protection Law, persons who seriously violate this law may be fined for up to RMB50 million or 5% of annual revenues generated
in the prior year and may also be ordered to suspend any related activity by competent authorities.</p><div>

on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network
Data Security provide more detailed guidance on how to implement the general legal requirements under laws such as the Cybersecurity Law,
Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security follow the principle that
the state will regulate based on a data classification and multi-level protection scheme, under which data is largely classified into
three categories: general data, important data and core data. Under the current PRC cybersecurity laws in China, critical information
infrastructure operators that intend to purchase internet products and services that may affect national security must be subject to the
cybersecurity review. On July 30, 2021, the State Council of the PRC promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of
Critical Information Infrastructure, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The regulations require, among others, that certain competent
authorities shall identify critical information infrastructures. If any critical information infrastructure is identified, they shall
promptly notify the relevant operators and the Ministry of Public Security.</p><div>

laws, including, among others, storing personal information and important data collected and produced within the PRC territory during
our operations in China, which we are already doing in our business, and we may be subject to review when purchasing internet products

require the relevant regulators to coordinate and accelerate amendments of legislation on the confidentiality and archive management related

of confidential information. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and

of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. As these opinions

The Overseas Listing Regulations set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration
with the CSRC for PRC domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets. An overseas listing will
constitute an &#8220;indirect listing&#8221; where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50% or more of the issuer&#8217;s
operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by its PRC subsidiaries;
and (ii) main parts of the business activities are conducted within mainland China, or main place of business are located in mainland
China, or a majority of the senior managers in charge of business operation and management are Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland
China. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we do not believe we will be subject to the filing and reporting requirement under
the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and management team do not meet either of the conditions. However, as the
Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain uncertain.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,
or the HFCA Act, was enacted into U.S.&#160;law on December&#160;18, 2020. The HFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that a company
has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board of the United&#160;States (the &#8220;PCAOB&#8221;) for three consecutive&#160;years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall
prohibit its securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter&#160;trading market in the U.S.&#160;On
December&#160;16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely
registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i)&#160;China, and (ii)&#160;Hong&#160;Kong.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments
implementing congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCA Act. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer&#8217;s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things,
an identical provision to AHFCA Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. Whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor&#8217;s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in
mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well
as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately
to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed, without having to wait another year to reassess its determinations.
In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations
located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the determination so that
we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result
in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national
exchange and trading on &#8220;over-the-counter&#8221; markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.</p><div>

PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong&#160;Kong.
As a result, investors in companies using such auditors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. On August&#160;26,
2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and
investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong&#160;Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select
any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022,
the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered
in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and the PCAOB board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect
or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB
will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China
and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor&#8217;s, control. The PCAOB is

The failure to comply with the requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the AHFCA Act, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer&#8217;s

in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and all of the data and personal information we collected are stored in servers outside
mainland China, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may subject us to certain
laws and regulations in China. Recent cybersecurity regulations mandate clearance of cybersecurity review of internet platform operator
holding personal information of more than one million users before applying for listing at a foreign stock exchange, and relevant governmental
authorities in the PRC may initiate cybersecurity review if they determine an operator&#8217;s data processing activities affect or may
affect national security. However, it remains unclear as to whether relevant requirements will be applicable to companies that have already
been listed in the United States, such as us, for our future offerings, and the laws and regulations then effective as of our previous
listing did not require any issuer to obtain pre-approval from the Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, before listing at a
foreign stock exchange. As of the date of this annual report, we do not hold personal information of more than one million users and our
business activities do not involve risk factors regarding national security as stipulated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. We have
not been informed by any government authorities that we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator, and we have not
received any inquiry or notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings initiated by the CAC. Based on the foregoing and as
advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we believe that we are not required to apply for pre-approval from CAC before the issuance
of our securities to foreign investors and we are not subject to mandatory application requirement for cybersecurity review under the
current PRC laws and regulations. However, no detailed rules or implementation rules regarding the cybersecurity review have been issued
and the PRC government authorities may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of the applicable laws. We cannot assure
you that we would not be deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator or carrying out data processing activities that affect
or may affect national security, which may subject us to order of clearance of cybersecurity review or other specific actions.</p><div>

stock exchange. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations
that the CSRC&#8217;s approval is not required for our listing, trading of our securities on Nasdaq, given that our PRC subsidiary was
incorporated as wholly foreign-owned enterprises by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of equity interest
or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&amp;A Rules that are our beneficial owners.
However, our PRC counsel has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&amp;A Rules will be interpreted or
implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations
or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&amp;A Rules. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government
agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.</p><div>

set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration with the CSRC for PRC

we do not believe we will be subject to the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and identity of management team
do not meet either of the conditions and our offering will not be determined as indirect overseas offering under the Overseas Listing
Trial Measures. However, as the Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain
uncertain.</p><div>

we may face sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to do so, and if we are denied from PRC authorities

in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may
subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected
certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release
regulations or policies regarding our industry that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore,
since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform
and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. Furthermore,
the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or

the violation. Such uncertainties could adversely affect our business that relates to China or PRC citizens.</p><div>

We are subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but

to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, including CSRC, if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. Any actions by
the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in companies
having operations in China, including us, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities
to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. These China-related risks could result

of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which became effective in
June 2017, established China&#8217;s first national-level data protection for &#8220;network operators,&#8221; which may include all organizations
in China that connect to or provide services over the internet or other information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated
by the Standing Committee of PRC National People&#8217;s Congress, or the SCNPC, on June 10, 2021 and became effective on September 1,

of China (the &#8220;CAC&#8221;) promulgated the amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review which require cyberspace operators with personal
information of more than one million users to file for cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office (&#8220;CRO&#8221;),
in the event such operators plan for an overseas listing. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review provide that, among others, an
application for cybersecurity review must be made by an issuer that is a &#8220;critical information infrastructure operator&#8221; or
a &#8220;data processing operator&#8221; as defined therein before such issuer&#8217;s securities become listed in a foreign country,
if the issuer possesses personal information of more than one million users, and that the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC
may initiate cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator&#8217;s cyber products or services, data processing
or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect China&#8217;s national security. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity
Review will take effect on February 15, 2022. In August 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People&#8217;s Congress of China
promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law which became effective on November 1, 2021. The Personal Information Protection Law
provides a comprehensive set of data privacy and protection requirements that apply to the processing of personal information and expands
data protection compliance obligations to cover the processing of personal information of persons by organizations and individuals in
China, and the processing of personal information of persons outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products
and services to, or analyzing and evaluating the behavior of, persons in China. The Personal Information Protection Law also provides
that critical information infrastructure operators and personal information processing entities who process personal information meeting
a volume threshold to be set by Chinese cyberspace regulators are also required to store in China the personal information generated or
collected in China, and to pass a security assessment administered by Chinese cyberspace regulators for any export of such personal information.
Moreover, pursuant to the Personal Information Protection Law, persons who seriously violate this law may be fined for up to RMB50 million
or 5% of annual revenues generated in the prior year and may also be ordered to suspend any related activity by competent authorities.</p><div>

on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network
Data Security provide more detailed guidance on how to implement the general legal requirements under laws such as the Cybersecurity Law,
Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security follow the principle that
the state will regulate based on a data classification and multi-level protection scheme, under which data is largely classified into
three categories: general data, important data and core data. Under the current PRC cybersecurity laws in China, critical information
infrastructure operators that intend to purchase internet products and services that may affect national security must be subject to the
cybersecurity review. On July 30, 2021, the State Council of the PRC promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of
Critical Information Infrastructure, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The regulations require, among others, that certain competent
authorities shall identify critical information infrastructures. If any critical information infrastructure is identified, they shall
promptly notify the relevant operators and the Ministry of Public Security.</p><div>

jointly revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing,
collectively with the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, the Overseas Listing Regulations, which have come into effect on March 31, 2023.
The Overseas Listing Regulations set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration
with the CSRC for PRC domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets. An overseas listing will
constitute an &#8220;indirect listing&#8221; where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50% or more of the issuer&#8217;s
operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by its PRC subsidiaries;
and (ii) main parts of the business activities are conducted within mainland China, or main place of business are located in mainland
China, or a majority of the senior managers in charge of business operation and management are Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland
China. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we do not believe we will be subject to the filing and reporting requirement under
the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and management team do not meet either of the conditions. However, as the
Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain uncertain.</p><div>

of the PRC National People&#8217;s Congress (SCNPC) the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission (CAC), the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology (MIIT), and the Ministry of Public Security have been increasingly focused on regulation in the areas of data security and
data protection and have enforced laws and regulations with varying and evolving standards and interpretations. For instance, the Civil
Code of the PRC provides main legal basis for privacy and personal information infringement claims under the Chinese civil laws. On November
7, 2016, the SCNPC issued the PRC Cybersecurity Law, pursuant to which, network operators must not, without users&#8217; consent, collect
their personal information, and may only collect users&#8217; personal information necessary to provide their services. On June 10, 2021,
the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which became effective on September 1, 2021. The PRC Data Security Law imposes data security
and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data activities and it specifies that data activities carried out outside
China shall also be liable if it involves and damages the interests of PRC citizens. In order to implement the PRC National Security Law,
the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the PRC Data Security Law, the CAC, and related authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures
in December 2021, which took effect in February, 2022, which requires, among others that critical information infrastructure operators
that procure internet products and services and network platform operators that carry out data processing activities that affect or may
affect national security should be subject to the cybersecurity review, and that network platform operators that possess personal information
of more than one million users shall apply for cybersecurity review before seeking to list in a foreign stock exchange. On August&#160;20,
2021, the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Personal Information Protection Law, or the PIPL, which took effect in November&#160;2021. The PIPL
imposes specific rules for processing personal information and it also specifies that the law shall also apply to personal information
activities carried out outside China but for purpose of providing products or services to PRC citizens. On November 14, 2021, the CAC
released the Administration Regulations on the Cyber Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations. The Draft
Cyber Data Regulations provide that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that, during their data processing activities
such as data collection, storage, utilization, transmission, publication and deletion, have autonomy over the purpose and the manner of
data processing. In accordance with the Draft Cyber Data Regulations, data processors shall apply for a cybersecurity review for certain
activities, including, among other things, (i) the listing abroad of data processors that process the personal information of more than
one million users and (ii) any data processing activity that affects or may affect national security. However, there have been no clarifications
from the relevant authorities as of the date of this annual report as to the standards for determining whether an activity is one that
&#8220;affects or may affect national security.&#8221; In addition, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations requires that data processors that
process &#8220;important data&#8221; or are listed overseas must conduct an annual data security assessment by itself or commission a
data security service provider to do so, and submit the assessment report of the preceding year to the municipal cybersecurity department
by the end of January each year. In addition, the Administrative Provisions on Internet Information Service Algorithm Recommendation,
or Algorithm Recommendation Provisions, that took effect on March 1, 2022 implements classification and hierarchical management for algorithm
recommendation service providers based on various criteria, and stipulates that algorithm recommendation service providers with public
opinion attributes or social mobilization capabilities shall submit the relevant information within ten business days from the date of
providing such services and go through the record-filing formalities. The CAC issued the Measures for the Security Assessment of Data
Cross-border Transfer, or the Security Assessment of Data Transfer, on July 7, 2022, which requires that any data processor who provides
important data collected and generated during operations within the territory of the PRC or personal information that should be subject
to security assessment to a recipient outside of the territory of the PRC shall receive an security assessment. As these opinions and
the draft measurers were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of these two remain unclear in several respects at this
time.</p><div>

with and solicitation of clients and our marketing activities; (ii)&#160;the custody, control and safeguarding of our clients&#8217; assets;
(iii)&#160;maintaining specified minimum amounts of capital and limiting withdrawals of funds from our regulated operating subsidiaries;

system, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified compliance personnel. While we maintain systems and procedures designed
to ensure that we comply with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we are able to prevent all possible violations.
Non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in sanctions being levied against us, including the imposition of fines

inquiries and inspections from the relevant regulatory bodies. For example, from time to time, our HKSFC-licensed subsidiaries may be

HKSFC conducts on-site reviews and off-site monitoring to ascertain and supervise our business conduct and compliance with relevant regulatory
requirements and to assess and monitor, among other things, our financial soundness. Similarly, our Cayman subsidiary may be subject to
CIMA&#8217;s on-site inspections and inquiries from time to time. If any misconduct is identified as a result of inquiries, reviews, investigation
or inspections, the relevant regulatory authorities may take disciplinary actions against us. There also remains a risk that we may not
be able to rectify our practices to be in compliance with the relevant rules and regulations following the identification of any such
misconduct or material non-compliance, which may result in regulators taking additional actions against it. We were inspected by both
the HKSFC and CIMA during 2019, and both regulators identified certain areas in which our operations can improve. We have finished implementing
the measures recommended by the HKSFC and received letters from the HKSFC confirming that they had no further comments relating to their
inspections of Lion Asset Management Limited on November 21, 2019, and of both Lion International Securities Group Limited and Lion Futures
Limited on May 20, 2020. These are the only subsidiaries subject to HKSFC oversight and inspection. We have also finished implementing
the measures recommended by CIMA during 2019 and CIMA had no further comments relating to their 2019 inspection. We were inspected by
CIMA separately on February 4, 2021 as a regular exercise following which CIMA had identified certain areas in which our operators can
improve, with the changes to be made no later than October 4, 2021. Subsequently, CIMA issued a breach notice for failure of enhancing
customer due diligence measures. CIMA issued an administrative fine of US$314,000 as penalty and we paid the administrative fine on February
17, 2022. We have implemented the improvements recommended by CIMA. &#160;However, if we are unable to make these changes we may be subject
to fines or other disciplinary actions. If any such outcome occurs, there may be a material and adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial condition and prospects.</p><div>

are therefore subject to the restrictions under the rules and regulations promulgated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange
(SAFE), regarding the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance and the use of such funds outside China. Under
current PRC foreign exchange regulations, each PRC citizen is permitted to convert up to an aggregate of US$50,000 equivalent Renminbi
each year for appropriate personal use. Such appropriate use does not include direct investment into secondary stock markets, futures,
insurances, asset management products or other CFD trading. PRC residents who intend to convert U.S. dollars exceeding such quota are
required to go through additional application and review procedures with commercial banks designated by the SAFE. In addition, approval
from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required when Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency for the
purpose of offshore investment. Although we require our clients to comply with the relevant rules and regulations in the agreements we
enter into with them, we cannot assure you that our clients will follow the rules and regulations or the provisions in the agreements
at all times. We do not handle the Renminbi cross-border currency conversion for our Chinese clients through any of our accounts or entities,
and we do not require our clients to submit evidence of approval or registration with respect to the foreign currency used for offshore
investments. We cannot assure you that our current operating model, which includes redirecting our clients to open accounts with third
party service provider, will be not deemed as assisting with the currency conversion by SAFE. In such cases, we may face regulatory warnings,
correction orders, condemnation and fines, and may not be able to conduct our current business in the future. In addition, any misbehavior
or violation by our clients of applicable laws and regulations could lead to regulatory inquiries, investigations or penalties that involve
us.</p><div>

more severe consequences, including being asked to take additional and burdensome measures to monitor the source and use of the foreign
currency funds in the accounts of our clients, remove our account opening functions, or suspend our operations pending an investigation
or indefinitely. In such cases, we may face regulatory warnings, correction orders, condemnation, fines and confiscation of income, and
may not be able to conduct our current business in the future. We may also be subject to regular inspections from relevant authorities

There are various risks related to our insurance brokerage business. For instance, we may fail to introduce diversified insurance products

products is based on premium and commission rates set by insurance companies, any decrease in these premiums or commission rates, or increases
in the referral fees we pay to our external referral sources, may have an adverse effect on our results of operation. Furthermore, we
rely on various business partners to operate our insurance brokerage business. If we fail to maintain stable relationships with insurance
companies and referral service providers, our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects could be materially
and adversely affected. In addition, our insurance brokerage business is vulnerable to risks that are beyond our control. For example,
we experienced significant decrease in revenues generated from insurance brokerage business in 2020, 2021 and 2022 compared to 2018 and
2019, primarily due to our strategic shift of business focus and the unrest in Hong&#160;Kong following the forfeited extradition bill
in 2019, which negatively affected our clients&#8217; confidence and interest in Hong&#160;Kong market. Moreover, our insurance brokerage
business was further negatively affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, as potential customers were not able to travel to Hong&#160;Kong

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our platform collects, stores and processes certain
personal and other sensitive data from our users. The massive data that we have processed and stored makes us or external service providers
who host our servers a target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar
disruptions. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, our security measures could be
breached. Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized
until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our platform could cause confidential information to be stolen
and used for criminal purposes. As personally identifiable and other confidential information is increasingly subject to legislation and
regulation in numerous jurisdictions, any inability to protect confidential information of our clients could result in additional cost
and liability for us, damage our reputation, inhibit the use of our platform and harm our business.</p><div>

increasing consolidation and interdependence of technology systems, a technology failure, cyber-attack or other information or security
breach that significantly compromises the systems of one entity could have a material impact on our counterparties. Any cyber-attack,
computer virus, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions of such third-party service providers could, among other things,
adversely affect our ability to serve our users, and could even result in the misappropriation of funds of our investors and borrowers.
If that were to occur, both we and third-party service providers could be held liable to clients who suffer losses from the misappropriation.</p><div>

of interest, including situations where two or more interests within our businesses naturally exist but are in competition or conflict.
We have put in place internal control and risk management procedures that are designed to identify and address conflicts of interest.
However, appropriately identifying and managing actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our
reputation and our clients&#8217; confidence in us could be damaged if we fail, or appears to fail, to deals appropriately with one or
more actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. It is possible that actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest
could also give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation, or regulatory enforcement actions. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in

our business in a number of ways, including a reluctance of some potential clients and counterparties to do business with us. Any of the

client services, full brokerage licenses, innovative products and services, robust infrastructure and advanced technology, as well as
brand equity. We face fierce competition from other online brokerage platforms, other investment and trading platforms as well as traditional
brokerage and financial institutions. Our competitors may compete with us in a variety of ways, including (i)&#160;providing services
that are similar to, or more attractive to clients than ours; (ii)&#160;providing products and services we do not offer; (iii)&#160;offering
more aggressive rebates to gain market share and to promote other businesses; (iv)&#160;adapting at a faster rate to market conditions,

a current or potential competitor may acquire one or more of our existing competitors or form a strategic alliance with one or more of
our competitors. When new competitors seek to enter our target market, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market
share, they sometimes undercut the pricing or other terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share or our

our competitors are able to offer more attractive terms to our business partners, such business partners may choose to terminate their
relationships with us. If we are unable to compete with such companies and meet the need for innovation in our industry, the demand for

Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and
price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives
and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service.
In addition, new service offerings may not be accepted by the market or be as profitable as we expect. Furthermore, any new line of business

and personnel resources. In addition, we may face competition in other countries from companies that may have more experience with operations
in such countries or with global operations in general. To continue to expand our services internationally, we may have to comply with

could also lead to regulatory intervention, and may divert our management&#8217;s attention and cause us to incur additional regulatory

money laundering and securities fraud laws and regulations in applicable jurisdictions and to assume liabilities for all restrictions,
penalties and other responsibilities arising from conducts suspected to constitute insider trading, money laundering and/or, securities
fraud, we cannot verify whether every transaction conducted by our clients is in compliance with such laws and regulations because our

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This outbreak of COVID-19 has caused companies
like us and our business partners to implement temporary adjustments to work schedules and travel plans, mandating employees to work from
home and collaborate remotely. As a result, we may have experienced lower efficiency and productivity, internally and externally, which
may adversely affect our service quality. Moreover, our business depends on our employees and the continued services of these individuals.
If any of our employees has contracted or is suspected of having contracted COVID-19, these employees will be required to be quarantined
and they could pass it to other of our employees, potentially resulting in severe disruption to our business.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Furthermore, our results of operations have been
severely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. CFD trading volumes and insurance contract volumes decreased significantly compared to pre-COVID
period, which was mainly attributable to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on our customers, causing a decrease
in both their willingness to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated making such transactions. Customers&#8217;
concerns about future unpredictability also caused their trading activity to decline, impacting our CFD trading business in particular.
In addition, travel restrictions in Hong Kong caused cancellations and prevented management from attending branding, business promotions,
and exhibition activities, which limited the opportunities to acquire new customers. Meanwhile, our futures and insurance brokerage businesses
were adversely affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong Kong to open new futures trading accounts or purchase
insurance products in 2022. More broadly, the COVID-19 outbreak threatens global economies and has caused significant market volatility
and declines in general economic activities. This may have severely dampened the confidence in global markets of investors, including
our clients, resulting in decreases in overall trading activities and restraint in their investment decisions.</p><div>

will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the spread or treat its impact, almost
all of which are beyond our control. Given the general slowdown in economic conditions globally, volatility in the capital markets as
well as the general negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the insurance brokerage, securities and futures brokerage and overall
financial service industry, we cannot assure you that we can launch new products and services in a timely manner or that we can maintain
the growth rate we have experienced or projected. Because of the uncertainty surrounding it, the financial impact related to the COVID-19
outbreak and the response to it cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but our financial condition and operating results for 2020,
2021, and 2022 were adversely affected. In December 2022, the Chinese government announced that it will be downgrading its management
of COVID-19 as of January 8, 2023, rolling back some of its stringent anti-COVID-19 restrictions, including strict quarantine and travel
restriction rules. We will continue to monitor the impacts on our business and operations caused by the changing COVID-19 restrictions.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The PRC government has recently published new
policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility
that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control
over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities by, and overseas and/or foreign investment in, companies with
operations in mainland China, including enhancing supervision over companies with operations in mainland China that are listed overseas
using VIE structure, and that the PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the use of such VIE holding structure. We do not believe that
we are directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we do not currently have any VIE or contractual arrangements in
mainland China. Our substantial operation is based in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, and our PRC subsidiary in Hangzhou
was established solely for purpose of passive equity investment in China with no substantial business activities of itself. As of the
date of this annual report, Lion Group (Hangzhou) Investment Limited does not have any operations or investment other than holding 25%
of the partnership interest in Hangzhou Qianlan Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership). The Foreign Investment Law of
the PRC, or the Foreign Investment Law, adopted by the National People&#8217;s Congress in March 2019 and became effective on January
2020, grants pre-establishment national treatment to foreign investors to make investment in China, so long as such investment does not
violate the &#8220;negative list&#8221;. The negative list currently effective is the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List)
for the Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Edition), or the Negative List 2021, which became effective on January 1, 2022. Any industry
not listed in the Negative List 2021 shall be deemed as permitted industry and generally open to the foreign investment unless specifically
prohibited or restricted by the PRC laws and regulations. Pursuant to these regulations, there are no restrictions on foreign investment
in establishing subsidiaries and passive equity investment in a limited partnership. As a result, our PRC subsidiary does not require
VIE structure or other contractual arrangements for its current operation and the Company holds 100% equity interests in Lion Group (Hangzhou)
Investment Limited through Lion Wealth Limited.</p><div>

in our operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities we are registering for sale, including that it could cause the
value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless. Moreover, the rules and regulations and the enforcement
thereof in China can change quickly. The PRC regulatory authorities could change the rules, regulations and policies regarding foreign
ownership in the industry in which we operate, which would likely result in material change in our operations and/or a material change
in the value of the securities we are registering for sale, including that it could cause the value of the securities to significantly

indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based&#160;issuers.
The PRC has recently issued new rules that would require companies collecting or holding large amounts of data or critical data to undergo
a cybersecurity review prior to listing in other nations, a move that would significantly tighten oversight over China based companies.
In detail, in December 2021, the CAC, together with other authorities, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became
effective on February&#160;15, 2022 and replaces its predecessor regulation. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, critical information
infrastructure operators that procure internet products and services and network platform operators that carry out data processing activities
that affect or may affect national security should be subject to the cybersecurity review. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further stipulates
that network platform operators that possess personal information of more than one million users shall apply for cybersecurity review
before seeking to list in a foreign stock exchange. Moreover, in November 2021, the CAC released the Administration Regulations on the
Cyber Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations. The Draft Cyber Data Regulations provide that data processors
refer to individuals or organizations that, during their data processing activities such as data collection, storage, utilization, transmission,
publication and deletion, have autonomy over the purpose and the manner of data processing. In accordance with the Draft Cyber Data Regulations,
data processors shall apply for a cybersecurity review for certain activities, including, among other things, (i) the listing abroad of
data processors that process the personal information of more than one million users and (ii) any data processing activity that affects
or may affect national security. In addition, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations requires that data processors that process &#8220;important
data&#8221; or are listed overseas must conduct an annual data security assessment by itself or commission a data security service provider
to do so, and submit the assessment report of the preceding year to the municipal cybersecurity department by the end of January each
year. As of the date of this annual report, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations was released for public comment only, and their respective
provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date may be subject to change with substantial uncertainty.</p><div>

in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and all of the data and personal information we collected are stored in servers outside
mainland China, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may subject us to certain
laws and regulations in China. As such, we collect certain personal data from our customers in connection with our business and operations
and we are subject to various regulatory requirements relating to the security and privacy of data in various jurisdictions. Neither the
Cybersecurity Review Measures or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations had been issued or effective before our historic listing and the laws
and regulations then effective as of our historic listing did not require any issuer to obtain pre-approval&#160;from CAC before listing
at a foreign stock exchange. As of the date of this annual report, no detailed rules or implementation rules of the Cybersecurity Review
Measures have been issued by any authority and both the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Draft Cyber Data Regulations remain unclear
as to whether relevant requirements will be applicable to companies that have already been listed in the United States, such as us, for
our future offerings. As of the date of this annual report, we do not hold personal information of more than one million users and our
business activities does not involve risk factors regarding national security as stipulated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. We have
not been informed by any government authorities that we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator, and we have not
received any inquiry or notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings initiated by the CAC. Based on the foregoing and as
advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we believe that we are not required to apply for pre-approval&#160;from CAC before the issuance
of the securities and we are not subject to mandatory application requirement for cybersecurity review. However, the exact definition,
scope or criteria of &#8220;critical information infrastructure operators&#8221;, &#8220;network platform operators&#8221; and &#8220;risk
factors regarding national security&#8221; under the current regulatory regime remains unclear, and the PRC government authorities may
have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of the applicable laws. Since our apps are available to download in the app
stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, we cannot assure you that we would not be deemed by the authority as a critical
information infrastructure operator or carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, which may
subject us to order of clearance of cybersecurity review or other specific actions. We face uncertainties as to whether these additional
procedures can be completed by us timely, or at all, which may subject us to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines,
penalties, suspension of our non-compliant&#160;operations, or removal of our app from the relevant application stores, and materially
and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny from PRC
governmental authorities in the future. As there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of the Data Security
Law and the PIPL, we cannot assure you that we will comply with such regulations in all respects. Any non-compliance&#160;with these laws
and regulations may subject us to fines, orders to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities,
other penalties, including but not limited to removal of our apps in China market, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings
against us, which may affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.</p><div>

An overseas listing will constitute an &#8220;indirect listing&#8221; where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50%

Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary

in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court.
However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the
State of New York, which govern the deposit agreement, by a federal or state court in the City of New York, which has non-exclusive jurisdiction
over matters arising under the deposit agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision,
courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that
this is the case with respect to the deposit agreement and our ADSs. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury
waiver provision before entering into the deposit agreement.</p><div>

such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought against
us or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would
be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including
results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.</p><div>

counsel, Ogier, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i)&#160;to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of

(ii)&#160;in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the securities laws of the United&#160;States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.
Subject to the foregoing, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United&#160;States,
the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without
retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation
to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman
Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive, given by a court of competent jurisdiction (The courts of the Cayman Islands will
apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction),
and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable
on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and/or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public
policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands
Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.</p><div>

to enforce within the United States judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States

courts obtained against these directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United

advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, according to its interpretation of the currently in-effect PRC laws and regulations, that
it is uncertain (i) whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce judgment rendered by a court in the United States based upon the
civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws; and (ii) whether an investor will be able to bring an original action in a
PRC court based on U.S. federal securities laws. As such, you may not be able to or may experience difficulties or incur additional costs

on the merits of the claim, but not otherwise. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained

of our voting power total issued and outstanding share capital. Jian Wang and Chunning Wang have substantial influence over our
business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of
directors, declaration of dividends and other significant corporate actions. As the controlling shareholders, Jian Wang and Chunning
Wang may take actions that are not in the best interests of our other shareholders. These actions may be taken in many cases even if
they are opposed by our other shareholders. In addition, this concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change
in control which could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your securities as part of a sale of our
company.</span></p><div>

has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive&#160;years
beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit its securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter&#160;trading
market in the U.S.&#160;On December&#160;16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments
implementing congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCA Act. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer&#8217;s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer&#8217;s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things,
an identical provision to AHFCA Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. Whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor&#8217;s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in
mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well
as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately
to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed, without having to wait another year to reassess its determinations.
In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations
located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the determination so that
we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result
in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national
exchange and trading on &#8220;over-the-counter&#8221; markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.</p><div>

can be no assurance that future changes in laws or regulations will not impact the Company, UHY LLP or any future auditor of the Company.&#160;Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that UHY LLP will be able to meet the requirements of the HFCA Act and that the Company will not suffer the

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Lack of access to PCAOB inspections prevents the
PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong&#160;Kong.
As a result, investors in companies using such auditors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. On August&#160;26,
2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and
investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong&#160;Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select
any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC.&#160;However, uncertainties
still exist whether this new framework will be fully complied with. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure
complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022,
and the PCAOB board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public
accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor&#8217;s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in

announced by the PCAOB on December&#160;21, 2021 in their HFCA Act Determination Report under PCAOB Rule&#160;6100. If notwithstanding
this new framework, the PCAOB was unable to fully inspect UHY LLP (or any other auditor of the Company) in the future, or if PRC or American
authorities further regulate auditing work of Chinese or Hong&#160;Kong companies listed on the U.S.&#160;stock exchanges in a manner
that would restrict UHY LLP (or any future auditor of the Company) from performing work in Hong&#160;Kong, the Company may be required
to change its auditor. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the SEC, Nasdaq, or other regulatory authorities would not apply additional
and more stringent criteria to the Company in connection with audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and
training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of the Company&#8217;s financial statements.
The failure to comply with the requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the AHFCA Act, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer&#8217;s
public accounting firm within two&#160;years, would subject us to consequences including the delisting of our Company in the future if
the PCAOB is unable to inspect the Company&#8217;s accounting firm (whether UHY LLP or another firm) at such future time.</p><div>

business. A security breach may also trigger mandatory data breach notification obligations under applicable privacy and data protection
laws, which, if applicable, could lead to widespread negative publicity and a loss in confidence regarding the effectiveness of our data
security measures. Furthermore, mitigating the risk of future attacks or IT systems failures have resulted, and could in the future result,
in additional operating and capital costs in systems technology, personnel, monitoring and other investments. In addition, insurers are
currently reluctant to provide cybersecurity insurance for digital assets and cryptocurrency assets and we do not currently hold cybersecurity
insurance, therefore, in the event of any such actual or potential incidents, our costs and resources devoted and any impacted assets
may not be partially or fully recoverable. Most of our sensitive and valuable data, including digital assets, are stored with third-party&#160;custodians
and service providers. Therefore, we rely on the digital asset community to optimize and protect sensitive and valuable data, confidential
information and identify vulnerabilities. There can be no guarantee that these measures and the work of the digital asset developer community
will identify all vulnerabilities, errors and defects, or will identify and resolve all vulnerabilities, errors and defects, prior to
a malicious actor being able to utilize them. Any actual or perceived data security breach at any of those third-party&#160;custodians
and service providers could lead to theft or irretrievable loss of our fiat currencies or digital assets, which may or may not be covered
by insurance maintained by us or our third-party&#160;custodians or service providers.</p><div>

effect on our reported financial results, and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement or effectiveness
of a change. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal
controls. In addition, many companies&#8217; accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public.
Further, there has been limited precedents for the financial accounting of cryptocurrencies and related valuation and revenue recognition,
and no official guidance has been provided by the FASB or the SEC. As such, there remains significant uncertainty on how companies can
account for cryptocurrencies transactions, cryptocurrencies and related revenue. Uncertainties in or changes to regulatory or financial
accounting standards could result in the need to change our accounting methods and restate our financial statements and impair our ability
to provide timely and accurate financial information, which could adversely affect our financial statements, result in a loss of investor
confidence, and more generally impact our business, operating results and financial condition.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">While certain digital assets may be traded through
one or more exchanges or trading platforms of varying quality, digital assets as a class do not have a central marketplace for exchange.
Digital asset platforms on which digital assets may trade pose special risks, as these platforms are generally new and the rules governing
their activities are unsettled and their activities may be largely unregulated or under-regulated, and may therefore be more exposed to
theft, fraud, and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products. Digital asset platforms may be start-up&#160;businesses
with limited institutional backing, limited operating history, and no publicly available financial information.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Digital assets traded on a blockchain do not rely
on a trusted intermediary or depository institution. The participation in trading platforms requires users to take on credit risk by transferring
digital assets from a personal account to a third party&#8217;s account. Accordingly, we are exposed to credit risk with respect to our
counterparties in each transaction, including transactions directly with a counterparty sourced through an exchange or over the counter
trading desk, as well as transactions directly with such an exchange. Digital asset exchanges may impose daily, weekly, monthly, or customer-specific&#160;transaction
or distribution limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of digital assets for fiat currency difficult or impossible.
Additionally, digital asset prices and valuations on exchanges have been volatile and subject to influence by many factors, including
the levels of liquidity on particular platforms and operational interruptions and disruptions. The prices and valuation of digital assets
remain subject to any volatility experienced by trading platforms, and any such volatility can adversely affect our digital asset holdings
and the value of the digital assets we mine. It is possible that while engaging in transactions with various digital asset platforms located
throughout the world, any such platform may cease operations voluntarily or involuntarily due to theft, fraud, security breach, liquidity
issues, or government investigation without any recourse available to us.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Digital asset platforms are appealing targets
for cybercrime, hackers, and malware and have been shut down or experienced losses of assets placed on the exchange as a result of cybercrime,
and any such event is likely to result in the complete loss of assets placed on such a platform. Any governmental or regulatory action
against such a digital asset trading platform may cause assets on such exchange to become frozen for a substantial period of time or forfeited,
and could result in material opportunity costs or even in the total loss of such assets. In addition, banks may refuse to process or support
wire transfers to or from digital asset trading platforms.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">There are a limited number of digital asset trading
platforms in operation, and many operate in jurisdictions outside of the United States. Trading on digital asset platforms outside of
the United States may involve certain risks not applicable to trading on digital asset exchanges that operate in the United States. Foreign
markets may be subject to instability, temporary closures due to fraud, business failure, local capital requirements or government-mandated&#160;regulations.
Digital asset platforms located outside the United States may not be subject to regulatory, investigative, or prosecutorial authority
through which an action or complaint regarding missing or stolen digital assets may be brought. Additionally, due to lack of globally
consistent treatment and regulation of digital assets, certain platforms located outside the United States may not be currently available
to, or may in the future become unavailable to, certain persons or entities based on their country of domicile, including the United States.
While we perform diligence on our counterparties and any digital asset trading platforms that we may use, it may be difficult, or even
impossible, to sufficiently verify the ultimate ownership and control of a digital asset trading platform and other information for evaluating
the risks associated with such counterparty or platform. Any of our digital assets that reside on a trading platform that shuts down may
be permanently unrecoverable, misapplied or otherwise lost. Additionally, to the extent that the digital asset platforms representing
a substantial portion of the trading volume in particular digital asset are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other
operational issues, such failures may result in loss or less favorable prices of the digital assets and may adversely affect our business
and our operations.</p><div>

cryptocurrencies and operations of our Lion NFT platform, are dependent upon the internet. A significant disruption in internet connectivity
could disrupt a digital asset network&#8217;s operations until the disruption is resolved and have an adverse effect on the price of cryptocurrencies
and our ability to mine cryptocurrencies. A broadly accepted and widely adopted decentralized network is necessary for most digital assets
networks to function as intended. Features of digital asset networks, such as decentralization, open source protocol, and reliance on
peer-to-peer&#160;connectivity, are essential to preserve the stability of the network and decrease the risk of fraud or cyber-attacks.
A disruption of the internet or a digital asset network would affect the ability to transfer digital assets, and consequently, their value,
as well as our ability to mine digital assets. A significant disruption of internet connectivity (e.g., affecting large numbers of users
or geographic regions) could prevent a digital asset network&#8217;s functionality and operations until the internet disruption is resolved.
A disruption of the internet may affect the functioning of digital asset networks and the use of digital assets.</p><div>

of Lion NFT platform requires significant public confidence in our ability, or our service providers, if any, to properly manage customers&#8217;
balances and assets and handle large transaction volumes and amounts of customer funds. In addition, we may be dependent on our service
providers&#8217; operations, liquidity, and financial condition for the proper maintenance, use, and safekeeping of these customer assets.
Although the Lion NFT platform does not provide digital wallet services to its users, the Lion NFT platform allows its users to connect
and link their own digital wallets, such as Metamask, to the Lion NFT platform, therefore, any failure by our service providers to maintain
the necessary controls or to manage customers&#8217; crypto assets and funds appropriately and in compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements could result in reputational harm, significant financial losses, lead customers to discontinue or reduce their use of our
and our service providers&#8217; products, and result in significant penalties and fines and additional restrictions, which could adversely
impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. For NFTs held by users, we do not provide custody services either directly
or indirectly, and neither we have control of these digital assets nor do we have any related liability. They are off-balance sheet in

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In January 2022, we announced the launch of our
NFT platform where collectors will be able to purchase MetaWords NFTs and resell the MetaWords NFTs. In the future, the creators on the
Lion NFT platform may be able to make blockchain-encrypted design items, such as artwork, available as NFTs for digital purchase through
the Lion NFT platform, utilizing BNB. NFTs are digital assets recorded on a blockchain ledger for verification of authenticity and ownership
of a unique digital asset, such as artwork. Given the increased scrutiny of digital assets as well as cryptocurrencies for regulatory
and anti-money laundering purposes, it is possible that the U.S. and other jurisdictions will engage in increased scrutiny and regulation
of NFTs and our business. While NFTs and cryptocurrencies are similar in that both are based on blockchain technology, unlike cryptocurrency
units, which are fungible, NFTs have unique identification codes and represent content on the blockchain. The record of ownership of the
NFT, which establishes authenticity and may also carry other rights, cannot be duplicated. As NFTs are a relatively new and emerging type
of digital asset, the regulatory, commercial, and legal framework governing NFTs is likely to evolve both in the United States and internationally
and implicates issues regarding a range of matters, including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights, privacy and cybersecurity,
fraud, anti-money laundering, sanctions, and currency, commodity, and securities law implications.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">NFTs, and our NFT platform (including our facilitation
of transactions in BNB), may also be subject to regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (&#8220;FinCEN&#8221;) of the
U.S. Department of Treasury and the Bank Secrecy Act. The nature of many NFT transactions also involve circumstances which present higher
risks for potential violations, such as anonymity, subjective valuation, use of intermediaries, lack of transparency, and decentralization
associated with blockchain technology. However, we require our users to provide their identity cards to verify their identities and citizenship
at registration. In addition, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has stated that cryptocurrencies, with which NFTs have some similarities,
fall within the definition of &#8220;commodities.&#8221; If NFTs were deemed to be a commodity, NFT transactions could be subject to prohibitions
on deceptive and manipulative trading or restrictions on manner of trading (e.g., on a registered derivatives exchange), depending on
how the transaction is conducted. Moreover, if NFTs were deemed to be a &#8220;security,&#8221; it could raise federal and state securities
law implications, including exemption or registration requirements for marketplaces for NFT transactions, sellers of NFTs, and the NFT
transactions themselves, as well as liability issues, such as insider trading or material omissions or misstatements, among others. NFT
transactions may also be subject to laws governing virtual currency or money transmission. For example, New York has legislation regarding
the operation of virtual currency businesses. The Office of Foreign Assets Controls (&#8220;OFAC&#8221;) has signaled that sanctions could
apply to digital transactions and has pursued enforcement actions involving cryptocurrencies and digital asset accounts. This could expose
us to future allegations of violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, including any applicable KYC and Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations
(&#8220;AML&#8221;), or sanctions compliance obligations among others. In addition governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our
business that we believe are inapplicable, and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws which would
negatively impact our business. NFT transactions also raise issues regarding compliance with laws of foreign jurisdictions, many of which
present complex compliance issues and may conflict with one another. &#160;Our launch and operation of our NFT platform (including our
facilitation of transactions in BNB, in connection therewith) expose us to the foregoing risks, among others, any of which could materially
and adversely affect the success of our NFT platform and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and
prospects. However, the Lion NFT platform establishes a IP blacklist to block the users from U.S. sanctioned countries and the U.S. and
does not allow U.S. citizens or residents to open an account with us.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As the market for NFTs is relatively nascent,
it is difficult to predict how the legal and regulatory framework around NFTs will develop and how such developments will impact our business
and our NFT platform. Further, market acceptance of NFTs is uncertain as buyers may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with digital assets
generally, how to transact in digital assets, or how to assess the value of NFTs. The launch of our NFT platform also subjects us to risks
similar to those associated with any new platform offering, including, but not limited to, our ability to accurately anticipate market
demand and acceptance, our ability to successfully launch our new NFT platform offering, creator and buyer acceptance, technical issues
with the operation of our new NFT platform, and legal and regulatory risks as discussed above. We believe these risks may be heightened
with respect to our NFT platform, as NFTs are still considered a relatively novel concept. If we fail to accurately anticipate or manage
the risks associated with our NFT platform or with our facilitation of cryptocurrency transactions, or if we directly or indirectly become
subject to disputes, liability, or other legal or regulatory issues in connection with our NFT platform or cryptocurrency transactions,
our NFT platform may not be successful and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects could be
materially harmed.</p><div>

market, if we are unable to properly characterize a crypto asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and inquiries. It is possible
that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the
SEC and its staff. Public statements by senior officials at the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin
or Ethereum are securities (in their current form). Despite the conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the
likelihood of a particular crypto asset, all other crypto assets may be considered a 'security' under applicable laws.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based&#160;approach
to classifying crypto assets as &#8220;securities,&#8221; while other foreign jurisdictions have adopted a narrower approach. As a result,
certain crypto assets may be deemed to be a &#8220;security&#8221; under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various foreign
jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of crypto assets
as &#8220;securities.&#8221;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The classification of a crypto asset as a security
under applicable law has wide-ranging&#160;implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer, sale, trading, and clearing
of such assets. For example, a crypto asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United
States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons
that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a &#8220;broker&#8221;
or &#8220;dealer.&#8221; Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are securities in the United
States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption. Persons facilitating
clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have
similar licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We have procedures to analyze whether crypto assets
that we seek to facilitate trading on our platform could be deemed to be a &#8220;security&#8221; under applicable laws. Before we expanded
our business into the NFT business, the management determined not to initiate any initial coin offering which is likely to be deemed as
securities offering. The management also decided not to offer its NFTs to any U.S. persons and therefore, the company has established
its KYC procedures and IP blacklist to avoid selling any NFTs to U.S. persons. Our policies and procedures do not constitute a legal standard,
but rather represent a framework for our analysis, which permits us to make a risk-based&#160;assessment regarding the likelihood that
a particular crypto asset could be deemed a &#8220;security&#8221; under applicable laws. Regardless of our conclusions, we could be subject
to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a supported
crypto asset currently offered, sold, or traded on our platform is a &#8220;security&#8221; under applicable laws. Because our NFTs issued
on our Lion NFT platform were not registered with the SEC, we only permit trading on our core platform of those crypto assets for which
we determine there are reasonably sound arguments to conclude that the crypto asset is not a security. We believe that our process reflects
a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis and is reasonably designed to facilitate consistent application of available legal guidance to
crypto assets to facilitate informed risk-based&#160;business judgment. However, we recognize that the application of securities laws
to the specific facts and circumstances of crypto assets may be complex and subject to change, and that a listing determination does not
guarantee any conclusion under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect our risk assessment policies and procedures to continuously
evolve to take into account case law, facts, and developments in technology.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">There can be no assurances that we will properly
characterize any given crypto asset as a security or non-security&#160;for purposes of determining whether our platform will support trading
of the crypto asset, or that the SEC, foreign regulatory authority, or a court, if the question was presented to it, would agree with
our assessment. If the SEC, state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a supported crypto asset currently
offered, sold, or traded on our platform is a security, we would not be able to offer such crypto asset for trading until we are able
to do so in a compliant manner. A determination by the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an asset that we
currently support for trading on our Lion NFT platform constitutes a security may also result in us determining that it is advisable to
remove assets from our Lion NFT platform that have similar characteristics to the asset that was determined to be a security. In addition,
we could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the crypto asset in compliance with the registration
requirements, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and
desist orders, as well as civil monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that
traded such supported crypto asset on our Lion NFT platform and suffered trading losses could also seek to rescind a transaction that
we facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject us to significant liability. We
may also be required to cease facilitating transactions in the supported crypto asset other than via our licensed subsidiaries, which
could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, if we remove any assets from trading on
our platform, our decision may be unpopular with users and may reduce our ability to attract and retain customers, especially if such
assets remain traded on unregulated exchanges, which includes many of our competitors.</p><div>

been verified and recorded in a block that is added to a blockchain, an incorrect transfer of digital assets or a theft thereof generally
will not be reversible, and we may not have sufficient recourse to recover our losses from any such transfer or theft. It is possible
that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our digital assets could be transferred in incorrect amounts

a participant will simultaneously buy one currency and sell another, with the two currencies together referred to as a currency pair.
The investor is speculating that one currency will appreciate in relation to the counter currency in the currency pair, and it will make
a profit or suffer a loss depending on the difference between the exchange rates at which the investor opens and closes its position.
In response to a request for a quotation, market makers will quote the bid and ask prices simultaneously and the client will decide whether
to enter into a contract to buy (long) or sell (short) an asset at that price.</p><div>

order request with the spot currency pairs offered by market makers. We do not normally intervene in the trade, other than to apply our

This same process is used when a client liquidates a position. Our platform processes the trade by applying a uniform spread to the mid-price
calculated from the preferred data feed. Forex traders can also engage in customizable forward transactions or futures speculation prior
to the expiration of currency futures contracts. In addition, traders can amplify their profits or losses by leveraging their trades,
and we offer up to 100:1 leverage to certain of our clients. See <i>&#8220;Risk Factors&#160;&#8212; Risks Related to Our Business and

Our trading platform allows users to trade approximately 100&#160;futures products on major futures exchanges worldwide (excluding the

Prudential, AIA, Manulife, MassMutual, BOC Life and AXA. Our clients, who largely rely on offline channels, are now also able to compare
various insurance products through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app that launched in April&#160;2020 and sign the insurance policies
during face-to-face meetings with our insurance agents located in Hong&#160;Kong.</p><div>

the border and resumption of normal travel between Hong Kong and Mainland China at the beginning of the year 2023, more than 628,000 mainland
tourists have visited Hong Kong from January to February 2023, which is 75 times higher than the same period in 2022. Further, Hong Kong
insurance sold to mainland Chinese visitors have seen a resurgence in 2022, as the total value of new office premiums for insurances sold
to mainland Chinese customers, reached HK$2.1 billion in 2022, tripled from 2021 (HK$0.7 billion).</p><div>

2,623, 2,357, and 1,708, respectively. We generated commission income of US$1.0 million, US$0.5 million, and US$0.5 in the same periods,
respectively. Our insurance commission income has decreased over the past few years largely due to a significant decrease in PRC residents
purchasing insurance policies in Hong Kong. This is caused by more stringent enforcement of foreign exchange controls in China, such as
more cumbersome procedures for PRC residents to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars to pay insurance premiums in Hong
Kong and the imposition of daily limits on electronic payments, as well as the unstable political environment in Hong Kong in 2019 and
travel restrictions imposed due to COVID-19 which commenced in 2020 and ended in December 2022, which discouraged PRC residents from purchasing
insurance in Hong Kong.</span>&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our business operations depend on a variety of
services from third parties including banks, brokers, stock exchanges, information technology service providers and electronic payment
service providers. For instance, in providing certain of our CFD trading services, we rely heavily on a small number of established third-party
market makers. If any third party that we rely on ceases its cooperation with us, we may be unable to execute certain trades and our results
of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We regularly interact with our suppliers and strive to maintain cooperative relationships
with them. We also periodically review engagements with major suppliers to make sure the terms are satisfactory to both sides.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We define business model risk as the risk arising
from the nature of our business and the way we conduct business. Our business model risk includes market risk, credit risk, liquidity

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">When we facilitate instant execution of client
trades, we may be subject to market risk if the trade of one client cannot be naturally offset by the trade of another client, in which
case we may act as a principal in trading with the client and take a position. We constantly monitor our exposure to the market against
our pre-determined market risk limit. When our exposure exceeds the limit, we hedge our position to bring our exposure back to the limit.
The market risk limit represents the maximum (long or short) net exposure we will hold without any hedging. In accordance with the methodology
in our risk management policy, we set our market risk limit based on our risk appetite with reference to the expected liquidity and volatility
of the underlying financial products, aiming to achieve an optimal balance among facilitating client&#8217;s trades, controlling our cost
of hedging and maximizing our daily revenue.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We may also be subject to residual market risk
caused by market gaps, which may occur when a product price changes suddenly in a single large movement, often at the opening of a trading
day, rather than in small incremental steps. In this situation, we may have difficulty adjusting our hedging in a timely manner and thereby
incur a potential loss. We conduct regular scenario-based stress tests that analyze the impact of potential market gap events and take
preventive actions to mitigate the impact caused by residual market risk.</p><div>

to evaluate our credit risk. We regularly review our credit policies and set appropriate credit limits for our clients. In determining
the credit limit of a particular client, we consider its investment pattern, the history of its daily closing positions, the types of
products it has previously invested in and the security it has placed with us. We only allow a client to place purchase orders within
its trading limit using cash deposited in its designated account with us. We require the client selling shares to provide necessary documents
evidencing that the shares are deposited with a securities clearing and settlement system of a recognized securities exchange.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We also measure the pre-settlement credit exposure
and the settlement risk of all our clients to manage our overall credit exposure. We take into account the number of clients with open
positions, the products for which clients have open positions, the concentration of open positions on any given securities and other relevant
factual circumstances. Whenever our overall pre-settlement credit exposure is unusually high on any given day, we investigate the causes
and may reduce the limit on each client in order to control our overall credit exposure.</p><div>

are regulated by the CIMA in the Cayman Islands, the HKSFC, the Hong&#160;Kong Insurance Authority and Hong&#160;Kong Customs and Excise
Department in Hong&#160;Kong. We (in particular Lion Brokers Limited) must submit annual audit reports to the CIMA and HKSFC and are subject

and require them to strictly adhere to our compliance manual. We have also adopted specific compliance measures for KYC, asset protection,

and understand the background of each of our prospective clients before establishing business relationships with them. These measures
include, among others, checking potential clients, passports or identity cards, maintaining a robust file management system in which client
files are retained and corresponding reference numbers and relevant details are recorded to the extent practicable, interviewing prospective
clients personally as appropriate and needed and verifying the identities of the directors or partners of our prospective institutional
clients. To reduce the risk of being subject to complex U.S.&#160;laws and regulations, we do not allow U.S.&#160;citizens or residents
to open an account with us. We have two separate teams conduct our KYC procedure on new clients&#8217; backgrounds and identify manually

all U.S. citizens and residents at all time. See &#8220;<i>Risk Factors&#160;&#8212;&#160;Risks Related to Our Business and Industry&#160;&#8212;&#160;We

In addition, anonymous accounts are generally not allowed to be opened, heightened scrutiny measures are imposed on accounts opened on
behalf of third parties and additional verification measures are conducted before we accept third party payments against the accounts
of our clients. Besides that, we have explicitly excluded the U.S. market and the U.S. residents from our scope of business and services
at the application of CIMA Full Securities Investment Business License with the CIMA. We shall reapply the CIMA Full Securities Investment
Business License with the CIMA provided that we have any change in our business scope.</p><div>

AML compliance process. The GRADA Platform was developed by Global Risk and Data Authority Ltd. and is a simple online solution for financial
service providers to address complex issues relating to AML and other global compliance and regulatory initiatives. The GRADA platform
integrates with third party confirmation service providers to crosscheck and ensure the authenticity of the documentation provided, and
we ask our clients to upload their information and relevant materials onto the GRADA platform for verification and validation. The GRADA
Platform will then assess the risk level of the prospective clients opening an account with us and sort them into high-risk, medium-risk
or low-risk clients based on the information in their database. The applications from prospective clients in the low-risk or medium-risk
categories will be approved automatically, while additional procedures, including human intervention, will be carried out before applications
from prospective clients in the high-risk category can be approved.</p><div>

in segregated accounts, and strict guidelines are required to be followed every time a client&#8217;s money flows into or out of the segregated
accounts. Such transactions take place in a manner that is in accordance with the authority and the specific instructions our clients
give us. We will not deploy a client&#8217;s money in any way that will be deemed unconscionable, and we are prohibited from paying any
client&#8217;s money to any of our officers, employees or related parties.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In December&#160;2019, COVID-19 emerged and
has subsequently spread worldwide. In March&#160;2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. In the fiscal
year of 2021, some instances of COVID-19 infections emerged in various regions worldwide. Governments around the globe have taken
measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including quarantining individuals infected with or suspected of having
COVID-19, prohibiting residents from free travel, encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling
public activities, among others. The COVID-19 had also resulted in temporary closure of many corporate offices and factories around
the world. In addition, as the outbreak threatened global economies, it caused significant market volatility and declines in general
economic activities. Since December 2021, there has been a recurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks in China and Hong Kong due to the Delta
and Omicron variants. During the year of 2022, other countries in the world lifted COVID travel restrictions, while China sticked to
its stringent COVID control and prevention measures, resulting in a series of regional lockdowns amid a sharp resurgence in COVID
cases until China began to modify its zero COVID strategy in the last month of 2022.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Like most companies, our various business lines
have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. CFD trading volume and futures contract volumes decreased significantly since the beginning
of 2020, which was mainly attributable to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on our customers, causing a decrease
in both their willingness to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated to making such transactions. Meanwhile,
our insurance brokerage businesses were negatively affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong&#160;Kong
to open new futures trading accounts or purchase insurance products. At the end of 2022 and in the beginning of 2023, China was seeing
COVID infections to surge rapidly as the border controls, travel and social restrictions, and quarantine requirements were relaxed. Although
the cases worldwide subdued, WHO has not declared an end to the COVID-19 pandemic yet. There remains uncertainty as to the impact of
COVID-19&#8217;s on the Group&#8217;s businesses, and the extent to which the pandemic impacts our results of operations going forward
will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including the frequency, duration and extent of outbreaks
of COVID-19, the appearance of new variants with different characteristics, the effectiveness of efforts to contain or treat cases, and
future actions that may be taken in response to these developments.</p><div>

in late May&#160;2021 and have ceased our Bitcoin mining operations at the end of October 2021. We operated a fleet of 5,000 Bitmain&#8217;s
model S9 Hydro Antminers, with a theoretical maximum total hash rate capacity of 90 PH/s (petahash) deployed as of today. We closely monitored
our Bitcoin mining operation on a daily basis. All the mined Bitcoins have been distributed by Antpool to our cold wallets. We stored
the mined Bitcoins in hardware wallets (or known as cold wallets), which were safeguarded in the safety boxes in our office. The keys
and passwords of the safety boxes are separately held by our different staff. We held the mined Bitcoins and converted into USDT when
it was commercially justified. From May 2021 to October 2021, we mined approximately 37.884 Bitcoins, and we converted all of our mined
Bitcoin at an average price of USDT 45,567 per Bitcoin. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of US$1.7&#160;million
from Bitcoin mining business. As of December 31, 2021, we have liquidated all the USDT. As of December 31, 2021, we have no Bitcoin and
no USDT on our balance sheet. For the period from May 2021 to October 2021, our Bitcoin mining operations was immaterial to our operations

items) on an unconsolidated basis.</p><div>

and greater efforts on energy conservation and emission reduction, the large amount of electricity required for mining was becoming increasingly
inaccessible. Lately in September&#160;2021, China&#8217;s National Development and Reform Commission, People&#8217;s Bank of China and
several other ministerial departments jointly issued administrative notices on restricting the development of mining activities and preventing
the derived financial risks related to cryptocurrency trading hype. The administrative measures included in the notices are aimed at restraining
the supply of electricity to the mining business, and ultimately prompting existing mining facilities to gradually withdraw from the mining
business. We voluntarily ceased our Bitcoin mining operations at the end of October 2021, in response to the hiked electricity cost as
well as to the change of the regulatory environment in the PRC. We did not receive any penalty or notice from the PRC governments as a
result of the recent development of the PRC crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities.</p><div>

The sales were conducted through an online auction and blind boxes direct sell on the Lion NFT platform. The sale price was received in
the form of wrapped BNB and BNB tokens. We sold in an aggregate of six MetaWords NFTs created by us by the auction in the amount of 197
wrapped BNB, and 2,742 blind-boxes which includes MetaWords NFTs at 0.40 BNB per unit for a total amount of 749 BNB, net of the consideration

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During 2022, a number of companies in the crypto
industry have declared bankruptcy, including ore Scientific Inc., Celsius Network LLC (&#8220;Celsius&#8221;), Voyager Digital Ltd., Three
Arrows Capital, BlockFi Lending LLC, and FTX Trading Ltd. (&#8220;FTX&#8221;). In June 2022, Celsius began pausing all withdrawals and
transfers between accounts on its platform, and in July 2022, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Further, in November 2022,
FTX, one of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Such bankruptcies have contributed, at least in
part, to further price decreases in most crypto assets, a loss of confidence in the participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative
publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly, and other participants and entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may
continue to be, negatively affected. These events have also negatively impacted the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain
entities affiliated with FTX engaged in significant trading activity. We have not been directly impacted by any of the recent bankruptcies
in the crypto asset space, as we have no contractual privity or relationship to the relevant parties. We do not expect that we will have
material assets that may not be recovered or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated due to the bankruptcies. As of December 31, 2022,
the Group considers the value of the NFTs held by the Group is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. In
accordance with the accounting policies mentioned above, the Group initially capitalized the costs of NFTs in intangible assets which
primarily included the gas fees, the blockchain transaction fee paid to network validators for their services, in an aggregate of less
than $1,000, and subsequently determined to fully impair. Gas fees were paid by BNB tokens and measured at the fair value of the tokens
on the date paid. As a result, as of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of NFTs included in intangible assets was zero. The failure

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our principal businesses are providing CFD trading,
TRS trading and futures brokerage services to our clients. Our results of operations are directly affected by the demand for such services
of our existing and potential clients, which are predominantly Chinese investors living both in and outside of China. Their demand for
our services arises from the progressive increases of their investable assets and willingness to allocate more of these assets into global
financial markets.</p><div>

jurisdictions, such as the U.S., China and Hong&#160;Kong, could affect our clients&#8217; perception of the market sentiment, which may
change their investment decisions. For instance, as a result of the social unrest in Hong&#160;Kong in 2019 and 2020, a significant amount
of our potential insurance brokerage clients chose not to&#160;purchase insurance products in Hong&#160;Kong, which adversely impacted
our insurance commission income.</p><div>

global market conditions, especially the fluctuation and volatility of trading activities on major exchanges worldwide. Since the first
half of 2020, global market reacted to a series of unpredictability such as COVID-19, oil price, and heightened trade and geopolitical
tensions with fluctuation and volatility, repeatedly triggering market wide circuit breaker. Recently, eruptions of regional tensions,
such as the ongoing military conflict involving Ukraine and Russia, and the related sanctions against Russia have resulted in major economic
shocks worldwide and substantial volatility across global financial markets. These and other economic factors could materially and adversely
affect demand for our products and services.</p><div>

commissions, bid/offer spreads, trading profit and difference in interest rates for transactions on our platform. Generally speaking,
the larger the number of transactions carried out on our platform, and the larger the size of those transactions, the greater will be
our revenue. We generated a substantial portion of our revenue from a small number of key clients and revenues from our larger clients
have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on their trading volume. Our total revenue-generating client accounts
increased from 1,722 as of December 31, 2017 to 4,047 as of December 31, 2019, and continued to increase to 5,010 as of December 31, 2020

to manage our costs and expenses. The commission expenses and interest rates we pay to our business partners, such as prime brokers and
clearing houses, have historically constituted a significant portion of our total expenses. For us to maintain and expand our profitability,
we must make sure that our commission expenses remain at a reasonable or reduced level while our own commissions and fees stay at comparable
or higher rates. This will depend on going market rates and our ability to successfully negotiate with our partners. We believe that as
our user base and our platform continue to grow, that we will have greater leverage in dealing with our business partners, allowing us
to negotiate improved commission rates and interest rates.</p><div>

introduce new regulations or impose greater restrictions on us, we may incur additional compliance costs. Certain changes could further
cause us to change our business model or transactional processes to comply with these new requirements. We may also be subject to new
taxes or cumbersome reporting obligations, which will bring heavier financial burden to us. If we fail to comply with any of the applicable
regulations, we may be subject to monetary penalties, which would also affect our results of operations. Further, if we expand into new
markets such as Southeast Asia, our operations in those markets will be subject to local regulations which could also prove burdensome.
In addition, governmental policies and regulatory environment such as any capital control measures that impose restrictions on cross-border
transfer also affect our business and results of operations.</p><div>

consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated, both in absolute amount and as a percentage of our revenues for the periods
indicated. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in
this annual report. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to predict our future operating results. We believe that the period-to-period
comparison of operating results should not be relied upon as being indicative of our future performance. Our results for the year ended
December&#160;31, 2020 have been restated as a result of the discussion included in the Company&#8217;s Current Report on Form&#160;6-K,
filed with the SEC on June&#160;11, 2021.</p><div>

from an income of US$13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a loss of US$(0.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2022,
due to the trading gains/(losses) from our proprietary TRS trading activities which decreased by US$15.0 million from an income of US$11.1
million to a loss of US$(3.9) million, and a decrease of US$0.2 million in commissions and other income partially offset by an increase
of US$1.4 million in interest income earned on loans provided to TRS trading customers. Our proprietary TRS trading activities suffered
significant losses from Chinese stock markets&#8217; high fluctuations in 2022, which was caused by China&#8217;s dismal economic outlook,
renewed lock-downs in cities across China resulting from the stringent zero-Covid policy, heightened geopolitical tensions such as U.S.-China
relation, escalated friction over Taiwan Strait, and unpredictable regional military conflict worldwide etc.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>CFD Trading Services Income. </i>We derive
a substantial portion of income from CFD trading services from a small number of key clients. As a result, earnings generated from our
CFD trading services have demonstrated high volatility historically. Revenue generated from CFD trading services decreased by US$15.4
million from an income of US$8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a loss of US$(6.7) million for the year ended December
31, 2022, primarily attributable to an increase of US$11.9 million in trading losses and a decrease of US$3.5 million in commission income.
CFD trading losses increased from trading gains of US$4.4&#160;million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to trading losses of US$(7.5)&#160;million
for the year ended December 31, 2022. We suffered significant losses from acting as counterparty to our clients&#8217; CFD trades in 2022,
particularly in the first half as a result of fluctuation and volatility of the global financial markets in reaction to a series of unpredictable
events, such as the Russia and Ukraine conflict, Europe&#8217;s energy crisis, surging inflation and climbing interest rates in the U.S.
and Europe, China&#8217;s housing market slump etc.. These events impacted major stock indexes, commodity markets including crude oil
and metal, and the foreign exchange market. Market making commission income decreased from $4.3&#160;million for the year ended December
31, 2021 to $0.8&#160;million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was mainly attributable to China&#8217;s tightened restrictions
on promotion and advertisements related to internet financial products and services, leading to a significant decrease in the number of
new accounts opened through online advertising.</p><div>

crypto currency mining, commission income from securities, futures and derivative brokerage services, CFD trading services as well as
insurance brokerage services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant
judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time, how to allocate transaction
prices where multiple performance obligations are identified, when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of progress under
the contract, whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs, and whether constraints on variable consideration including
noncash consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We review other long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. In evaluating
long-lived assets for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows at the individual asset or asset group level. If the future undiscounted
cash flows result in a value that is less than the carrying value, then the long-lived asset is considered impaired and a loss is recognized
based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Various factors that we use in determining the impact
of these assessments include the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in
excess of the carrying amounts of such asset or asset groups, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets,
changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes
in expected future cash flows. Because judgment is involved in determining the fair value of long-lived assets, there is risk that the
carrying value of these assets may require adjustment in future periods.</p><div>

and 5,375,000 Private Warrants remained outstanding. We evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging&#8212;Contracts
in Entity&#8217;s Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders&#8217; equity. Since the
Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, we recorded these Warrants as liabilities on the balance
sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss)
and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date. Because the Public Warrants were publicly traded and
thus had an observable market price, fair value adjustments were determined by utilizing the market prices whereas the Private Warrants
were valued using a Black-Sholes-Merton pricing model as described in &#8220;Note 5 &#8211; Fair Value&#8221;, to the consolidated financial
statements. The changes in the fair value of the Warrants may be material to our future operating results.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Determining the appropriate valuation model and
estimating the fair values of warrant liabilities requires the input of subjective assumptions, including risk-free interest rate, expected
stock price volatility, dividend yields, and expected term. The expected volatility assumption is based partially upon the historical
volatility of our ordinary shares, which may or may not be a true indicator of future volatility. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair values of warrants liability represent management&#8217;s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties
and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, changes in fair value of warrants
liabilities could be significantly different from what we recorded in the current period.</p><div>

(loss) income before change in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts, depreciation
expenses and impairment of fixed assets) and Non-GAAP EPS differs from EPS based on net (loss) income because it does not include change
in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts, depreciation expenses and impairment of
fixed assets. We use this information internally in evaluating our operations and believe this information is important to investors because
it provides users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance for the periods
and is more consistently comparable to the prior periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-GAAP (loss) income and Non-GAAP EPS should
not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income and EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP.&#160;The
following is a reconciliation of our net (loss) income to Non-GAAP (loss) income and GAAP EPS to our Non-GAAP EPS:</p><div>

generally will be considered to be resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in its place of organization or incorporation. Accordingly,
under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, we, a Cayman Islands-incorporated entity, would generally be classified
as a&#160;non-U.S.&#160;corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident). Section&#160;7874 of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, however, contain specific rules (more fully discussed below) that may cause a&#160;non-U.S.&#160;corporation to be treated
as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a U.S. corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes under section 7874, we would be liable for U.S. federal income tax on its income like any other U.S. corporation,
and certain distributions made by us to&#160;non-U.S.&#160;holders of our Securities would be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Taxation
as a U.S. corporation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results from operations. The section 7874 rules
are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties
as to their application.</p><div>

Test, at least 60% (but less than 80%), by either vote or value, of the shares of ours by reason of holding stock in Proficient (the &#8220;<i>60%

foreign corporation will generally be classified as a CFC if more than 50% of its outstanding shares, measured by reference to voting
power or value, are owned (directly, indirectly or constructively under section 318 of the Code) by &#8220;10% U.S. Shareholders.&#8221;
For this purpose, a &#8220;10% U.S. Shareholder&#8221; is any U.S. person that owns directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of such foreign corporation. Additionally, as a result of changes introduced by
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, even absent 10% U.S. Shareholders with direct or indirect interests in a foreign corporation, a U.S. subsidiary
of ours alone may cause certain related foreign corporations to be treated as CFCs by reason of &#8220;downward attribution.&#8221; Given
that we are publicly held, the constructive ownership rules under section 318 of the Code may make it difficult to determine whether any
U.S. person is a 10% U.S. Shareholder of ours and our non-U.S. subsidiaries and whether we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is a CFC.
Because we include one or more U.S. subsidiaries (e.g., Proficient), our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs (regardless of
whether we are treated as a CFC), depending on our structure after the Business Combination.</p><div>

F income,&#8221; &#8220;global intangible low-taxed income&#8221; and investments in U.S. property held by CFCs, regardless whether any
distributions are made. In addition, gain on the sale of the CFC stock by a 10% U.S. Shareholder (during the period that the corporation
is a CFC and thereafter for a five-year period) would be classified in whole or in part as a dividend, to the extent of certain of the
CFC&#8217;s earnings and profits. An individual that is a 10% U.S. Shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain
tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a 10% U.S. Shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with
these reporting and tax paying obligations may subject a 10% U.S. Shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute
of limitations with respect to such shareholder&#8217;s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting.
We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated
as a CFC or whether any investor is treated as a 10% U.S. Shareholder with respect to any such CFC or furnish to any 10% U.S. Shareholders
information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A United States investor should

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In certain circumstances, legislation commonly
known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, which is referred to herein as FATCA, imposes a withholding tax of 30% on U.S.-source
interest and dividend income received by certain non-U.S. financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution
(i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in,
and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons or by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or
partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between
the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information
with the U.S. authorities. Similarly, U.S.-source interest and dividends received by a holder that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity
that does not qualify under certain exemptions will generally be subject to withholding at a tax rate of 30%, unless such entity either
(i) certifies that such entity does not have any &#8220;substantial United States owners&#8221; or (ii) provides certain information regarding
the entity&#8217;s &#8220;substantial United States owners,&#8221; which the payor will generally be required to provide to the IRS. The
IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that would generally not apply these
withholding requirements to gross proceeds from asset dispositions. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable
foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which the shares of our Securities are held will affect
the determination of whether such withholding is required. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications
of the FATCA rules in their particular situations.</p><div>

and ceased in October 2021. For the year ended December&#160;31, 2021, our revenue derived from Bitcoin mining was approximately $1.7&#160;million.
A 10% increase or decrease in the market value of Bitcoin over the course of the year ended December&#160;31, 2021, would not have material
impact on our operations. However, given we sell Bitcoin to generate revenue and cover operating expenses, including capital expenditures,
during the year, increases or decreases in the market value of Bitcoin would have resulted in increased or decreased total revenue. See
&#8220;&#8212; Factors Affecting our Performance &#8212; Market Value of Bitcoin.&#8221;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">When we facilitate instant execution of client
trades, we may be subject to market risk if the trade of one client cannot be naturally offset by the trade of another client, in which
case we may act as a principal in trading with the client and take a position. We constantly monitor our exposure to the market against
our pre-determined market risk limit. When our exposure exceeds the limit, we hedge our position to bring our exposure back to the limit.
The market risk limit represents the maximum (long or short) net exposure we will hold without any hedging. In accordance with the methodology
in our risk management policy, we set our market risk limit based on our risk appetite with reference to the expected liquidity and volatility
of the underlying financial products, aiming to achieve an optimal balance among facilitating client&#8217;s trades, controlling our cost
of hedging and maximizing our daily revenue.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We may also be subject to residual market risk
caused by market gaps, which may occur when a product price changes suddenly in a single large movement, often at the opening of a trading
day, rather than in small incremental steps. In this situation, we may have difficulty adjusting our hedging in a timely manner and thereby
incur a potential loss. We conduct regular scenario-based stress tests that analyze the impact of potential market gap events and take
preventive actions to mitigate the impact caused by residual market risk.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We have a credit risk management system in place
to evaluate our credit risk. We regularly review our credit policies and set appropriate credit limits for our clients. In determining
the credit limit of a particular client, we consider its investment pattern, the history of its daily closing positions, the types of
products it has previously invested in and the security it has placed with us. We only allow a client to place purchase orders within
its trading limit using cash deposited in its designated account with us. We require the client selling shares to provide necessary documents
evidencing that the shares are deposited with a securities clearing and settlement system of a recognized securities exchange.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We set pre-trade quantity limits and price collars
on individual orders. Our system will detect and reject orders that exceed the specified quantity limits or fall outside of the current
acceptable price range. We also impose intra-day net long or short position limits on our clients to prevent their accumulated positions
from exceeding the clearing company&#8217;s financially comfortable levels, as well as to halt potentially errant algorithms.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We also measure the pre-settlement credit exposure
and the settlement risk of all our clients to manage our overall credit exposure. We take into account the number of clients with open
positions, the products for which clients have open positions, the concentration of open positions on any given securities and other relevant
factual circumstances. Whenever our overall pre-settlement credit exposure is unusually high on any given day, we investigate the causes
and may reduce the limit on each client in order to control our overall credit exposure. We have forced liquidation policies for our clients.
For futures trading, we force clients to liquidate when their equity to occupied margin ratio falls below 80%; for CFD trading, we force
clients to liquidate when their net worth to occupied margin ratio falls below 50%.</p><div>

are generally deducted from the cash being distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. In the case
of distributions other than cash (i.e., share dividends, rights), the depositary bank charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date
holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or uncertificated
in direct registration), the depositary bank sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage
and custodian accounts (via DTC), the depositary bank generally collects its fees through the systems provided by DTC (whose nominee is
the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians
who hold their clients&#8217; ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients&#8217; accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary
banks.</p><div>

is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America and
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of
our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our company&#8217;s assets that could
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As a Cayman Islands exempted company listed on
the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Rule 5615(a)(3) of The Listing Rules
of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the &#8220;Nasdaq Rules&#8221;) permits foreign private issuers like us to follow certain home country corporate
governance practices in lieu of certain provisions of the Rule 5600 Series of the Nasdaq Rules. A foreign private issuer that elects to
follow a home country practice instead of such provisions, must disclose in its annual reports each requirement that it does not follow
and describe the home country practice followed by it. Our current corporate governance practices differ from Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements for U.S. companies in certain respects, as summarized below:</p><div>

balance sheets of Lion Group Holding Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the &#8220;Group&#8221;) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders&#8217; equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</p><div>

States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the

standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group&#8217;s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</p><div>

the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.</p><div>

a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, LGHL and
PAAC are treated as the &#8220;acquired&#8221; company for financial reporting purpose. This determination was primarily based on LFGL
comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, LFGL&#8217;s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined
company, and LFGL&#8217;s stockholders having a majority of the voting power of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes,
LFGL is deemed the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The transaction is not a business combination because neither PAAC nor LGHL
was a business under ASC 805. Consequently, the transaction is treated as the equivalent of LFGL issuing stock for the net monetary assets
of PAAC, accompanied by a recapitalization of LFGL. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of LFGL
are the historical financial statements of the combined company, and LGHL and PAAC&#8217;s assets, liabilities and results of operations
are consolidated with LFGL beginning on June 16, 2020.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation><div>

subsequently spread worldwide. In March&#160;2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. In the fiscal year of
2021, some instances of COVID-19 infections emerged in various regions worldwide. Governments around the globe have taken measures to
contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including quarantining individuals infected with or suspected of having COVID-19, prohibiting
residents from free travel, encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling public activities, among others.
COVID-19 has also resulted in temporary closure of many corporate offices and factories around the world. In addition, as the outbreak
continues to threaten global economies, it may continue to cause significant market volatility and declines in general economic activities.
Since December 2021, there has been a recurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks in China and Hong Kong due to the Delta and Omicron variants. During
the year of 2022, other countries in the world lifted COVID travel restrictions, while China sticked to its stringent COVID control and
prevention measures, resulting in a series of regional lockdowns amid a sharp spike in COVID cases until they started to exit from zero
COVID strategy in the last month of 2022. Like most companies, the Group&#8217;s various business lines have been adversely impacted by
COVID-19. CFD trading volume and futures contract volumes decreased significantly since the beginning of 2020, which was mainly attributable
to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on the Group&#8217;s customers, causing a decrease in both their willingness
to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated making such transactions. Furthermore, customers&#8217; concerns
about future unpredictability also caused their trading activity to decline, impacting the Group&#8217;s CFD trading business in particular.
In addition, travel restrictions in Hong&#160;Kong caused cancellations and prevented management from attending branding, business promotion,
and exhibition activities, which limited the opportunities to acquire new customers. Meanwhile, the Group&#8217;s futures and insurance
brokerage businesses were negatively affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong&#160;Kong to open new futures
trading accounts or purchase insurance products. At the end of 2022 and in the beginning of 2023, China was seeing COVID infections to
surge rapidly as the border controls, travel and social restrictions were relaxed. Although the cases worldwide subdued, WHO has not declared
an end to the COVID-19 pandemic yet. Given the uncertainties surrounding the duration of the outbreak, the Group cannot reasonably estimate
the related financial impact to its future financial results. The Group continues to closely monitor the impact and navigate the significant
challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. No impairments were recorded as of the consolidated balance sheet date, as the carrying amounts
of the Group&#8217;s assets are expected to be recoverable.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation><div>

any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison

impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible
to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,

requirements ASC Topic&#160;260, &#8220;Earnings Per Share&#8221;, which requires earnings per share for each class of stock (ordinary
shares and participating securities) to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between
the holders of ordinary shares and a company&#8217;s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting
period are allocated between ordinary shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed
earnings. As the Company&#8217;s two classes of ordinary shares have the same dividend rights, earnings (loss) per share for each class
of ordinary shares have the same results.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div>

The holders of Convertible Debenture and Series&#160;A Warrant do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company&#8217;s losses,
therefore participating securities are excluded from the calculation of loss per share for the&#160;years ended December 31, 2021 and

to impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments &#8212; Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost
basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted
from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the
financial asset. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit
exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual rights to receive
cash. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, the ASU on credit losses will take effect for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this ASU through
a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective
(that is, a modified-retrospective approach). In May&#160;2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial instrument &#8212; Credit Losses (Topic
326), Targeted Transition Relief, which provides an irrevocably fair value option to elect for eligible instruments. In November&#160;2019,
FASB issued ASU 2019-11 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments &#8212; Credit Losses, which clarified and improved
various aspects of ASU 2016-13. In November&#160;2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend private companies, not-for-profit organizations,
and certain small public companies effective date on its credit losses (CECL) standards to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022
and interim periods therein. The Group has evaluated the effect of the adoption of this ASU and does not expect there will be significant
impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance.</p></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div>

framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. Fair value is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value
measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability
or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income
or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation><div>

in certain funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value may qualify for the use of the net asset value (NAV) per share as
a practical expedient, if the net asset value per share of the investment is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles
of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity&#8217;s measurement date. This practical expedient can be applied on an investment-by-investment
basis, and it is an accounting policy election and should be applied consistently from period to period, unless a change is preferable.
In addition, ASC 321 offers a measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values and allows some
entities to elect to record these investments at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent price changes in orderly transactions
for identical or similar investment of the same issuer. An entity elects the measurement alternative on an investment by investment basis.
Once elected, it should be applied to an investment consistently as long as the investment meets the qualifying criteria.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation><div>

provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the warrant holder and because the holder

from being classified in equity and thus the warrant should be classified as a liability.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p></ix:continuation><div>

v
PART I.
Lion Group Holding Ltd is incorporated in Cayman
Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our substantial operations through our subsidiaries in
Hong Kong, Singapore, the Cayman Islands, and the United States, and our apps are available to download in the app stores of China and
most of our users are PRC citizens. As such, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct
of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time. Such governmental actions:
●
could result in a material change in our operations;
●
could hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors; and
●
may cause the value of our ADSs to significantly decline or be worthless.
Currently, we are not aware there are any material
restrictions on foreign exchange, the ability to transfer cash between our entities, or the ability to distribute earnings to investors
outside of China. Further, we are aware that, the Chinese government recently initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements
to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,
enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using entity variable interest entity ("VIE") structure,
adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these
statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will
respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,
if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the Company's business operations in China,
the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. We do not have any VIE agreements with our subsidiaries,
instead, we hold equity interests in our subsidiaries. Any future action by the Chinese government expanding the categories of industries
and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability
to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
For a detailed description of the risks related to doing business in the PRC and our securities, see "Risks Related to Doing Business
in Jurisdictions We Operate" and "Risks Related to our ADSs and our Securities" in the Risk Factors section.
Risks Associated with Having Part of the
Company's Operations in China
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens,
which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China, and expose us to legal and operational risks associated with our operations
in China. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a company with operations in China, including
us, to conduct its business. Changes in China's economic, political or social conditions or government policies could materially
and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We are subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and
the application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the
PRC government on U.S. listed companies. We may also be subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities
Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. Any actions by the PRC government to exert more
oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in companies having operations in China, including
us, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value
of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. These China-related risks could result in a material change in our operations
and/or the value of our securities, or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer securities to investors in
the future and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
The PRC government may exert, at any time, substantial
intervention and influence over the manner our operations. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements
to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,
enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews and
new laws and regulations related to data security, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
1
The regulatory framework for the collection, use,
safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information and important data worldwide is rapidly evolving in PRC and
is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number
of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which became effective in
June 2017, established China's first national-level data protection for "network operators," which may include all organizations
in China that connect to or provide services over the internet or other information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated
by the Standing Committee of PRC National People's Congress, or the SCNPC, on June 10, 2021 and became effective on September 1,
2021, outlines the main system framework of data security protection.
In December 2021, the Cyberspace Administration
of China (the "CAC") promulgated the amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review which require cyberspace operators with personal
information of more than one million users to file for cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office ("CRO"),
in the event such operators plan for an overseas listing. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review provide that, among others, an
application for cybersecurity review must be made by an issuer that is a "critical information infrastructure operator" or
a "data processing operator" as defined therein before such issuer's securities become listed in a foreign country,
if the issuer possesses personal information of more than one million users, and that the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC
may initiate cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator's cyber products or services, data processing
or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect China's national security. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity
Review took effect on February 15, 2022. In August 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China promulgated
the Personal Information Protection Law which became effective on November 1, 2021. The Personal Information Protection Law provides a
comprehensive set of data privacy and protection requirements that apply to the processing of personal information and expands data protection
compliance obligations to cover the processing of personal information of persons by organizations and individuals in China, and the processing
of personal information of persons outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products and services to, or analyzing
and evaluating the behavior of, persons in China. The Personal Information Protection Law also provides that critical information infrastructure
operators and personal information processing entities who process personal information meeting a volume threshold to be set by Chinese
cyberspace regulators are also required to store in China the personal information generated or collected in China, and to pass a security
assessment administered by Chinese cyberspace regulators for any export of such personal information. Moreover, pursuant to the Personal
Information Protection Law, persons who seriously violate this law may be fined for up to RMB50 million or 5% of annual revenues generated
in the prior year and may also be ordered to suspend any related activity by competent authorities.
In November 2021, the CAC released the Regulations
on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network
Data Security provide more detailed guidance on how to implement the general legal requirements under laws such as the Cybersecurity Law,
Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security follow the principle that
the state will regulate based on a data classification and multi-level protection scheme, under which data is largely classified into
three categories: general data, important data and core data. Under the current PRC cybersecurity laws in China, critical information
infrastructure operators that intend to purchase internet products and services that may affect national security must be subject to the
cybersecurity review. On July 30, 2021, the State Council of the PRC promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of
Critical Information Infrastructure, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The regulations require, among others, that certain competent
authorities shall identify critical information infrastructures. If any critical information infrastructure is identified, they shall
promptly notify the relevant operators and the Ministry of Public Security.
Currently, the cybersecurity laws and regulations
have not directly affected our business and operations, but in anticipation of the strengthened implementation of cybersecurity laws and
regulations and the expansion of our business, we face potential risks if we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator
under the Cybersecurity Law. In such case, we must fulfill certain obligations as required under the Cybersecurity Law and other applicable
laws, including, among others, storing personal information and important data collected and produced within the PRC territory during
our operations in China, which we are already doing in our business, and we may be subject to review when purchasing internet products
and services. As of the date of this annual report, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review made by the
CAC on such basis, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions in such respect. Based on the foregoing, we do
not expect that, as of the date of this annual report, the current applicable PRC laws on cybersecurity would have a material adverse
impact on our business.
2
On September 1, 2021, the PRC Data Security Law
became effective, which imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals conducting data-related activities,
and introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development,
as well as the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals
or organizations when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, or illegally acquired or used. As of the date of this annual report,
we have not been involved in any investigations on data security compliance made in connection with the PRC Data Security Law, and we
have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions in such respect. Based on the foregoing, we do not expect that, as of the
date of this annual report, the PRC Data Security Law would have a material adverse impact on our business.
On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC governmental
authorities published the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions
require the relevant regulators to coordinate and accelerate amendments of legislation on the confidentiality and archive management related
to overseas issuance and listing of securities, and to improve the legislation on data security, cross-border data flow and management
of confidential information. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and
the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction
of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. As these opinions
were recently issued, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued yet and the interpretation of these opinions
remains unclear at this stage. As of the date of this annual report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions from
the CSRC or any other PRC government authorities. Based on the foregoing and the currently effective PRC laws, we are of the view that,
as of the date of this annual report, these opinions do not have a material adverse impact on our business.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures
of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, which have come into effect
on March 31, 2023. As a supplement to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, on February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with other authorities,
jointly revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing,
collectively with the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, the Overseas Listing Regulations, which have come into effect on March 31, 2023.
The Overseas Listing Regulations set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration
with the CSRC for PRC domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets. An overseas listing will
constitute an "indirect listing" where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50% or more of the issuer's
operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by its PRC subsidiaries;
and (ii) main parts of the business activities are conducted within mainland China, or main place of business are located in mainland
China, or a majority of the senior managers in charge of business operation and management are Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland
China. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we do not believe we will be subject to the filing and reporting requirement under
the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and management team do not meet either of the conditions. However, as the
Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain uncertain.
As there are still uncertainties regarding these
new laws and regulations as well as the amendment, interpretation and implementation of the existing laws and regulations related to cybersecurity
and data protection, We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these laws and regulations in all respects. The regulatory
authorities may deem our activities or services non-compliant and therefore require us to suspend or terminate its business. We may also
be subject to fines, legal or administrative sanctions and other adverse consequences, and may not be able to become in compliance with
relevant laws and regulations in a timely manner, or at all. These may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition,
results of operations and reputation.
3
Since
these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies
will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,
if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, our ability to accept
foreign investments and conduct follow-on offerings, and listing or continuing listing on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. In addition,
the PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet
industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding any other industry
including the industry in which we operate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risk Factors—
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system,
including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely
affect us
." for more details.
Risks Associated with the Holding Foreign
Companies Accountable Act.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,
or the HFCA Act, was enacted into U.S. law on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that a company
has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board of the United States (the "PCAOB") for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall
prohibit its securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. On
December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely
registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) China, and (ii) Hong Kong.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments
implementing congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCA Act. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer's securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things,
an identical provision to AHFCA Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. Whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor's, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in
mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well
as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately
to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed, without having to wait another year to reassess its determinations.
In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations
located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the determination so that
we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result
in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national
exchange and trading on "over-the-counter" markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.
Lack of access to PCAOB inspections prevents the
PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong.
As a result, investors in companies using such auditors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. On August 26,
2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and
investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select
any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022,
the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered
in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and the PCAOB board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect
or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB
will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China
and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor's, control. The PCAOB is
continuing to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections
in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed.
4
UHY LLP is not included in the list of determinations
announced by the PCAOB on December 21, 2021 in their HFCA Act Determination Report under PCAOB Rule 6100. If notwithstanding
this new framework, the PCAOB was unable to fully inspect UHY LLP (or any other auditor of the Company) in the future, or if PRC or American
authorities further regulate auditing work of Chinese or Hong Kong companies listed on the U.S. stock exchanges in a manner
that would restrict UHY LLP (or any future auditor of the Company) from performing work in Hong Kong, the Company may be required
to change its auditor. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the SEC, Nasdaq, or other regulatory authorities would not apply additional
and more stringent criteria to the Company in connection with audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and
training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of the Company's financial statements.
The failure to comply with the requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the AHFCA Act, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer's
public accounting firm within two years, would subject us to consequences including the delisting of our securities in the future
if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the Company's accounting firm (whether UHY LLP or another firm) at such future time.
The HFCA Act also imposes additional certification
and disclosure requirements for Commission Identified Issuers, and these requirements apply to issuers in the year following their listing
as Commission Identified Issuers. The additional requirements include a certification that the issuer is not owned or controlled by a
governmental entity in the Relevant Jurisdiction, and the additional requirements for annual reports include disclosure that the issuer's
financials were audited by a firm not subject to PCAOB inspection, disclosure on governmental entities in the Relevant Jurisdiction's
ownership in and controlling financial interest in the issuer, the names of Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, members on the board of the
issuer or its operating entities, and whether the issuer's article's include a charter of the CCP, including the text of such
charter. For more detailed information, see "
Our ADSs and warrants may be delisted or prohibited from being traded "over-the-counter"
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (as amended by the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act) if the
PCAOB were unable to fully inspect the company's auditor."
How Cash is Transferred through Our Organization
We
were incorporated in Cayman Islands on February 11, 2020, to be the ultimate parent company of the Group upon the consummation of a business
combination on June 16, 2020. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our substantial operations through
our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and our apps are available to download in the app stores of China and most of our
users are PRC citizens, which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. Lion Group Holding Ltd is permitted under the laws
of Cayman Islands to provide funding to our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands through loans or capital contributions without
restrictions on the amount of the funds. Lion Group Holding Ltd. can distribute earnings from its businesses, including subsidiaries,
to the U.S. investors. Our operations in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands were in loss position since the second half of 2020, and the
Company has raised capital through financing transactions and provided funding to our operations in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.
Our operating subsidiaries are permitted under
the laws of Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Singapore, British Virgin Islands, and the United States, respectively, to provide funding to Lion
Group Holding Ltd, the holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands through dividend distributions. Our Group currently intend to
retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring
or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently do not have any dividend policy, any future determination will be made
at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual
requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in
any future financing instruments.
Currently, we conduct our substantial operations
through our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands. We have established Lion Group (Hangzhou) Investment Limited, our PRC subsidiary,
holding through Lion Wealth Limited in May 2021. The PRC subsidiary was established solely for purpose of passive equity investment in
China with no substantial business activities, which does not require contractual arrangements or variable interest entity, or VIE, to
operate. Since Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected
in the Basic Law, providing Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including
that of final adjudication under the principle of "one country, two systems". We are dependent on our customers in the PRC,
the laws and regulations of the PRC currently have restrictions on currency conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment
for PRC citizens. See "
Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry —
PRC governmental control of currency conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment could have a direct impact on the trading
volume on our platform, and the PRC government could further tighten restrictions on converting Renminbi to foreign currencies and/or
deems our practices to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations
." for more information on the risk of PRC governmental control
of currency conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment with respect to our operations. However, the laws and regulations
of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on transfer of cash from the Company to our Cayman Islands and Hong Kong subsidiaries
to or from Cayman Islands and Hong Kong subsidiaries to the Company and the investors in the U.S. As a result, cash can be transferred
freely between the Company and its operating subsidiaries, across borders, and to U.S. investors.
5
Subject to the Companies Act and our Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders from time
to time out of the profits from the Company, realized or unrealized, or out of the share premium account, provided that the Company will
remain solvent, meaning the Company is able to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business. There is no further
Cayman Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us in the form of dividends.

We
did not pay any dividends to our shareholders in 2022 and
2021. We are able to distribute earnings from our operating subsidiaries, to the parent company and U.S. investors and settle amounts
owed, although we currently do not have any dividend policy. There were no dividends or distributions that a subsidiary made to the holding
company during the period. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our ADSs in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent
on receipt of funds from our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue
Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us, and under the current laws of the Cayman
Islands, we are also not subject to tax on income or capital gains and withholding tax is not imposed upon payments of dividends from
the Company to its shareholders.
There are no restrictions or limitations under
the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong,
nor are there any restriction on any foreign exchange to transfer cash between the Company and its subsidiaries, across borders and to
investors outside of PRC, nor is there any restrictions and limitations to distribute earnings from the subsidiaries, to the Company and
investors outside of PRC and amounts owed. There are no exchange controls in Cayman Islands.

on Oversea Listing and Share Issuances
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and all of the data and personal information we collected are stored in servers outside
mainland China, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may subject us to certain
laws and regulations in China. Recent cybersecurity regulations mandate clearance of cybersecurity review of internet platform operator
holding personal information of more than one million users before applying for listing at a foreign stock exchange, and relevant governmental
authorities in the PRC may initiate cybersecurity review if they determine an operator's data processing activities affect or may
affect national security. However, it remains unclear as to whether relevant requirements will be applicable to companies that have already
been listed in the United States, such as us, for our future offerings, and the laws and regulations then effective as of our previous
listing did not require any issuer to obtain pre-approval from the Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, before listing at a
foreign stock exchange. As of the date of this annual report, we do not hold personal information of more than one million users and our
business activities do not involve risk factors regarding national security as stipulated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. We have
not been informed by any government authorities that we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator, and we have not
received any inquiry or notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings initiated by the CAC. Based on the foregoing and as
advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we believe that we are not required to apply for pre-approval from CAC before the issuance
of our securities to foreign investors and we are not subject to mandatory application requirement for cybersecurity review under the
current PRC laws and regulations. However, no detailed rules or implementation rules regarding the cybersecurity review have been issued
and the PRC government authorities may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of the applicable laws. We cannot assure
you that we would not be deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator or carrying out data processing activities that affect
or may affect national security, which may subject us to order of clearance of cybersecurity review or other specific actions.
In addition, the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions
of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies requires an overseas special
purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals
to obtain the approval of the CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle's securities on an overseas
stock exchange. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations
that the CSRC's approval is not required for our listing, trading of our securities on Nasdaq, given that our PRC subsidiary was
incorporated as wholly foreign-owned enterprises by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of equity interest
or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules that are our beneficial owners.
However, our PRC counsel has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or
implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations
or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government
agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.
Furthermore, the Overseas Listing Regulations
set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration with the CSRC for PRC
domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP,
we do not believe we will be subject to the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and identity of management team
do not meet either of the conditions and our offering will not be determined as indirect overseas offering under the Overseas Listing
Trial Measures. However, as the Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain
uncertain.
The substantial operation of us is based in Singapore,
Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, and we do not operate through any VIE agreement with our subsidiaries in China. However, if it is determined
that any CSRC approval, filing, cybersecurity review or other governmental authorization is required for our previous or future offering,
we may face sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to do so, and if we are denied from PRC authorities
to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the
investors.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal
system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China could
adversely affect us.
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may
subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected
certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release
regulations or policies regarding our industry that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore,
since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform
and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. Furthermore,
the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or
at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after
the violation. Such uncertainties could adversely affect our business that relates to China or PRC citizens.
The PRC government has significant authority to
exert influence on the ability of a company with operations in China, including us, to conduct its business. Changes in China's
economic, political or social conditions or government policies could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but
not limited to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government on U.S. listed companies. We may also be subject
to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, including CSRC, if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. Any actions by
the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in companies
having operations in China, including us, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities
to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. These China-related risks could result
in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities, or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability
to offer securities to investors in the future and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
The PRC government may exert, at any time, substantial
intervention and influence over the manner our operations. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements
to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,
enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews and
new laws and regulations related to data security, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
The regulatory framework for the collection, use,
safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information and important data worldwide is rapidly evolving in PRC and
is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number
of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which became effective in
June 2017, established China's first national-level data protection for "network operators," which may include all organizations
in China that connect to or provide services over the internet or other information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated
by the Standing Committee of PRC National People's Congress, or the SCNPC, on June 10, 2021 and became effective on September 1,
2021, outlines the main system framework of data security protection.
11
In December 2021, the Cyberspace Administration
of China (the "CAC") promulgated the amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review which require cyberspace operators with personal
information of more than one million users to file for cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office ("CRO"),
in the event such operators plan for an overseas listing. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review provide that, among others, an
application for cybersecurity review must be made by an issuer that is a "critical information infrastructure operator" or
a "data processing operator" as defined therein before such issuer's securities become listed in a foreign country,
if the issuer possesses personal information of more than one million users, and that the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC
may initiate cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator's cyber products or services, data processing
or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect China's national security. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity
Review will take effect on February 15, 2022. In August 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China
promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law which became effective on November 1, 2021. The Personal Information Protection Law
provides a comprehensive set of data privacy and protection requirements that apply to the processing of personal information and expands
data protection compliance obligations to cover the processing of personal information of persons by organizations and individuals in
China, and the processing of personal information of persons outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products
and services to, or analyzing and evaluating the behavior of, persons in China. The Personal Information Protection Law also provides
that critical information infrastructure operators and personal information processing entities who process personal information meeting
a volume threshold to be set by Chinese cyberspace regulators are also required to store in China the personal information generated or
collected in China, and to pass a security assessment administered by Chinese cyberspace regulators for any export of such personal information.
Moreover, pursuant to the Personal Information Protection Law, persons who seriously violate this law may be fined for up to RMB50 million
or 5% of annual revenues generated in the prior year and may also be ordered to suspend any related activity by competent authorities.
In November 2021, the CAC released the Regulations
on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network
Data Security provide more detailed guidance on how to implement the general legal requirements under laws such as the Cybersecurity Law,
Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security follow the principle that
the state will regulate based on a data classification and multi-level protection scheme, under which data is largely classified into
three categories: general data, important data and core data. Under the current PRC cybersecurity laws in China, critical information
infrastructure operators that intend to purchase internet products and services that may affect national security must be subject to the
cybersecurity review. On July 30, 2021, the State Council of the PRC promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of
Critical Information Infrastructure, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The regulations require, among others, that certain competent
authorities shall identify critical information infrastructures. If any critical information infrastructure is identified, they shall
promptly notify the relevant operators and the Ministry of Public Security.
Currently, the cybersecurity laws and regulations
have not directly affected our business and operations, but in anticipation of the strengthened implementation of cybersecurity laws and
regulations and the expansion of our business, we face potential risks if we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator
under the Cybersecurity Law. In such case, we must fulfill certain obligations as required under the Cybersecurity Law and other applicable
laws, including, among others, storing personal information and important data collected and produced within the PRC territory during
our operations in China, which we are already doing in our business, and we may be subject to review when purchasing internet products
and services. The amended Measures of Cybersecurity Review became effective in February 2022, we may be subject to review when conducting
data processing activities, and may face challenges in addressing its requirements and make necessary changes to our internal policies
and practices in data processing. As of the date of this annual report, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity
review made by the CAC on such basis, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions in such respect. Based on the
foregoing, we do not expect that, as of the date of this annual report, the current applicable PRC laws on cybersecurity would have a
material adverse impact on our business.
On September 1, 2021, the PRC Data Security Law
became effective, which imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals conducting data-related activities,
and introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development,
as well as the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals
or organizations when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, or illegally acquired or used. As of the date of this annual report,
we have not been involved in any investigations on data security compliance made in connection with the PRC Data Security Law, and we
have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions in such respect. Based on the foregoing, we do not expect that, as of the
date of this annual report, the PRC Data Security Law would have a material adverse impact on our business.
12
On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC governmental
authorities publicized the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions
require the relevant regulators to coordinate and accelerate amendments of legislation on the confidentiality and archive management related
to overseas issuance and listing of securities, and to improve the legislation on data security, cross-border data flow and management
of confidential information. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and
the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction
of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. As these opinions
were recently issued, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued yet and the interpretation of these opinions
remains unclear at this stage. As of the date of this annual report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions from
the CSRC or any other PRC government authorities. Based on the foregoing and the currently effective PRC laws, we are of the view that,
as of the date of this annual report, these opinions do not have a material adverse impact on our business.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures
of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, which have come into effect
on March 31, 2023. As a supplement to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, on February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with other authorities,
jointly revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing,
collectively with the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, the Overseas Listing Regulations, which have come into effect on March 31, 2023.
The Overseas Listing Regulations set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality and achieves administration
with the CSRC for PRC domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets. An overseas listing will
constitute an "indirect listing" where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50% or more of the issuer's
operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by its PRC subsidiaries;
and (ii) main parts of the business activities are conducted within mainland China, or main place of business are located in mainland
China, or a majority of the senior managers in charge of business operation and management are Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland
China. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we do not believe we will be subject to the filing and reporting requirement under
the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and management team do not meet either of the conditions. However, as the
Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain uncertain.
As there are still uncertainties regarding these
new laws and regulations as well as the amendment, interpretation and implementation of the existing laws and regulations related to cybersecurity
and data protection, We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these laws and regulations in all respects. The regulatory
authorities may deem our activities or services non-compliant and therefore require us to suspend or terminate its business. We may also
be subject to fines, legal or administrative sanctions and other adverse consequences, and may not be able to become in compliance with
relevant laws and regulations in a timely manner, or at all. These may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition,
results of operations and reputation.
Since these statements and regulatory actions
are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new
laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact
such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, our ability to accept foreign investments and conduct
follow-on offerings, and listing or continuing listing on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. In addition, the PRC government has recently
published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule
out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding any other industry including the industry in
which we operate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D.
Risk Factors—Risk Factors— Risks Related to Doing Business in Jurisdictions We Operate" for more details.
13
We may be liable for improper collection,
use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.
We collect certain personal data from our customers
in connection with our business and operations and we are subject to various regulatory requirements relating to the security and privacy
of data in various jurisdictions. Regulatory requirements regarding the protection of data are constantly evolving and can be subject
to different interpretations or significant change, making the extent of our responsibilities in that regard uncertain.
PRC regulators, including the Standing Committee
of the PRC National People's Congress (SCNPC) the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission (CAC), the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology (MIIT), and the Ministry of Public Security have been increasingly focused on regulation in the areas of data security and
data protection and have enforced laws and regulations with varying and evolving standards and interpretations. For instance, the Civil
Code of the PRC provides main legal basis for privacy and personal information infringement claims under the Chinese civil laws. On November
7, 2016, the SCNPC issued the PRC Cybersecurity Law, pursuant to which, network operators must not, without users' consent, collect
their personal information, and may only collect users' personal information necessary to provide their services. On June 10, 2021,
the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which became effective on September 1, 2021. The PRC Data Security Law imposes data security
and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data activities and it specifies that data activities carried out outside
China shall also be liable if it involves and damages the interests of PRC citizens. In order to implement the PRC National Security Law,
the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the PRC Data Security Law, the CAC, and related authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures
in December 2021, which took effect in February, 2022, which requires, among others that critical information infrastructure operators
that procure internet products and services and network platform operators that carry out data processing activities that affect or may
affect national security should be subject to the cybersecurity review, and that network platform operators that possess personal information
of more than one million users shall apply for cybersecurity review before seeking to list in a foreign stock exchange. On August 20,
2021, the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Personal Information Protection Law, or the PIPL, which took effect in November 2021. The PIPL
imposes specific rules for processing personal information and it also specifies that the law shall also apply to personal information
activities carried out outside China but for purpose of providing products or services to PRC citizens. On November 14, 2021, the CAC
released the Administration Regulations on the Cyber Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations. The Draft
Cyber Data Regulations provide that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that, during their data processing activities
such as data collection, storage, utilization, transmission, publication and deletion, have autonomy over the purpose and the manner of
data processing. In accordance with the Draft Cyber Data Regulations, data processors shall apply for a cybersecurity review for certain
activities, including, among other things, (i) the listing abroad of data processors that process the personal information of more than
one million users and (ii) any data processing activity that affects or may affect national security. However, there have been no clarifications
from the relevant authorities as of the date of this annual report as to the standards for determining whether an activity is one that
"affects or may affect national security." In addition, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations requires that data processors that
process "important data" or are listed overseas must conduct an annual data security assessment by itself or commission a
data security service provider to do so, and submit the assessment report of the preceding year to the municipal cybersecurity department
by the end of January each year. In addition, the Administrative Provisions on Internet Information Service Algorithm Recommendation,
or Algorithm Recommendation Provisions, that took effect on March 1, 2022 implements classification and hierarchical management for algorithm
recommendation service providers based on various criteria, and stipulates that algorithm recommendation service providers with public
opinion attributes or social mobilization capabilities shall submit the relevant information within ten business days from the date of
providing such services and go through the record-filing formalities. The CAC issued the Measures for the Security Assessment of Data
Cross-border Transfer, or the Security Assessment of Data Transfer, on July 7, 2022, which requires that any data processor who provides
important data collected and generated during operations within the territory of the PRC or personal information that should be subject
to security assessment to a recipient outside of the territory of the PRC shall receive an security assessment. As these opinions and
the draft measurers were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of these two remain unclear in several respects at this
time.
Our substantial operations are carried out in
Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and all of the data and personal information we collected are stored in servers outside mainland
China. We do not hold personal information of more than one million users and we believe that we are not subject to PRC cybersecurity
review. In addition, as of the date of this annual report, we have not received any notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings
initiated by the CAC or any other PRC regulatory authority. However, since our apps are available to download in the app stores of China
and most of our users are PRC citizens, we are subject to and may be ordered to comply with those regulations. In addition, we may be
subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny from PRC governmental authorities in the future. As there remains significant uncertainty in
the interpretation and enforcement of the laws and regulations in relation to data security and cross-border transfer of personal information,
we cannot assure you that we will comply with such regulations in all respects. Any non-compliance with these laws and regulations may
subject us to fines, orders to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities, other penalties, including
but not limited to removal of our apps in China market, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings against us, which may affect
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We operate in a heavily regulated industry,
and are subject to extensive and evolving regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We operate in a highly-regulated industry and
must comply with the applicable regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions it operates. Our major regulators include Cayman Islands
Monetary Authority (CIMA), Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (HKSFC), the Hong Kong Insurance Authority (HKIA),
Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (HKCED), and Monetary Authority of Singapore. These regulators and self-regulatory organizations
govern our business operations in a variety of ways and conduct regular examinations of our business to monitor our compliance with applicable
regulations. Among other things, we are subject to regulations with regard to (i) our sales practices, including our interaction
with and solicitation of clients and our marketing activities; (ii) the custody, control and safeguarding of our clients' assets;
(iii) maintaining specified minimum amounts of capital and limiting withdrawals of funds from our regulated operating subsidiaries;
(iv) submitting regular financial and other reports to regulators; (v) licensing for our operating subsidiaries and our employees;
and (vi) the conduct of our directors, officers, employees and affiliates. In addition, as the online brokerage service industry
in Hong Kong is at a relatively early stage of development, interpretation and enforcement of the applicable regulatory regime are
subject to significant uncertainties, which may result in difficulties in determining whether our existing practices violate any applicable
laws and regulations.
14
Compliance with these regulations is complicated,
time consuming and expensive. Our ability to comply with all applicable laws and regulations is largely dependent on our internal compliance
system, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified compliance personnel. While we maintain systems and procedures designed
to ensure that we comply with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we are able to prevent all possible violations.
Non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in sanctions being levied against us, including the imposition of fines
or penalties, censures, restrictions on certain business activities, suspension or expulsion from a jurisdiction or market or the revocation
or limitation of licenses, which could adversely affect our reputation, prospects, revenues and earnings. Furthermore, any future change
in the regulatory, legal and industry environment for the futures brokerage services, securities brokerage services, CFD trading services,
insurance brokerage services, or asset management services may have a significant impact on our business.
In addition, we are subject to regular investigations,
inquiries and inspections from the relevant regulatory bodies. For example, from time to time, our HKSFC-licensed subsidiaries may be
subject to or required to assist in inquiries or investigations by regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, principally the HKSFC. The
HKSFC conducts on-site reviews and off-site monitoring to ascertain and supervise our business conduct and compliance with relevant regulatory
requirements and to assess and monitor, among other things, our financial soundness. Similarly, our Cayman subsidiary may be subject to
CIMA's on-site inspections and inquiries from time to time. If any misconduct is identified as a result of inquiries, reviews, investigation
or inspections, the relevant regulatory authorities may take disciplinary actions against us. There also remains a risk that we may not
be able to rectify our practices to be in compliance with the relevant rules and regulations following the identification of any such
misconduct or material non-compliance, which may result in regulators taking additional actions against it. We were inspected by both
the HKSFC and CIMA during 2019, and both regulators identified certain areas in which our operations can improve. We have finished implementing
the measures recommended by the HKSFC and received letters from the HKSFC confirming that they had no further comments relating to their
inspections of Lion Asset Management Limited on November 21, 2019, and of both Lion International Securities Group Limited and Lion Futures
Limited on May 20, 2020. These are the only subsidiaries subject to HKSFC oversight and inspection. We have also finished implementing
the measures recommended by CIMA during 2019 and CIMA had no further comments relating to their 2019 inspection. We were inspected by
CIMA separately on February 4, 2021 as a regular exercise following which CIMA had identified certain areas in which our operators can
improve, with the changes to be made no later than October 4, 2021. Subsequently, CIMA issued a breach notice for failure of enhancing
customer due diligence measures. CIMA issued an administrative fine of US$314,000 as penalty and we paid the administrative fine on February
17, 2022. We have implemented the improvements recommended by CIMA.  However, if we are unable to make these changes we may be subject
to fines or other disciplinary actions. If any such outcome occurs, there may be a material and adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial condition and prospects.
We had incurred net losses in the past,
and we may incur losses again in the future.
We had net losses of US$2.6 million (as restated),
net losses of US$0.83 million, and net losses of $34 million in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to generate net income in the future. We anticipate that our operating cost and expenses will increase in the foreseeable future
as we continue to grow our business, attract new clients, enhance our risk management capabilities and increase our brand recognition.
These efforts may prove more costly than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset
these higher expenses. There are other external and internal factors that could negatively affect our financial condition. For example,
the trading volume achieved on our platform may be lower than expected, which may lead to lower than expected revenues. Furthermore, we
may adopt a new share incentive plans in the future, which will result in significant share-based compensation expenses to us. We generated
76.0%, 32.2%, and (187.4)% of our total revenues from commissions charged to our clients who trade on our platform in 2020, 2021, and
2022, respectively. Any material decrease in our commissions would have a substantial impact on our financial conditions. As a result
of the foregoing and other factors, we may continue to incur net losses in the future.
We may not be able
to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses, permits and approvals and to make all necessary registrations and filings for our business
activities in multiple jurisdictions and related to residents therein, especially in the PRC or otherwise relating to PRC residents.
We operate in a heavily-regulated industry
which requires various licenses, permits and approvals in different jurisdictions to conduct our businesses. Our clients include people
who live in jurisdictions where we do not have licenses issued by the local regulatory bodies. It is possible that authorities in those
jurisdictions may take the position that we are required to obtain licenses or otherwise comply with local laws and regulations in order
to conduct our business with residents living in those jurisdictions. In any jurisdictions, if we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements,
we may risk being disqualified for our existing businesses or being rejected for renewal of our qualifications and/or licenses upon expiry
by the regulatory authorities as well as other penalties, fines or sanctions. In addition, in respect of any new business that we may
contemplate, we may not be able to obtain the relevant approvals for developing such new business if we fail to comply with the relevant
regulations and regulatory requirements. As a result, we may fail to develop new business as planned, or we may fall behind our competitors
in such businesses.
We do not hold any licenses or permits from any PRC regulatory bodies
for our securities brokerage business. Currently, a large number of our clients are PRC residents and certain of the executive directors
and other independent contractors are providing supporting services remotely from the PRC. There remains uncertainties as to how
the current and any future PRC laws and regulations will be interpreted or implemented in the context of operating securities-related business
in China and providing cross-border securities-related brokerage services to PRC residents. We cannot assure you that our current
operating model will not be deemed as operating securities brokerage business in China or providing cross-border securities-related brokerage
services to PRC residents, subjecting us to further inquiries or rectifications. If certain of our activities in China were deemed by
PRC regulators to be providing securities brokerage services, investment consulting services or stock options brokerage business in China
or to PRC residents, we would be required to obtain the required licenses or permits from the relevant regulatory bodies, including the
CSRC. The failure to obtain such licenses or permits may subject us to regulatory actions and penalties, including fines, suspension
of parts or all of our operations in the PRC, and temporary suspension or removal of our websites and mobile application in China. In
such cases, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
15
PRC governmental control of currency conversion,
cross-border remittance and offshore investment could have a direct impact on the trading volume on our platform, and the PRC government
could further tighten restrictions on converting Renminbi to foreign currencies and/or deems our practices to be in violation of PRC laws
and regulations.
A majority of our clients are PRC residents and
are therefore subject to the restrictions under the rules and regulations promulgated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange
(SAFE), regarding the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance and the use of such funds outside China. Under
current PRC foreign exchange regulations, each PRC citizen is permitted to convert up to an aggregate of US$50,000 equivalent Renminbi
each year for appropriate personal use. Such appropriate use does not include direct investment into secondary stock markets, futures,
insurances, asset management products or other CFD trading. PRC residents who intend to convert U.S. dollars exceeding such quota are
required to go through additional application and review procedures with commercial banks designated by the SAFE. In addition, approval
from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required when Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency for the
purpose of offshore investment. Although we require our clients to comply with the relevant rules and regulations in the agreements we
enter into with them, we cannot assure you that our clients will follow the rules and regulations or the provisions in the agreements
at all times. We do not handle the Renminbi cross-border currency conversion for our Chinese clients through any of our accounts or entities,
and we do not require our clients to submit evidence of approval or registration with respect to the foreign currency used for offshore
investments. We cannot assure you that our current operating model, which includes redirecting our clients to open accounts with third
party service provider, will be not deemed as assisting with the currency conversion by SAFE. In such cases, we may face regulatory warnings,
correction orders, condemnation and fines, and may not be able to conduct our current business in the future. In addition, any misbehavior
or violation by our clients of applicable laws and regulations could lead to regulatory inquiries, investigations or penalties that involve
us.
Since the PRC authorities and the commercial banks
designated by the SAFE to conduct foreign exchange services have significant discretion in interpreting, implementing and enforcing the
foreign exchange rules and regulations, and due to many other factors that are beyond our control and ability to anticipate, we may face
more severe consequences, including being asked to take additional and burdensome measures to monitor the source and use of the foreign
currency funds in the accounts of our clients, remove our account opening functions, or suspend our operations pending an investigation
or indefinitely. In such cases, we may face regulatory warnings, correction orders, condemnation, fines and confiscation of income, and
may not be able to conduct our current business in the future. We may also be subject to regular inspections from relevant authorities
from time to time. If such situations occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially
and adversely affected.
In addition, if the PRC government further tightens
the amount of currency exchange allowed for PRC residents, increases control over the remittance of currency out of the PRC, restricts
the assistance or participation of any non-resident entities in the currency conversion, or specifically prohibits any exchanges for securities-related
investment purposes, the trading activities of Chinese residents on our platform could be restricted, which would significantly reduce
the trading volume on our platform. As our revenues from brokerage commission and market making income depends heavily on the total trading
volume facilitated on our platform, the occurrence of any of the above regulatory changes would have a material and adverse impact on
our business, operating and financial results.
Furthermore, we have established Lion Group (Hangzhou)
Investment Limited, our PRC subsidiary, holding through Lion Wealth Limited in May 2021. Our PRC subsidiary was established solely for
purpose of passive equity investment in China with no substantial business activities and our PRC subsidiary has not made any dividends
or other distributions since its incorporation. However, the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into
foreign currencies and the remittance of currency out of mainland China which may restrict our PRC subsidiary's ability to transfer
cash from our PRC subsidiary to our other non-mainland China entities. To the extent cash is generated in our PRC subsidiary, and may
need to be used to fund operations outside of mainland China, such funds may not be available due to limitations placed by the PRC government.
In addition, any foreign loan procured by our PRC subsidiary is required to be registered with SAFE or its local branches and any of our
PRC subsidiary may not procure loans which exceed the difference between its total investment amount and registered capital or, as an
alternative, they may only procure loans subject to the calculation approach and limitation as provided by the People's Bank of
China.
16
We may be unable to retain existing clients
or attract new clients, or we may fail to offer services to address the needs of our clients as they evolve.
We
derive a significant portion of our revenues from our commissions based upon the trading volume or the number of relevant
transaction contracts executed by our clients. The rapidly growing trading volume on our platform is primarily driven by the
increasing number of our active clients. Our total revenue-generating clients grew from 1,722 as of December 31, 2017 to 4,526 as of
December 31, 2022. To further grow our business and expand our operation, we rely on continuous efforts in retaining existing
clients and attracting new ones.
Our ability to retain existing clients is dependent
upon multiple factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our clients may not continue to place trading orders or increase the level
of their trading activities on our platform if we cannot match the prices offered by other market players or if we fail to deliver satisfactory
services. Failure to deliver services in a timely manner at competitive prices and provide a satisfactory experience will cause our clients
to lose confidence in us and use our platform less frequently or even stop using our platform altogether. Even if we are able to provide
high-quality and satisfactory services on our platform in a timely manner and at favorable pricing terms, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to retain existing clients, encourage repeat and increase trading transactions, in part due to reasons beyond our control,
such as the personal financial situation of our clients or the deterioration of capital markets generally. We have taken efforts in attracting
new clients and expanding our brand influence, and we plan to continue doing so. However, these efforts may not be cost-effective and
we cannot assure you that we will be able to grow our client base as we expect, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our
business operations and prospects.
Our level of commission and fee rates may
decline in the future. Any material reduction in our commission or fee rates could reduce our profitability.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues
from commissions. We charge our clients commission for our insurance brokerage services, securities and future brokerage services and
CFD and TRS trading services. Revenues generated from commission amounted to US$7.8 million, US$8.05 million, and US$4.6 million in 2020,
2021, and 2022, respectively. We may experience pressure on our commission or fee rates as a result of competition in the financial service
industry and online brokerage industry. Some of our competitors offer a broader range of services to a larger client base and enjoy higher
trading volumes than we do. Consequently, our competitors may be able to offer trading services at lower commissions or fee rates than
we currently offer or may be able to offer. For example, some banks in Hong Kong and the United States have started offering
zero commission fees or similar promotions to attract clients. As a result of this pricing competition, we could lose both market share
and revenues. We believe that any downward pressure on commission or fee rates would likely continue and intensify as we continue to develop
our business and gain recognition in our markets. A decline in our commission or fee rates could lower our revenues, which would adversely
affect our profitability. In addition, our competitors may offer other financial incentives we may not be able to offer, such as rebates
or discounts in order to induce trading in their systems, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our operating and financial
results.
We cannot guarantee the profitability of
our clients' investments or ensure that our clients will make rational investment judgements.
We cannot guarantee the profitability of the investment
made by clients on our trading platform. The profitability of our clients' investments is directly affected by elements beyond our
control, such as economic and political conditions, broad trends in business and finance, changes in volume of securities and futures
transactions, changes in the markets in which such transactions occur and changes in how such transactions are processed.
Moreover, many of our clients are retail investors,
who are less sophisticated compared with institutional investors. In addition, CFD products and futures are complex investment products
that require a higher level of knowledge and experience that some retail investors may not have. Although we include prominent risk warnings
and disclaimers on our apps throughout the transaction process and, in accordance with relevant regulations, have designed an appropriateness
test to assess the level of experience and risk level of the client to assess whether certain services or products are appropriate for
such client, there is no guarantee that the appropriateness test for any product is adequate.
17
Clients who have suffered from unfavorable trading
results, financial losses, or even liquidity issues in connection with the financial losses may attribute their losses to us and/or may
discontinue trading with us, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operation. Some clients who have
suffered substantial losses on our platform may seek to recover their damages from us or bring lawsuits against us. These allegations
against us, regardless of their veracity, may negatively affect our reputation and clients' confidence with us. If we were to become
the subject of any unfavorable allegations or lawsuits, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue and regardless of the
outcome of the lawsuits, we may have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate and/or defend itself, which could divert
our management's attention from the day-to-day operations. In addition, if any litigation or other legal proceeding to which we
are a party is resolved adversely, we may be ordered to pay substantial amount of damages or compensation to the other party, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur material trading losses from
our market making activities.
A portion of our revenue is derived from our market
making activities. When an offsetting transaction of CFD trading from another client is not available, we may choose to act as a principal
(i.e. market maker) to trade with the client. As a market maker, we attempt to derive a profit from the difference between the prices
at which we buy and sell CFD products. Since these activities involve the purchase or sale of CFD products for our own account, we may
incur trading losses for a variety of reasons, including price changes in CFD products and lack of liquidity in CFD products in which
we have positions. As we offer leveraged trading of up to 100:1 to certain of our forex trading clients, our risk exposure is greatly
amplified. If our risk management system fails to identify or prevent high risk trades and the market develops in a way adverse to our
position, we may incur significant losses in these trades. We may also incur losses due to inaccuracies in our proprietary pricing mechanism,
or rate engine, which evaluates, monitors and assimilates market data and reevaluates our outstanding CFD product quotes, and is designed
to publish prices reflective of prevailing market conditions throughout the trading days. Risks of incurring trading losses may affect
the prices at which we are able to sell or buy CFD products, or may limit or restrict our ability to either resell CFD products that we
have purchased or repurchase CFD products that we have sold.
We are dependent on wholesale forex trading
partners to continually provide us with forex market liquidity. If we lost access to the prices and levels of liquidity that we currently
have, we may be unable to provide competitive forex trading services, which would materially adversely affect our CFD trading business,
financial conditions and results of operations.
Clients frequently trade currency pairs on our
platform. In order to continually provide our market making services and to limit our own capital exposure, we maintain cooperative relationships
with established market makers and leading international wholesale forex trading partners, which gives us access to a pool of potential
liquidity. Through these relationships, we are able to execute our clients' desired trades at competitive rates while hedging our
net positions and limiting our exposure. The trading partners, although under contract with us, have no obligation to provide us with
liquidity and may terminate our arrangements at any time. In the event that we no longer have access to the competitive wholesale forex
pricing spreads and/or levels of liquidity that we currently have, we may be unable to provide competitive forex trading services, which
will materially affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Failure to comply with regulatory capital
requirements set by local regulatory authorities could materially and negatively affect our business operation and overall performance.
Our regulated operating subsidiaries are subject
to various regulatory capital requirements, including minimum capital requirements, capital ratios and buffers established by competent
authorities in their respective jurisdiction. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our business and financial
position. For example, our Cayman Islands' operating subsidiary, Lion Brokers Limited, licensed under the Securities Investment
Business Act of the Cayman Islands (2020 Revision) (as amended, "SIBA"), is subject to the regulation of CIMA to maintain
minimum regulatory capital. Similarly, our HKSFC-licensed operating subsidiaries, Lion International Securities Group Limited, Lion Futures
Limited and Lion Capital Management Limited, are required under the Securities and Future Ordinance (Cap.571) ("SFO") to maintain
certain level of liquid capital. Lion International Financial (Singapore) Pte. LTD. ("LIFSL"), our Singapore subsidiary licensed
by the MAS, is subject to the requirements of Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289) ("SFA").
As of December 31, 2022, all of our operating
subsidiaries have not been subject to any administrative penalty or fine in relation to regulatory capital requirements that, individually
or in the aggregate, would be reasonable expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
However, if any of our operating subsidiaries fail to remain well-capitalized for regulatory purposes, CIMA, HKSFC and MAS may take actions
against them and their business operation, and we may face penalties, including limitations and prohibitions on our business activities
or suspension or revocation of our licenses and trading rights. This could affect client confidence, our ability to grow, our costs of
funds and professional insurance costs, our ability to pay dividends on ordinary shares, our ability to make acquisitions, and in turn,
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
18
Our total return swap (TRS) trading services
may not be successful, and we may not find adequate funding at reasonable costs to successfully operate our TRS trading business.
We began offering our TRS trading services in
early 2020 and officially launched it in July 2020, which may not develop as expected if clients fail to perform their contractual
obligations or the value of collateral held to secure the obligations is inadequate. The total rate of return of a portfolio of the underlying
assets on which a swap is based may exhibit substantial volatility and may be positive or negative in any given period. In the event that
the total rate of return is negative and we are receiving the total rate of return of that portfolio of underlying assets in our part
of a swap agreement, we would be required to make a payment to the counterparty in addition to that required on the other, generally floating
rate, part of the swap agreement. Also, unusual market conditions affecting the portfolio on which the swap is based may prevent the total
rate of return from being calculated, in which case other provisions in the swap agreement may be invoked which could cause us to lose
some of the anticipated benefit from the swap or otherwise reduce our return.
Moreover, the growth and success of our TRS trading
business depends on the availability of adequate funding to meet clients' demand for loans on our platform. We derive the funding
for our TRS trading business from a variety of sources, including commercial banks, other licensed financial institutions and other parties
as well as financing generated from our business operations. To the extent there is insufficient funding from institutional funding partners
who are willing to accept the credit risk related to the collateral from our clients, the funds available might be limited and our ability
to provide TRS trading services to our clients to address their demand would be adversely impacted. In addition, as we strive to offer
our clients services with competitive prices, we may attempt to further reduce our interest expenses from our funding partners. If we
cannot continue to maintain our relationship with these funding partners and obtain adequate funding at reasonable costs, we may not be
able to continue to offer or grow our TRS trading business.
We face risks related to insurance brokerage
business.
We
operate our insurance brokerage business through our HKIA-licensed subsidiary, BC Wealth Management Limited. Our revenues from insurance
brokerage business amounted to US$1.0 million, US$0.5 million, US$0.5 million, in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively, representing 9.3%,
2.2%, and (18.3)%
of our total revenues during the same periods.
There are various risks related to our insurance brokerage business. For instance, we may fail to introduce diversified insurance products
and services to effectively address our clients' needs. In addition, because the commission revenue we earn on the sale of insurance
products is based on premium and commission rates set by insurance companies, any decrease in these premiums or commission rates, or increases
in the referral fees we pay to our external referral sources, may have an adverse effect on our results of operation. Furthermore, we
rely on various business partners to operate our insurance brokerage business. If we fail to maintain stable relationships with insurance
companies and referral service providers, our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects could be materially
and adversely affected. In addition, our insurance brokerage business is vulnerable to risks that are beyond our control. For example,
we experienced significant decrease in revenues generated from insurance brokerage business in 2020, 2021 and 2022 compared to 2018 and
2019, primarily due to our strategic shift of business focus and the unrest in Hong Kong following the forfeited extradition bill
in 2019, which negatively affected our clients' confidence and interest in Hong Kong market. Moreover, our insurance brokerage
business was further negatively affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, as potential customers were not able to travel to Hong Kong
to purchase insurance products because of the travel ban.
See "
Our
business is sensitive to general economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control, and our results of operation
are prone to significant and unpredictable fluctuations.
"
Our risk management policies and procedures
may not be adequate and effective, which may expose us to unidentified or unexpected risks.
Our business activities expose us to various risks,
including regulatory environment risk, market condition risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, capital adequacy risk and operational risk.
We have put in place procedures and controls to identify, measure and manage each of these risks. See "
Business Overview —
Risk Management
." We are dependent on our risk management policies and procedures and adherence to such policies and procedures
by our staff to manage the risks inherent in our business. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks
may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risks. Some of our methods
for managing risks are discretionary by nature and are based on internally developed controls and observed historical market behavior,
and also involve reliance on standard industry practices. Many of our risk management policies are based upon observed historical market
behavior or statistics based on historical models. During periods of market volatility or due to unforeseen events, the historically derived
correlations upon which these methods are based may not be valid. As a result, these methods may not predict future exposures accurately,
which could be significantly greater than what our models indicate. This could cause us to incur losses or cause our risk management strategies
to be ineffective.
In addition, we may fail to update our risk management
system as needed or as fast as the industry evolves, which may weaken our ability to identify, monitor and control new risks. Other risk
management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients, catastrophe occurrence or other matters that
are publicly available or otherwise accessible to us, which may not always be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated. These
may adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.
19
Fluctuations in exchange rates could have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The functional currency for Lion Brokers Limited,
our Cayman Islands subsidiary, is U.S. dollars, whereas the functional currencies for our other operating subsidiaries are Hong Kong
dollars. However, the financial statements we provided to you and filed with the SEC are presented in U.S. dollars. Our assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year-end rates of exchange, whereas the income statement accounts are translated at
average rates of exchange for the year. Any such translation may result in gains or losses, which are recorded under other comprehensive
income (loss) in the financial statements. Changes in the exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollars or other currencies to the
U.S. dollars could have a material effect on our results of operations. The value of Hong Kong dollars against U.S. dollars and other
currencies is affected by a variety of factors which are beyond our control, including, among other things, changes in Hong Kong's
or China's political and economic conditions.
Our reputation, or the reputation of our
industry as a whole, may be harmed.
The reputation of our brand is critical to our
business and competitiveness. If we fail, or are perceived to have failed, to deal with issues that may give rise to reputational risk,
our business and prospects may be harmed. Such issues may include mishandling client complaints, potential conflicts of interest, privacy
breaches, client data leak, improper sales practices, as well as failures to identify legal, credit, liquidity, and market risks inherent
in our business. Failure to appropriately address these issues could reduce clients' confidence in us or increase client attrition
rate, which may adversely affect our reputation and business. In addition, any malicious or negative allegation made by the media or other
parties about the foregoing or other aspects of us, including our management, business, compliance with law, financial condition or prospects,
whether with merit or not, could severely compromise our reputation and harm our business and operating results.
Negative publicity about the CFD trading industry,
the online brokerage industry, the insurance brokerage industry or asset management in general may also have a negative impact on our
reputation, regardless of whether we have engaged in any inappropriate activities. Moreover, negative publicity about our partners, service
providers or other counterparties, such as negative publicity about their client complaints and any failure by them to adequately protect
the information of our investors and borrowers, to comply with applicable laws and regulations or to otherwise meet required quality and
service standards could harm our reputation. If any of the foregoing takes place, our business and results of operations could be materially
and adversely affected
.
We depend on the services of prime brokers
and clearing agents to assist in providing us with access to liquidity in CFD trading. The loss of one or more of our prime brokerage
relationships could lead to increased transaction costs and capital posting requirements, as well as having a negative impact on our ability
to verify our open positions, collateral balances and trade confirmations.
We depend on the services of prime brokers to
assist in providing us with access to liquidity through our CFD trading partners. We currently have established two prime brokerage relationships
with major financial institutions, which act as central hubs through which we are able to deal with our existing CFD trading partners.
In return for paying a transaction-based prime brokerage fee, we are able to aggregate our clients and our trading positions, thereby
reducing our transaction costs and increasing the efficiency of the capital we are required to post as collateral in order to conduct
our market making trading activities. Since we trade with our CFD trading partners through our prime brokers, they also serve as a third
party check on our open positions, collateral balances and trade confirmations. If we were to lose one or more of our prime brokerage
relationships, we could lose this source of third party verification of our trading activity, which could lead to an increased number
of documentation errors. Although we have relationships with CFD trading partners who could provide clearing services as a back-up for
our prime brokerage services, if we were to experience a disruption in prime brokerage services due to a financial, technical or other
development adversely affecting any of our current prime brokers, our business could be materially adversely affected to the extent that
we are unable to transfer positions and margin balances to another financial institution in a timely fashion. In the event of the insolvency
of a prime broker, we might not be able to fully recover the assets we have deposited (and have deposited on behalf of our clients) with
the prime broker or our unrealized profits since we will be among the prime broker's unsecured creditors.
20
We rely on a number of external service
providers for technology, processing and supporting functions, and if they fail to provide these services, it could adversely affect our
business and harm our reputation.
We collaborate with a number of external service
providers in providing services to our clients for technology, processing and supporting functions, including, other market makers to
which we pass on certain orders, referring brokers we collaborate with for client acquisition, custody banks, securities exchanges, clearing
agents and online payment service providers. Furthermore, external content providers provide us with financial information, market news,
charts, option and stock quotes and other fundamental data that we offer to our clients.
These service providers face technical, operational
and security risks of their own. Any significant failures by them, including improper use or disclosure of their confidential client,
employee or company information, deterioration in their performance, interruption in these third party services or software, or other
improper operation could interfere with our trading activities, cause losses due to erroneous or delayed responses, harm our reputation
or otherwise be disruptive to our business. For instance, when there is a sudden surge in trading volume caused by a large amount of concurrent
orders, usually subsequent to a major social event, we may not be able to retrieve the real-time quote due to delays or interruptions
of third party systems, which may cause a delay in the exercise of automatic settlements initiated by our risk management system. Such
delays may result in negative balance in our clients' account and a potential loss to it. Also, we have contracted with external
payment service providers to facilitate our clients' payment procedures for trading and transactions through our platform. Any failure
by these service providers to continue with good business operations, comply with applicable laws and regulations or any negative publicity
on these parties could damage our reputation, expose us to significant penalties and decrease our total revenues and profitability.
Furthermore, if our arrangements with any of these
external service providers are terminated, we may not be able to find an alternative source to support us on a timely basis or on commercially
reasonable terms. This could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A failure in our information technology,
or IT, systems could cause interruptions in our services, undermine the responsiveness of our services, disrupt our business, damage our
reputation and cause losses.
Our IT systems support all phases of our operations.
If our systems fail to perform, we could experience disruptions in operations, slower response time or decreased client satisfaction.
We must process, record and monitor a large number of transactions and our operations are highly dependent on the integrity of our technology
systems and our ability to make timely enhancements and additions to our systems. System interruptions, errors or downtime can result
from a variety of causes, including unexpected interruptions to the internet infrastructure, technological failures, changes to our systems,
changes in client usage patterns, linkages with third-party systems and power failures. Our systems are also vulnerable to disruptions
from human error, execution errors, errors in models such as those used for risk management and compliance, employee misconduct, unauthorized
trading, external fraud, computer viruses, distributed denial of service attacks, computer viruses or cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks,
natural disaster, power outage, capacity constraints, software flaws, events impacting our key business partners and vendors, and other
similar events.
It could take an extended period of time to restore
full functionality to our IT systems or other operating systems in the event of an unforeseen occurrence, which could affect our ability
to process and settle client transactions. Moreover, instances of fraud or other misconduct might also negatively impact our reputation
and client confidence in us, in addition to any direct losses that might result from such instances. Despite our efforts to identify areas
of risk, oversee operational areas involving risks, and implement policies and procedures designed to manage these risks, there can be
no assurance that we will not suffer unexpected losses, reputational damage or regulatory actions due to technology or other operational
failures or errors, including those of our vendors or other third parties.
While we devote substantial attention and resources
to the reliability, capacity and scalability of our systems, extraordinary trading volume could cause our computer systems to operate
at unacceptably slow speeds or even fail, affecting our ability to process client transactions and potentially resulting in some clients'
orders being executed at prices they did not anticipate. Disruptions in service and slower system response time could result in substantial
losses and decreased client satisfaction. We are also dependent on the integrity and performance of securities exchanges, clearinghouses
and other intermediaries to which client orders are routed for execution and clearing. System failures and constraints and transaction
errors at such intermediaries could result in delays and erroneous or unanticipated execution prices, cause substantial losses for our
clients and for ourselves, and subject us to claims from our clients for damages.
We currently maintain a disaster recovery and
business continuity plan, which is intended to minimize service interruptions and secure data integrity, however, our plan may not work
effectively during an emergency. IT system failures may lead to interruption of our operations, which in turn will prevent our clients
from trading and hence significantly reduce client satisfaction and confidence in us, cause loss or reduce potential gain for our clients,
or cause regulatory authorities' investigation and penalization. Any such system failure could impair our reputation, damage our
brand, subject us to claims and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects.
21
Failure of third-party systems upon which
we rely could adversely affect our business operation.
Due to the rapid pace of technological changes
in online brokerage and CFD trading industry, parts of our business rely on technologies developed or licensed by third parties, for example,
we conduct our CFD trading business through a trading platform licensed from third parties. Any interruption in the third parties'
services, or deterioration in the third parties' performance or quality could adversely affect our business operation. Moreover,
we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties on reasonable terms, or at all,
which could materially impact our business and results of operations.
We may be subject to cyber-attacks, computer
viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions on us our external service providers.
Our platform collects, stores and processes certain
personal and other sensitive data from our users. The massive data that we have processed and stored makes us or external service providers
who host our servers a target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar
disruptions. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, our security measures could be
breached. Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized
until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our platform could cause confidential information to be stolen
and used for criminal purposes. As personally identifiable and other confidential information is increasingly subject to legislation and
regulation in numerous jurisdictions, any inability to protect confidential information of our clients could result in additional cost
and liability for us, damage our reputation, inhibit the use of our platform and harm our business.
We also face indirect technology, cybersecurity
and operational risks relating to the third parties whom we work with to facilitate or enable our business activities. As a result of
increasing consolidation and interdependence of technology systems, a technology failure, cyber-attack or other information or security
breach that significantly compromises the systems of one entity could have a material impact on our counterparties. Any cyber-attack,
computer virus, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions of such third-party service providers could, among other things,
adversely affect our ability to serve our users, and could even result in the misappropriation of funds of our investors and borrowers.
If that were to occur, both we and third-party service providers could be held liable to clients who suffer losses from the misappropriation.
Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential
information could also expose us to risk relating to misappropriation of funds of our clients, which may subject us to liabilities, reduce
the attractiveness of our marketplace and cause reputational harm and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We may encounter potential conflicts of
interest from time to time, and the failure to identify and address such conflicts of interest could adversely affect our business.
We face the possibility of actual, potential,
or perceived conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of our business operations. Conflicts of interest may exist between (i) our
different businesses; (ii) us and our clients; (iii) our clients; (iv) us and our employees; and (v) our clients and
our employees. As we expand the scope of our business and client base, it is critical for us to be able to timely address potential conflicts
of interest, including situations where two or more interests within our businesses naturally exist but are in competition or conflict.
We have put in place internal control and risk management procedures that are designed to identify and address conflicts of interest.
However, appropriately identifying and managing actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our
reputation and our clients' confidence in us could be damaged if we fail, or appears to fail, to deals appropriately with one or
more actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. It is possible that actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest
could also give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation, or regulatory enforcement actions. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in
connection with, conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect
our business in a number of ways, including a reluctance of some potential clients and counterparties to do business with us. Any of the
foregoing could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.
22
We
derived a substantial portion of revenue from a small number of key clients.
In 2020, 2021 and 2022, we derived a substantial
portion of our revenue from a small number of key clients. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of revenues are concentrated
with a limited number of clients. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated
by these key clients. In addition, revenues from our larger clients have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on
their trading volume. If these key clients trade less frequently on our platform or suspend or terminate their relationship with us, our
business and results of operation will be adversely affected. However, as the trading platform expands and following the Business Combination,
we anticipate, but without assurance, that this concentration may possibly be decreasing in the future.
We face intense competition, and if we do
not compete effectively, our results of operations and business prospects may be adversely affected.
We primarily compete in CFD trading market and
online brokerage market, and both are highly competitive. We compete primarily on the basis of our proprietary trading platform, comprehensive
client services, full brokerage licenses, innovative products and services, robust infrastructure and advanced technology, as well as
brand equity. We face fierce competition from other online brokerage platforms, other investment and trading platforms as well as traditional
brokerage and financial institutions. Our competitors may compete with us in a variety of ways, including (i) providing services
that are similar to, or more attractive to clients than ours; (ii) providing products and services we do not offer; (iii) offering
more aggressive rebates to gain market share and to promote other businesses; (iv) adapting at a faster rate to market conditions,
new technologies and clients' demands; (v) offering better, faster and more reliable technology; (vi) broadening their
client base more cost effectively or faster and (vii) marketing, promoting and providing their services more effectively. Additionally,
a current or potential competitor may acquire one or more of our existing competitors or form a strategic alliance with one or more of
our competitors. When new competitors seek to enter our target market, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market
share, they sometimes undercut the pricing or other terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share or our
ability to exploit new market opportunities.
Furthermore, since the CFD trading services are
relatively new and evolving for PRC residents, our potential clients may not fully understand how our platform works and may not be able
to fully appreciate the additional client protections and features that we have invested in and adopted on our platform as compared to
others. Our pricing and terms could deteriorate if we fail to act to meet these competitive challenges. Furthermore, to the extent that
our competitors are able to offer more attractive terms to our business partners, such business partners may choose to terminate their
relationships with us. If we are unable to compete with such companies and meet the need for innovation in our industry, the demand for
our marketplace could stagnate or substantially decline, we could experience reduced revenues and our marketplace could fail to achieve
or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.
We may fail to implement new business lines,
or introduce new products and services to our clients, or we may fail to successfully expand our business.
Our future success is dependent upon on our ability
to implement new business lines and offer new products and services, to better respond to market changes and clients' evolving needs.
There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully
developed. We may invest significant time and resources in developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services.
Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and
price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives
and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service.
In addition, new service offerings may not be accepted by the market or be as profitable as we expect. Furthermore, any new line of business
and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to successfully
manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, our strategy to expand business operation
and enter into new markets may subject us to additional risks. As we enter into markets that are new to us, we must tailor our services
and business model to the unique circumstances of such countries and markets, which can be complex, difficult, costly and divert management
and personnel resources. In addition, we may face competition in other countries from companies that may have more experience with operations
in such countries or with global operations in general. To continue to expand our services internationally, we may have to comply with
the regulatory controls of each country in which we conduct or intend to conduct business, the requirements of which may not be clearly
defined. Even if we expand our businesses into new jurisdictions or areas, the expansion may not yield intended profitable results.
23
Fraud, misconduct or errors by our directors,
officers, employees, agents and other third-party service providers could harm our business and reputation.
It is not always possible to identify and deter
fraud, misconduct or errors by directors, employees, agents or external service providers, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent
this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Fraud or misconduct by any of these persons or
entities may cause us to suffer significant reputational harm and financial loss or result in regulatory disciplinary actions. The potential
harm to our reputation and to our business caused by such fraud or misconduct is impossible to quantify.
We
are subject to a number of obligations and standards arising from our business. The violation of these obligations and standards by any
of our directors, officers, employees, agents, clients, or other third parties could materially and adversely affect us and our investors.
For example, we are required to properly handle confidential information. If our directors, officers, employees, agents, clients, or
other third parties were to improperly use or disclose confidential information, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial
position, and existing and future business relationships. Although we have not identified any material fraud or misconduct by our directors,
officers, employees, agents, clients, or other third parties since we commenced our current businesses in 2016, if any of these persons
or entities were to engage in fraud or misconduct or were to be accused of such fraud or misconduct, our business and reputation could
be materially and adversely affected.
A significant decrease in our liquidity
could negatively affect our business and financial management as well as reduce client confidence in us.
Maintaining adequate liquidity is crucial to our
business operations. We are subject to liquidity and capital adequacy requirements in Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, and Singapore. We
meet our liquidity needs primarily through cash generated by operating activities and capital contribution, as well as cash provided by
external financing. Fluctuations in client cash or deposit balances, as well as changes in regulatory treatment of client deposits or
market conditions, may affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs. A reduction in our liquidity position could reduce our clients'
confidence, which could result in the loss of client trading accounts, or could cause us to fail to satisfy liquidity requirements of
regulatory authorities. In addition, failure to meet regulatory capital guidelines can result in investigations and regulatory actions,
which may lead to penalties, including reprimands, fines, limitations or prohibitions on our future business activities or suspension
or revocation of our licenses or trading rights.
In addition, our ability to satisfy our liquidity
and capital needs may be affected by a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, macroeconomic and socio-political
conditions, fluctuations in cash or deposit balances, increased capital requirements, changes in regulatory guidance or interpretations,
or other regulatory changes. If cash generated by client trading activities and operating earnings is not sufficient for our liquidity
needs, we may be forced to seek external financing. During periods of disruptions in the credit and capital markets, potential sources
of external financing could be reduced, and borrowing costs could increase. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at
all, due to market conditions or disruptions in the credit markets. If we experience any significant decrease in our liquidity, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We may not succeed in promoting and sustaining
our brand.
We believe that developing and maintaining awareness
of our brand effectively is critical to attracting new and retaining existing clients to our platform. This depends largely on the effectiveness
of our marketing efforts and the success of the channels we use to promote our marketplace. If any of our current marketing channels become
less effective, if we are unable to continue to use any of these channels, if the cost of using these channels were to significantly increase
or if we are not successful in generating new channels, we may not be able to attract new investors and borrowers in a cost-effective
manner or convert potential investors and borrowers into active investors and borrowers on our marketplace.
Our efforts to build our brand may not result
in increased revenues in the immediate future or at all and, even if they do, any increases in revenues may not offset the expenses incurred.
If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand while incurring substantial expenses, our results of operations and financial
condition would be adversely affected, which may impair our ability to grow our business.
24
We face risks related to our know-your-customer,
or KYC procedures when our clients provide outdated, inaccurate, false or misleading information.
Although we conduct KYC procedure before we approve
our client's account open request, our KYC procedure has some inherent limitations and we may not be able to spot our clients'
outdated, inaccurate, false or misleading information. Our KYC procedures include but not limited to (i) collecting the identification
information of our client such as name, gender, email, nationality, date of birth, type of identity document, identity document number,
tax identification number and wallet address; (ii) background check on whether the clients' nationality fall within the scope of
US sanction countries; (iii) monitoring our clients' IP addresses, and etc. Our KYC procedures may not be effective if (i) we
fail to identify any fake documents supplied by our clients; or (ii) our clients use a VPN router to circumvent our IP blacklist. We collect
client information during the account opening and registration process and screens accounts against public databases or collaborates with
external service providers to verify client identity and detecting risks. Although we require our clients to submit documents for proof
of their identity and address for completing the account registration and to update such information from time to time, we face risks
as the information provided by our clients may be outdated, inaccurate, false or misleading. We cannot fully confirm the accuracy, currency
and completeness of such information beyond reasonable effort. For example, to reduce the risk of being subject to complex U.S. laws
and regulations, we do not allow U.S. citizens or residents to open an account with us and we require our potential clients to provide
their passports or identity cards before account opening. However, if a potential client only provides his PRC identity card, which is
usually valid for 10 years or more, and misinforms us that he does not also possess a U.S. passport or permanent resident card,
we might not be able to detect such misinformation. In addition, as a client who is not a U.S. citizen or resident at the time of
account registration may later obtain U.S. citizenship or residential status and fail to update us in a timely manner, our customer
database might not be entirely accurate at all time.
We have established an IP blacklist to block the
users from U.S. sanctioned countries and the U.S. We also collect client information during the account opening and registration process
and screen accounts against public databases and collaborates with external service providers to verify client identity and detecting
risks. We have two separate teams conduct our KYC procedure on new clients' backgrounds and identify manually. We will reject all
account applications if there is any U.S. exposure. For example, we will not allow U.S. citizens or residents to open an account with
us and we will require our potential clients to provide copies of their passports or identity cards in connection with their account applications.
Although we will require our clients to submit documents for proof of their identity for completing the account registration and to update
such information from time to time, we face risks as the information provided by our clients may be outdated, inaccurate, false or misleading.
We cannot fully confirm the accuracy, currency and completeness of such information beyond reasonable effort. As stated above, if a potential
client only provides his or her PRC identity card, which is usually valid for 10 years or more, and misinforms us that he or she does
not also possess a U.S. passport or permanent resident card, we might not be able to detect such misinformation. In addition, as a client
who is not a U.S. citizen or resident at the time of account registration may later obtain U.S. citizenship or residential status and
fail to update us in a timely manner, our customer database might not be entirely accurate at all time. Despite our efforts to exclude
persons who reside in jurisdictions where we have no license or permit such as the United States, our provision of products and services
to such clients could be in violation of the applicable laws and regulations in those jurisdictions, of which we may have no awareness
until we are warned by the relevant supervising authorities. In addition, anonymous accounts are generally not allowed to be opened, heightened
scrutiny measures are imposed on accounts opened on behalf of third parties and additional verification measures are conducted before
we accept third party payments against the accounts of our clients. Furthermore, any security breaches, hacking, or other malicious activities
could render the KYC procedures and/or IP blacklist vulnerable to manipulation and changes, thus, rendering them ineffective in achieving
their initial objectives. To address the limitations of our KYC procedures and/or IP blacklist, we have implemented self-certification
procedures and engage third-party vendors to verify the applications, including name and background checks. Applicants are required to
submit copies of their ID or passport as part of our KYC process, which will be verified by the third-party vendors. We will only open
an account for applicants whose KYC process have been cleared by our procedures, including those of the third-party vendors. Even though
we have adopted these procedures, we may still fail to detect the existence of such breaches in our KYC procedures and system, which may
lead to disciplinary or other actions by the U.S. regulatory agencies due to claimed noncompliance which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
25
Despite our safeguards, we could still be subject
to certain legal or regulatory sanctions, fines or penalties, financial loss, or damage to reputation resulting from such violations.
In particular, following the listing on Nasdaq, as we become increasingly renown in the United States and worldwide, there is no
assurance that we will be able to successfully identify and exclude all persons who resides in jurisdictions where we have no license
or permit to operate, including the United States. If U.S. citizens and residents were to register on and begin using our platform,
we may be subject to the scrutiny of U.S. regulatory agencies and required to comply with applicable laws and regulations in the
United States, including the requirements to obtain relevant licenses and permits for providing our products to U.S. citizens
and residents. We currently do not intend to apply for such licenses and permits in the United States, and if we determine to do
so, there is no guarantee that we will successfully obtain such licenses in a timely fashion, or at all. We could be subject to disciplinary
or other actions by the U.S. regulatory agencies due to claimed noncompliance which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, although we have strict internal
policies for continuing KYC procedures after the activation of accounts and for issues such as anti-corruption, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering,
export controls and securities fraud, we mainly rely on our continuing KYC procedures to ensure our compliance with relevant laws and
regulations related to anti-corruption, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering, export controls and securities fraud. Although
we have trainings for our employees in all of our departments, our KYC system and procedures cannot be foolproof. As the KYC system and
procedures are conducted manually, they are subject to inherent limitations and errors in oversight, which could cause our compliance
and other risk management strategies to be ineffective. Despite our efforts, any potential flaw in our KYC system or any misconduct in
the KYC procedures by any of our employees may lead to our failure of compliance with such relevant laws and regulations, which will further
subject us to certain legal or regulatory sanctions, fines or penalties, financial loss, or damage to reputation, and we may not be successful
in deterring or identifying illegal activity.
Our clients may engage in fraudulent or
illegal activities on our platform.
We have implemented stringent internal control
policies, insider trading, anti-money laundering and other anti-fraud rules and mechanisms on our platform, for example, we cooperated
with third party search system service provider to check if our clients are politically exposed persons or on certain sanction lists (including
but not limited to the lists of money laundering, terrorist financing or other crimes). Nevertheless, we remain subject to the risk of
fraudulent or illegal activities both on our platform and associated with our clients, funding and other business partners, and third
parties handling client information. Our resources, technologies and fraud detection tools may be insufficient to accurately detect and
prevent fraudulent or illegal activities.
Any misbehavior of or violation by our clients
of applicable laws and regulations could lead to regulatory inquiries and investigations that involve it, which may affect our business
operation and prospects. We might also incur higher costs than expected in order to take additional steps to reduce risks related to fraudulent
and illegal activities. High-profile fraudulent or illegal activities, for example, money laundering, insider trading and securities fraud,
could also lead to regulatory intervention, and may divert our management's attention and cause us to incur additional regulatory
and litigation expenses and costs. Although our client agreements require clients to acknowledge that they will observe all insider trading,
money laundering and securities fraud laws and regulations in applicable jurisdictions and to assume liabilities for all restrictions,
penalties and other responsibilities arising from conducts suspected to constitute insider trading, money laundering and/or, securities
fraud, we cannot verify whether every transaction conducted by our clients is in compliance with such laws and regulations because our
clients may circumvent our due diligence measures to commit insider trading and/or money laundering. Significant increases in fraudulent
or illegal activities could negatively impact our brand and reputation, reduce the trading volume on our platform and therefore harm our
operating and financial results.
In addition, we could also suffer serious harm
to our reputation, financial condition, client relationships and even be subject to regulatory sanctions and significant legal liability,
if any of our employees engage in illegal or suspicious activities or other misconduct. See "
Fraud, misconduct or errors
by our directors, officers, employees, agents and other third-party service providers could harm our business and reputation
."
Although we have not experienced any material business or reputational harm as a result of fraudulent or illegal activities in the past,
we cannot rule out the possibility that any of the foregoing may occur, causing harm to our business or reputation in the future. If any
of the foregoing were to occur, our results of operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected.
26
Our business depends on the continued efforts
of our senior management, particularly our founder and controlling shareholder, Mr. Jian Wang. If one or more of our key executives were
unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business may be severely disrupted.
Our business operations depend on the continued
services of our senior management. While we provide a variety of attractive incentives to our management, we cannot assure you that we
can continue to retain their services. Although there has been no departures of our senior management members in the past, we cannot assure
you that our existing senior management members will not terminate their employment with us in the future. In addition, we do not have
any key man insurance for our executive officers or key employees. If one or more of our key executives were unable or unwilling to continue
in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, our future growth may be constrained, our business may
be severely disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, and we may incur
additional expenses to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel. In addition, there is no assurance that any member of our management
team will not join one of our competitors or form a competing business. If any dispute arises between us and our current or former officers,
we may have to incur substantial costs and expenses in order to enforce such agreements in China or we may be unable to enforce them at
all.
User growth and activity on mobile devices
depend upon effective use of mobile operating system, networks and standards, over which we do not have control.
In April 2020, we launched our newly developed
all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app. There are substantial uncertainties associated with the newly launched app, including compatibility with
mobile operating systems, and we cannot assure you we could operate successfully or as we expected. In addition, our future growth and
our results of operations could suffer if we experience difficulties in the future in integrating our services into mobile devices or
if problems arise with our relationships with providers of mobile operating systems or mobile app stores, or if we face increased costs
to distribute or have users utilize our services on mobile devices. We are further dependent on the interoperability of providing our
services on popular mobile operating systems that we do not control, such as iOS and Android, and any changes in such systems that degrade
the accessibility of our services or give preferential treatment to competing products could adversely affect the usability of our services
on mobile devices. In the event that it is more difficult for our users to access and utilize our services on their mobile devices, or
if our users choose not to access or utilize our services on their mobile devices or to use mobile operating systems that do not offer
access to our services, our user growth could be harmed and our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to prevent others from
unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We regard our trademarks, domain names, know-how,
proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on a combination of intellectual property
laws and contractual arrangements, including confidentiality, invention assignment and non-compete agreements with our employees and others
to protect our proprietary rights. "
Business — Intellectual Property
." Despite these measures, any
of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may
not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages.
It is often difficult to maintain and enforce
intellectual property rights. Statutory laws and regulations are subject to judicial interpretation and enforcement and may not be applied
consistently due to the lack of clear guidance on statutory interpretation. Confidentiality, invention assignment and non-compete agreements
may be breached by counterparties, and there may not be adequate remedies available to us for any such breach. Accordingly, we may not
be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or to enforce our contractual rights. Preventing any unauthorized use
of our intellectual property is difficult and costly and the steps we take may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual
property. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial
costs and a diversion of our managerial and financial resources. We can provide no assurance that we will prevail in such litigation.
In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. To
the extent that our employees or consultants use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to
the rights in related know-how and inventions. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
27
We may be subject to intellectual property
infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.
We cannot be certain that our operations or any
aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual
property rights held by third parties. We may be from time to time in the future subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the
intellectual property rights of others. In addition, there may be third-party trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual
property rights that are infringed by our products, services or other aspects of our business without our awareness. Holders of such intellectual
property rights may seek to enforce such intellectual property rights against us in Hong Kong, PRC, Singapore, Cayman Islands, the
United States or other jurisdictions. If any third-party infringement claims are brought against us, we may be forced to divert management's
time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these claims, regardless of their merits. If we were found
to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be
prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. As
a result, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. As the date of this annual report, the application
for one of our trademarks is still pending. If we are unable to complete these registrations, we may not be able to prohibit unauthorized
use or prevent other infringements of these trademarks.
We and our directors and officers may from
time to time be subject to claims, controversies, lawsuits and legal proceedings.
We and our directors and officers may from time
to time become subject to or involved in various claims, controversies, lawsuits, and legal proceedings. Claims, lawsuits, and litigations
are subject to inherent uncertainties, and we are uncertain whether the foregoing claim would develop into a lawsuit. Lawsuits and litigations
may cause us to incur defense costs, utilize a significant portion of our resources and divert management's attention from our day-to-day
operations, any of which could harm our business. Any settlements or judgments against us could have a material adverse impact on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, negative publicity regarding claims or judgments made against
us may damage our reputation and may result in a material adverse impact on us.
If
we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report
our results of operations, meet reporting obligations or prevent fraud. As a result, holders of our securities could lose confidence in
our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and trading price of our securities.
Prior
to the Business Combination, we are a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our
internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control
over financial reporting. In connection with auditing consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019,
our independent registered public accounting firm and Lion had identified two material weaknesses in our internal controls.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Upon
completion of this Business Combination, we became a public company and we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, requires us include a report from management on the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. During
2020, we have implemented remedial measures to address the material weaknesses identified in 2019.
Following
the issuance of SEC guidance relating to warrant accounting, on June 11, 2021, our management and our audit committee concluded that,
it was appropriate to restate certain of our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. As part of such
process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, which has been remediated in 2021.
Although we have already implemented remedial
measures to address the material weakness, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the deficiencies in our internal
control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that we have been fully remedied. In the future, we may determine that we have
additional control deficiencies, or our independent registered public accounting firm may disagree with our management assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal controls. Our failure to correct the material weakness or failure to discover and address any other control
deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial
reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which may result in volatility in and a decline in the market price of our securities.
28
Furthermore, it is possible that, had our independent
registered public accounting firm conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, such accountant might have identified
additional material weaknesses. In addition, once we cease to be an "emerging growth company" as such term is defined in the
JOBS Act and do not qualify for the carve-out as defined by SEC's Accelerated Filer and Large Accelerated Filer Definition, our
independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes
that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting our
own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if we are not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which
our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition,
the reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable
future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.
Lion may not be able to obtain additional
capital on favorable terms or at all.
Lion anticipates that our current cash, cash provided
by operating activities and funds available through our current and anticipated bank loans and credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our current and anticipated needs for general corporate purposes. However, Lion needs to make continued investments in products development,
hardware, software, IT systems, business expansion and to retain talents to remain competitive. Lion may need to raise funds through public
or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such funding, will be available on
terms acceptable to Lion, or at all. Furthermore, any equity financing will be dilutive to existing shareholders, and debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility with respect to certain business matters. If
adequate capital is not available to Lion as required, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities,
develop or enhance our infrastructure or respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited, which would adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to litigation, arbitration
or other legal proceeding risk.
We may be subject to arbitration claims and lawsuits
in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this annual report, we are not a party to, and are not aware of any threat of,
any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or operations. Actions brought against us may result in settlements, awards, injunctions, fines, penalties and other results adverse to
us. Predicting the outcome of such matters is inherently difficult, particularly where claims are brought on behalf of various classes
of claimants or by a large number of claimants, when claimants seek substantial or unspecified damages or when investigations or legal
proceedings are at an early stage. A substantial judgment, settlement, fine or penalty could be material to our operating results or cash
flows for a particular period, depending on our results for that period, or could cause us significant reputational harm, which could
harm our business prospects. In market downturns, the volume of legal claims and amount of damages sought in litigation and regulatory
proceedings against securities brokerage companies have historically increased. The amounts involved in the trades we execute, together
with rapid price movements in our currency pairs, can result in potentially large damage claims in any litigation resulting from such
trades. Dissatisfied clients may make claims against us regarding the quality of trade execution, improperly settled trades, mismanagement
or even fraud, and these claims may increase as our business expands.
In addition, even if we prevail in any litigation
or enforcement proceedings against us, we could incur significant legal expenses defending against the claims, even those without merit.
Moreover, because even claims without merit can damage our reputation or raise concerns among our clients, we may feel compelled to settle
claims at significant cost. The initiation of any claim, proceeding or investigation against us, or an adverse resolution of any such
matter could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.
We may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures
that could present unforeseen integration obstacles, incur unpredicted costs or may not enhance our business as we expected.
We may in the future pursue acquisitions and joint
ventures as part of our growth strategy. Any future acquisition or joint venture may result in exposure to potential liabilities of the
acquired companies, significant transaction costs and present new risks associated with entering additional markets or offering new products
and integrating the acquired companies or newly established joint ventures. Potential liabilities may arise from deficiencies in due diligence
findings and deficient past track record results.
Moreover, we may not have sufficient management,
financial and other resources to integrate companies we acquire or to successfully operate joint ventures and we may be unable to profitably
operate our expanded company structure. Additionally, any new business that we may acquire or joint ventures we may form, once integrated
with our existing operations, may not produce expected or intended results.
29
A sustained outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Since late December 2019, the outbreak of
a novel strain of coronavirus, later named COVID-19, spread rapidly throughout China and later to the rest of the world. On January 30,
2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a "Public
Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)," and later on March 11, 2020 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has led
governments across the globe to impose a series of measures intended to contain its spread, including border closures, travel bans, quarantine
measures, social distancing, and restrictions on business operations and large gatherings.
This outbreak of COVID-19 has caused companies
like us and our business partners to implement temporary adjustments to work schedules and travel plans, mandating employees to work from
home and collaborate remotely. As a result, we may have experienced lower efficiency and productivity, internally and externally, which
may adversely affect our service quality. Moreover, our business depends on our employees and the continued services of these individuals.
If any of our employees has contracted or is suspected of having contracted COVID-19, these employees will be required to be quarantined
and they could pass it to other of our employees, potentially resulting in severe disruption to our business.
Furthermore, our results of operations have been
severely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. CFD trading volumes and insurance contract volumes decreased significantly compared to pre-COVID
period, which was mainly attributable to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on our customers, causing a decrease
in both their willingness to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated making such transactions. Customers'
concerns about future unpredictability also caused their trading activity to decline, impacting our CFD trading business in particular.
In addition, travel restrictions in Hong Kong caused cancellations and prevented management from attending branding, business promotions,
and exhibition activities, which limited the opportunities to acquire new customers. Meanwhile, our futures and insurance brokerage businesses
were adversely affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong Kong to open new futures trading accounts or purchase
insurance products in 2022. More broadly, the COVID-19 outbreak threatens global economies and has caused significant market volatility
and declines in general economic activities. This may have severely dampened the confidence in global markets of investors, including
our clients, resulting in decreases in overall trading activities and restraint in their investment decisions.
Any future impact on our results of operations
will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the spread or treat its impact, almost
all of which are beyond our control. Given the general slowdown in economic conditions globally, volatility in the capital markets as
well as the general negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the insurance brokerage, securities and futures brokerage and overall
financial service industry, we cannot assure you that we can launch new products and services in a timely manner or that we can maintain
the growth rate we have experienced or projected. Because of the uncertainty surrounding it, the financial impact related to the COVID-19
outbreak and the response to it cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but our financial condition and operating results for 2020,
2021, and 2022 were adversely affected. In December 2022, the Chinese government announced that it will be downgrading its management
of COVID-19 as of January 8, 2023, rolling back some of its stringent anti-COVID-19 restrictions, including strict quarantine and travel
restriction rules. We will continue to monitor the impacts on our business and operations caused by the changing COVID-19 restrictions.
We face risks related to natural disasters,
health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations.
We are vulnerable to natural disasters and other
calamities. Fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or
similar events may give rise to server interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or Internet failures,
which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our ability to provide
products and services on our marketplace. Moreover, besides COVID-19, our business could also be adversely affected by Ebola virus disease,
Zika virus disease, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu, SARS or other epidemics.
Our
headquarters are located in Singapore, where we leased one principal executive office. We also have offices in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands.
In addition, some of our system hardware and back-up systems are hosted in leased facilities located in Hong Kong. If any of the
abovementioned natural disasters, health epidemics or other outbreaks were to occur in Hong Kong, our operation may experience material
disruptions, such as temporary closure of our system and suspension of services, which may materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
30
Our business is sensitive to general economic
and political conditions and other factors beyond our control, and our results of operation are prone to significant and unpredictable
fluctuations.
Our revenues depend substantially on our clients'
trading volume, which are influenced by the general trading activities in the market. Trading activities are directly influenced by a
variety of factors beyond our control, including economic and political conditions, macro trends in business and finance, investors'
interest level in trading and legislative and regulatory changes in the jurisdictions where we operate. Any of these or other factors
may cause trading activity levels in our industry to fluctuate and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
For example, from June 2019 to 2020, there
had been large and frequent riots in Hong Kong following the forfeited extradition bill, many of which have been violent. The sustained
riot caused a material adverse effect on Hong Kong's economy and social order, which in turn negatively impacted on our insurance
agency business as fewer Chinese clients had come to Hong Kong for insurance purchase. There can be no assurance that situation will
not rise again in the future. Any future increase in tension or failure to restore public and social order by the Hong Kong government
could adversely impact the security and stability of Hong Kong, in particular, Hong Kong's financial market.
Moreover, following the outbreak and spread of
COVID-19 as well as the OPEC-Russia oil price war, on March 9, 2020, all three major U.S. trading indexes, Dow Jones Industrial Average,
S&P 500 Index and the NASDAQ-100 dropped significantly, leading to a 15-minute circuit breaker that halted the trading. The circuit
breaker was triggered several additional times during the days that followed, which led to multiple large declines in the trading indexes.
Other stock markets in the rest of the world have also experienced similar falls in stock prices.
Russia's recent military interventions in
Ukraine have led to, and may lead to, additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against
Russia. Russia's military incursion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus
could affect the value of the Lion's investments, even though the Lion does not have any direct exposure to Russia or the adjoining
geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict,
but could be substantial. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or resulting sanctions may magnify the impact of other
risks described in this section. The volatility of global stock market may adversely affect our clients' confidence and willingness
in trading and/or investing in the financial market. As a result, our operating results may be subject to significant and unpredictable
fluctuations.
The current trade war between the U.S. and
China may dampen growth in China and other markets where the majority of our clients reside.
The U.S. government has imposed, and has proposed
to impose additional, new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from China to penalize China for what it characterizes as unfair
trade practices. China has responded by imposing, and proposing to impose additional, new or higher tariffs on specified products imported
from the U.S. Certain tariffs have already been adopted by both sides, and the two countries often meet to negotiate arrangements that
would include the decreasing or removal of tariffs, but Lion cannot assure you that the negotiations will be successful in reducing tariffs
or that other tariffs will not be imposed, even if an agreement will be reached. On October 11, 2019, the U.S. government announced that
the two countries had reached a "Phase 1" agreement, which was signed on January 16, 2020. However, due to various political
developments, including a new administration in the U.S. government, it remains to be unclear whether any "Phase 2" agreement
will be negotiated and how much economic relief from the trade war it will offer.
Although we are not subject to any of those tariff
measures, the proposed tariffs may adversely affect the economic growth in China, Hong Kong and other markets in which we operate,
as well as the financial condition of our clients. With the potential decrease in the spending and investment power of our target clients,
we cannot guarantee that there will be no negative impact on our operations. In addition, the current and future actions or escalations
by either the U.S. or China that affect trade relations may cause global economic turmoil and potentially have a negative impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations, and we cannot provide any assurance as to whether such actions will occur or
the form that they may take.
Risk Related to our Corporate Structure
We may rely on dividends and other distributions
on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries
to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.
We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman
Islands, and we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements,
including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If
any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay
dividends or make other distributions to us.
Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue
Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. Any limitation on the ability of our Hong
Kong subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments
or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business. Shareholders of a
Cayman company will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands with respect to their shares
in the Cayman company and dividends received on those shares, nor will they be subject to any estate or inheritance taxes in the Cayman
Islands. There are no exchange controls in the Cayman Islands. Under the Companies Act, a Cayman company may declare and pay a dividend
to shareholders from time to time out of the profits or out of the share premium account, provided that the company shall be able to pay
its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
31
Risks Related to Doing Business in Jurisdictions
We Operate
A downturn in the Hong Kong, China
or global economy, and economic and political policies of China could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
A substantial part of our operations are located
in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant
degree by political, economic and social conditions in Hong Kong and China generally and by continued economic growth in Hong Kong
and China as a whole. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount
of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the Chinese
economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors
of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources.
Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us.
Economic conditions in Hong Kong and China
are sensitive to global economic conditions. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may affect potential clients'
confidence in financial market as a whole and have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally,
continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
The Hong Kong legal system embodies
uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to Lion.
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region
of the PRC. Following British colonial rule from 1842 to 1997, China assumed sovereignty under the "one country, two systems"
principle. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's constitutional document, the Basic Law, ensures that the current political
situation will remain in effect for 50 years. Hong Kong has enjoyed the freedom to function in a high degree of autonomy for
its affairs, including currencies, immigration and custom, independent judiciary system and parliamentary system. On July 14, 2020, the
United States signed an executive order to end the special status enjoyed by Hong Kong post-1997. As the autonomy currently enjoyed were
compromised, it could potentially impact Hong Kong's common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for
example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operation. Additionally,
intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or
other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation
of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national
laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our
clients.
Hong Kong regulatory requirement of
prior approval for transfer of shares in excess of certain threshold may restrict future takeovers and other transactions.
Section 132 of Securities and Futures Ordinance
(Cap. 157 of the laws of Hong Kong) (the "SFO") requires prior approval from the HKSFC for any company or individual
to become a substantial shareholder of a HKSFC-licensed company in Hong Kong. Under the SFO, a person will be a "substantial
shareholder" of a licensed company if he, either alone or with associates, has an interest in or is entitled to control the exercise
of the voting power of more than 10% of the total number of issued shares of the licensed company, or exercises control of 35% or more
of the voting power of a company that controls more than 10% of the voting power of the licensed company. Further, all potential parties
who will be new substantial shareholder(s) of the our HKSFC-licensed subsidiaries, which are Lion International Securities Group Limited,
Lion Futures Limited and Lion Asset Management Limited, are required to seek prior approval from the HKSFC. This regulatory requirement
may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Lion, which could deprive our shareholders the opportunity to receive a premium
for their shares as part of a future sale and may reduce the price of our shares upon the consummation of a future proposed business combination.
32
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal
system could adversely affect us.
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may
subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. PRC companies and variable interests entities are generally subject to laws and regulations
applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The
PRC legal system is based on statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have
significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully
integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China.
In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their
nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal
system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may
have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation.
In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
Changes in the policies, regulations, rules,
and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be quick with little advance notice and could have a significant impact upon our
ability to operate profitably in the PRC.
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may
subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC
government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC and the ability of businesses to operate profitably. Our ability
to operate profitably in the PRC may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including changes in laws, regulations
or their interpretation, particularly those dealing with the Internet, including censorship and other restriction on material which can
be transmitted over the Internet, security, intellectual property, money laundering, taxation and other laws that affect our ability to
operate our business in China.
The Chinese government may exercise significant
oversight and discretion over the conduct of business in the PRC and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could
result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities.
Although our substantial operations are based
in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, we launched our apps in the app stores of China, most of our users are PRC citizens and
we recently established a PRC subsidiary in Hangzhou, which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. The Chinese government
has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and
state ownership. Our ability to conduct our current business may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating
to taxation, environmental regulations, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose
new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part
to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision
not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in
the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof,
and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
33
The PRC government has recently published new
policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility
that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control
over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities by, and overseas and/or foreign investment in, companies with
operations in mainland China, including enhancing supervision over companies with operations in mainland China that are listed overseas
using VIE structure, and that the PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the use of such VIE holding structure. We do not believe that
we are directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we do not currently have any VIE or contractual arrangements in
mainland China. Our substantial operation is based in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, and our PRC subsidiary in Hangzhou
was established solely for purpose of passive equity investment in China with no substantial business activities of itself. As of the
date of this annual report, Lion Group (Hangzhou) Investment Limited does not have any operations or investment other than holding 25%
of the partnership interest in Hangzhou Qianlan Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership). The Foreign Investment Law of
the PRC, or the Foreign Investment Law, adopted by the National People's Congress in March 2019 and became effective on January
2020, grants pre-establishment national treatment to foreign investors to make investment in China, so long as such investment does not
violate the "negative list". The negative list currently effective is the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List)
for the Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Edition), or the Negative List 2021, which became effective on January 1, 2022. Any industry
not listed in the Negative List 2021 shall be deemed as permitted industry and generally open to the foreign investment unless specifically
prohibited or restricted by the PRC laws and regulations. Pursuant to these regulations, there are no restrictions on foreign investment
in establishing subsidiaries and passive equity investment in a limited partnership. As a result, our PRC subsidiary does not require
VIE structure or other contractual arrangements for its current operation and the Company holds 100% equity interests in Lion Group (Hangzhou)
Investment Limited through Lion Wealth Limited.
While our current corporate structure does not
contain any VIEs and our group has no intention establishing any VIEs in the future, if in the future our group's corporate structure
were to contain a VIE, the PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change
in our operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities we are registering for sale, including that it could cause the
value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless. Moreover, the rules and regulations and the enforcement
thereof in China can change quickly. The PRC regulatory authorities could change the rules, regulations and policies regarding foreign
ownership in the industry in which we operate, which would likely result in material change in our operations and/or a material change
in the value of the securities we are registering for sale, including that it could cause the value of the securities to significantly
decline, or become worthless.
As such, we could be subject to regulations by
various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions, and these regulations
may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with
existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply, and such compliance or any associated inquiries
or investigations or any other government actions may:
●
delay or impede our development;
●
result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs;
●
require significant management time and attention; and
●
subject our Company to remedies, administrative penalties
and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands
or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices.
34
Further, it is uncertain when and whether we will
be required to obtain any pre-approval from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges or to conduct our current business
operation, and even when such pre-approval is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Further, the promulgation of new
laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably may
impact the ability or the way we may conduct our business and could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance,
which could decrease demand for our products or services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits,
approvals or certificates, or subject it to additional liabilities. As such, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly,
by existing or future PRC laws and regulations relating to its business or industry, which could result in a material adverse change in
the value of our ADSs, potentially rendering it worthless. As a result, both you and us face uncertainty about future actions by the PRC
government that could significantly affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our
securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
The PRC government may intervene or influence
our business operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China based
issuers, which could result in a material change in our business operations or the value of our securities. Additionally, the approval
or other administration requirements of the CSRC, or other PRC governmental authorities, may be required under a PRC regulation or any
new laws, rules or regulations to be enacted, and if required, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval. The
regulation also establishes more complex procedures for acquisitions conducted by foreign investors that could make it more difficult
for us to grow through acquisitions.
Recent statements by the Chinese government have
indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based issuers.
The PRC has recently issued new rules that would require companies collecting or holding large amounts of data or critical data to undergo
a cybersecurity review prior to listing in other nations, a move that would significantly tighten oversight over China based companies.
In detail, in December 2021, the CAC, together with other authorities, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became
effective on February 15, 2022 and replaces its predecessor regulation. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, critical information
infrastructure operators that procure internet products and services and network platform operators that carry out data processing activities
that affect or may affect national security should be subject to the cybersecurity review. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further stipulates
that network platform operators that possess personal information of more than one million users shall apply for cybersecurity review
before seeking to list in a foreign stock exchange. Moreover, in November 2021, the CAC released the Administration Regulations on the
Cyber Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations. The Draft Cyber Data Regulations provide that data processors
refer to individuals or organizations that, during their data processing activities such as data collection, storage, utilization, transmission,
publication and deletion, have autonomy over the purpose and the manner of data processing. In accordance with the Draft Cyber Data Regulations,
data processors shall apply for a cybersecurity review for certain activities, including, among other things, (i) the listing abroad of
data processors that process the personal information of more than one million users and (ii) any data processing activity that affects
or may affect national security. In addition, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations requires that data processors that process "important
data" or are listed overseas must conduct an annual data security assessment by itself or commission a data security service provider
to do so, and submit the assessment report of the preceding year to the municipal cybersecurity department by the end of January each
year. As of the date of this annual report, the Draft Cyber Data Regulations was released for public comment only, and their respective
provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date may be subject to change with substantial uncertainty.
35
Although the substantial operation of us is based
in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and all of the data and personal information we collected are stored in servers outside
mainland China, we launched our apps in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, which may subject us to certain
laws and regulations in China. As such, we collect certain personal data from our customers in connection with our business and operations
and we are subject to various regulatory requirements relating to the security and privacy of data in various jurisdictions. Neither the
Cybersecurity Review Measures or the Draft Cyber Data Regulations had been issued or effective before our historic listing and the laws
and regulations then effective as of our historic listing did not require any issuer to obtain pre-approval from CAC before listing
at a foreign stock exchange. As of the date of this annual report, no detailed rules or implementation rules of the Cybersecurity Review
Measures have been issued by any authority and both the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Draft Cyber Data Regulations remain unclear
as to whether relevant requirements will be applicable to companies that have already been listed in the United States, such as us, for
our future offerings. As of the date of this annual report, we do not hold personal information of more than one million users and our
business activities does not involve risk factors regarding national security as stipulated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. We have
not been informed by any government authorities that we are deemed as a critical information infrastructure operator, and we have not
received any inquiry or notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings initiated by the CAC. Based on the foregoing and as
advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we believe that we are not required to apply for pre-approval from CAC before the issuance
of the securities and we are not subject to mandatory application requirement for cybersecurity review. However, the exact definition,
scope or criteria of "critical information infrastructure operators", "network platform operators" and "risk
factors regarding national security" under the current regulatory regime remains unclear, and the PRC government authorities may
have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of the applicable laws. Since our apps are available to download in the app
stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens, we cannot assure you that we would not be deemed by the authority as a critical
information infrastructure operator or carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, which may
subject us to order of clearance of cybersecurity review or other specific actions. We face uncertainties as to whether these additional
procedures can be completed by us timely, or at all, which may subject us to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines,
penalties, suspension of our non-compliant operations, or removal of our app from the relevant application stores, and materially
and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny from PRC
governmental authorities in the future. As there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of the Data Security
Law and the PIPL, we cannot assure you that we will comply with such regulations in all respects. Any non-compliance with these laws
and regulations may subject us to fines, orders to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities,
other penalties, including but not limited to removal of our apps in China market, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings
against us, which may affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the
Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the July 6 Opinion, to crack down
on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital markets, which, among other
things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial
cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial
application of the PRC securities laws. Since this document is relatively new, uncertainties still exist in relation to how soon legislative
or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations
will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our future offerings.
The M&A Rules adopted by six PRC regulatory
agencies requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled
by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle's
securities on an overseas stock exchange. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, based on their understanding of the current
PRC laws, rules and regulations that the CSRC's approval is not required for our listing and trading of our securities on Nasdaq,
given that our PRC subsidiary was incorporated as wholly foreign-owned enterprises by means of direct investment rather than by merger
or acquisition of equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A
Rules that are our beneficial owners. However, our PRC counsel has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the
M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject
to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot
assure you that relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.
36
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial
Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, which
will come into effect on March 31, 2023. As a supplement to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, on February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together
with other authorities, jointly revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities
Offering and Listing, collectively with the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, the Overseas Listing Regulations, which will come into effect
on March 31, 2023. The Overseas Listing Regulations set out new filing requirements, report obligations and guidance for confidentiality
and achieves administration with the CSRC for PRC domestic companies seeking direct or indirect listings and offerings in overseas markets.
An overseas listing will constitute an "indirect listing" where the issuer meets both of the following conditions: (i) 50%
or more of the issuer's operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets for the most recent accounting year is accounted
for by its PRC subsidiaries; and (ii) main parts of the business activities are conducted within mainland China, or main place of business
are located in mainland China, or a majority of the senior managers in charge of business operation and management are Chinese citizens
or domiciled in mainland China. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, we do not believe we will be subject to the filing and
reporting requirement under the Overseas Listing Regulations since our business activities and management team do not meet either of the
conditions. However, as the Overseas Listing Regulations were recently released and their interpretation and implementation remain uncertain.
If it is determined that any CSRC approval, filing,
cybersecurity review or other governmental authorization is required for our previous and future offering, we may face sanctions by the
CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to do so. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on operations in
the PRC, limitations on our operating privileges in the PRC, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from previous
or future offering into the PRC, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our PRC subsidiary, or other
actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects,
as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares. Furthermore, the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring
us, or making it advisable for us, to halt our future offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we are offering.
Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary
shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. And if our subsidiaries or the
holding company were denied permission from PRC authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S.
exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.
As of the date of this annual report, we have
not received any inquiry or notice or any objection to any of our previous offerings from the CSRC, the CAC or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction
over our operations in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, given the current regulatory environment in the PRC, there remain uncertainty
regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, which can change quickly with little advance notice subject to any future actions
of the PRC authorities. Uncertainties still exist, however, due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in the PRC could
change rapidly in the future. Any future action by the PRC government expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign
securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer
or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
37
Risks Related to our ADSs and our Securities
The price of our ADSs may be volatile.
The price of our ADSs may due to a variety of
factors, including but not limited to:
●
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our semi-annual and annual results and those of other public companies in the industry;
●
changes
in government regulation;
●
mergers
and strategic alliances in the financial services industry;
●
market
prices and conditions in the financial services market;
●
announcements
concerning us or our competitors; and
●
the
general state of the securities markets.
These market and industry factors may materially
reduce the market price of our ADSs, regardless of our operating performance. Volatility in the price of our ADSs may increase volatility
in the price of our warrants.
Reports published by analysts, including
projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our ADSs.
It is currently expected that securities research
analysts will establish and publish their own periodic projections for our business. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately
predict the results we actually achieve. Market price of our ADSs may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these
securities research analysts.
Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who
write reports on us downgrades our ADSs or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, price of our ADSs could decline.
If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our ADSs price or trading volume could
decline. While it is expected that research analyst coverage, if no analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price and volume for
our ADSs could be adversely affected.
We may issue additional Class A Ordinary
Shares or other equity securities, from time to time, without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress
the market price of our ADSs.
We may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares
or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, repayment
of outstanding indebtedness or our equity incentive plan, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances.
Our issuance of additional Class A Ordinary Shares
or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:
●
our
existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest and your holdings of ADSs in us will decrease;
●
the
amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;
●
the
relative voting strength of each previously outstanding ordinary shares may be diminished; and
●
the
market price of our ADSs may decline.
38
Holders of our ADSs may not have the same
voting rights as our registered shareholders and might not receive voting materials in time to be able to exercise their right to vote.
Except as described in this annual report and
in the deposit agreement, holders of our ADSs will not be able to exercise voting rights attaching to the underlying Class A Ordinary
Shares evidenced by the ADSs on an individual basis. Under the deposit agreement, holders of ADSs must vote by giving voting instructions
to the depositary, including instructions to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us. Upon receipt of such holder's
voting instructions, the depositary will vote the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with these instructions. ADSs holders
will not be able to directly exercise their right to vote with respect to the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares unless they withdraw
the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares. Holders of ADSs may not receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote, and
it is possible that holders of ADSs, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the
opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
The voting rights ADSs holders are limited
by the terms of the deposit agreement, and ADSs holders may not be able to exercise rights to direct how the Class A Ordinary Shares represented
by ADSs are voted.
A holder of our ADSs may only exercise the voting
rights with respect to the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Upon receipt
of voting instructions of a holder of ADSs in the manner set forth in the deposit agreement, the depositary will endeavor to vote the
underlying Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with these instructions. When a general meeting is convened, holders of ADSs may not
receive sufficient notice of a shareholders' meeting to permit them to withdraw the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs
to allow them to cast their votes with respect to any specific matter. In addition, the depositary and its agents may not be able to send
voting instructions to holders of ADSs or carry out their voting instructions in a timely manner. We will make all reasonable efforts
to cause the depositary to extend voting rights to ADSs holders in a timely manner, but we cannot assure such holders that they will receive
the voting materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their shares. Furthermore, the depositary will not
vote on any matter for which voting is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association and will not have an obligation to demand voting on a poll basis. The depositary and its agents will not be responsible
for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast, or for the effect of any such vote. As
a result, holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise their right to vote and may lack recourse if their equity shares are not voted as
requested.
We and the depository are entitled to amend
the deposit agreement and to change the rights of ADS holders under the terms of such agreement, and we may terminate the deposit agreement,
without the prior consent of the ADS holders.
We and the depository are entitled to amend the
deposit agreement and to change the rights of the ADS holders under the terms of such agreement, without the prior consent of the ADS
holders. We and the depositary may agree to amend the deposit agreement in any way we decide is necessary or advantageous to us. Amendments
may reflect, among other things, operational changes in the ADS program, legal developments affecting ADSs or changes in the terms of
our business relationship with the depositary. In the event that the terms of an amendment are disadvantageous to ADS holders, ADS holders
will only receive 30 days' advance notice of the amendment, and no prior consent of the ADS holders is required under the deposit
agreement. Furthermore, we may decide to terminate the ADS facility at any time for any reason. For example, terminations may occur when
we decide to list our ordinary shares on a non-U.S. securities exchange and determine not to continue to sponsor an ADS facility or when
we become the subject of a takeover or a going-private transaction. If the ADS facility will terminate, ADS holders will receive at least
90 days' prior notice, but no prior consent is required from them. Under the circumstances that we decide to make an amendment
to the deposit agreement that is disadvantageous to ADS holders or terminate the deposit agreement, the ADS holders may choose to sell
their ADSs or surrender their ADSs and become direct holders of the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares, but will have no right to any
compensation whatsoever.
39
ADSs holders may not be entitled to a jury
trial with respect to claims arising under the deposit agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in
any such action.
The deposit agreement governing the ADSs representing
our Class A Ordinary Shares provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any
claim that they may have against us or the depositary arising out of or relating to our ordinary shares, our ADSs or the deposit agreement,
including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws.
If we or the depositary opposed a jury trial demand
based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in
accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver
in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court.
However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the
State of New York, which govern the deposit agreement, by a federal or state court in the City of New York, which has non-exclusive jurisdiction
over matters arising under the deposit agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision,
courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that
this is the case with respect to the deposit agreement and our ADSs. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury
waiver provision before entering into the deposit agreement.
If you or any other holders or beneficial owners
of ADSs bring a claim against us or the depositary in connection with matters arising under the deposit agreement or our ADSs, including
claims under federal securities laws, you or such other holder or beneficial owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to
such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought against
us or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would
be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including
results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.
Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision
is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. No condition,
stipulation or provision of the deposit agreement or ADSs serves as a waiver by any holder or beneficial owner of ADSs or by us or the
depositary of compliance with any substantive provision of the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
An ADSs holder's right to participate
in any future rights offerings may be limited, which may cause dilution to such holder's holdings.
We may, from time to time, distribute rights to
our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we cannot make rights available to ADSs holders in the United States
unless we register the rights and the securities to which the rights relate under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration
requirements is available. In addition, the deposit agreement provides that the depositary will not make rights available to ADSs holders
unless the distribution to ADS holders of both the rights and any related securities are either registered under the Securities Act or
exempted from registration under the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such
rights or securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we may not be able to establish
an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, ADS holders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings
and may experience dilution in their holdings. In addition, if the depositary is unable to sell rights that are not exercised or not distributed,
or if the sale is not lawful or reasonably practicable, it will allow the rights to lapse, in which case ADSs holders will receive no
value for these rights.
ADSs holders may be subject to limitations
on transfer of their ADSs.
ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary.
However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems necessary in connection with the performance
of its duties. The depositary may close its books from time to time for a number of reasons, including in connection with corporate events
such as a rights offering, during which time the depositary needs to maintain an exact number of ADS holders on its books for a specified
period. The depositary may also close its books in emergencies, and on weekends and public holidays. In addition, the depositary may refuse
to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time
if we or the depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under
any provision of the deposit agreement.
40
ADSs holders might not receive distributions
on our equity shares, or any value for them at all, if it is unlawful or impracticable for us to make them available to such holders.
The depositary of the ADSs has agreed to pay ADSs
holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian for the ADSs receives on our Class A Ordinary Shares or other deposited
securities after deducting its fees and expenses in accordance with the deposit agreement. ADSs holders will receive these distributions
in proportion to the number of the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares that their ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not responsible
if it is unlawful or impracticable to make a distribution available to any ADSs holders. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution
to a ADSs holder if it consists of securities that require registration under the Securities Act but such securities are not properly
registered or distributed pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. The depositary is not responsible for making a distribution
available to any ADSs holders if any government approval or registration is required for such distribution. We have no obligation to take
any other action to permit the distribution of our ADSs, equity shares, rights or anything else to ADSs holders. This means that holders
of our ADSs might not receive the distributions that we make on our Class A Ordinary Shares or any value for them at all if it is unlawful
or impracticable for us to make them available to ADS holders.
The Warrants are speculative in nature and
holders of our Warrants will not have any rights of common shareholders until such Warrants are exercised.
The Warrants do not confer any rights of common
share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire
common shares at a fixed price.
Your right to participate in any future
rights offerings may be limited, which may cause dilution to your holdings.
We may from time to time distribute rights to
our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we cannot make rights available to you in the United States unless
we register the rights and the securities to which the rights relate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act,
or an exemption from the registration requirements is available. Also, under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not make rights
available to you unless the distribution to ADS holders of both the rights and any related securities are either registered under the
Securities Act, or exempt from registration under the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with
respect to any such rights or securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we
may not be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, sell
such undistributed rights to third parties in this situation. Accordingly, you may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and
may experience dilution in your holdings.
We may or may not pay cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the
future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, applicable law, regulations, restrictions,
our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, our future projects and plans and other factors
that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends depends significantly on the extent to which
we receive dividends from Lion and there can be no assurance that Lion will pay dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any,
of our ADSs will be an investor's sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
41
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company
and, because judicial precedent regarding the rights of shareholders is different under Cayman Islands law than under U.S. law, you could
have less protection of your shareholder rights than you would under U.S. law.
Our corporate affairs is governed by our Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders
to take action against the directors, actions by non-controlling shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us
law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from
comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding,
authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. Your rights as a shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman
Islands law are different from under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the
Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws from the United States and may provide significantly less protection to investors.
We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal
counsel, Ogier, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of
the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State and
(ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.
Subject to the foregoing, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States,
the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without
retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation
to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman
Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive, given by a court of competent jurisdiction (The courts of the Cayman Islands will
apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction),
and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable
on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and/or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public
policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands
Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
It may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments
against us.
Currently, one director is based in mainland China,
and all or a substantial portion of their respective assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult
for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for U.S. investors
to enforce within the United States judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States
or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts in China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S.
courts obtained against these directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United
States or any state thereof. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against these directors and officers. We have been
advised by our PRC legal counsel, JunHe LLP, according to its interpretation of the currently in-effect PRC laws and regulations, that
it is uncertain (i) whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce judgment rendered by a court in the United States based upon the
civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws; and (ii) whether an investor will be able to bring an original action in a
PRC court based on U.S. federal securities laws. As such, you may not be able to or may experience difficulties or incur additional costs
in order to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws in mainland
China or bring original actions in mainland China based on U.S. federal securities laws.
Currently, four of the directors are based in
Hong Kong. A judgment of a court in the United States predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Hong Kong
at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder, and then seeking summary judgment
on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is (1) for a debt or a definite sum of
money (not being taxes or similar charges to a foreign government taxing authority or a fine or other penalty) and (2) final and conclusive
on the merits of the claim, but not otherwise. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained
by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (c) its enforcement or recognition would
be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong; (d) the court of the United States was not jurisdictionally competent; or (e) the judgment
was in conflict with a prior Hong Kong judgment.
Hong Kong has no arrangement for the reciprocal
enforcement of judgments with the United States. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Hong Kong, in original
actions or in actions for enforcement, of judgments of United States courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities
laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States. As a result of all the above, public
shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of
directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.
42
Provisions in our Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future
for our securities and could entrench management.
Our currently effective Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that our shareholders may consider to
be in their best interests. Among other provisions, the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred shares with preferences and
voting rights determined by the board without shareholder approval may make it more difficult for our shareholders to remove incumbent
management and accordingly discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for
our securities.
Moreover, our board of directors is divided into
two classes, namely Class I and Class II. Class I consist of four directors, and Class II consist of four directors. Directors assigned
to Class I shall initially serve until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness of our Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or the Articles Effectiveness Date. Directors assigned to Class II shall initially serve
until the second annual general meeting of shareholders following the Articles Effectiveness Date. In 2021, we re-elected Class I directors.
Furthermore, our ordinary shares consist of Class A
Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. In respect of matters requiring the votes of shareholders, holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares will be entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one hundred votes per
share. Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof, while Class A
Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. Upon any sale of Class B Ordinary
Shares by a holder thereof to any person other than an affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary Shares shall be automatically
and immediately converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares. Due to the disparate voting powers associated with our
dual-class share structure, as of the date of this annual report, the Class B Ordinary Shares constitute 20.89% of our total issued
and outstanding share capital, and 86.84% of the aggregate voting power of and total issued and outstanding share capital.
Other anti-takeover provisions in our Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association include the indemnification of our officers and directors, the requirement that directors
may only be removed from our board of directors for cause and the requirement for a special resolution to amend provisions therein that
affect shareholder rights. These provisions could also make it difficult for our shareholders to take certain actions and limit the price
investors might be willing to pay for our securities.
As a "foreign private issuer"
under the rules and regulations of the SEC, we are permitted to, and will, file less or different information with the SEC than a company
incorporated in the United States or otherwise subject to these rules, and will follow certain home-country corporate governance
practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements applicable to U.S. issuers.
As a "foreign private issuer" under
the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure
and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports
and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same time frames as U.S. companies with securities registered under
the Exchange Act. We are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material
information to shareholders. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing
profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases
and sales of our securities.
In addition, as a "foreign private issuer",
we are permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements. A foreign private
issuer must disclose in its Annual Reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply followed by a description
of its applicable home country practice. We currently intend to follow some, but not all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
With respect to the corporate governance requirements we do follow, we cannot make any assurances that we will continue to follow such
corporate governance requirements in the future, and may therefore in the future, rely on available Nasdaq exemptions that would allow
us to follow our home country practice. Unlike the requirements of Nasdaq, we are not required to, under the corporate governance practice
and requirements in the Cayman Islands, have our board consisting of a majority of independent directors, nor are we required to have
a compensation committee or a nomination or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, or have regularly
executive sessions with only independent directors each year. Such Cayman Islands home country practices may afford less protection to
holders of our securities. For additional information regarding the home country practices we follow in lieu of Nasdaq requirements, see
"
Corporate Governance Practices
".
43
We will lose our status as a "foreign private
issuer" under current SEC rules and regulations if more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities become directly or indirectly
held of record by U.S. holders and one of the following is true: (i) the majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S.
citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered
principally in the United States. If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer in the future, we will no longer be exempt from
the rules described above and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and annual and quarterly financial statements
as if we were a company incorporated in the United States. If this were to happen, we would likely incur substantial costs in fulfilling
these additional regulatory requirements and our management would likely have to divert time and resources from other responsibilities
to ensuring these additional regulatory requirements are fulfilled.
We are an "emerging growth company,"
and any decision to comply with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our securities
less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company,"
as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). We expect to remain an "emerging growth
company" until December 31, 2024. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to comply with, among other things, the auditor
attestation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Further, the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply
with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt-out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt-out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt-out of such
extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or
private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, may not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private companies are required
to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible
because of the potential differences in accountant standards used. Investors may find our securities less attractive because we rely on
these provisions. If investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities
and prices of the securities may be more volatile.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of
internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result,
stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of
our securities.
Effective internal controls over financial reporting
are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed
to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could
cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over
financial reporting that may require prospective or retroactive changes in our financial statements or identify other areas for further
attention or improvement. In addition, for as long as we are an "emerging growth company," our independent registered public
accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls could detect problems that our
management's assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal controls could lead to restatements of our financial
statements and require us to incur the expense of remediation. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence
in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
("PCAOB") inspection of our independent accounting firm could lead to findings in our auditors' reports and challenge
the accuracy of our published audited consolidated financial statements.
Auditors of U.S. public companies are required
by law to undergo periodic PCAOB inspections that assess their compliance with U.S. law and professional standards in connection with
performance of audits of financial statements filed with the SEC. These PCAOB inspections could result in findings in our auditors'
quality control procedures, question the validity of the auditor's reports on our published consolidated financial statements and
cast doubt upon the accuracy of our published audited financial statements.

We are a "controlled company"
within the meaning of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing rules and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance
requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.
As of the date of this annual report, Jian Wang,
our chairman of the board and Chunning Wang, our chief executive officer collectively hold approximately 86.91% of our voting power total
issued and outstanding share capital. As a result, we are considered as a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC listing rules. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual,
group, or another company is a "controlled company" and will be permitted to elect to not comply with certain corporate governance
requirements, including the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, the requirement that
the nominating and corporate governance committee is composed entirely of independent directors, and the requirement that the compensation
committee is composed entirely of independent directors. We currently do not intend to rely on exemptions available to us.
Our controlling shareholders have substantial
influence over and our interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.
As
of December 31, 2022, Jian Wang, our chairman of the board and Chunning Wang, our chief executive officer collectively hold a total
of 9,843,096 Class B Ordinary Shares and a total of 200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing approximately more than 83%
of our voting power total issued and outstanding share capital. Jian Wang and Chunning Wang have substantial influence over our
business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of
directors, declaration of dividends and other significant corporate actions. As the controlling shareholders, Jian Wang and Chunning
Wang may take actions that are not in the best interests of our other shareholders. These actions may be taken in many cases even if
they are opposed by our other shareholders. In addition, this concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change
in control which could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your securities as part of a sale of our
company.
Our ADSs and warrants may be delisted or
prohibited from being traded "over-the-counter" under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (as amended by the Accelerating
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act) if the PCAOB were unable to fully inspect the company's auditor.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,
or the HFCA Act, was enacted into U.S. law on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that a company
has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years
beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit its securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading
market in the U.S. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect
or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) China, and (ii) Hong Kong.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments
implementing congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCA Act. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer's securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted,
which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer's securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things,
an identical provision to AHFCA Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. Whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor's, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in
mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well
as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately
to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed, without having to wait another year to reassess its determinations.
In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations
located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the determination so that
we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result
in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national
exchange and trading on "over-the-counter" markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.
45
The management of Company believes that this determination
does not impact the Company, as the auditor of the Company, UHY LLP, (i) is headquartered in New York, U.S., (ii) is an independent
registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB, and (iii) has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. Nonetheless, there
can be no assurance that future changes in laws or regulations will not impact the Company, UHY LLP or any future auditor of the Company. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that UHY LLP will be able to meet the requirements of the HFCA Act and that the Company will not suffer the
resulting material and adverse impact on its stock performance, as a company listed in the United States.
Lack of access to PCAOB inspections prevents the
PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong.
As a result, investors in companies using such auditors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. On August 26,
2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and
investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select
any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. However, uncertainties
still exist whether this new framework will be fully complied with. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure
complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022,
and the PCAOB board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public
accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily
conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty
and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor's, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in
mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well
as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately
to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed.
UHY LLP is not included in the list of determinations
announced by the PCAOB on December 21, 2021 in their HFCA Act Determination Report under PCAOB Rule 6100. If notwithstanding
this new framework, the PCAOB was unable to fully inspect UHY LLP (or any other auditor of the Company) in the future, or if PRC or American
authorities further regulate auditing work of Chinese or Hong Kong companies listed on the U.S. stock exchanges in a manner
that would restrict UHY LLP (or any future auditor of the Company) from performing work in Hong Kong, the Company may be required
to change its auditor. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the SEC, Nasdaq, or other regulatory authorities would not apply additional
and more stringent criteria to the Company in connection with audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and
training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of the Company's financial statements.
The failure to comply with the requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the AHFCA Act, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer's
public accounting firm within two years, would subject us to consequences including the delisting of our Company in the future if
the PCAOB is unable to inspect the Company's accounting firm (whether UHY LLP or another firm) at such future time.

Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Mining
Operations and NFT Business
Our business, especially the NFT business,
is subject to an extensive and highly-evolving regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws
and regulations could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our business, especially the NFT business, is
subject to extensive laws, rules, regulations, policies, orders, determinations, directives, treaties, and legal and regulatory interpretations
and guidance in the markets in which we operate, including those governing financial services, crypto asset custody, exchange, and transfer,
cross-border money and crypto asset transmission, foreign currency exchange, cybersecurity, fraud detection, and competition, bankruptcy,
tax, anti-bribery, economic and trade sanctions, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing. Many of these legal
and regulatory regimes were adopted prior to the advent of the internet, mobile technologies, crypto assets, and related technologies.
As a result, some applicable laws and regulations do not contemplate or address unique issues associated with the cryptoeconomy, are subject
to significant uncertainty, and vary widely across local and international jurisdictions. These legal and regulatory regimes, including
the laws, rules, and regulations thereunder, evolve frequently and may be modified, interpreted, and applied in an inconsistent manner
from one jurisdiction to another. Moreover, the complexity and evolving nature of our business and the significant uncertainty surrounding
the regulation of the cryptoeconomy requires us to exercise our judgment as to whether certain laws, rules, and regulations apply to us,
and it is possible that governmental bodies and regulators may disagree with our conclusions. To the extent we have not complied with
such laws, rules, and regulations, we could be subject to significant fines, revocation of licenses, limitations on our products and services,
reputational harm, and other regulatory consequences, each of which may be significant and could adversely affect our business, operating
results, and financial condition.
In addition to existing laws and regulations,
various governmental and regulatory bodies, including legislative and executive bodies, in the United States and in other countries may
adopt new laws and regulations. Furthermore, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may be issued by such bodies or the
judiciary, which may adversely impact the development of the cryptoeconomy as a whole and our legal and regulatory status in particular
by changing how we operate our business, how our products and services are regulated, and what products or services we and our competitors
can offer, requiring changes to our compliance and risk mitigation measures, imposing new licensing requirements, or imposing a total
ban on certain crypto asset transactions, as has occurred in certain jurisdictions in the past. Many regulations are substantial uncertainties
on how these requirements would apply in practice, and we may face substantial costs to operationalize and comply with these rules. We
may be further subject to administrative sanctions for technical violations or customer attrition if the user experience suffers as a
result.
Because we have offered and may continue to offer
a variety of innovative products and services to our customers, our offerings are subject to significant regulatory uncertainty and we
from time to time face regulatory inquiries regarding our current and planned products. To the extent that we or our employees, contractors,
or agents are deemed or alleged to have violated or failed to comply with any laws or regulations, including related interpretations,
orders, determinations, directives, or guidance, we or they could be subject to a litany of civil, criminal, and administrative fines,
penalties, orders and actions, including being required to suspend or terminate the offering of certain products and services.
We may face several risks due to disruptions
in the crypto asset markets, including but not limited to the risk from depreciation in our stock price, loss of customer demand, financing
risk, risk of increased losses or impairments in our investments or other assets, risks of legal proceedings and government investigations,
and risks from price declines or price volatility of crypto assets.
In the first half of 2022, some of the well-known
crypto asset market participants, including Celsius Network, Voyager Digital Ltd., and Three Arrows Capital, declared bankruptcy, resulting
in a loss of confidence in participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly.
In November 2022, FTX, the third largest digital asset exchange by volume at the time, halted customer withdrawals and shortly thereafter,
FTX and its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy.
47
In response to these
events, the digital asset markets, including the market for Bitcoin specifically, have experienced extreme price volatility and several
other entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected, further undermining confidence in
the digital assets markets and in Bitcoin. These events have also negatively impacted the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain
entities affiliated with FTX engaged in significant trading activity. If the liquidity of the digital assets markets continues to be negatively
impacted by these events, digital asset prices (including the price of Bitcoin) may continue to experience significant volatility and
confidence in the digital asset markets may be further undermined. These events are continuing to develop and it is not possible to predict
at this time all of the risks that they may pose to us, our service providers or on the digital asset industry as a whole.
We had no direct exposure
to FTX or any of the above-mentioned cryptocurrency companies. We will not have material assets that may not be recovered
or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated due to the bankruptcies. However, the failure or insolvency of large exchanges like FTX may
cause the price of crypto assets to fall and decrease confidence in the ecosystem, which could adversely affect an investment in us. Such
volatility and decrease in the price of crypto assets have limited adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition
because our operations and business in the NFT platform is limited. We will continue adjusting our short-term strategy to optimize our
operating efficiency in the current dynamic market conditions.
We cannot assure that
the price of crypto assets will remain high enough to sustain our operation or that the price of crypto assets will not decline significantly
in the future. Fluctuations in the price of crypto assets have had and are expected to continue to have an immediate impact on the trading
price of our American Depositary Shares even before our financial performance is affected, if at all. To the extent investors view our
American Depositary Shares as linked to the value of our NFT operations or crypto assets, the decline of crypto assets value may have
a material adverse effect on the market value of our ordinary shares.
In addition, a perceived
lack of stability in the digital asset exchange market and the closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset exchanges due to business
failure, hackers or malware, government-mandated regulation, or fraud, may reduce confidence in digital asset networks and result in greater
volatility in cryptocurrency values. These potential consequences of a digital asset exchange's failure could adversely affect an
investment in us or the loss of customer demand for our products and services with respect to our NFT business.
As of the date of this annual report, we are not
subject to any legal proceedings or government investigations in the United States or in other jurisdictions. However, in the past, following
periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been brought against
that company. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type may be expensive to defend and
may divert our management's attention and resources from the operation of our business.
The recent disruption
in the crypto asset markets may harm our reputation.
To the extent our counterparties/suppliers view
our business as linked to our NFT business, they may lose confidence in enter into business with us and may deem our business to be risky.
It may be difficult for us to reach the same business terms with such counterparties/suppliers like we did before. For example, our suppliers
may require more deposits or advance payments from us.
In addition, additional regulations may subject
us to investigation, administrative or regulatory proceedings, and civil or criminal litigations, all of which could harm our reputation
and affect our business operation and the value of our ordinary shares. If we have difficulties to comply with such additional regulatory
and registration requirements, we may have to cease certain or all of our operations. As of the date of this annual report, there is no
material impact on our operations or financial conditions associated with any reputational harm that we may face in light of the recent
disruption in the crypto asset markets. However, there is no guarantee that there will not be any material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations associated with the reputational harm that we may face in light of the recent disruption
in the crypto asset markets.
We and our third-party service providers,
including mining pool service providers, may fail to adequately secure or maintain the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the
data we hold or detect any related threats, which could disrupt our normal business operations and our financial performance and adversely
affect our business.
Our business operations and reputation depend
on our ability to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, digital assets and systems related to our business,
customers, proprietary technologies, processes and intellectual property. We and our business and commercial partners, such as mining
pools, digital asset exchanges and other third parties with which we interact, rely extensively on third-party service providers'
information technology ("IT") systems, including renewable energy infrastructure, cloud-based systems and on-premises servers
(i.e. data centers), to record and process transactions and manage our operations, among other matters.
48
We and our third-party service providers,
partners and collaborators, may in the future experience failures of, or disruptions to, IT systems and may be subject to attempted and
successful security breaches or data security incidents. Security breaches or data security incidents experienced by us or our third-party service
providers, manufacturers, joint collaborators, or other business or commercial partners, can vary in scope and intent from economically-driven attacks
to malicious attacks targeting our key operating systems with the intent to disrupt, disable or otherwise cripple our operations and service
offerings. This can include any combination of phishing attacks, malware, ransomware attacks, insider threats or viruses targeted at our
key systems and IT systems as well as those of our third-party service providers. In addition, certain types of attacks could harm
us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable, sometimes for
extended periods of time, or until launched against a target, and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures. Unauthorized
parties may attempt to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our partners and third-party service providers,
through various means. A successful security breach or security incident may target us directly, or indirectly target or impact us through
our third-party service providers, manufacturers, joint collaborators, or other business or commercial partners. A security breach
or other security incident at a third-party service provider's location or ours, or within a third-party service provider's
systems or ours, could affect our control over personal or confidential information or negatively impact our operations and ability to
earn revenue.
The inadvertent disclosure of or unauthorized
access to IT systems, networks and data, including personal information, confidential information and proprietary information, may adversely
affect our business or our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions. In addition, undiscovered
vulnerabilities in our products, equipment or services could expose us to hackers or other unscrupulous third parties who develop and
deploy viruses and other malicious software programs that could attack our products, equipment services and business. In the case of such
a security breach, security incident or other IT failure, we may suffer damage to our key systems and experience (i) interruption
in our services, (ii) loss of ability to control or operate our equipment; (iii) misappropriation of personal data and (iv) loss of critical
data that could interrupt our operations, which may adversely impact our reputation and brand and expose us to increased risks of governmental
and regulatory investigation and enforcement actions, private litigation and other liability, any of which could adversely affect our
business. A security breach may also trigger mandatory data breach notification obligations under applicable privacy and data protection
laws, which, if applicable, could lead to widespread negative publicity and a loss in confidence regarding the effectiveness of our data
security measures. Furthermore, mitigating the risk of future attacks or IT systems failures have resulted, and could in the future result,
in additional operating and capital costs in systems technology, personnel, monitoring and other investments. In addition, insurers are
currently reluctant to provide cybersecurity insurance for digital assets and cryptocurrency assets and we do not currently hold cybersecurity
insurance, therefore, in the event of any such actual or potential incidents, our costs and resources devoted and any impacted assets
may not be partially or fully recoverable. Most of our sensitive and valuable data, including digital assets, are stored with third-party custodians
and service providers. Therefore, we rely on the digital asset community to optimize and protect sensitive and valuable data, confidential
information and identify vulnerabilities. There can be no guarantee that these measures and the work of the digital asset developer community
will identify all vulnerabilities, errors and defects, or will identify and resolve all vulnerabilities, errors and defects, prior to
a malicious actor being able to utilize them. Any actual or perceived data security breach at any of those third-party custodians
and service providers could lead to theft or irretrievable loss of our fiat currencies or digital assets, which may or may not be covered
by insurance maintained by us or our third-party custodians or service providers.
We may be subject to material litigation,
including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities.
We may from time to time become subject to claims,
arbitrations, individual and class action lawsuits, government and regulatory investigations, inquiries, actions or requests, and other
proceedings alleging violations of laws, rules and regulations, both foreign and domestic. The scope, determination and impact of claims,
lawsuits, government and regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, disputes and proceedings to which we are subject cannot be predicted
with certainty, and may result in:
●
substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines or penalties;
●
substantial outside counsel legal fees and costs;
●
additional compliance and licensure requirements;
●
loss or non-renewal of existing licenses or authorizations,
or prohibition from or delays in obtaining additional licenses or authorizations, required for our business;
●
loss of productivity and high demands on employee time;
49
●
criminal sanctions or consent decrees;
●
termination of certain employees, including members of our
executive team;
●
barring of certain employees from participating in our business
in whole or in part;
●
orders that restrict or suspend our business or prevent us
from offering certain products or services;
●
changes to our business model and practices;
●
delays and/or interruptions to planned transactions, product
launches or improvements; and
●
damage to our brand and reputation.
Any such matters can have an adverse impact, which
may be material, on our business, operating results or financial condition because of legal costs, diversion of management resources,
reputational damage and other factors.
The nature of our business requires the
application of complex financial accounting rules, and there is limited guidance from accounting standard setting bodies. If financial
accounting standards undergo significant changes, our operating results could be adversely affected.
The accounting rules and regulations that we must
comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, the SEC, and various bodies
formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant
effect on our reported financial results, and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement or effectiveness
of a change. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal
controls. In addition, many companies' accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public.
Further, there has been limited precedents for the financial accounting of cryptocurrencies and related valuation and revenue recognition,
and no official guidance has been provided by the FASB or the SEC. As such, there remains significant uncertainty on how companies can
account for cryptocurrencies transactions, cryptocurrencies and related revenue. Uncertainties in or changes to regulatory or financial
accounting standards could result in the need to change our accounting methods and restate our financial statements and impair our ability
to provide timely and accurate financial information, which could adversely affect our financial statements, result in a loss of investor
confidence, and more generally impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
50
Digital asset trading platforms may be subject
to varying levels of regulation, which exposes our digital asset holdings to risks.
While certain digital assets may be traded through
one or more exchanges or trading platforms of varying quality, digital assets as a class do not have a central marketplace for exchange.
Digital asset platforms on which digital assets may trade pose special risks, as these platforms are generally new and the rules governing
their activities are unsettled and their activities may be largely unregulated or under-regulated, and may therefore be more exposed to
theft, fraud, and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products. Digital asset platforms may be start-up businesses
with limited institutional backing, limited operating history, and no publicly available financial information.
Digital assets traded on a blockchain do not rely
on a trusted intermediary or depository institution. The participation in trading platforms requires users to take on credit risk by transferring
digital assets from a personal account to a third party's account. Accordingly, we are exposed to credit risk with respect to our
counterparties in each transaction, including transactions directly with a counterparty sourced through an exchange or over the counter
trading desk, as well as transactions directly with such an exchange. Digital asset exchanges may impose daily, weekly, monthly, or customer-specific transaction
or distribution limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of digital assets for fiat currency difficult or impossible.
Additionally, digital asset prices and valuations on exchanges have been volatile and subject to influence by many factors, including
the levels of liquidity on particular platforms and operational interruptions and disruptions. The prices and valuation of digital assets
remain subject to any volatility experienced by trading platforms, and any such volatility can adversely affect our digital asset holdings
and the value of the digital assets we mine. It is possible that while engaging in transactions with various digital asset platforms located
throughout the world, any such platform may cease operations voluntarily or involuntarily due to theft, fraud, security breach, liquidity
issues, or government investigation without any recourse available to us.
Digital asset platforms are appealing targets
for cybercrime, hackers, and malware and have been shut down or experienced losses of assets placed on the exchange as a result of cybercrime,
and any such event is likely to result in the complete loss of assets placed on such a platform. Any governmental or regulatory action
against such a digital asset trading platform may cause assets on such exchange to become frozen for a substantial period of time or forfeited,
and could result in material opportunity costs or even in the total loss of such assets. In addition, banks may refuse to process or support
wire transfers to or from digital asset trading platforms.
There are a limited number of digital asset trading
platforms in operation, and many operate in jurisdictions outside of the United States. Trading on digital asset platforms outside of
the United States may involve certain risks not applicable to trading on digital asset exchanges that operate in the United States. Foreign
markets may be subject to instability, temporary closures due to fraud, business failure, local capital requirements or government-mandated regulations.
Digital asset platforms located outside the United States may not be subject to regulatory, investigative, or prosecutorial authority
through which an action or complaint regarding missing or stolen digital assets may be brought. Additionally, due to lack of globally
consistent treatment and regulation of digital assets, certain platforms located outside the United States may not be currently available
to, or may in the future become unavailable to, certain persons or entities based on their country of domicile, including the United States.
While we perform diligence on our counterparties and any digital asset trading platforms that we may use, it may be difficult, or even
impossible, to sufficiently verify the ultimate ownership and control of a digital asset trading platform and other information for evaluating
the risks associated with such counterparty or platform. Any of our digital assets that reside on a trading platform that shuts down may
be permanently unrecoverable, misapplied or otherwise lost. Additionally, to the extent that the digital asset platforms representing
a substantial portion of the trading volume in particular digital asset are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other
operational issues, such failures may result in loss or less favorable prices of the digital assets and may adversely affect our business
and our operations.
We may face risks of internet disruptions,
which could have an adverse effect on both the price of digital assets and our ability to operate our business, including Lion NFT platform.
Digital asset networks, and our business of mining
cryptocurrencies and operations of our Lion NFT platform, are dependent upon the internet. A significant disruption in internet connectivity
could disrupt a digital asset network's operations until the disruption is resolved and have an adverse effect on the price of cryptocurrencies
and our ability to mine cryptocurrencies. A broadly accepted and widely adopted decentralized network is necessary for most digital assets
networks to function as intended. Features of digital asset networks, such as decentralization, open source protocol, and reliance on
peer-to-peer connectivity, are essential to preserve the stability of the network and decrease the risk of fraud or cyber-attacks.
A disruption of the internet or a digital asset network would affect the ability to transfer digital assets, and consequently, their value,
as well as our ability to mine digital assets. A significant disruption of internet connectivity (e.g., affecting large numbers of users
or geographic regions) could prevent a digital asset network's functionality and operations until the internet disruption is resolved.
A disruption of the internet may affect the functioning of digital asset networks and the use of digital assets.
51
Risks due to hacking or adverse software
event.
In order to minimize risk, we have established
processes to manage wallets that are associated with our Bitcoin holdings. There can be no assurances that any processes we have adopted
or will adopt in the future are or will be secure or effective, and we would suffer significant and immediate adverse effects if we suffered
a loss of our Bitcoin due to an adverse software or cybersecurity event. We utilize several layers of threat reduction techniques, including:
(i) the use of hardware wallets to store sensitive private key information; (ii) performance of transactions offline; and (iii) offline
generation storage and use of private keys.
Human error and the constantly evolving state
of cybercrime and hacking techniques may render present security protocols and procedures ineffective in ways which we cannot predict.
If our security procedures and protocols are ineffectual and our Bitcoin assets are compromised by cybercriminals, we may not have adequate
recourse to recover our losses stemming from such compromise and we may lose much of the accumulated value of our Bitcoin mining activities.
This would have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.
Our failure to safeguard and manage our
customers' fiat currencies and crypto assets could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We launched a non-fungible token ("NFT")
trading and community platform called the Lion NFT platform in the first quarter of 2022. As we expect to expand our product and service
offerings, we must continue to strengthen our associated internal controls and ensure that our service providers do the same. The success
of Lion NFT platform requires significant public confidence in our ability, or our service providers, if any, to properly manage customers'
balances and assets and handle large transaction volumes and amounts of customer funds. In addition, we may be dependent on our service
providers' operations, liquidity, and financial condition for the proper maintenance, use, and safekeeping of these customer assets.
Although the Lion NFT platform does not provide digital wallet services to its users, the Lion NFT platform allows its users to connect
and link their own digital wallets, such as Metamask, to the Lion NFT platform, therefore, any failure by our service providers to maintain
the necessary controls or to manage customers' crypto assets and funds appropriately and in compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements could result in reputational harm, significant financial losses, lead customers to discontinue or reduce their use of our
and our service providers' products, and result in significant penalties and fines and additional restrictions, which could adversely
impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. For NFTs held by users, we do not provide custody services either directly
or indirectly, and neither we have control of these digital assets nor do we have any related liability. They are off-balance sheet in
our financial statements.
Our service providers, may deposit, transfer,
and custody customer's NFT in multiple jurisdictions. In each instance, the service providers are required to safeguard customers'
assets using high-level security standards applicable to service providers' hot and cold wallet and storage systems, as well
as our financial management systems. We believe our service providers have developed and maintained administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and industry standards.    However, it is nevertheless
possible that hackers, employees or service providers acting contrary to our policies, or others could circumvent these safeguards to
improperly access our systems or documents, or the systems or documents of our business partners, agents, or service providers, and improperly
access, obtain, misuse customers' crypto assets and funds. The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable, or degrade service
or sabotage systems are also constantly changing and evolving and may be difficult to anticipate or detect for long periods of time. Additionally,
transactions undertaken through our platform or other electronic channels may create risks of fraud, hacking, unauthorized access or acquisition,
and other deceptive practices. Any security incident resulting in a compromise of customer assets could result in substantial costs to
us and require us to notify impacted individuals, and in some cases regulators, of a possible or actual incident, expose us to regulatory
enforcement actions, including substantial fines, limit our ability to provide services, subject us to litigation, significant financial
losses, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
52
Risks associated with our NFT platform,
including the regulatory, legal, reputational, commercial, technical, marketing, operational, and other risks related to successfully
launching and profitably operating our NFT platform.
In January 2022, we announced the launch of our
NFT platform where collectors will be able to purchase MetaWords NFTs and resell the MetaWords NFTs. In the future, the creators on the
Lion NFT platform may be able to make blockchain-encrypted design items, such as artwork, available as NFTs for digital purchase through
the Lion NFT platform, utilizing BNB. NFTs are digital assets recorded on a blockchain ledger for verification of authenticity and ownership
of a unique digital asset, such as artwork. Given the increased scrutiny of digital assets as well as cryptocurrencies for regulatory
and anti-money laundering purposes, it is possible that the U.S. and other jurisdictions will engage in increased scrutiny and regulation
of NFTs and our business. While NFTs and cryptocurrencies are similar in that both are based on blockchain technology, unlike cryptocurrency
units, which are fungible, NFTs have unique identification codes and represent content on the blockchain. The record of ownership of the
NFT, which establishes authenticity and may also carry other rights, cannot be duplicated. As NFTs are a relatively new and emerging type
of digital asset, the regulatory, commercial, and legal framework governing NFTs is likely to evolve both in the United States and internationally
and implicates issues regarding a range of matters, including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights, privacy and cybersecurity,
fraud, anti-money laundering, sanctions, and currency, commodity, and securities law implications.
NFTs, and our NFT platform (including our facilitation
of transactions in BNB), may also be subject to regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") of the
U.S. Department of Treasury and the Bank Secrecy Act. The nature of many NFT transactions also involve circumstances which present higher
risks for potential violations, such as anonymity, subjective valuation, use of intermediaries, lack of transparency, and decentralization
associated with blockchain technology. However, we require our users to provide their identity cards to verify their identities and citizenship
at registration. In addition, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has stated that cryptocurrencies, with which NFTs have some similarities,
fall within the definition of "commodities." If NFTs were deemed to be a commodity, NFT transactions could be subject to prohibitions
on deceptive and manipulative trading or restrictions on manner of trading (e.g., on a registered derivatives exchange), depending on
how the transaction is conducted. Moreover, if NFTs were deemed to be a "security," it could raise federal and state securities
law implications, including exemption or registration requirements for marketplaces for NFT transactions, sellers of NFTs, and the NFT
transactions themselves, as well as liability issues, such as insider trading or material omissions or misstatements, among others. NFT
transactions may also be subject to laws governing virtual currency or money transmission. For example, New York has legislation regarding
the operation of virtual currency businesses. The Office of Foreign Assets Controls ("OFAC") has signaled that sanctions could
apply to digital transactions and has pursued enforcement actions involving cryptocurrencies and digital asset accounts. This could expose
us to future allegations of violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, including any applicable KYC and Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations
("AML"), or sanctions compliance obligations among others. In addition governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our
business that we believe are inapplicable, and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws which would
negatively impact our business. NFT transactions also raise issues regarding compliance with laws of foreign jurisdictions, many of which
present complex compliance issues and may conflict with one another.  Our launch and operation of our NFT platform (including our
facilitation of transactions in BNB, in connection therewith) expose us to the foregoing risks, among others, any of which could materially
and adversely affect the success of our NFT platform and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and
prospects. However, the Lion NFT platform establishes a IP blacklist to block the users from U.S. sanctioned countries and the U.S. and
does not allow U.S. citizens or residents to open an account with us.
As the market for NFTs is relatively nascent,
it is difficult to predict how the legal and regulatory framework around NFTs will develop and how such developments will impact our business
and our NFT platform. Further, market acceptance of NFTs is uncertain as buyers may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with digital assets
generally, how to transact in digital assets, or how to assess the value of NFTs. The launch of our NFT platform also subjects us to risks
similar to those associated with any new platform offering, including, but not limited to, our ability to accurately anticipate market
demand and acceptance, our ability to successfully launch our new NFT platform offering, creator and buyer acceptance, technical issues
with the operation of our new NFT platform, and legal and regulatory risks as discussed above. We believe these risks may be heightened
with respect to our NFT platform, as NFTs are still considered a relatively novel concept. If we fail to accurately anticipate or manage
the risks associated with our NFT platform or with our facilitation of cryptocurrency transactions, or if we directly or indirectly become
subject to disputes, liability, or other legal or regulatory issues in connection with our NFT platform or cryptocurrency transactions,
our NFT platform may not be successful and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects could be
materially harmed.
53
A particular crypto asset's status
as a "security" in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a certain degree of uncertainty and if we are unable to properly
characterize a crypto asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may
adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Given the complexity of the crypto assets in the
market, if we are unable to properly characterize a crypto asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and inquiries. It is possible
that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the
SEC and its staff. Public statements by senior officials at the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin
or Ethereum are securities (in their current form). Despite the conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the
likelihood of a particular crypto asset, all other crypto assets may be considered a 'security' under applicable laws.
Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based approach
to classifying crypto assets as "securities," while other foreign jurisdictions have adopted a narrower approach. As a result,
certain crypto assets may be deemed to be a "security" under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various foreign
jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of crypto assets
as "securities."
The classification of a crypto asset as a security
under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer, sale, trading, and clearing
of such assets. For example, a crypto asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United
States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons
that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a "broker"
or "dealer." Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are securities in the United
States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption. Persons facilitating
clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have
similar licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.
We have procedures to analyze whether crypto assets
that we seek to facilitate trading on our platform could be deemed to be a "security" under applicable laws. Before we expanded
our business into the NFT business, the management determined not to initiate any initial coin offering which is likely to be deemed as
securities offering. The management also decided not to offer its NFTs to any U.S. persons and therefore, the company has established
its KYC procedures and IP blacklist to avoid selling any NFTs to U.S. persons. Our policies and procedures do not constitute a legal standard,
but rather represent a framework for our analysis, which permits us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that
a particular crypto asset could be deemed a "security" under applicable laws. Regardless of our conclusions, we could be subject
to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a supported
crypto asset currently offered, sold, or traded on our platform is a "security" under applicable laws. Because our NFTs issued
on our Lion NFT platform were not registered with the SEC, we only permit trading on our core platform of those crypto assets for which
we determine there are reasonably sound arguments to conclude that the crypto asset is not a security. We believe that our process reflects
a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis and is reasonably designed to facilitate consistent application of available legal guidance to
crypto assets to facilitate informed risk-based business judgment. However, we recognize that the application of securities laws
to the specific facts and circumstances of crypto assets may be complex and subject to change, and that a listing determination does not
guarantee any conclusion under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect our risk assessment policies and procedures to continuously
evolve to take into account case law, facts, and developments in technology.
There can be no assurances that we will properly
characterize any given crypto asset as a security or non-security for purposes of determining whether our platform will support trading
of the crypto asset, or that the SEC, foreign regulatory authority, or a court, if the question was presented to it, would agree with
our assessment. If the SEC, state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a supported crypto asset currently
offered, sold, or traded on our platform is a security, we would not be able to offer such crypto asset for trading until we are able
to do so in a compliant manner. A determination by the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an asset that we
currently support for trading on our Lion NFT platform constitutes a security may also result in us determining that it is advisable to
remove assets from our Lion NFT platform that have similar characteristics to the asset that was determined to be a security. In addition,
we could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the crypto asset in compliance with the registration
requirements, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and
desist orders, as well as civil monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that
traded such supported crypto asset on our Lion NFT platform and suffered trading losses could also seek to rescind a transaction that
we facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject us to significant liability. We
may also be required to cease facilitating transactions in the supported crypto asset other than via our licensed subsidiaries, which
could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, if we remove any assets from trading on
our platform, our decision may be unpopular with users and may reduce our ability to attract and retain customers, especially if such
assets remain traded on unregulated exchanges, which includes many of our competitors.
54
The loss or destruction of any private keys
required to access our digital assets may be irreversible. If we or any of our custodians are unable to access our private keys (whether
due to a security incident or otherwise), it could cause direct financial loss, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational harm.
Digital assets are generally controllable only
by the possessor of the unique private key relating to the digital wallet in which the digital assets are held. While blockchain protocols
typically require public addresses to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order
to prevent a third party from accessing the digital assets held in such a wallet. To the extent that any of the private keys relating
to any cold wallets containing our digital assets is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised or unavailable, and no backup of the private
key is accessible, we will be unable to access the digital assets held in the related wallet and, in most cases, the private key will
not be capable of being restored. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access digital assets may be irreversible. Further,
we cannot provide assurance that any wallet holding our digital assets, either maintained directly by us or by a custodian on our behalf,
will not be hacked or compromised. Digital assets, related technologies, and digital asset service providers such as custodians and trading
platforms have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, hacking, or other malicious activities. As such, any loss
or misappropriation of the private keys used to control our digital assets due to a hack, employee or service provider misconduct or error,
or other compromise by third parties could result in significant losses, hurt our brand and reputation, and potentially the value of any
Bitcoin or other digital assets we mine or otherwise acquire or hold for our own account, and adversely impact our business.
Incorrect or fraudulent digital asset transactions
may be irreversible.
Digital asset transactions are not, from an administrative
perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the digital assets from the transaction. In theory,
digital asset transactions may be reversible with the control or consent of a majority of the processing power on the network, however,
we do not now, nor is it feasible that we could in the future, possess sufficient processing power to effect this reversal, nor is it
likely that sufficient consensus on the relevant network could or would be achieved to enable such a reversal. Once a transaction has
been verified and recorded in a block that is added to a blockchain, an incorrect transfer of digital assets or a theft thereof generally
will not be reversible, and we may not have sufficient recourse to recover our losses from any such transfer or theft. It is possible
that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our digital assets could be transferred in incorrect amounts
or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. In the past, hackers have successfully employed a social engineering attack
against one of our service providers and misappropriated our digital assets, although, to date, such events have not been material to
our financial condition or operating results. To the extent that we are unable to recover our losses from such action, error or theft,
such events could result in significant losses, hurt our brand and reputation, and adversely impact our business.
Our board of management have experience
in risk management and we have risk management policies in place in light of current crypto asset market conditions. However, if we are
not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes in our business environment or to accurately assess where we are positioned within
a business cycle and make adjustments to our risk management policies, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may
be materially and adversely affected.
Our board of management have experience in risk
management and our company have risk management policies in place covering financing, liquidity management, Bitcoin management, supplier
management and counter party management. Our board of management is evaluating the risk exposure regularly and adapting to the latest
trend of the industry. Specifically, in light of current crypto asset market conditions and to mitigate the effect of BNB price volatility,
our risk management policies focus on finding cost-effective hosting sites, raising funds with a low financing cost, and renegotiating
with existing site hosts to reduce cost.
However, the Bitcoin mining and NFT related industries
are emerging and evolving, which may lead to period-to-period variability and may make it difficult to evaluate our risk exposures. If
we are not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes in our business environment or to accurately assess where we are positioned
within a business cycle and make adjustments to our risk management policies, our business, financial condition, or results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Nasdaq Continued Listing Compliance
Our American Depositary Shares are subject
to listing if we fail to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by August 9, 2023. The delisting of our American Depositary
Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment, even making it worthless.
On February 10, 2023, the Company received a written
notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum
bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires
listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per American Depositary Share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)
provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive
business days.
55
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until August 9, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our ordinary shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum
of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period.
Our American Depositary Shares will continue to
be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to our compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital
Market. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that we
will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. The delisting
of our American Depositary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment,
even making it worthless.

B.
Business Overview
We are one of the few Chinese investor-focused
trading platforms that offer a wide spectrum of products and services. Currently, our business lines include (i) total return swap (TRS)
trading business, (ii) contracts for difference (CFD) trading services, (iii) futures and securities brokerage services, (iv) insurance
brokerage services, and (v) asset management service . We provide these services through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app and a variety
of other apps available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac platforms. Our clients are mostly well-educated and affluent Chinese investors residing
both inside and outside the PRC (excluding the United States), as well as institutional clients in Hong Kong that use our futures
trading service.
Our trading platform allows users to trade approximately
100 futures products on major futures exchanges worldwide (excluding the PRC), including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Singapore
Exchange (SGX), the Hong Kong Futures Exchange (HKFE) and Eurex Exchange (Eurex), as well as stocks listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq and Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE), and PRC stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen
Stock Exchange (SZSE) that are eligible for the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs
(together, "Stock Connect"). In addition, our customers may also use our platform to trade various financial products, such
as stock indices, commodities, futures, forex, ETFs, warrants and callable bull/bear contracts, on global exchanges or OTC markets.
Our financial performance increased significantly from 2020 to 2021,
as our revenue increased from US$10.2 million to US$25.0 million, respectively. We had a loss before income taxes of US$0.77 million in
2021 as compared to a loss before income taxes of US$2.6 million in 2020.
Our financial performance decreased significantly
from 2021 to 2022, as our revenue decreased significantly from US$25.0 million to a loss of US$2.5 million, respectively. We had a loss
before income taxes of US$34.0 million in 2022 as compared to a loss before income taxes of US$0.77 million in 2021.
Recent Development in NFT Business
In January 2022, we launched our NFT business
through Flying Lion Limited, including (i) issuance of MetaWords character NFTs and MetaWords work NFTs (collectively, the "MetaWords
NFTs"), and (ii) the establishment of our NFT trading platform, namely the Lion NFT platform (f/k/a/ Meta World). We created and
minted the MetaWords NFTs by converting Xu Bing's characters in his artwork
Book from the Ground
and sold MetaWords
NFTs to the NFT collectors. MetaWords characters serve as the basic units of the MetaWords language system. MetaWords works are excerpts
drawn from Mr. Xu's artwork
Book from the Ground
. The sales were conducted through an online auction and blind
boxes direct sell on the Lion NFT platform in January 2022. We sold in an aggregate of six MetaWords NFTs created by us by the auction
in the amount of 197 wrapped BNB, and 2,742 blind-boxes which includes MetaWords NFTs at 0.40 BNB per unit for a total amount of
749 BNB, net of the consideration paid to customers of 348 BNB in form of incentive credits. Total sales of character NFTs and blind boxes
were approximately $438,000 USD at the spot token price upon the completion of the sale. In addition, we launched a MetaWords NFT creation
tool, giving users the ability to create their own MetaWords NFTs. The profits generated from the Lion NFT platform will be retained by
Flying Lion Limited, a Cayman Islands company, one of our subsidiaries, as working capital. We conduct our NFT business through Flying
Lion Limited. We hold 70% equity interest in Flying Lion Limited through Lion NFT Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, in which
we hold 90% equity interest.
The users can resell the MetaWords NFTs to other
users on the Lion NFT platform, or MetaWords Resale. For the MetaWords Resale conducted on the Lion NFT platform, we charge 5% of the
purchase price as the authorization fee for Xu Bing's artwork; 5% of the purchase price as the licensing fee for the author; and
2.5% of the purchase price as the transaction fee. Lion is the author for MetaWords NFTs. The commissions are collected in the form of
BNB tokens when the users buy and sell MetaWords NFTs on the Lion NFT platform. As of the date of this prospectus, the fees abovementioned
we are entitled to such MetaWords Resale were de minimis and there were no other NFTs transactions on Lion NFT platform than MetaWords.
Although the Lion NFT platform does not provide
digital wallet services to its users, the Lion NFT platform allows its users to connect and link their own digital wallets, such as Metamask,
to the Lion NFT platform. For NFTs held by users, we do not provide custody services either directly or indirectly, and neither we have
control of these digital assets nor do we have any related liability. Therefore, we do not have policies and procedures that are in place
to prevent self-dealing and other potential conflicts of interest.
58
Recent Development on our Cryptocurrency Mining
We
commenced Bitcoin mining operations in China in late May 2021 and ceased our Bitcoin mining operations at the end of October 2021 as a
result of the hiked electricity cost as well as the change of the regulatory environment in the PRC. We operated a fleet of 5,000 Bitmain's
model S9 Hydro Antminers for the period. All the mined Bitcoins have been distributed by Antpool to our cold wallets. We stored the mined
Bitcoins in hardware wallets (or known as cold wallets), which were safeguarded in the safety boxes in our office. The keys and passwords
of the safety boxes are separately held by our different staffs. We held the mined Bitcoins and converted into USDT when it was commercially
justified. From May 2021 to October 2021, we mined approximately 37.884 Bitcoins, and we converted all of our mined Bitcoin at an average
price of USDT 45,567 per Bitcoin. As of December 31, 2021, we have liquidated all the USDT. As of December 31, 2022, we have no Bitcoin
and no USDT on our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2022, we fully impaired and disposed of the mining equipment in an amount of approximately
$1.7 million and recognized no revenue from cryptocurrency mining business since the end of October 2021. As of the date of this annual
report, we did not have Bitcoin mining operations and the cryptocurrency that we hold is immaterial to the value of our total assets.
Our Strengths
We believe that the following strengths contribute
to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:
We are well positioned in a fast-growing
trillion-dollar segment with substantial growth potential.
We are one of the few Chinese investor-focused trading platforms that
provide a wide spectrum of product and service offerings. We believe our fast-growing trillion-dollar segment has substantial growth potential
in the near term. The individual investable financial assets in China were US$21.4 trillion in 2019 and are expected to reach US$38.8
trillion in 2026, according to Purple Tee in April 2023. The percentage of financial assets allocated to overseas investment by high net
worth individuals Chinese citizens was 20% of their total financial assets in 2022, and Purple Tee projects that overseas investments
by 70% of the high net worth individuals Chinese citizens will increase by 2026. With our existing leadership in this segment, we are
well positioned to capture the opportunities arising from this growth.
We will be providing superior user experience
to our clients through our industry-leading Internet platform.
We provide services through an industry-leading
Internet platform accessible through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app and a variety of apps available on iOS, Android and PC platforms.
Our Lion Brokers app will allow users to remotely open accounts with our Cayman Islands licensed subsidiary and conveniently trade in
a wide variety of derivative products. Our Lion Brokers app is designed to be secure and easy to use and will provide a superior user
experience through fast and reliable order execution.
We offer a diversified product portfolio
for trading in global financial markets.
Our trading platform allows users to trade approximately
100 futures products on major futures exchanges worldwide (excluding the PRC), including the CME, SGX, HKFE and Eurex, as well as stocks
listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and PRC stocks listed on the SSE and SZSE that are eligible for Stock
Connect. In addition, our customers may also use our platform to trade various derivative products, such as forex, commodities, futures,
stock indices, ETFs, warrants and callable bull/bear contracts, on global exchanges or OTC markets.
We have an experienced management team supported
by industry talents.
Our management team is led by our founder and
chairman of the board, Mr. Jian Wang, who has more than 15 years of experience in trading futures, securities and derivatives and
dealing in interbank markets. Our core management team members have in aggregate more than 60 years of experience with conglomerates
in the financial sector and fintech startups. Our management team is supported by a strong and talented team of experts in the financial
and information technology industries. Our experienced management team and strong industry team enable us to drive innovation, improve
our operational efficiency and expand our client base.
Our Strategies
We plan to implement the following strategies:
Strengthen our leading position in key markets
and expand our demographic and geographic coverages in new markets.
We plan to strengthen our leading position in
key markets, such as Greater China, by retaining active users, reactivating dormant accounts, obtaining new customers and enhancing service
quality. We hope to increase our market share by penetrating into new geographic areas, such as Southeast Asia, though we currently have
no specific plans to enter any new markets. We further intend to expand our user base from predominantly overseas Chinese to other ethnic
groups through optimized digital marketing.
59
Enhance technological infrastructure and
cybersecurity.
We expect to continue investing heavily in research
and development to further improve our technology infrastructure and integrate different systems into our platform. Striving to provide
our users with the most user-friendly interface and smooth transaction experience, we plan to optimize our trading system, increase system
concurrent accesses, and enhance the system's reliability and security. We also plan to expand the scope of cooperation with worldwide
exchanges to provide our clients with more real-time, accurate and stable market quotation services. In addition, we plan to strengthen
our cooperation with Microsoft Azure, making full use of the Microsoft Cloud infrastructure and security services and improve our system
efficiency and cybersecurity.
Drive product innovation and explore other
complementary services.
We are offering A-share (shares that denominated
in Renminbi and traded in the SSE and SZSE) and Hong Kong stock basket linked TRS to our clients since early 2020. See "

we expect to develop new derivative products to meet their shifting demands. We may also explore other complementary services, including
CRM equipment and data services, overseas investment consulting services, deep financial technology development, digital asset management,
industry research services, and overseas mergers and acquisitions.
Attract and retain key talent.
We believe that our employees are essential to
our continued development. We strive to attract and retain talented individuals with management, financial and technological experience
to our company with competitive compensation packages.

Our Technology
." Our relevant subsidiaries possess a full
securities investment business license in the Cayman Islands as relevant to acting as a broker dealer and market maker and various types

Licenses
".
CFD Trading Services
We began our CFD trading services in May 2019.
Our trading platform allows users to trade various financial products, such as stock indices, commodities, futures, forex, ETFs, warrants
and callable bull/bear contracts, on global exchanges or OTC markets. Through our platform, users can buy and sell stock indices, including
the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Hang Seng Index, Nikkei 225 and Standard & Poor's 500, commodities, including gold, silver,
copper, soy beans and crude oil (Brent and WTI), and 33 currency pairs, including EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD and USD/CHF currency pairs.
Our Cayman Islands subsidiary, Lion Brokers Limited, holds the CIMA Full Securities Investment Business License, which allows us to act
as broker dealer and market maker in facilitating CFD trading in the Cayman Islands. All of our CFD trades are conducted on the platform
of Lion Brokers Limited within the scope granted by the CIMA Full Securities Investment Business License.
For example in a forex trade in the spot market,
a participant will simultaneously buy one currency and sell another, with the two currencies together referred to as a currency pair.
The investor is speculating that one currency will appreciate in relation to the counter currency in the currency pair, and it will make
a profit or suffer a loss depending on the difference between the exchange rates at which the investor opens and closes its position.
In response to a request for a quotation, market makers will quote the bid and ask prices simultaneously and the client will decide whether
to enter into a contract to buy (long) or sell (short) an asset at that price.
60
Our trading platform matches the client's
order request with the spot currency pairs offered by market makers. We do not normally intervene in the trade, other than to apply our
mark-up, which is based on market conditions and risk exposure regardless of how a trade is executed or the client's profitability.
This same process is used when a client liquidates a position. Our platform processes the trade by applying a uniform spread to the mid-price
calculated from the preferred data feed. Forex traders can also engage in customizable forward transactions or futures speculation prior
to the expiration of currency futures contracts. In addition, traders can amplify their profits or losses by leveraging their trades,
and we offer up to 100:1 leverage to certain of our clients. See
"Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and
Industry — We may incur material trading losses from our market making activities."
The diagram below illustrates the order execution
process for our CFD trading business:
We facilitate a client's CFD trading in
three different ways.
1.
If
the trade of a client can be used to naturally hedge against and offset the trades of another client, we will act as a market maker to
offer liquidity and pricing for both clients. This type of transactions allows us to generate predictable revenues from commissions (other
than forex transactions, for which we typically do not charge any commissions) without assuming any risks caused by market fluctuations.
Less than half of our CFD trades in 2022 were of this type. We expect to have more frequent naturally hedged trades in the future as
our user base grows and the number of transactions transacted over our platform increases.
2.
When
an offsetting transaction from another client is not available, we may choose to act as a principal (i.e. market maker) to trade with
the client. This type of transactions gives us the potential to generate significant revenues from trading profit if the market develops
in favor of our position. Although we would assume risks caused by market fluctuations, our risk management system constantly monitors
the market and limits our risk exposure. See "
Risk Management — Business Model Risk — Market
Risk."
More than half of our CFD trades in 2022 were of this type.
3.
When
an offsetting transaction from another client is not available, we may also act as a broker in arranging trades between the client and
third-party market makers. We maintain cooperative relationships with established market makers and exchange's clearing members,
including international wholesale forex trading partners, which give us access to a pool of potential liquidity and ensure that we are
able to execute our clients' desired trades at competitive rates while hedging our net positions and limiting our exposure. This
type of transaction allows us to transfer the risks associated with riskier trades to established market makers that have greater risk
tolerance, although we would incur additional costs charged by our cooperative market makers. Less than half of our CFD trades in 2022
were of this type.
61
We generate CFD trading revenue from (i) commissions,
(ii) bid/offer spreads, (iii) trading profit and (iv) difference in interest rates.
i.
We
charge commissions for all CFD transactions, except for forex transactions. The amount of commissions we charge is largely based on the
trading volume, with commission rates varying between US$2.25 to US$50 per lot, based on the per-lot value and the type of product traded,
as well as discounts offered to different clients. For instance, our commission rates for stock indices, such as the Dow Jones Industrial
Average and the Hang Seng Index, range from US$2.25 to US$50 per lot, while our commission rates for commodities, such as gold, soy beans
and crude oil, range from US$3 to US$50 per lot.
ii.
We mark up the bid/offer spreads for CFD products on top of the prices offered by our clients, exchanges or third-party market makers, as the case may be. Our price mark-ups over the price offered by an exchange vary depending on the underlying product.
iii.
We act as a trading principal in certain derivative transactions by taking the position opposite to our clients. In such cases, we are exposed to changes in the value of the underlying product, and the clients' losses are our gain.
iv.
We automatically roll-over currency positions each day and provide either a credit or debit for the interest rate difference between the two currencies in the pairs being held. The clients' debits are our gains.
Our
total CFD products trading volume in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was 223,018 lots, 453,687 lots, and 116,607
lots, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had 2,818 CFD trading clients, most of which were retail investors.
TRS Trading Business
We also officially began offering total return
swap (TRS) trading services to clients in July 2020 and expect it to a main growth driver in future years. We have entered into ISDA master
agreements and related supplementary agreements with two of the top five swap traders in China. The top five swap traders in aggregate
account for 89.4% of China's swap trading in terms of addition of notional principal in 2021, according to Purple Tee. The top five
swap traders are very selective in choosing business partners and have entered into ISDA master agreements with only a very limited number
of companies.
We compiled and maintained a list of stock eligible
for clients' trading (called "Share Basket Report"). The list currently consists of the shares listed on Hong Kong Stock
Exchange, shares listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange eligible for trading through northbound trading of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect
and shares listed on Shen Zhen Stock Exchange eligible for trading through northbound trading of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect
as provided by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited from time to time (collectively "Stock Connect A Shares"). We
selected certain eligible stock to include in the Share Basket Report based on certain criteria, such as market cap, daily average trading
volume and financial performance etc.
When our clients placed an order for TRS trades
on certain stock selected from the Share Basket Report, we placed the same order back-to-back with our TRS counterparties for execution.
The clients are entitled for all the gains or losses and dividends arising from the underlying stock. We did not generate gains or losses
from the clients' trading positions. On the other hand, when the clients placed a trade order and made margin deposits with us,
we provided them with leverage by borrowing funds from our counterparties. We charged our clients a higher interest rate and generated
revenue from the interest spread.
We serve as a broker in clients' TRS trades
and the trades are executed over the counter. We recognized the receivables arising from the TRS trading service in an amount generally
equal to the market value of the shares in the line item of "Receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations".
On the liabilities side, net loans borrowed from TRS counterparties are included in the line item of "payables to broker-dealers and
clearing organizations", and clients' margin deposits and holding gains and losses on the underlying stock are included in
the line item of "Payable to customers".
The total rate of return of a portfolio of the
underlying assets on which a swap is based may exhibit substantial volatility and may be positive or negative in any given period. In
the event that the total rate of return is negative and Lion is receiving the total rate of return of that portfolio of underlying assets
in its part of a swap agreement, we would be required to make a payment to our counterparty in addition to that required on the other
part of the swap agreement. We closely monitor the market value fluctuation of the underlying shares in our clients' trades and
set our market risk limit in accordance with our risk management policies, and require additional margin from our clients when the risk
is above our market risk limit.
62
Below is a diagram illustrating the Company's
TRS trading business:
Our TRS trading volume in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022
was $1,074 million and $484 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, we had 180 and 226 TRS trading clients, respectively
all of which were retail investors.
Futures Brokerage Services
We began our futures brokerage services in March 2017.
Our trading platform allows users to trade approximately 100 futures products on major futures exchanges worldwide (excluding the
PRC), including the CME, SGX, HKFE and Eurex. We cooperate with G. H. Financials (Hong Kong) Limited and INTL FCStone Limited, which
are major service providers for global clearing solutions for exchange traded futures and options contracts, to execute and settle futures
transactions. We charge commission fees to clients for trades made using our trading platform based on the number of contracts executed.
According to Purple Tee in April 2023, the total contract volumes of
exchange-traded futures and options in 2022 reached 83.9 billion contracts, being approximately 34.0% higher than 2021 (62.6 billion contracts),
primarily due to the increase in the use of derivatives to manage financial risk and speculate on future market performance amid market
volatility during the year.
Our commission rate is US$1.20 - 40.00 per contract depending on the
types of futures products, subject to various discounts that we offer. Our total number of executed futures contracts was 738,444 lots,
1,124,805 lots, and 1,298,452 lots in 2020, 2021, 2022, respectively. Our futures brokerage service is primarily used by Chinese clients
in Greater China and Southeast Asia, although it is available for users all over the world. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, we had 149
and 177 futures trading accounts opened with our Hong Kong subsidiary, Lion Futures Limited, respectively most of which were retail investors.
Securities Brokerage Services
We began our securities brokerage services in
November 2017. Our trading platform allows users to trade stocks listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq and the HKSE, as well as PRC stocks listed
on the SSE and SZSE that are eligible for Stock Connect. We charge commission fees to clients for trades made using our trading platform
based on the transaction amount, subject to a minimum charge per transaction. To better serve the individual needs of our clients, we
vary the commissions we charge based on the types of products or services, eligibility for discounts and other factors.
63

Our securities brokerage service is primarily
used by Chinese clients in Greater China and Southeast Asia, although it is available for users all over the world. As of December 31,
2022, there were 97securities trading accounts opened on our platform, most of which were retail investors.
Insurance Brokerage Services
We also engage in insurance brokerage services
mainly for high-net-worth Chinese individuals purchasing insurance policies in Hong Kong. We focus on critical illness insurance
and life insurance products, while also offering various other insurance products such as health insurance, savings insurance, annuity
and mandatory provident fund pension scheme. Our insurance company partners include renowned multinational insurance companies such as
Prudential, AIA, Manulife, MassMutual, BOC Life and AXA. Our clients, who largely rely on offline channels, are now also able to compare
various insurance products through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app that launched in April 2020 and sign the insurance policies
during face-to-face meetings with our insurance agents located in Hong Kong.
According to Purple Tee, since the reopening of
the border and resumption of normal travel between Hong Kong and Mainland China at the beginning of the year 2023, more than 628,000 mainland
tourists have visited Hong Kong from January to February 2023, which is 75 times higher than the same period in 2022. Further, Hong Kong
insurance sold to mainland Chinese visitors have seen a resurgence in 2022, as the total value of new office premiums for insurances sold
to mainland Chinese customers, reached HK$2.1 billion in 2022, tripled from 2021 (HK$0.7 billion).
We receive commissions from the insurance companies
based on a percentage of the premium paid by insurance purchasers. We source some of our clients from referral agents located in major
Chinese cities and we pay them referral fees that are usually a negotiated percentage of the insurance premium.
Our
total number of newly-executed insurance policies was 2, 15, and 15 in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and our total number of renewed policies was
2,623, 2,357, and 1,708, respectively. We generated commission income of US$1.0 million, US$0.5 million, and US$0.5 in the same periods,
respectively. Our insurance commission income has decreased over the past few years largely due to a significant decrease in PRC residents
purchasing insurance policies in Hong Kong. This is caused by more stringent enforcement of foreign exchange controls in China, such as
more cumbersome procedures for PRC residents to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars to pay insurance premiums in Hong
Kong and the imposition of daily limits on electronic payments, as well as the unstable political environment in Hong Kong in 2019 and
travel restrictions imposed due to COVID-19 which commenced in 2020 and ended in December 2022, which discouraged PRC residents from purchasing
insurance in Hong Kong.
Asset Management Services
We provide asset management and investment advisory
services for our clients. Based on our clients' different needs, we provide personalized investment strategies to optimize their
asset allocations. Our clients can purchase a wide variety of investment portfolios, which include assets such as stocks, bonds, ETFs,
investment funds and derivatives. We charge management fees based on their assets under management as well as commissions for certain
transactions.
64
Our Technology
We strive to provide our users with a user-friendly
interface, a smooth transaction experience and reliable functionalities. Over the past few years, we outsourced our research and development
to a dedicated information technology team in Hangzhou, China, which has made great efforts in building an integrated trading platform
and enhancing user experience. We provide our services through this integrated Internet platform, which is accessible by mobile apps and
desktop apps. The mobile apps are easy to use and preferred by most users, while the desktop apps are designed for professional investors
who prefer working on a larger interface.
User Interface
Mobile Apps
As
of December 31, 2022, we had five mobile apps, including "Lion Brokers", "MetaTrader", "Lion International
Transactions App 狮子国际交易宝" and "易星 Estar", that allowed
our users with different preferences to trade stocks, futures and CFDs in an efficient, secure, reliable and user-friendly manner. The
table below sets forth our various apps and their respective products or service offerings and operating entities.

We have consolidated "Lion Brokers"
and "MetaTrader" into an all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app, which launched in April 2020, and allow users to remotely open
accounts with our Cayman Islands licensed subsidiary and trade all of the products that are carried by our Hong Kong and Cayman licensed
subsidiaries. The original mobile apps "Lion Brokers" and "MetaTrader" will gradually be phased out once most
users transition to the new Lion Brokers Pro app, which is still being improved. The mobile apps "狮子国际交易宝"
and "易星 Estar" will remain available for users who wish to maintain their securities and futures brokerage trading
accounts in Hong Kong.
The modern and integrated interface of our all-in-one
Lion Brokers Pro app will provide a straightforward and inviting user experience, that we believe will differentiate us from many other
trading platforms whose interfaces are often cumbersome and disjointed. The user interface of our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app contains
five major tabs: home, quotes, watchlists, trading and me.
65
Home.
The home tab (which is demonstrated
in the graphic above) contains quick access to different products such as securities, futures, derivatives, funds and insurance, as well
as popular functions such as account opening, fund deposit and rewards shopping mall. This tab also contains aggregated investment-related
news feeds and educational sources for the users that are from our media partners, contributing authors and in-house editors.
Quotes.
The quotes tab streams the current
market information for various investment products, such as real-time prices and trading volume for stocks and futures, contract terms
and deposit requirements for futures, bid and ask prices for currency derivatives, and net value of funds.
Watchlists
. The watchlists tab contains
real-time prices, historical prices, company profiles, business news and third-party analysis for the particular investment products that
the users select.
Trading.
The trading tab enables our clients
to place orders fast and conveniently. Our clients can place several types of orders, such as conditional order, limited price order,
market order, and follow bid/ask order. We also allow our clients to trade NYSE and NASDAQ-listed securities during pre-market and post-market
hours.
Me.
The me tab allows users to review and
revise their personal information, manage their funds, access the account statements and communicate with client representatives.
Desktop Apps
We offer corresponding Windows versions of our
mobile apps and are developing Mac-OS versions of these apps. These desktop apps allow professional users to view market information and
trade stocks, futures and CFDs on larger screens.
Back End System
Our mobile apps and desktop apps all interact
with our back end system, which is an integrated infrastructure supporting a wide variety of functions, including account opening and
management, market updates, order routing, securities trading and risk management. Our back end system contains multiple servers designated
for different usages, such as stock quotes, order placing and risk alerts. These servers are also connected with public and private cloud
services such as Alibaba Cloud and Azure, as well as with external databases such as those of major stock exchanges. Our back-end system,
which employs big data, high-speed instant cache and distributed ledger technologies, features the following advantages.
●
Extreme
Speed Trading.
We limit the system delay time of the trading process (from the receipt of order from the client to submission of
the order) to within 10 milliseconds. Our system retrieves real-time data from external databases, including major stock exchanges, in
a matter of milliseconds. This reduces end-to-end latency and provides our clients with a smooth and reliable transaction experience,
and also gives our market making business a significant advantage over many of our competitors.
●
High
Concurrency.
We are able to support millions of simultaneous online users and can process more than 10,000 transactions per second.
With a modular architecture, our platform can easily expand as data storage requirements and client visits increase.
●
Consistent
Availability
. We support 24-7 trading through our micro service infrastructure and distributed cluster deployment (virtually or geographically
separated system).
●
High
Sensitivity.
We monitor risks on a real time basis and respond to issues with client accounts promptly. We can stop trading gains
or losses within seconds.
●
High
Security
. We have designed our data security system in accordance with PRC National Information System Protection Standards. Our
system can discover major security loopholes, resist sophisticated malicious attacks and protect against natural disasters, and it can
also recover most functionalities after damage. We employ a distributed infrastructure as the foundation of our trading system, which
includes a number of isolated servers with intensive security protocols. We maintain an advanced cyber security system to monitor and
manage the traffic to our platform on a real-time basis. Our system is designed to automatically detect suspicious activities and automatically
send an alert to our IT team. Our system also features strong encryption and two-factor authentication, in addition to disaster recovery
and business continuity plans.
66
Our Blockchain Technology
Our Lion NFT Platform is a decentralized marketplace
for trading and exchange of NFTs, including the MetaWords. The NFT smart contracts are deployed on Binance Smart Chain ("BSC"),
which is compatible with Ethereum. The smart contracts are based on the ERC721 and ERC1155 protocol, which contains the functions of selling
and auction and adds the fee collection model. The Lion NFT Platform is connected with our KYC system, which allow us to verify the identity
of the users before they trade in Lion NFT Platform.
Risk Management
Our business activities expose us to various risks,
including regulatory environment risk, commercial risk, business model risk and operational risk. Risk management is critical to our business
operations. We have put in place procedures and controls to identify, measure and manage each of these risks. We have established a risk
management team, comprised of five members, which meets at least once every month to review our risk management status.
Regulatory Environment Risk
We operate in highly regulated industries
across multiple jurisdictions. Regulatory environment risk is the risk that the regulatory environment in any of the jurisdictions
in which we operate will change in a way that is materially detrimental to our business. We (in particular, Lion Brokers Limited)
are regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authorities (CIMA) in the Cayman Islands, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures
Commission (HKSFC), the Hong Kong Insurance Authority and Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department in Hong Kong, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore. See
"
Compliance
."
Change of Regulations
The regulatory environment is constantly evolving,
and different regulators may introduce new regulations or modify existing requirements. For instance, CIMA is contemplating to impose
additional restrictions on market making activities and as a result, we may need to change our transactional procedures to comply with
the new requirements. It is also possible that regulators will increase the capital and liquidity requirements or roll out other financial
ratio requirements. The changing regulatory environment may subject us to heavier financial burden and cause adverse effects on our results
of operations. We strive to maintain close relationships with regulators and actively seek conversation with them in an effort to keep
abreast of impending regulatory developments.
Change of Tax Treatment
The evolving tax regimes in the various jurisdictions
where we operate may change the basis on which we are taxed. We also face the risk of additional taxes, such as the financial transaction
tax, which if imposed could severely impact the economics of trading. We may need to re-examine the various types of trades of our clients
in order to cope with the tax-related risks.
Commercial Risk
We define commercial risk as the risk that our
performance is affected by commercial factors, such as business strategies, market conditions, competition and supplier restrictions.
Business Strategy Risk
We face the risk of failure to formulate or implement
an appropriate business strategy. Our board is responsible for formulating our global business strategies, while our senior management
is responsible for implementing such strategies. Our board evaluates macro-economic conditions in key jurisdictions, such as the United States,
the PRC, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Singapore and formulates strategic plans accordingly. Our senior management initiates
strategic movement and convenes regularly to discuss the ongoing implementation of such strategies. For instance, considering stable political
policies, economic growth and social environment, along with a low tax rate in Singapore, we relocated our headquarters to Singapore in
March 2022. We carefully review the performance of each of our business lines and decide which segment or area we will continue to invest
in. We also engage external consultants with proper expertise to assist with our strategic planning and market research.
67
Market Condition Risk
Our futures, securities and CFD products trading
clients may be sensitive to adverse market conditions. Our ability to attract new clients and the willingness of our clients to trade
partially depend on the level of trading opportunities that our clients perceive to be available to them in the markets. Our revenue stream
could therefore be affected by market conditions.
We constantly monitor market conditions and our
clients' sensitivity towards the changing market conditions through a detailed review of daily revenue analysis reports, monthly
financial information and other key performance indicators. When market conditions become adverse, our risk management team may call a
meeting to discuss our strategies as necessary. We mitigate the market condition risk by regularly forecasting market developments and
managing our financial performance.
Competition Risk
We mainly operate in the online futures and securities
brokerage market and CFD trading market for global Chinese investors, which are both highly competitive and rapidly evolving. See "
Competition
." We may lose our clients if there are new or existing competitors offering more attractive products, services
or pricing. We pay close attention to our competitors' activities and performance and ensure that our product offerings and pricing
remain attractive to the clients.
Supplier Restriction Risk
Our business operations depend on a variety of
services from third parties including banks, brokers, stock exchanges, information technology service providers and electronic payment
service providers. For instance, in providing certain of our CFD trading services, we rely heavily on a small number of established third-party
market makers. If any third party that we rely on ceases its cooperation with us, we may be unable to execute certain trades and our results
of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We regularly interact with our suppliers and strive to maintain cooperative relationships
with them. We also periodically review engagements with major suppliers to make sure the terms are satisfactory to both sides.
Business Model Risk
We define business model risk as the risk arising
from the nature of our business and the way we conduct business. Our business model risk includes market risk, credit risk, liquidity
risk and capital adequacy risk.
Market Risk
When we facilitate instant execution of client
trades, we may be subject to market risk if the trade of one client cannot be naturally offset by the trade of another client, in which
case we may act as a principal in trading with the client and take a position. We constantly monitor our exposure to the market against
our pre-determined market risk limit. When our exposure exceeds the limit, we hedge our position to bring our exposure back to the limit.
The market risk limit represents the maximum (long or short) net exposure we will hold without any hedging. In accordance with the methodology
in our risk management policy, we set our market risk limit based on our risk appetite with reference to the expected liquidity and volatility
of the underlying financial products, aiming to achieve an optimal balance among facilitating client's trades, controlling our cost
of hedging and maximizing our daily revenue.
We may also be subject to residual market risk
caused by market gaps, which may occur when a product price changes suddenly in a single large movement, often at the opening of a trading
day, rather than in small incremental steps. In this situation, we may have difficulty adjusting our hedging in a timely manner and thereby
incur a potential loss. We conduct regular scenario-based stress tests that analyze the impact of potential market gap events and take
preventive actions to mitigate the impact caused by residual market risk.
68
Credit Risk
We have a credit risk management system in place
to evaluate our credit risk. We regularly review our credit policies and set appropriate credit limits for our clients. In determining
the credit limit of a particular client, we consider its investment pattern, the history of its daily closing positions, the types of
products it has previously invested in and the security it has placed with us. We only allow a client to place purchase orders within
its trading limit using cash deposited in its designated account with us. We require the client selling shares to provide necessary documents
evidencing that the shares are deposited with a securities clearing and settlement system of a recognized securities exchange.
We set pre-trade quantity limits and price collars
on individual orders. Our system will detect and reject orders that exceed the specified quantity limits or fall outside of the current
acceptable price range. We also impose intra-day net long or short position limits on our clients to prevent their accumulated positions
from exceeding the clearing company's financially comfortable levels, as well as to halt potentially errant algorithms.
We also measure the pre-settlement credit exposure
and the settlement risk of all our clients to manage our overall credit exposure. We take into account the number of clients with open
positions, the products for which clients have open positions, the concentration of open positions on any given securities and other relevant
factual circumstances. Whenever our overall pre-settlement credit exposure is unusually high on any given day, we investigate the causes
and may reduce the limit on each client in order to control our overall credit exposure.
We have forced liquidation policies for our clients.
For futures trading, we force clients to liquidate when their equity to occupied margin ratio falls below 80%; for CFD trading, we force
clients to liquidate when their net worth to occupied margin ratio falls below 50%.
Liquidity Risk
We closely monitor our liquidity position. Our
account department prepares a daily cash position summary and our directors and senior management review this summary to ensure that there
are no cash flow mis-matches. We may arrange for credit facilities when necessary.
Capital Adequacy Risk
We operate in highly regulated industries across
multiple jurisdictions including the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. We are required to hold sufficient regulatory capital at both
group and individual entity level to cover our risk exposures, among other financial obligations imposed by regulatory authorities. We
are required to at all times hold sufficient capital to meet regulatory requirements in all relevant jurisdictions. We assess our capital
requirements through financial projections and stress tests frequently. We also check internal warning indicators and timely escalate
potential capital inadequacy to our senior management for prompt preventive or remedial action.
Operational Risk
We define operational risk as the risk of loss
resulted from operational matters, such as failure of technology systems, fraud, and human error. We regularly review our operations to
ensure that our operational risk is properly managed.
Technology Risk
Our electronic trading system applies various
pre-order checks, such as a "fat finger" check that examines the notional value, per order quantity and price validation.
Our system also checks order frequency, max net position on each instrument and max number of open orders per instrument, and automatically
rejects orders if our preset limits are exceeded.
We have set up and implemented contingency plans
to ensure business continuity during interruptive events. In case our main trading system is down, the control can be switched to the
backup system almost instantaneously to continue trading and position monitoring. All of our electronic databases are backed up and kept
in a virus-free environment.
People Risk
People risk is the risk of loss caused by employees,
whether intentionally or negligently, such as employee fraud, error or omission, or involving employees, such as labor disputes, health
and safety issues, and human resource practices. We strive to create an employee-friendly working environment to retain talents and impose
procedural controls to prevent the violation of work ethics.

Marketing
To attract clients, we conduct marketing mainly
through search engines, social media, app stores and third-party websites. These various online resources detect potential clients and
display our logo, name, hyperlink to our website and QR code for our apps. For these services, we contract with advertisement placement
agencies and pay them on a monthly or quarterly basis. We may also use traditional marketing channels, such as participating industry
exhibits organized by industry associations or media in large Chinese population centers including Shanghai, Shenzhen and Taipei.
Client Services
Our client service team strives to respond to
our clients' inquiries promptly in accordance with our procedures. If any of our staff member receives a complaint, whether oral
or in writing, from the client or other third parties, the staff member must immediately notify our compliance with details of the complaint.
When possible, our compliance officer will respond to the complainant on the same day as the complaint is made, and then explore with
staff members the validity of and reasons for the complaint. In each case, we will respond to the complaint with a clear explanation and
take all appropriate steps to remedy the situation.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trademarks, software copyrights and trade
secrets, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with our employees and others, to protect our intellectual properties.
As of December 31, 2022, we had obtained one trademark in Singapore and one in Hong Kong, and acquired 11 copyrights related to our
trading software programs. Our intellectual properties are essential for us to establish our brand recognition, enhance our reputation
and distinguish our services from the competitors in the market. As our brand name becomes increasingly recognized among the general public,
we will further enhance the protection of our intellectual properties.
Competition
Our Trading Platform
We mainly operate in the online CFD trading market
and the futures and securities brokerage market and for global Chinese investors, which are both highly competitive and rapidly evolving.
Our primary competitors are CMC Markets, IG, Forex.com and Interactive Broker in the CFD trading market, and Tiger Securities and Futu
Holdings Ltd in the online futures and securities brokerage market for global Chinese investors. Although some of our competitors may
have greater financial resources or a larger client base than we do, we believe that our full service licenses, strong brand name, diverse
service offerings, efficient trade execution, smooth capital flows and advanced technology infrastructure together make us one of the
top performers in this market.
Our Lion NFT Platform
We created and minted the MetaWords NFTs by converting
Xu Bing's characters in his artwork Book from the Ground and sold MetaWords NFTs to the NFT collectors. The deployment at BSC charges
a lower gas fee for our users when compared to other NFT projects deployed at Ethereum.
70
Employees
We
had a total of 38 employees in Hong Kong and Singapore as of
December 31, 2022. We enter into individual employment contracts with selected employees to cover matters including non-competition and
confidentiality arrangements. Our employees' remuneration packages generally include salary, bonus and social security benefits
in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Facilities
Our
headquarters are located in Singapore, where we leased one principal executive office. We also have offices in Hong Kong and the
Cayman Islands. All of our offices are leased from independent third parties. As of December 31, 2022, our leased office space was
7,713 square feet in aggregate, including 6,502 square feet in Hong Kong, 1,175 square feet in Singapore and 36 square feet in the
Cayman Islands. We believe that we will be able to obtain adequate facilities, principally through leasing, to accommodate our
future expansion plans.
Seasonality
While seasonal fluctuations are not likely to
affect our business in the future, historically, we have experienced fluctuations based on trading volume of our key clients, see "Item
3. Key Information –D. Risk Factor – We derived a substantial portion of revenue from a small number of key clients."
Our revenue also depend substantially on our client's trading volume, which are influenced by the general trading activities of
the market, see "Item 3. Key Information –D. Risk Factor – Our business is sensitive to general economic and political
conditions and other factors beyond our control, and our results of operation are prone to significant and unpredictable fluctuations."
Insurance
We maintain business interruption insurance for
equipment and data processing devices, professional indemnity insurance and directors' and officers' liability insurance.
We also maintain proper insurances required by the Securities Investment Business Act (SIBA) of the Cayman Islands and the regulations
promulgated under the SIBA. Our directors consider that the insurance policies we carry are adequate for our business operations and in
line with customary industry practice.

Compliance
We operate in highly-regulated industries and
must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We (in particular Lion Brokers Limited)
are regulated by the CIMA in the Cayman Islands, the HKSFC, the Hong Kong Insurance Authority and Hong Kong Customs and Excise
Department in Hong Kong. We (in particular Lion Brokers Limited) must submit annual audit reports to the CIMA and HKSFC and are subject
to their periodic inspections. There has been no material non-compliance issue identified in any of the regulatory inspections that has
not been appropriately rectified. We have not been subject to any other administrative penalty or fine that, individually or in the aggregate,
in the opinion of our management, would be reasonable expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition.
While our directors are ultimately responsible
for supervising our compliance, our compliance officer is responsible for continually monitoring our compliance status and implementing
compliance policies. We maintain a compliance manual, which contains detailed procedures for corporate government, know-your-client (KYC),
trade execution, records keeping, anti-money laundering (AML), and risk management, among others. We provide training to our employees
and require them to strictly adhere to our compliance manual. We have also adopted specific compliance measures for KYC, asset protection,
insurance, and back office and accounting.
KYC
We employ various measures to ascertain the identity
and understand the background of each of our prospective clients before establishing business relationships with them. These measures
include, among others, checking potential clients, passports or identity cards, maintaining a robust file management system in which client
files are retained and corresponding reference numbers and relevant details are recorded to the extent practicable, interviewing prospective
clients personally as appropriate and needed and verifying the identities of the directors or partners of our prospective institutional
clients. To reduce the risk of being subject to complex U.S. laws and regulations, we do not allow U.S. citizens or residents
to open an account with us. We have two separate teams conduct our KYC procedure on new clients' backgrounds and identify manually
and will reject all account applications if there is any U.S. exposure. However, our KYC procedures may not be able to effectively identify
all U.S. citizens and residents at all time. See "
Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We
face risks related to our know-your-customer, or KYC procedures when our clients provide outdated, inaccurate, false or misleading information.
"
In addition, anonymous accounts are generally not allowed to be opened, heightened scrutiny measures are imposed on accounts opened on
behalf of third parties and additional verification measures are conducted before we accept third party payments against the accounts
of our clients. Besides that, we have explicitly excluded the U.S. market and the U.S. residents from our scope of business and services
at the application of CIMA Full Securities Investment Business License with the CIMA. We shall reapply the CIMA Full Securities Investment
Business License with the CIMA provided that we have any change in our business scope.
We also use the GRADA Platform to facilitate our
AML compliance process. The GRADA Platform was developed by Global Risk and Data Authority Ltd. and is a simple online solution for financial
service providers to address complex issues relating to AML and other global compliance and regulatory initiatives. The GRADA platform
integrates with third party confirmation service providers to crosscheck and ensure the authenticity of the documentation provided, and
we ask our clients to upload their information and relevant materials onto the GRADA platform for verification and validation. The GRADA
Platform will then assess the risk level of the prospective clients opening an account with us and sort them into high-risk, medium-risk
or low-risk clients based on the information in their database. The applications from prospective clients in the low-risk or medium-risk
categories will be approved automatically, while additional procedures, including human intervention, will be carried out before applications
from prospective clients in the high-risk category can be approved.
Asset Protection
We have comprehensive procedures in place to properly
safeguard our clients' assets that are in our possession. For example, we arrange for a custodian to manage our clients' assets
in segregated accounts, and strict guidelines are required to be followed every time a client's money flows into or out of the segregated
accounts. Such transactions take place in a manner that is in accordance with the authority and the specific instructions our clients
give us. We will not deploy a client's money in any way that will be deemed unconscionable, and we are prohibited from paying any
client's money to any of our officers, employees or related parties.
72
Back Office and Accounting
We reconcile all account balances of our general
ledger accounting system to those on the stockbroker management system, perform procedures to ensure the total amount from all pay-in
slips match with the total amount deposited into the bank and clear any errors identified on a daily basis. Our senior staff members also
conduct regular reconciliation of our internal records to those kept by other third parties, such as clearing houses and our counterparties,
to identify and resolve any possible accounting issues.
Data Privacy
We collect certain personal data from our customers
in connection with our business and operations and may be subject to data privacy laws in various jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands,
Hong Kong and the PRC. The relevant data privacy laws may require the data owner to consent to the data collection and agree to its
usage. When a customer registers an account on our online portal, they are required to confirm that they have read and agreed to the terms
and conditions of the portal, including the terms set out in our data privacy statement. Our data privacy statement states that the personal
data being collected can be used for purposes of data analysis and supporting us to develop and to improve our products. We believe that
we are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations in all material respects with respect to data privacy.
Legal Proceedings
As the date of this annual report, we are not
a party to, and we are not aware of any threat of, any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations.

Prosecutions; or (x) requiring such action to be taken by the licensee as CIMA reasonably believes necessary for dealing with the
circumstances set out in (a) to (f) of this paragraph.
In addition, CIMA may cancel a license if the

the date of the grant of the license.

Hong Kong
Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571
of the Laws of Hong Kong)
The Securities and Futures Ordinance, or the SFO,
including its subsidiary legislation, is the principal legislation to regulate the securities and futures industry in Hong Kong,
including the regulation of securities, futures and leveraged foreign exchange markets, the offering of investments to the public in Hong Kong,
and intermediaries and any regulated activities conducted by them in such capacity. Part V of the SFO particularly deals with licensing
and registration matters.
Types of Regulated Activities
The SFO promulgates a single licensing regime
where a person only needs one license or registration to carry on different types of regulated activities as defined in Schedule 5 to
the SFO for which it is licensed. The regulated activities defined in the SFO are as follows:
License
Type 1:
dealing in securities
Type 2:
dealing in futures contracts
Type 3:
leveraged foreign exchange trading
Type 4:
advising on securities
Type 5:
advising on futures contracts
Type 6:
advising on corporate finance
Type 7:
providing automated trading services
Type 8:
securities margin financing
Type 9:
asset management
Type 10:
providing credit rating services
As the date of this annual report, the following
Hong Kong subsidiaries were licensed under the SFO to carry on the following regulated activities:
Company
Type of license
Lion International Securities Group Limited
Type 1, Type 4
Lion Futures Limited
Type 2, Type 5
Lion Asset Management Limited
Type 4, Type 9
Overview of Licensing Requirements under the
SFO
Under the SFO, any person who (a) carries
on a business in a regulated activity or (b) holds itself out as carrying on a business in a regulated activity, must be licensed
under the relevant provisions of the SFO to carry on that regulated activity, unless one of the exemptions under the SFO applies. It is
an offense for a person to conduct any regulated activity without the appropriate license issued by the HKSFC.
In order for a licensed corporation to carry on
regulated activities, it must designate no less than two persons, one of which must be its executive director, to oversee the regulated
activities. An "executive director" of a licensed corporation is defined as a director of the corporation who (a) actively
participates in; or (b) is responsible for directly supervising, any business of the regulated activities for which the corporation
is licensed. Each such executive director who is an individual must be approved by the HKSFC to serve as the responsible officer of such
regulated activities of the corporation.
In addition to the licensing requirements on corporations
that carry on regulated activities, any individual who (a) performs any regulated function for his principal which is a licensed
corporation in relation to a regulated activity carried on as a business; or (b) holds himself out as performing such regulated function,
must separately be licensed under the SFO as a licensed representative accredited to his principal. Persons applying for licenses under
the SFO must satisfy and continue to satisfy after the grant of such licenses by the HKSFC that they are fit and proper persons to be
so licensed.
78
Continuing Obligations of Licensed Corporations
Licensed corporations, licensed representatives
and responsible persons must remain fit and proper at all times. They are required to comply with all applicable provisions of the SFO
and its subsidiary rules and regulations, as well as the codes and guidelines issued by the HKSFC.
Outlined below are some of the key continuing
obligations of licensed corporations:
●
maintenance
of minimum paid-up share capital and liquid capital, and submission of financial returns to the HKSFC in accordance with the requirements
under the Securities and Futures (Financial Resources) Rules (Chapter 571N of the Laws of Hong Kong);

Anti-money Laundering and Counter-terrorist
Financing
Licensed corporations are required to comply with
the applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws and regulations in Hong Kong as well as the AMLCTF Guideline
and the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Guideline issued by the HKSFC for Associated Entities published by the
HKSFC in April 2012.
79
The AMLCTF Guideline assists licensed corporations
and their senior management in formulating and implementing appropriate and effective policies, procedures and controls in order to meet
applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Under the AMLCTF Guideline, licensed corporations must, among other things:
●
assess
the risks of any new products and services before they are launched and ensure that appropriate additional measures and controls are
implemented to mitigate and manage the risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing;
●
identify
the client and verify the client's identity by reference to any documents, information or data from reliable and independent sources,
and take steps from time to time to ensure that the client information obtained is up-to-date and relevant;
●
conduct
on-going monitoring of activities of the clients to ensure that they are consistent with the nature of business, the risk profile and
source of funds, as well as identify transactions that are complicated, large or unusual, or patterns of transactions that have no apparent
economic or lawful purpose and may indicate money laundering and terrorists financing;
●
maintain
a database of names and particulars of terrorist suspects and designated parties which consolidates the information from various lists
that have been made known to them, as well as conduct comprehensive on-going screening of the client database; and
●
conduct
on-going monitoring for identification of suspicious transactions and ensure compliance with their legal obligations of reporting funds
or property known or suspected to be proceeds of crime or terrorist property to the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit, a unit jointly
run by the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Customs & Excise Department to monitor and investigate suspected
money laundering.
We set out below a brief summary of the principal
legislation in Hong Kong that is concerned with the regulatory system of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist
Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (Chapter 615 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("AMLO")
Among other things, the AMLO imposes requirements
relating to client due diligence and maintenance of records of specific financial institutions and empowers competent authorities to supervise
compliance with the requirements under the AMLO. In addition, the competent authorities are empowered to (1) ensure that proper safeguards
exist to prevent contravention of specified provisions in the AMLO and (2) mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance
(Chapter 405 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("DTROP")
Among other things, the DTROP empowers competent
authorities to investigate assets suspected to be derived from drug trafficking activities, the freezing of assets on arrest and the confiscation
of the proceeds from drug trafficking activities. It is an offense under the DTROP if a person deals with any property knowing or having
reasonable grounds to believe it to be the proceeds from drug trafficking. The DTROP requires a person to report to an authorized officer
if he/she knows or suspects that any property (directly or indirectly) is the proceeds from drug trafficking or is intended to be used
or was used in connection with drug trafficking, and failure to make such disclosure constitutes an offense under the DTROP.
Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance (Chapter
455 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("OSCO")
Among other things, the OSCO empowers officers
of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Customs & Excise Department to investigate organized crime and triad
activities, and gives the courts jurisdiction to confiscate the proceeds of organized and serious crimes, to issue restraint orders and
charging orders in relation to the property of defendants of specified offences. The OSCO extends the money laundering offense to cover
the proceeds from all indictable offences in addition to drug trafficking.
United Nations (Anti-terrorism Measures) Ordinance
(Chapter 575 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("UNATMO")
Among other things, the UNATMO provides that it
would be a criminal offense to: (1) provide or collect funds (by any means, directly or indirectly) with the intention or knowledge
that the funds will be used to commit, in whole or in part, one or more terrorist acts; or (2) make any funds or financial (or related)
services available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of a person knowing that, or being reckless as to whether, such person
is a terrorist or terrorist associate. The UNATMO also requires a person to report his knowledge or suspicion of terrorist property to
an authorized officer, and failure to make such disclosure constitutes an offense under the UNATMO.
80
Insurance Ordinance (Chapter 41 of the Laws
of Hong Kong) ("IO")
The licensing regime under the IO prescribes two
types of licensed insurance brokers: licensed insurance broker companies and licensed technical representatives (broker). Licensed insurance
broker companies give advice on insurance policies to clients and act as agents of clients (serving as both their trusted professional
advisors and their representatives) in the course of dealing with matters relating to insurance policies (including procurement, negotiation
and arrangement of insurance policies with insurers, and, in some cases, making and settling claims). Licensed technical representatives
(broker) act as representatives of (i.e. on behalf of) the licensed insurance broker companies which appoint them. In this capacity, they
give advice on insurance policies to clients and represent their appointing licensed insurance broker companies to deal with matters relating
to insurance policies on behalf of clients.
Licensed insurance brokers can approach insurers
across the market to source the most suitable insurance products for clients and licensed insurance broker companies owe fiduciary duties
to clients when acting as agents of the clients. In view of this, the IO imposes requirements (set out in rules made under section 129
of the IO) on licensed insurance broker companies in relation to the following aspects:
●
capital
and net assets;
●
professional
indemnity insurance;
●
keeping
of separate client accounts;
●
keeping
of proper books and accounts.
The IO (and rules, regulations, codes and guidelines
administered or issued by the Insurance Authority) also includes requirements, which focus on the interactions which licensed insurance
brokers have with policy holders and potential policy holders when carrying on regulated activities. These requirements include:
●
the
statutory conduct requirements, with which licensed insurance brokers must comply in carrying on regulated activities, in sections 90
and 92 of the IO;
●
the
relevant requirements set out in the rules, regulations, codes and guidelines made or issued under the IO; and
●
the
general principles, standards and practices set out in the Code of Conduct For Licensed Insurance Brokers.
Singapore
As we provide online brokerage services in Singapore through our subsidiary,
Lion International Financial (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., our business operations are subject to the laws of Singapore. The key laws and regulations
which relate to our business and operations in Singapore are summarized as follows:
Regulatory Requirements under the Securities
and Futures Act
The Securities and Futures Act 2001, or the SFA,
is the principal legislation regulating activities and institutions in the securities and derivatives industry in Singapore.
The SFA is administered by the Monetary Authority
of Singapore, or the MAS, which is Singapore's central bank and integrated financial regulator. As an integrated financial supervisor,
the MAS has oversight of all financial institutions in Singapore, including banks, insurers, capital market intermediaries, and financial
advisors. To this end, the MAS also establishes rules for such financial institutions which are implemented through legislation, regulations,
directions and notices. MAS guidelines are also formulated and published to encourage best practices among financial institutions in Singapore.
In particular, Part 4 of the SFA provides for
the licensing and regulation of certain regulated activities typically carried out by capital markets intermediaries.
Types of Regulated Activities under Part 4
of the SFA
Part 4 of the SFA governs
the conduct of regulated activities typically carried out by capital market intermediaries. Under Section 82(1) of the SFA, a person carrying
on business in a regulated activity is required to hold a Capital Markets Services License, or CMSL, issued by the MAS, unless an exemption
applies. The CMSL system is a modular licensing system, in that an entity will hold one single CMSL covering the different types of regulated
activities under the SFA which it engages or intends to engage in.
81
The categories of activities regulated under the
SFA are set out under Part 1 of the Second Schedule to the SFA as follows:
(1)
dealing
in capital markets products;
(2)
advising
on corporate finance;
(3)
fund
management;
(4)
real
estate investment trust management;
(5)
product
financing;
(6)
providing
credit rating services; and
(7)
providing
custodial services.
It is an offense for a person to carry on business,
or hold himself out as carrying on business, in any regulated activity without the appropriate license issued by the MAS.
In addition, where a CMSL has been granted by
the MAS, the grant may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the MAS thinks fit. It is an offence for a person to contravene
any such condition or restriction in the license.

Organizational Structure
The following diagram illustrates our corporate
structure as of the date of this annual report.

Property, Plants and equipment
Our
headquarters are located in Singapore. We also maintained offices in Hong Kong, where we leased one office and one technology support
office. We also have offices in the Cayman Islands. All of our offices are leased from independent third parties. As of December 31,
2022, our leased office space was 7,713 square feet in aggregate, including 6,502 square feet in Hong Kong, 1,175 square feet in Singapore
and 36 square feet in the Cayman Islands. We believe that we will be able to obtain adequate facilities, principally through leasing,
to accommodate our future expansion plans.

ITEM
5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion of our financial condition
and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes
included in this annual report. This annual report contains forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Information."
In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information provided under the caption "Item 3. Key Information—D.
Risk Factors" in this annual report. We caution you that our businesses and financial performance are subject to substantial risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
A.
Operating Results
Overview
We are one of the few Chinese investor-focused
trading platforms that offer a wide spectrum of products and services. Currently, our business lines include (i) total return swap
(TRS) trading business, (ii) contracts for difference (CFD) trading services, (iii) futures and securities brokerage services,
and (iv) insurance brokerage services. We provide these services through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app and a variety of other
apps available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac platforms. Our clients are mostly well-educated and affluent Chinese investors residing both
inside and outside the PRC (excluding the United States), as well as institutional clients in Hong Kong that use our futures
trading service.
Our trading platform allows users to trade more
than 100 futures products on major futures exchanges worldwide (excluding the PRC), including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Singapore
Exchange (SGX), the Hong Kong Futures Exchange (HKFE) and Eurex Exchange (Eurex), as well as stocks listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq and Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE), and PRC stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen
Stock Exchange (SZSE) that are eligible for the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs
(together, the "Stock Connect"). Our customers may also use our platform to trade various financial products, such as stock
indices, commodities, futures, forex, ETFs, warrants and callable bull/bear contracts, on global exchanges or OTC markets.
Recent Developments
COVID-19 Impact
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and
has subsequently spread worldwide. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. In the fiscal
year of 2021, some instances of COVID-19 infections emerged in various regions worldwide. Governments around the globe have taken
measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including quarantining individuals infected with or suspected of having
COVID-19, prohibiting residents from free travel, encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling
public activities, among others. The COVID-19 had also resulted in temporary closure of many corporate offices and factories around
the world. In addition, as the outbreak threatened global economies, it caused significant market volatility and declines in general
economic activities. Since December 2021, there has been a recurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks in China and Hong Kong due to the Delta
and Omicron variants. During the year of 2022, other countries in the world lifted COVID travel restrictions, while China sticked to
its stringent COVID control and prevention measures, resulting in a series of regional lockdowns amid a sharp resurgence in COVID
cases until China began to modify its zero COVID strategy in the last month of 2022.
Like most companies, our various business lines
have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. CFD trading volume and futures contract volumes decreased significantly since the beginning
of 2020, which was mainly attributable to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on our customers, causing a decrease
in both their willingness to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated to making such transactions. Meanwhile,
our insurance brokerage businesses were negatively affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong Kong
to open new futures trading accounts or purchase insurance products. At the end of 2022 and in the beginning of 2023, China was seeing
COVID infections to surge rapidly as the border controls, travel and social restrictions, and quarantine requirements were relaxed. Although
the cases worldwide subdued, WHO has not declared an end to the COVID-19 pandemic yet. There remains uncertainty as to the impact of
COVID-19's on the Group's businesses, and the extent to which the pandemic impacts our results of operations going forward
will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including the frequency, duration and extent of outbreaks
of COVID-19, the appearance of new variants with different characteristics, the effectiveness of efforts to contain or treat cases, and
future actions that may be taken in response to these developments.

Cryptocurrency Mining and Our Cryptocurrency
Holdings
We commenced Bitcoin mining operations in China
in late May 2021 and have ceased our Bitcoin mining operations at the end of October 2021. We operated a fleet of 5,000 Bitmain's
model S9 Hydro Antminers, with a theoretical maximum total hash rate capacity of 90 PH/s (petahash) deployed as of today. We closely monitored
our Bitcoin mining operation on a daily basis. All the mined Bitcoins have been distributed by Antpool to our cold wallets. We stored
the mined Bitcoins in hardware wallets (or known as cold wallets), which were safeguarded in the safety boxes in our office. The keys
and passwords of the safety boxes are separately held by our different staff. We held the mined Bitcoins and converted into USDT when
it was commercially justified. From May 2021 to October 2021, we mined approximately 37.884 Bitcoins, and we converted all of our mined
Bitcoin at an average price of USDT 45,567 per Bitcoin. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of US$1.7 million
from Bitcoin mining business. As of December 31, 2021, we have liquidated all the USDT. As of December 31, 2021, we have no Bitcoin and
no USDT on our balance sheet. For the period from May 2021 to October 2021, our Bitcoin mining operations was immaterial to our operations
and the cryptocurrency that we hold is less than 40% of the value of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash
items) on an unconsolidated basis.
In the context of the China's continuous
and greater efforts on energy conservation and emission reduction, the large amount of electricity required for mining was becoming increasingly
inaccessible. Lately in September 2021, China's National Development and Reform Commission, People's Bank of China and
several other ministerial departments jointly issued administrative notices on restricting the development of mining activities and preventing
the derived financial risks related to cryptocurrency trading hype. The administrative measures included in the notices are aimed at restraining
the supply of electricity to the mining business, and ultimately prompting existing mining facilities to gradually withdraw from the mining
business. We voluntarily ceased our Bitcoin mining operations at the end of October 2021, in response to the hiked electricity cost as
well as to the change of the regulatory environment in the PRC. We did not receive any penalty or notice from the PRC governments as a
result of the recent development of the PRC crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities.
As of December 31, 2022, we have fully impaired
and disposed of the mining equipment due to the technological obsolescence of the miners, the stumbled Bitcoin price and the change in
the regulatory environment in PRC. We recognized no revenue from cryptocurrency mining business since the end of October 2021. As of the
date of this annual report, we did not have Bitcoin mining operations and the cryptocurrency that we hold is immaterial to the value of
our total assets.
NFT Platform Operation
In January 2022, we launched our NFT business
through Flying Lion Limited, including (i) issuance of MetaWords character NFTs and MetaWords work NFTs (collectively, the "MetaWords
NFTs"), and (ii) the establishment of our NFT trading platform, namely the Lion NFT platform (f/k/a/ Meta World). The Lion NFT platform
is an online marketplace where user customers can mint, buy, and sell their own NFT assets. We have performed KYC check on the identity
of the registered users since the launch and have blocked all U.S. persons from accessing the platform. We did not issue or sell MetaWords
NFTs to U.S. persons in January 2022 and blocked U.S. persons from registering on the Lion NFT platform. We will also keep tracking users'
IP addresses and block visitors with a U.S. IP address.
In January 2022, we created and minted the MetaWords
NFTs by converting Xu Bing's characters in his artwork
Book from the Ground
and sold MetaWords NFTs to the NFT collectors.
MetaWords characters serve as the basic units of the MetaWords language system. MetaWords works
are excerpts drawn from Mr. Xu's artwork
Book from the Ground
.
The sales were conducted through an online auction and blind boxes direct sell on the Lion NFT platform. The sale price was received in
the form of wrapped BNB and BNB tokens. We sold in an aggregate of six MetaWords NFTs created by us by the auction in the amount of 197
wrapped BNB, and 2,742 blind-boxes which includes MetaWords NFTs at 0.40 BNB per unit for a total amount of 749 BNB, net of the consideration
paid to customers of 348 BNB in form of incentive credits. We record revenue on a gross basis of the sale price, net of considerations
paid to the users as the incentive, in an aggregate of approximately US$438,000 at the spot token price upon the completion of the sale
of character NFTs and blind boxes (the "MetaWords Primary Sale"). The profits generated from the Lion NFT platform will be
retained by Flying Lion Limited, a Cayman Islands company, one of our subsidiaries, as working capital. We conduct our NFT business through
Flying Lion Limited. We hold 70% equity interest in Flying Lion Limited through Lion NFT Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, in
which we hold 90% equity interest.
We did not have additional sale of NFTs since January 2022.
As
of December 31, 2022, we held 197 wrapped BNB and 749 BNB on hand in the carrying value of approximately US$144,000, and recorded an impairment
charge of approximately US$294,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. We have liquidated most of the BNB (691 BNB out of 749 BNB) into
USDT 230,000 in February 2023. As of the date of this annual report, the value of BNB we hold is not material to our total assets.
84
The users can resell the MetaWords NFTs to other
users on the Lion NFT platform, or MetaWords Resale. For the MetaWords Resale conducted on the Lion NFT platform, we charge 5% of the
purchase price as the authorization fee for Xu Bing's artwork; 5% of the purchase price as the licensing fee for the author; and
2.5% of the purchase price as the transaction fee. Lion is the author for MetaWords NFTs. The commissions are collected in the form of
BNB tokens when the users buy and sell MetaWords NFTs on the Lion NFT platform. We may record three types of fees abovementioned when
applicable on a net basis, and earned revenue based on a specific percentage of the gross sale value as the subsequent sales occur. As
of the date of this annual report, the fees abovementioned we are entitled to such MetaWords Resale were de minimis and there were no
other NFTs transactions on Lion NFT platform than MetaWords.
Due to the lack of physical substance, we consider
MetaWords NFTs that we created meet the definition of intangible assets and would generally be accounted for under ASC 350
Intangibles
— Goodwill and Other
. The useful life is indefinite according to ASC 350-30-35-4. Although the Lion NFT platform does not provide
digital wallet services to its users, the Lion NFT platform allows its users to connect and link their own digital wallets, such as Metamask,
to the Lion NFT platform. For NFTs held by users, we do not provide custody services either directly or indirectly, and neither we have
control of these digital assets nor do we have any related liability. They are off-balance sheet to our financial statements. Therefore,
we do not have policies and procedures that are in place to prevent self-dealing and other potential conflicts of interest.
As of the date of this annual report, besides
the ceased crypto mining operations and NFTs, we do not have other revenue-generating activities in digital assets.
Impact of Recent Developments Regarding
Crypto Asset Market
During 2022, a number of companies in the crypto
industry have declared bankruptcy, including ore Scientific Inc., Celsius Network LLC ("Celsius"), Voyager Digital Ltd., Three
Arrows Capital, BlockFi Lending LLC, and FTX Trading Ltd. ("FTX"). In June 2022, Celsius began pausing all withdrawals and
transfers between accounts on its platform, and in July 2022, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Further, in November 2022,
FTX, one of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Such bankruptcies have contributed, at least in
part, to further price decreases in most crypto assets, a loss of confidence in the participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative
publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly, and other participants and entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may
continue to be, negatively affected. These events have also negatively impacted the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain
entities affiliated with FTX engaged in significant trading activity. We have not been directly impacted by any of the recent bankruptcies
in the crypto asset space, as we have no contractual privity or relationship to the relevant parties. We do not expect that we will have
material assets that may not be recovered or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated due to the bankruptcies. As of December 31, 2022,
the Group considers the value of the NFTs held by the Group is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. In
accordance with the accounting policies mentioned above, the Group initially capitalized the costs of NFTs in intangible assets which
primarily included the gas fees, the blockchain transaction fee paid to network validators for their services, in an aggregate of less
than $1,000, and subsequently determined to fully impair. Gas fees were paid by BNB tokens and measured at the fair value of the tokens
on the date paid. As a result, as of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of NFTs included in intangible assets was zero. The failure
or insolvency of large exchanges like FTX may cause the price of Bitcoin or other crypto assets to fall and decrease confidence in the
ecosystem, however, the impact of failure or insolvency of large exchanges like FTX to our operations and financial condition is limited.
We did not pledge any crypto assets to any parties since the start of the crypto business. We have liquidated most of the BNB (691 BNB
out of 749 BNB) into USDT 230,000 in February 2023. We are unaware that the MetaWords NFTs currently held by our users serve as collateral
for any other person or entity.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our results of operations are
affected by the following factors.
The demand for our services and the economic
and political conditions in global markets
Our principal businesses are providing CFD trading,
TRS trading and futures brokerage services to our clients. Our results of operations are directly affected by the demand for such services
of our existing and potential clients, which are predominantly Chinese investors living both in and outside of China. Their demand for
our services arises from the progressive increases of their investable assets and willingness to allocate more of these assets into global
financial markets.
The economic and political conditions in major
jurisdictions, such as the U.S., China and Hong Kong, could affect our clients' perception of the market sentiment, which may
change their investment decisions. For instance, as a result of the social unrest in Hong Kong in 2019 and 2020, a significant amount
of our potential insurance brokerage clients chose not to purchase insurance products in Hong Kong, which adversely impacted
our insurance commission income.
85
Our financial performance is prone to changing
global market conditions, especially the fluctuation and volatility of trading activities on major exchanges worldwide. Since the first
half of 2020, global market reacted to a series of unpredictability such as COVID-19, oil price, and heightened trade and geopolitical
tensions with fluctuation and volatility, repeatedly triggering market wide circuit breaker. Recently, eruptions of regional tensions,
such as the ongoing military conflict involving Ukraine and Russia, and the related sanctions against Russia have resulted in major economic
shocks worldwide and substantial volatility across global financial markets. These and other economic factors could materially and adversely
affect demand for our products and services.
Number of users and transaction volumes
We historically derive our revenue mainly from
commissions, bid/offer spreads, trading profit and difference in interest rates for transactions on our platform. Generally speaking,
the larger the number of transactions carried out on our platform, and the larger the size of those transactions, the greater will be
our revenue. We generated a substantial portion of our revenue from a small number of key clients and revenues from our larger clients
have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on their trading volume. Our total revenue-generating client accounts
increased from 1,722 as of December 31, 2017 to 4,047 as of December 31, 2019, and continued to increase to 5,010 as of December 31, 2020
and 5,261 as of December 31, 2021, and then decreased to 4,526 as of December 31, 2022. Among our total 4,526 revenue-generating client
accounts, 62% of accounts are CFD trading accounts which decreased from 2,866 in 2021 to 2,818 in 2022.
If we can effectively attract new users, retain
existing users particularly larger users and engage our users to more frequently trade larger transactions on our platform, our transaction
volumes and revenues will grow along with the expansion of our user base. We believe our branding and marketing efforts contribute to
customer retention and engagement, and that our ability to cross sell products to our clients also helps drive the growth of our revenue.
Product and service offerings and user experience
Our ability to remain competitive in the industry
largely depends on the diversity of our product and service offerings and the user experience provided through our desktop and mobile
applications. We began our CFD trading services in May 2019, and we generated a significant portion of our revenues through it since
then, which by its nature requires constant product monitoring, innovation and development.
We officially began offering total return swap
(TRS) trading services to customers in July 2020, currently offering A-shares (shares that are denominated in Renminbi and traded in the
Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange) and Hong Kong stock basket linked TRS, which provides international investors seeking
to invest in China stock market with higher leverage compared with buying A-share stocks directly. We earn income from the spread on interest
rate loans provided to TRS trading clients and loans borrowed from its business partners. In addition, we also receive commission and
fees from customers for trades made through the TRS trading service.
As our client base diversifies, the needs for
new products and services will further intensify. We strive to continually develop new products and services to keep up with customer
demand and industry trends.
New Geographic expansion plans
We plan to strengthen our leading position in
key markets, such as Greater China, by retaining active users, reactivating dormant accounts, obtaining new customers and enhancing service
quality. We hope to increase our market share by penetrating into new geographic areas, such as Southeast Asia.
We obtained the official approval from the Monetary
Authority of Singapore for the Capital Markets Services (CMS) license application in October 2021 and relocated our headquarter to Singapore
in the first quarter of 2022, representing the next tranche of its strategic plan to expand in Southeast Asia.
86
Investment in technology and talent
We invest heavily in technology. Before 2021,
we outsourced our research and development to a dedicated team based in Hangzhou, China which has made great efforts in building an integrated
internet trading platform that is accessible through our all-in-one Lion Brokers Pro app. In December 2020, September 2021 and April 2023,
we entered into three asset acquisition agreements with Hangzhou Lanlian Technology Co., Ltd, to acquire various copyrighted trading software
programs including market quotes system, operation and trading system and risk management system. We believe that the fast and reliable
order execution and smooth user experience will enhance our customer stickiness and stimulate our revenue growth.
In addition, there is a strong demand in Hong
Kong and China's online trading service industry for talented and experienced personnel. We must recruit, retain and motivate talented
employees by offering competitive compensation, including share-based compensation.
Effectiveness of cost control measures
Our results of operations depend on our ability
to manage our costs and expenses. The commission expenses and interest rates we pay to our business partners, such as prime brokers and
clearing houses, have historically constituted a significant portion of our total expenses. For us to maintain and expand our profitability,
we must make sure that our commission expenses remain at a reasonable or reduced level while our own commissions and fees stay at comparable
or higher rates. This will depend on going market rates and our ability to successfully negotiate with our partners. We believe that as
our user base and our platform continue to grow, that we will have greater leverage in dealing with our business partners, allowing us
to negotiate improved commission rates and interest rates.
We have incurred substantial research and development
expenses, and expect to incur additional significant expenses relating to future development, maintenance and operation of our technology
infrastructure and project-based expenditures.
Regulatory environment and compliance
We operate in highly regulated industries across
multiple jurisdictions, especially in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. If any of the relevant regulatory authorities, such as the
Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC), and Monetary Authority of Singapore,
introduce new regulations or impose greater restrictions on us, we may incur additional compliance costs. Certain changes could further
cause us to change our business model or transactional processes to comply with these new requirements. We may also be subject to new
taxes or cumbersome reporting obligations, which will bring heavier financial burden to us. If we fail to comply with any of the applicable
regulations, we may be subject to monetary penalties, which would also affect our results of operations. Further, if we expand into new
markets such as Southeast Asia, our operations in those markets will be subject to local regulations which could also prove burdensome.
In addition, governmental policies and regulatory environment such as any capital control measures that impose restrictions on cross-border
transfer also affect our business and results of operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to
Year Ended December 31, 2021
Revenues
Our total revenues decreased by US$27.5 million
from an income of US$25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a loss of US$(2.5) million for the year ended December
31, 2022, primarily due to the trading losses in CFD and TRS trading services.
Our total revenue-generating client accounts increased
from 1,722 as of December 31, 2017 to 5,261 as of December 31, 2021, and decreased to 4,526 as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in 2022
was primarily due to the number of clients in our insurance brokerage business. As of December 31, 2021, the total 5,261 active revenue-generating
accounts included 149 accounts for futures trading, 96 accounts for securities trading, 2,866 accounts for CFD trading, 180 accounts for
TRS trading and 1,970 accounts for insurance products. And as of December 31, 2022, the total 4,526 active revenue-generating accounts
included 177 accounts for futures trading, 97 accounts for securities trading, 2,818 accounts for CFD trading, 226 accounts for TRS trading
and 1,208 accounts for insurance products.
TRS Trading Services Income.
We officially
began offering TRS trading services to customers in July 2020. Revenue generated from TRS trading services decreased by US$13.8 million
from an income of US$13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a loss of US$(0.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2022,
due to the trading gains/(losses) from our proprietary TRS trading activities which decreased by US$15.0 million from an income of US$11.1
million to a loss of US$(3.9) million, and a decrease of US$0.2 million in commissions and other income partially offset by an increase
of US$1.4 million in interest income earned on loans provided to TRS trading customers. Our proprietary TRS trading activities suffered
significant losses from Chinese stock markets' high fluctuations in 2022, which was caused by China's dismal economic outlook,
renewed lock-downs in cities across China resulting from the stringent zero-Covid policy, heightened geopolitical tensions such as U.S.-China
relation, escalated friction over Taiwan Strait, and unpredictable regional military conflict worldwide etc.
CFD Trading Services Income.
We derive
a substantial portion of income from CFD trading services from a small number of key clients. As a result, earnings generated from our
CFD trading services have demonstrated high volatility historically. Revenue generated from CFD trading services decreased by US$15.4
million from an income of US$8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a loss of US$(6.7) million for the year ended December
31, 2022, primarily attributable to an increase of US$11.9 million in trading losses and a decrease of US$3.5 million in commission income.
CFD trading losses increased from trading gains of US$4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to trading losses of US$(7.5) million
for the year ended December 31, 2022. We suffered significant losses from acting as counterparty to our clients' CFD trades in 2022,
particularly in the first half as a result of fluctuation and volatility of the global financial markets in reaction to a series of unpredictable
events, such as the Russia and Ukraine conflict, Europe's energy crisis, surging inflation and climbing interest rates in the U.S.
and Europe, China's housing market slump etc.. These events impacted major stock indexes, commodity markets including crude oil
and metal, and the foreign exchange market. Market making commission income decreased from $4.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2021 to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was mainly attributable to China's tightened restrictions
on promotion and advertisements related to internet financial products and services, leading to a significant decrease in the number of
new accounts opened through online advertising.
95
Futures and Securities Brokerage Income.
Revenues
from futures and securities brokerage services increased from US$2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of an increase in the number of executed futures contracts, primarily due to Hong Kong's
economy rebounded as the local pandemic subsided since 2021 and sophisticated investors wanted to take advantage of the volatile markets
and allocated more into speculation trading.
Others.
Other income increased by
US$1.2 million from US$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, to US$1.5 million for the year ended December
31, 2022. The increase in other income was primarily attributed to trading gains from OTC call options of US$0.9 million, sale of MetaWords
NFTs of US$0.4 million and interest, other income of US$0.7 million generated in 2022, and the decrease of US$0.9 million in trading losses
from exchange-traded stock, offset by the decrease of US$1.7 million in Bitcoin mining income as the Bitcoin mining operation has ceased
since October 2021.
Expenses
Our total expenses increased by 22.2% from US$25.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$31.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in research
and development, communication and technology expenses, marketing expenses, depreciation and impairment of mining equipment, partially
offset by the decrease in service fees, compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrants liabilities, and cost of crypto mining.
Commission Expenses.
Our
commission expenses decreased by 3.6% from US$3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in TRS trading commission expenses by US$0.4 million, partially offset by an
increase in our futures brokerage commission expenses of US$0.3 million, which is in line with the overall trench of such businesses.
Compensation Expenses.
Our
compensation expenses decreased by 11.0% from US$4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the discretionary bonus paid out in 2021.
Communication and Technology Expenses.
Our
communication and technology expenses increased by US$1.5 million from US$1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3.4 million

related to TRS and CFD trading businesses as well as NFT trading platform.

services fees for independent contractors and consultants decreased by 45.3% from US$3.6 million for the year ended December 31,

incurred R&D expenses of US$4.7 million in connection with developing and enhancing our Metaverse project for the year ended
December 31, 2022, increased from that of US$1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

interest expenses increased from US$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$2.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2022, mainly attributable to an increase of US$0.8 million in the interest we paid for loans borrowed from our TRS trading service
business partners, offset by a decrease of US$0.1 million in the interest and the amortization of debt discounts from convertible debentures.

occupancy expenses slightly increased from US$779,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US826,000 million for the year ended

Marketing
expenses increased by US$2.8 million from US$0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022, mainly attributable to an increase in acquiring external marketing resources to developing marketing strategies,
providing marketing analysis and setting and implementing marketing plans to promote existing and newly-launched products and services.
Depreciation.
Our
depreciation expenses increased from US$0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$2.0 million for the year ended December

in 2021.

change in fair value of the outstanding Public and Private Warrants for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a gain of US$1.3 million,
compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change in fair value is mainly the result of changes
in market prices deriving the value of the financial instruments.
Other Expenses.
Other expenses decreased
from an expense of US$144,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to an expense of US$32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Income Tax Expenses
Our income tax expenses decreased from US$54,000
for the year ended December 31, 2021 to US$3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the taxes paid in 2021 as a result
of IRS examination of PAAC's tax return for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had net losses
of US$34.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of US$0.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2021.

Revenues
Our total revenues increased by 144.3% from US$10.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2020 to US$25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, due to an increase in each segment.

of US$1.3 million earned on loans provided to TRS trading customers, and (iii) commissions and other income of US$ 0.8 million resulting
from TRS trading services. In the corresponding period of 2020, revenue from TRS trading services was US$0.2 million in aggregate.
CFD Trading Services Income.
Lion derives
a substantial portion of income from CFD trading services from a small number of key clients. As a result, earnings generated from our
CFD trading services have demonstrated volatility historically. CFD trading gains/(losses) increased by US$2.6 million from trading
gains of US$1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to trading gains of US$4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Market making commission income decreased by US$0.6 million from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $4.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was mainly attributable to China's strengthened restrictions on the promotion and advertisements
related to internet financial products and services which has led to a significant decrease in the number of new accounts opened through
online advertising. As a result, we began to target Southeast Asian market as our main strategic direction of the CFD trading services
business, however, our expansion plans have been delayed due to the sustained impact of COVID-19 in that region. In addition, the rise
of crypto currency trading activities in 2021 has diverted potential CFD trading customers.

revenue of US$1.7 million generated in 2021.

We have been able to meet our working capital
needs in the past, and based on our current operating plan, we expect that our existing unrestricted cash and short-term investments and
our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months. In the long term,
our working capital needs will depend on many factors, including the rate of our business and revenue growth, the timing of our various
expenditures and cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities and capital expenditures.
To the extent our unrestricted cash, short-term
investments and cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to satisfy its liquidity needs in accordance with our strategic plan
in the future, we may determine to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities. If additional funding
is necessary or desirable, however, we may not be able to effect an equity or debt financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or
at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, its results of operations and financial condition would be materially
and adversely impacted.
The following table presents our cash and cash
equivalents held in various currencies as of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. We closely monitor our cash balance and
future payments obligations by preparing monthly cash balance and fund requirement reports to provide a timely overview of our overall
cash position and liquidity and risk control measurements. Such reports are reviewed by our chief financial officer and chief executive
officer.

Transfers of Cash from Our Subsidiaries
to the Company
Lion Group Holding Ltd. is incorporated in Cayman
Islands on February 11, 2020, to be the ultimate parent company of the Group upon the consummation of a business combination on June 16,
2020. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our substantial operations through our subsidiaries in Hong
Kong and the Cayman Islands and our apps are available to download in the app stores of China and most of our users are PRC citizens,
which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. Lion Group Holding Ltd is permitted under the laws of Cayman Islands to
provide funding to our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the
amount of the funds. Lion Group Holding Ltd. can distribute earnings from its businesses, including subsidiaries, to the U.S. investors.
Our operations in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands were in loss position since the second half of 2020, and the Company has raised capital
through financing transactions and provided funding to our operations in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.
Our operating subsidiaries are permitted under
the laws of Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Singapore, and British Virgin Islands, respectively, to provide funding to Lion Group Holding Ltd,
the holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands through dividend distributions, loans or advances. Our Group currently intends
to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring
or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently do not have any dividend policy, any future determination will be made
at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual
requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in
any future financing instruments.
104
Currently, we conduct our substantial operations
through our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands. We do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or enter into any contractual
arrangements to establish a VIE structure with any entity in China. Since Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and
the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, providing Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and
executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of "one country,
two systems". We are dependent on our customers in the PRC, the laws and regulations of the PRC currently have restrictions on currency
conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment for PRC citizens. See "
Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our
Business and Industry — PRC governmental control of currency conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment could have
a direct impact on the trading volume on our platform, and the PRC government could further tighten restrictions on converting Renminbi
to foreign currencies and/or deems our practices to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations
." for more information on the
risk of PRC governmental control of currency conversion, cross-border remittance and offshore investment with respect to our operations.
However, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on transfer of cash from the Company to our Cayman
Islands and Hong Kong subsidiaries to or from Cayman Islands and Hong Kong subsidiaries to the Company and the investors in the U.S..
As a result, cash can be transferred freely between the Company and its operating subsidiaries, across borders, and to U.S. investors.
Subject to the Companies Act and our Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders from time
to time out of the profits from the Company, realized or unrealized, or out of the share premium account, provided that the Company will
remain solvent, meaning the Company is able to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business. There is no further
Cayman Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us in the form of dividends.
The following are the aggregate transfers from
its subsidiaries to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and for the period from June 16, 2020 to December 31,
2020:

In 2020, dividends paid to the individual shareholder
were US$386,000. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not pay any dividends to our shareholders. If we determine to
pay dividends on any of our ADSs in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our operating subsidiaries
in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong
Kong in respect of dividends paid by us, and under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are also not subject to tax on income or
capital gains and withholding tax is not imposed upon payments of dividends from the Company to its shareholders.
105
There are no restrictions or limitations under
the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong,
nor is there any restriction on any foreign exchange to transfer cash between the Company and its subsidiaries, across borders and to
investors outside of PRC, nor is there any restrictions and limitations to distribute earnings from the subsidiaries, to the Company and
investors outside of PRC and amounts owed. There are no exchange controls in Cayman Islands.
See "
Risk Factors — Risk Related
to Our Corporate Structure — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash
and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material
adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business

Trend
Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual
report, we are not aware of any trend, uncertainty, demand, commitment or events for the year ended December 31, 2022 that are reasonably
likely to have a material and adverse effect on our revenues, income, profitability, liquidity, capital resources, or that would cause
disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operation results or financial conditions.
E.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our
own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The use of estimates
is an integral component of the financial reporting process, and actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes
in our estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are described below. The critical accounting estimates should be read in conjunction
with our risk factors as disclosed in "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors." See Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information on our significant accounting policies.
107
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers include
crypto currency mining, commission income from securities, futures and derivative brokerage services, CFD trading services as well as
insurance brokerage services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant
judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time, how to allocate transaction
prices where multiple performance obligations are identified, when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of progress under
the contract, whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs, and whether constraints on variable consideration including
noncash consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.
Long-lived assets
We review other long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. In evaluating
long-lived assets for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows at the individual asset or asset group level. If the future undiscounted
cash flows result in a value that is less than the carrying value, then the long-lived asset is considered impaired and a loss is recognized
based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Various factors that we use in determining the impact
of these assessments include the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in
excess of the carrying amounts of such asset or asset groups, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets,
changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes
in expected future cash flows. Because judgment is involved in determining the fair value of long-lived assets, there is risk that the
carrying value of these assets may require adjustment in future periods.
Public and Private Warrants Liabilities
At December 31, 2022, 11,500,000 Public Warrants
and 5,375,000 Private Warrants remained outstanding. We evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity. Since the
Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, we recorded these Warrants as liabilities on the balance
sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss)
and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date. Because the Public Warrants were publicly traded and
thus had an observable market price, fair value adjustments were determined by utilizing the market prices whereas the Private Warrants
were valued using a Black-Sholes-Merton pricing model as described in "Note 5 – Fair Value", to the consolidated financial
statements. The changes in the fair value of the Warrants may be material to our future operating results.
Determining the appropriate valuation model and
estimating the fair values of warrant liabilities requires the input of subjective assumptions, including risk-free interest rate, expected
stock price volatility, dividend yields, and expected term. The expected volatility assumption is based partially upon the historical
volatility of our ordinary shares, which may or may not be a true indicator of future volatility. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair values of warrants liability represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties
and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, changes in fair value of warrants
liabilities could be significantly different from what we recorded in the current period.
Stock-based Compensation
We apply ASC No. 718, "Compensation-Stock
Compensation", which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees and nonemployees upon adoption of ASU 2018-07,
be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service
period, with a corresponding addition to equity. Under this method, compensation cost related to employee share options or similar equity
instruments is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the period during which an employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.
After the closing of the Business Combination,
the fair value of our ordinary shares underlying stock-based awards is determined to be based on the closing price of the Company's
shares as reported by Nasdaq on the date of grant. We value our stock options or warrants that have service vesting requirements or performance-based
awards with or without market conditions using the Binomial Option Pricing Model.
Income Taxes
The amount of current taxes payable or refundable
is recognized as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates of the relevant
authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits based on applicable tax rates.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax expenses or benefits are recognized in the consolidated financial statements
for the changes in deferred tax liabilities or assets between years.
108
We recognize the effect of income tax positions
only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount
that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the
change in judgment occurs.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our calculation of Non-GAAP (loss) income (net
(loss) income before change in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts, depreciation
expenses and impairment of fixed assets) and Non-GAAP EPS differs from EPS based on net (loss) income because it does not include change
in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts, depreciation expenses and impairment of
fixed assets. We use this information internally in evaluating our operations and believe this information is important to investors because
it provides users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance for the periods
and is more consistently comparable to the prior periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-GAAP (loss) income and Non-GAAP EPS should
not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income and EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. The
following is a reconciliation of our net (loss) income to Non-GAAP (loss) income and GAAP EPS to our Non-GAAP EPS:

whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers

Board
Practices

namely Class I and Class II. Class I consists of three directors, and Class II consists of four directors. Directors assigned to
Class I shall initially serve until the first annual general meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness of our first Amended
and Restated Memorandum of Articles of Association. Directors assigned to Class II shall initially serve until the second annual general
meeting of shareholders following the effectiveness of our first Amended and Restated Memorandum of Articles of Association.
Committees of the Board of Directors
As of the date of this annual report, we have
three committees, namely, audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. We have adopted a
charter for each of the three committees.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee comprises of Chi Fai Choi,
Rahul Mewawalla and Chi-yang Chen, and is chaired by Chi Fai Choi. All of the directors satisfy the "independence" requirement
of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meets the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under
the Exchange Act. Our audit committee is responsible for, among other things, appointing, retaining, setting compensation of, and supervising
our independent accountants, reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and reviewing our accounting
practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.
The audit committee will at all times be composed
exclusively of "independent directors," as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the
rules and regulations of the SEC, who are "financially literate," as defined under Nasdaq's listing standards. Nasdaq's
listing standards define "financially literate" as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including
a company's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, we are required to certify to Nasdaq that the
committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional
certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual's financial sophistication.
Chi Fai Choi serves as a financial expert on our audit committee.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee consists of Jian Wang,
Chunning Wang and Chi Fai Choi, and is chaired by Jian Wang. Chi Fai Choi satisfies the "independence requirement" of Rule 5605(a)(2)
of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meets the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. As
a foreign private issuer, we have elected to not have our compensation committee consist of entirely independent directors. The compensation
committee is responsible for reviewing and approving compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer our incentive compensation
plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans. It assists the board in determining its responsibilities in relation
to remuneration, including, amongst other matters, making recommendations to the Board on policy on executive compensation, determining
the individual remuneration and benefits package of each of the executive directors and recommending and monitoring the remuneration of
senior management below board level.
114
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our nominating and corporate governance committee
consists of Jian Wang, Chunning Wang and Chi Fai Choi, and is chaired by Jian Wang. Chi Fai Choi satisfies the "independence requirement"
of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meets the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under
the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we have elected to not have our nominating and corporate governance committee consist of
entirely independent directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals
qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors adopted a code of ethics
and business conduct that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics and business conduct codifies
the business and ethical principles that will govern all aspects of our business.
Corporate Governance Practices
As a Cayman Islands exempted company listed on
the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Rule 5615(a)(3) of The Listing
Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Nasdaq Rules") permits foreign private issuers like us to follow certain home country
corporate governance practices in lieu of certain provisions of the Rule 5600 Series of the Nasdaq Rules. A foreign private issuer
that elects to follow a home country practice instead of such provisions, must disclose in its annual reports each requirement that it
does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by it.
Our current corporate governance practices differ
from Nasdaq corporate governance requirements for U.S. companies in certain respects, as summarized below:
●
Executive
Sessions.
IM5605-2 of Nasdaq Rules requires independent directors of a Nadaq listed company must meet regularly in executive
session (without members of management present), and such executive sessions should occur at least twice a year. In this regard we have
elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices which do not require independent directors to
meet regularly in executive sessions separate from the full board of directors.
●
Nomination of Directors
. Rule 5605(e)(2) of Nadsaq Rules requires director nominations of a Nasdaq listed company to be made or recommended solely by independent directors and the director nominations process be addressed by a formal written charter or board resolution. We follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require us to have a formal written charter or board resolution addressing the director nominations process.
●
Composition of Board
. Rule 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Rules requires a Nasdaq listed company to have a majority of the board be independent. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices do not require a majority independent board.
●
Composition of Committees.
Rule 5605(d)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules requires a Nasdaq listed company to have a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors to determine or recommend the compensation of the executive officers of the company. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices do not require that any of the members of a company's compensation committee be independent directors.
●
Shareholder Approval.
Rule 5635(c) requires shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country. In accordance with the provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors is authorized to issue securities, including ordinary shares, warrants and convertible notes.
115
D.
Employees
We had a total of 38 employees in Hong Kong
and Singapore as of December 31, 2022. We enter into individual employment contracts with selected employees to cover matters including

of our employees are represented by labor unions.

and employment agreements with our employees. These contracts include a standard non-compete covenant that prohibits the employee from
competing with us, directly or indirectly, during his or her employment as well as certain period of time after employment is terminated.

The following table sets forth information regarding
the beneficial ownership based on a total number of 58,604,692 ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of December 31, 2022, including

Business Combination Lock-up Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Business
Combination Agreement, each Jian Wang and Chunning Wang (collectively, the "Class B Seller") entered into a lock-up agreement
(each a "Lock-Up Agreement") with regard to the Exchange Shares to be received by such Class B Seller. In such Lock-Up
Agreement, each Class B Seller agreed that such Seller will not, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the
earlier of the six month anniversary of the Closing (or if earlier, the date on which we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange
or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their
equity holdings in us for cash, securities or other property) (the "Lock-Up Period") (i) lend, offer, pledge (except
as provided below), hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any of such Class B Seller's Exchange Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another,
in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of such Class B Seller's Exchange Shares, or (iii) publicly
announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each holder also agreed that the Escrow Shares
will continue to be subject to such transfer restrictions until they are released from the Escrow Account. However, each Class B
Seller is allowed to transfer any of its Exchange Shares (other than the Escrow Shares while they are held in the Escrow Account) by gift,
will or intestate succession or to any immediate family member (or related trust), trustor or trust beneficiary, as a distribution to
equity holders upon liquidation or to an affiliate or pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement in divorce; provided in each such
case that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement. The Class B Sellers are
also permitted to pledge their shares during the Lock-Up period so long as the pledgee agrees not to exercise its remedies with respect
to the Exchange Shares during the Lock-Up Period.

Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as well as the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the "
Companies
Act
") insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.
Capitalized terms not defined in this section
shall have the meanings given to them in the Articles.
120
Register And Company Purpose
Lion Group Holding Ltd. is a company incorporated
in the Cayman Islands, with its principal executive office at 3 Phillip Street, #15-04 Royal Group Building, Singapore 048693, and its
registered office at 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9009, Cayman Islands.
The objects for which the Company is established
are unrestricted and the Company shall have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by any law as provided by
Section 7(4) of the Companies Act.
Summary Of Provisions Relating To Certain
Powers And Interests Of Directors
Our Directors may hold any other office or place
of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with their offices of Directors for such period and on such
terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by
his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor,
purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is
in any way interested, be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the
Company for any profit realized by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary
relation thereby established. A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors
whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any
such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.
Our Directors may exercise all the powers of the
Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any part thereof, or to otherwise
provide for a security interest to be taken in such undertaking, property or uncalled capital, and to issue debentures, debenture stock
and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.
A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election
and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.
Other than being of legal age, there are no age
limit restrictions for directors and they are not required to own any shares in the Company.
The remuneration of the directors may be determined
by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution.
Shares, Share rights
Subject to the Articles, all Shares for the time
being unissued shall be under the control of the Directors who may issue, allot and dispose of the same to such Persons, in such manner,
on such terms and having such rights and being subject to such restrictions as they may from time to time determine and grant options
with respect to such Shares and issue warrants or similar instruments with respect thereto and, for such purposes, the Directors may reserve
an appropriate number of Shares for the time being unissued. The Directors, or the Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution, may authorize
the division of Shares into any number of Classes and sub-classes and the different Classes and sub-classes shall be authorized, established
and designated (or re-designated as the case may be) and the variations in the relative rights (including, without limitation, voting,
dividend and redemption rights), restrictions, preferences, privileges and payment obligations as between the different Classes (if any)
may be fixed and determined by the Directors or the Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution.
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act,
the rules of Nasdaq, the Articles and to any special rights conferred on the holders of any Shares or Class of Shares, any Share in the
Company (whether forming part of the present capital or not) may be issued with or have attached thereto such rights or restrictions whether
in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise as the Board may determine, including without limitation on terms that they
may be, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital,
as the Board may deem fit. Shares and other securities of the Company may be issued by the Directors with such preferred, deferred or
other special rights, restrictions or privileges whether in regard to voting, distributions, a return of capital, or otherwise and in
such classes and series, if any, as the Directors may determine.
Subject to the Companies Act and the rules of
the Nasdaq, any preferred Shares may be issued or converted into Shares that, at a designated date or at the option of the Company or
the holder if so authorized by its Articles of Association, are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Members
before the issue or conversion may by Ordinary Resolution of the Members determine. Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable
Share, purchases not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price as may from time to time be determined by
the Board, either generally or with regard to specific purchases. If purchases are by tender, tenders shall comply with applicable laws
and the rules of Nasdaq.
121
Subject to Article 12, the Memorandum of Association
and any special resolution of the Members to the contrary and without prejudice to any special rights conferred thereby on the holders
of any other Shares or Class of Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall carry equal rights and rank pari
passu with one another in all respects other than the following:
(a) As regards to conversion
(i)
Subject
to the provisions hereof and to compliance with all fiscal and other laws and regulations applicable thereto, including the Companies
Act, a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares shall have the Conversion Right in respect of each Class B Ordinary Share in its holding. For
the avoidance of doubt, a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares shall have no rights to convert Class A Ordinary Shares into Class B Ordinary
Shares under any circumstances.
(ii)
Each Class B Ordinary Share shall be converted at the option of the holder, at any time after issue and without the payment of any additional sum, into such Conversion Number of fully paid Class A Ordinary Shares calculated at the Conversion Rate. Such conversion shall take effect on the Conversion Date. A Conversion Notice shall not be effective if it is not accompanied by the share certificates in respect of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares and/or such other evidence (if any) as the Directors may reasonably require to prove the title of the person exercising such right (or, if such certificates have been lost or destroyed, such evidence of title and such indemnity as the Directors may reasonably require). Any and all taxes and stamp, issue and registration duties (if any) arising on conversion shall be borne by the holder of Class B Ordinary Shares requesting conversion.
(iii)
On the Conversion Date, every Class B Ordinary Share converted shall automatically be re-designated and re-classified as the applicable Conversion Number of Class A Ordinary Shares with such rights and restrictions attached thereto and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Class A Ordinary Shares then in issue and the Company shall enter or procure the entry of the name of the relevant holder of converted Class B Ordinary Shares as the holder of the corresponding number of Class A Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares in, and make any other necessary and consequential changes to, the Register of Members and shall procure that certificates in respect of the relevant Class A Ordinary Shares, together with a new certificate for any unconverted Class B Ordinary Shares comprised in the certificate(s) surrendered by the holder of the Class B Ordinary Shares, are issued to the holders thereof.
(iv)
Until such time as the Class B Ordinary Shares have been converted into Class A Ordinary Shares, the Company shall:
(b) As regards Voting Rights
Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive
notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Holders of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary
Shares shall, at all times, vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote for Members' consent. Each Class
A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of the Company. Each Class B
Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one hundred (100) votes on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of the Company.
(c) As regards Transfer
Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition
of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity which is not an Affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary
Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into such Conversion Number of Class A Ordinary
Shares calculated based on the Conversion Rate.
Shareholders
The Board is authorised to establish a Shareholder
rights plan including approving the execution of any document relating to the adoption and/or implementation of a rights plan. A rights
plan may be in such form and may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine in its absolute discretion. The
Board is authorised to grant rights to subscribe for Shares of the Company in accordance with a rights plan, and may in accordance with
a rights plan, exercise any power under such rights plan (including a power relating to the issuance, redemption or exchange of rights
or shares) on a basis that excludes one or more members, including a member who has acquired or may acquire a significant interest in
or control of the Company subject to applicable law.
122
Call on Shares
The Directors may from time to time make calls
upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen
days' notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on
such Shares. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof. The provisions of these
Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by
the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as
if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly
paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of
payment. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys
uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would,
but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution,
eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.
Forfeiture Of Shares
If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment
of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any
part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid,
together with any interest which may have accrued. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days
from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of
non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. If the requirements
of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter,
before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. A forfeited Share may
be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition
the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be
a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at
the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when
the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant
is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts
in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given
for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer
of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the
Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by
any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale. The provisions on forfeiture shall apply in
the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of
the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
Transfer Of Shares
The instrument of transfer of any Share shall
be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may determine and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and
if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee
and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably
require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name
of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares. Subject to the terms of issue thereof, the Directors may
determine to decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor. The registration of transfers may be suspended
at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine. All instruments of transfer that are registered shall
be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud)
be returned to the Person depositing the same.
123
Transmission Of Shares
The legal personal representative of a deceased
sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognized by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered
in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased holder of the Share,
shall be the only Person recognized by the Company as having any title to the Share. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence
of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors,
have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such
transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right
to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before
the death or bankruptcy. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled
to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not,
before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership
in relation to meetings of the Company.
Alteration Of Share Capital
The Company may from time to time by Ordinary
Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe,
including to: consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares; convert
all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination; subdivide its existing Shares,
or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount,
if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and cancel
any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the
amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled. The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and
any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorized by law.
Redemption, Purchase And Surrender Of Shares
Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may
issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such
terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine; purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in
such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder; make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of
its own Shares in any manner authorized by the Companies Act, including out of its capital; and accept the surrender for no consideration
of any paid up Share (including any redeemable Share) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.
Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption
has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as
the date of redemption in the notice of redemption. The redemption, purchase or surrender of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise
to the redemption, purchase or surrender of any other Share.
The Directors may when making payments in respect
of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement
of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie including, without limitation, interests in a special purpose
vehicle holding assets of the Company or holding entitlement to the proceeds of assets held by the Company or in a liquidating structure.
Limitation On Owning Securities
There are no limitations imposed by the Articles
in respect of the rights of non-residents or foreign persons to purchase, own or sell securities issued by the Company.
Dividends
The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled
to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors subject to the Companies Law, our articles of association and the common
law of the Cayman Islands.
124
Rights In A Liquidation
If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator
shall apply the assets of the Company in such manner and order as he thinks fit in satisfaction of creditors' claims. The liquidator
may, with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution divide amongst the Shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets
of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose set such value as he deems fair
upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different
Classes of Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts
for the benefit of the Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like sanction shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled
to accept any assets whereon there is any liability.
Voting Rights
The Board of Directors shall be divided into two
classes: Class I and Class II. Class I shall consist of three (3) directors. Class II shall consist of four (4) directors. The term of
office of Class I shall expire at the first annual meeting of Members following the effectiveness of these Articles; and the term of office
of Class II shall expire at the second annual meeting of Members following the effectiveness of these Articles. Directors may be added
to the Board of Directors between annual meetings of Members by reason of an increase in the authorized number of directors belonging
to the relevant class as approved by an Ordinary Resolution. Commencing at the first annual general meeting of Members following the effectiveness
of these Articles, and at each second annual general meeting thereafter, Class I directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms
expire thereat shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the second succeeding annual general meeting after their election. Commencing
at the second annual general meeting of Members following the effectiveness of these Articles, and at each second annual general meeting
thereafter, Class II directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire thereat shall be elected for a term of office to
expire at the second succeeding annual general meeting after their election.
Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive
notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Except as required by applicable law and subject to these Articles,
holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (if applicable) shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters
submitted to a vote of the Shareholders. On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy.
Subject to any special rights or restrictions
as to voting at the time, at any general meeting on a show of hands:
(i)
every Member holding Class A Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorized representative), or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Class A Ordinary Share of which he is the holder and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative shall have one vote for every fully paid Class A Ordinary Share of which he is the holder; and
(ii)
every Member holding Class B Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorized representative), or by proxy shall have 100 votes for every fully paid Class B Ordinary Share of which he is the holder and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative shall have 100 votes for every fully paid Class B Ordinary Share of which he is the holder.
Amendments To The Articles
Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may
at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part.
Provisions Restricting Change In Control
Of Our Company
The Board is authorised to exercise the powers
under Article 16 (Shareholder Rights Plan) of the Articles for any purpose that the Board, in its discretion, deems reasonable and appropriate,
including to ensure that any process which may result in an acquisition of a significant interest or change of control of the Company
is conducted in an orderly manner and that any potential acquisition of a significant interest or change of control of the Company which
would be unlikely to treat all members of the Company fairly and in a similar manner would be prevented.

E.
Taxation
The following summary of the material Cayman
and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or ordinary shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations
thereof in effect as of the date of this annual report, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible
tax consequences relating to an investment in the ADSs or ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax
laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, and the United States. To the extent that the discussion
relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Ogier, our Cayman Islands counsel.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summary discusses the material U.S.
federal income tax considerations for the ownership and disposition of our ADSs and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs (collectively,
the "Securities"). This discussion applies only to Securities held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to beneficial owners of our Securities in light of their particular
circumstances, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences, or beneficial owners who are subject to special
rules, such as:
●
financial institutions or financial services entities;
●
insurance companies;
●
government agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
●
regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;
●
expatriates or former residents of the United States;
●
persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;
●
dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of tax accounting with respect to our Securities;
●
persons holding our Securities as part of a "straddle," hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;
●
U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
●
partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors in such entities;
●
holders who are controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies;
●
U.S. holders actually or constructively owning 5% or more of our Securities; or
●
tax-exempt entities.
126
This discussion does not consider the tax treatment
of entities that are partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons who hold our securities
through such entities. If a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is the beneficial owner of our
Securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of partners of the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partners and
the activities of the partner and the partnership. This discussion also does not address or consider the tax treatment of Lion Group North
America Corp.'s (formerly "Proficient Alpha Acquisition Corp") direct or indirect owners.
This discussion is based on the Code, and administrative
pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations all in effect as of the date hereof, changes
to any of which subsequent to the date of this annual report may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not
take into account potential suggested or proposed changes in such tax laws which may impact the discussion below and does not address
any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes. Each of the foregoing is
subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S.
federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
Our ADSs
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders
of our ADSs generally should be treated as the owner of the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares that are represented by such ADSs. Accordingly,
deposits or withdrawals of Class A Ordinary Shares for ADSs should not be subject to United States federal income tax.
Our Tax Treatment
Our Tax Residence for U.S. Federal Income Tax
Purposes
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation
generally will be considered to be resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in its place of organization or incorporation. Accordingly,
under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, we, a Cayman Islands-incorporated entity, would generally be classified
as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident). Section 7874 of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, however, contain specific rules (more fully discussed below) that may cause a non-U.S. corporation to be treated
as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a U.S. corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes under section 7874, we would be liable for U.S. federal income tax on its income like any other U.S. corporation,
and certain distributions made by us to non-U.S. holders of our Securities would be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Taxation
as a U.S. corporation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results from operations. The section 7874 rules
are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties
as to their application.
Under section 7874, a corporation created or organized
outside the United States (i.e., a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (and, therefore, be a U.S. tax resident subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if (1) the non-U.S. corporation
directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including through the
acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of the U.S. corporation), (2) the non-U.S. corporation's expanded affiliated
group does not have substantial business activities in the non-U.S. corporation's country of organization or incorporation
relative to the expanded affiliated group's worldwide activities (the "
substantial business activities test
"),
and (3) the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the stock of the non-U.S. acquiring
corporation after the acquisition by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation, as determined under complex share ownership
rules described below, which are uncertain in their application in many circumstances and are intended to increase the percentage ownership
for these purposes (the "
Ownership Test
"). For this purpose, "expanded affiliated group" generally means
the foreign acquiring corporation and all subsidiary corporations in which such foreign corporation owns, directly or indirectly, more
than 50% of the stock (by vote and value) after the foreign acquiring corporation's acquisition of the assets of the U.S. corporation.
127
In the Business Combination, we indirectly acquired
all of Lion Group North America Corp. (formerly "Proficient Alpha Acquisition Corp.") 's assets through the acquisition
of all of the outstanding Proficient common stock. As a result, the determination of whether we are treated as a U.S. corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes depends on the application of the substantial business activities test and the Ownership Test.
We are not expected to satisfy the substantial
business activities test based on our activities in the Cayman Islands after the completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly,
we must determine whether the Ownership Test has been met.
Based on the complex rules for determining share
ownership under section 7874 and certain factual assumptions and determinations that are uncertain in application, former Proficient stockholders
are expected to be treated as holding less than 80% (by both vote and value) of our stock by reason of their former ownership of Proficient
common stock for these purposes. Therefore, we are not expected to satisfy the Ownership Test, and we are not expected to be treated as
a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under section 7874. However, the application of the Ownership Test is extremely
complex, and the applicable Treasury regulations relating to the Ownership Test are subject to significant uncertainty and there is limited
guidance regarding their application. Moreover, the application of the Ownership Test to the facts and circumstances of the Business Combination
are uncertain. In addition, changes to the rules in section 7874 or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or other changes
in law, could adversely affect our status as a non-U.S. entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to those described above or that a court will not agree with a contrary
position of the IRS in the event of litigation.
Limitation on the Use of Lion Group North America
Corp.'s U.S. Federal Income Tax Attributes
Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation
by a non-U.S. corporation, even if the 80% Ownership Test is not met, section 7874 may apply to limit the ability of the acquired U.S.
corporation, i.e., Proficient, and its U.S. affiliates to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain
tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions. Specifically, if (a) we do not satisfy the "substantial
business activities test" and (b) the former Proficient stockholders are treated as holding, as determined under the Ownership
Test, at least 60% (but less than 80%), by either vote or value, of the shares of ours by reason of holding stock in Proficient (the "
60%
Ownership Test
"), the taxable income of Proficient (and any person related to it) for any given year, within a ten-year period
beginning on the date of the merger, will be no less than that person's "inversion gain" for that taxable year. Lion
Group North America Corp.'s inversion gain includes gain from the transfer of stock or any other property (other than property held
for sale to customers) and income from the license of any property that is either transferred or licensed as part of the transactions,
or, if after the transactions, is transferred or licensed to a non-U.S. related person. Further, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act imposed
additional requirements on a U.S. corporation that has failed the "substantial business activities test" and the 60% Ownership
Test (an "
expatriated entity
"), including that the expatriated entity must include, as base erosion payments that may
be subject to a minimum tax, any amounts treated as reductions in gross income paid to a related foreign person within the meaning of
section 59A of the Code.
Based on the rules under section 7874, it is expected
that the former Proficient stockholders will be treated as having received at least 60% of the vote or value of our stock by reason of
holding shares of Proficient common stock. In such case, Proficient would be subject to the adverse rules described in the preceding paragraph,
as we expanded affiliated group is not expected to meet the "substantial business activities" test in connection with the
Business Combination (see discussion under "
—Our Tax Residence for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
"). Nevertheless,
the application of these rules to Proficient is not expected to have a material impact on us, as Proficient is a special purpose acquisition
corporation with little to no tax attributes, although there can be no assurances in this regard.
The inversion rules in section 7874 are complex
and there is limited guidance regarding their application. No opinion of counsel or IRS ruling has been sought regarding the application
of these rules to the Business Combination. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to those
described above or that a court will not agree with a contrary position of the IRS in the event of litigation. Holders of shares of our
Securities should consult with their independent tax advisors regarding the potential application of section 7874 to the Business Combination.
128
U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a U.S.
holder. A "
U.S. holder
" is a beneficial owner of Securities who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
●
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
●
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
●
an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
●
a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.
ALL HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR
TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL,
FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences
could apply to a U.S. holder if we, or any of our subsidiaries, is treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable
year during which the U.S. holder holds our Securities. A non-U.S. corporation, such as us, will be classified as a PFIC for
U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its
gross income for such year consists of certain types of "passive" income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined
on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally
includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net
foreign currency gains. For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or
more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, we will be treated as if we (a) held a proportionate share
of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation.
Whether we or any of our subsidiaries is treated
as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year
and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty. Among other factors, fluctuations in the market price of our Securities and how, and
how quickly, we use liquid assets and cash obtained in the Business Combination may influence whether we or any of our subsidiaries is
treated as a PFIC. Accordingly, we are unable to determine whether we or any of our subsidiaries will be treated as a PFIC for the taxable
year of the Business Combination or for future taxable years, and there can be no assurance that we or any of our subsidiaries will not
be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. Moreover, we do not expect to provide a PFIC annual information statement for 2020 or going
forward.
If we or any of our subsidiaries were to be treated
as a PFIC, U.S. holders holding our Securities could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to
gain realized on a taxable disposition of such shares and certain distributions received on such shares. Certain elections (including
a mark-to-market election) may be available to U.S. holders to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from
PFIC treatment. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in our
Securities.
129
Controlled Foreign Corporation Rules
Special rules would apply if we or any of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries is classified as a "controlled foreign corporation," or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A
foreign corporation will generally be classified as a CFC if more than 50% of its outstanding shares, measured by reference to voting
power or value, are owned (directly, indirectly or constructively under section 318 of the Code) by "10% U.S. Shareholders."
For this purpose, a "10% U.S. Shareholder" is any U.S. person that owns directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of such foreign corporation. Additionally, as a result of changes introduced by
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, even absent 10% U.S. Shareholders with direct or indirect interests in a foreign corporation, a U.S. subsidiary
of ours alone may cause certain related foreign corporations to be treated as CFCs by reason of "downward attribution." Given
that we are publicly held, the constructive ownership rules under section 318 of the Code may make it difficult to determine whether any
U.S. person is a 10% U.S. Shareholder of ours and our non-U.S. subsidiaries and whether we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is a CFC.
Because we include one or more U.S. subsidiaries (e.g., Proficient), our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs (regardless of
whether we are treated as a CFC), depending on our structure after the Business Combination.
If we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries were
to be classified as a CFC, a 10% U.S. Shareholder must report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of "Subpart
F income," "global intangible low-taxed income" and investments in U.S. property held by CFCs, regardless whether any
distributions are made. In addition, gain on the sale of the CFC stock by a 10% U.S. Shareholder (during the period that the corporation
is a CFC and thereafter for a five-year period) would be classified in whole or in part as a dividend, to the extent of certain of the
CFC's earnings and profits. An individual that is a 10% U.S. Shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain
tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a 10% U.S. Shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with
these reporting and tax paying obligations may subject a 10% U.S. Shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute
of limitations with respect to such shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting.
We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether we or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated
as a CFC or whether any investor is treated as a 10% U.S. Shareholder with respect to any such CFC or furnish to any 10% U.S. Shareholders
information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A United States investor should
consult its tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our Securities.
Taxation of Distributions
A U.S. holder generally will be required to include
in gross income as dividends the amount of any cash distribution paid on our Securities. A cash distribution on such shares generally
will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated
earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate
U.S. holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations
in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations.
Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits
generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. holder's basis in its shares (but not below zero) and any excess, will be
treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described below under "
—U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on
Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities
."
Dividends will generally be treated as income
from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income.
The rules governing the foreign tax credit are
complex and the outcome of their application depends in large part on the U.S. holder's individual facts and circumstances. Accordingly,
U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders,
under tax laws currently in effect and subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, dividends may be subject to the lower applicable long-term
capital gains tax rate (See "
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities
"
below) if our Securities are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States and certain other requirements
are met.
130
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other
Taxable Disposition of Our Securities
Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our
Securities and subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our Securities.
Any such capital gain or loss generally will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for our Securities so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term
capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital
losses is subject to limitations.
Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized
by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any
property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our Securities so disposed of. A U.S.
holder's adjusted tax basis in our Securities generally will equal the U.S. holder's acquisition cost of such share.
Tax Reporting
Individuals and certain domestic entities that
are U.S. holders will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. holder's investment in "specified foreign
financial assets" on IRS Form 8938, subject to certain exceptions. An interest in us constitutes a specified foreign financial asset
for these purposes. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial
penalties. U.S. holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset reporting obligations and their
application to our Securities.
Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a Non-U.S. holder.
A "
Non-U.S. holder
" is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes) of our Securities who or that is not a U.S. holder, including:
●
a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;
●
a foreign corporation; or
●
a foreign estate or trust;
but generally does not include an individual who
is treated as present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you
should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or other disposition of our securities.
Assuming that we are not treated as a domestic
corporation under the rules discussed above or otherwise, dividends (including constructive dividends) paid or deemed paid to a Non-U.S. holder
in respect to our shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with
the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income
tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States). In addition,
a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition
of our Securities unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required
by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United
States). In addition, special rules may apply to a non-U.S. holder that is an individual who was present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met. If you are such an individual, you
should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or other disposition of our securities.
Dividends and gains that are effectively connected
with the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income
tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. holder
that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a
lower applicable tax treaty rate.
131
Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividend payments with respect to our Securities
and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Securities may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S.
backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number
and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. A Non-U.S. holder
generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status,
under penalties of perjury, on a duly-executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts
withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally
may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund
with the IRS and furnishing any required information.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
In certain circumstances, legislation commonly
known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, which is referred to herein as FATCA, imposes a withholding tax of 30% on U.S.-source
interest and dividend income received by certain non-U.S. financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution
(i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in,
and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons or by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or
partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between
the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information
with the U.S. authorities. Similarly, U.S.-source interest and dividends received by a holder that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity
that does not qualify under certain exemptions will generally be subject to withholding at a tax rate of 30%, unless such entity either
(i) certifies that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding
the entity's "substantial United States owners," which the payor will generally be required to provide to the IRS. The
IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that would generally not apply these
withholding requirements to gross proceeds from asset dispositions. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable
foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which the shares of our Securities are held will affect
the determination of whether such withholding is required. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications
of the FATCA rules in their particular situations.
Material Cayman Tax Considerations
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on
individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax
or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties
which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman
Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control
regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of
our ordinary shares and ADSs will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment
of a dividend or capital to any holder of our ordinary shares or the ADSs, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our ordinary shares
or the ADSs be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Value of Bitcoin
Our revenue for the year ended December 31,
2021 was comprised of the value of Bitcoin rewards and transaction fees we earn by mining. As such, our operating results and financial
condition are affected by fluctuations and long-term trends in the value of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has its own unique dynamic in terms
of valuation, reward rates and similar factors. Any of these factors could lead to material adverse changes in the market for Bitcoin,
which could in turn result in substantial damage to or even the failure of our business.
We started Bitcoin mining operations in May 2021
and ceased in October 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our revenue derived from Bitcoin mining was approximately $1.7 million.
A 10% increase or decrease in the market value of Bitcoin over the course of the year ended December 31, 2021, would not have material
impact on our operations. However, given we sell Bitcoin to generate revenue and cover operating expenses, including capital expenditures,
during the year, increases or decreases in the market value of Bitcoin would have resulted in increased or decreased total revenue. See
"— Factors Affecting our Performance — Market Value of Bitcoin."
Market Risk
When we facilitate instant execution of client
trades, we may be subject to market risk if the trade of one client cannot be naturally offset by the trade of another client, in which
case we may act as a principal in trading with the client and take a position. We constantly monitor our exposure to the market against
our pre-determined market risk limit. When our exposure exceeds the limit, we hedge our position to bring our exposure back to the limit.
The market risk limit represents the maximum (long or short) net exposure we will hold without any hedging. In accordance with the methodology
in our risk management policy, we set our market risk limit based on our risk appetite with reference to the expected liquidity and volatility
of the underlying financial products, aiming to achieve an optimal balance among facilitating client's trades, controlling our cost
of hedging and maximizing our daily revenue.
We may also be subject to residual market risk
caused by market gaps, which may occur when a product price changes suddenly in a single large movement, often at the opening of a trading
day, rather than in small incremental steps. In this situation, we may have difficulty adjusting our hedging in a timely manner and thereby
incur a potential loss. We conduct regular scenario-based stress tests that analyze the impact of potential market gap events and take
preventive actions to mitigate the impact caused by residual market risk.
Credit Risk
We have a credit risk management system in place
to evaluate our credit risk. We regularly review our credit policies and set appropriate credit limits for our clients. In determining
the credit limit of a particular client, we consider its investment pattern, the history of its daily closing positions, the types of
products it has previously invested in and the security it has placed with us. We only allow a client to place purchase orders within
its trading limit using cash deposited in its designated account with us. We require the client selling shares to provide necessary documents
evidencing that the shares are deposited with a securities clearing and settlement system of a recognized securities exchange.
We set pre-trade quantity limits and price collars
on individual orders. Our system will detect and reject orders that exceed the specified quantity limits or fall outside of the current
acceptable price range. We also impose intra-day net long or short position limits on our clients to prevent their accumulated positions
from exceeding the clearing company's financially comfortable levels, as well as to halt potentially errant algorithms.
We also measure the pre-settlement credit exposure
and the settlement risk of all our clients to manage our overall credit exposure. We take into account the number of clients with open
positions, the products for which clients have open positions, the concentration of open positions on any given securities and other relevant
factual circumstances. Whenever our overall pre-settlement credit exposure is unusually high on any given day, we investigate the causes
and may reduce the limit on each client in order to control our overall credit exposure. We have forced liquidation policies for our clients.
For futures trading, we force clients to liquidate when their equity to occupied margin ratio falls below 80%; for CFD trading, we force
clients to liquidate when their net worth to occupied margin ratio falls below 50%.
Liquidity Risk
We closely monitor our liquidity position. Our
account department prepares a daily cash position summary and our directors and senior management review this summary to ensure that there
are no cash flow mis-matches. We may arrange for credit facilities when necessary.
Capital Adequacy Risk
We operate in highly regulated industries across
multiple jurisdictions including the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. We are required to hold sufficient regulatory capital at both
group and individual entity level to cover our risk exposures, among other financial obligations imposed by regulatory authorities. We
are required to at all times hold sufficient capital to meet regulatory requirements in all relevant jurisdictions. We assess our capital
requirements through financial projections and stress tests frequently. We also check internal warning indicators and timely escalate
potential capital inadequacy to our senior management for prompt preventive or remedial action.

$0.05 (or less) per ADS
●
Any cash distribution to ADS holders
A fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable if securities distributed to you had been Class A ordinary shares and the Class A ordinary shares had been deposited for issuance of ADSs
●

to ADS holders and the depositary services fee are charged by the depositary bank to the holders of record of ADSs as of the applicable
ADS record date.
The depositary fees payable for cash distributions
are generally deducted from the cash being distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. In the case
of distributions other than cash (i.e., share dividends, rights), the depositary bank charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date
holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or uncertificated
in direct registration), the depositary bank sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage
and custodian accounts (via DTC), the depositary bank generally collects its fees through the systems provided by DTC (whose nominee is
the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians
who hold their clients' ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients' accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary
banks.
In the event of refusal to pay the depositary
fees, the depositary bank may, under the terms of the deposit agreement, refuse the requested service until payment is received or may
set off the amount of the depositary fees from any distribution to be made to the ADS holder.
The depositary may make payments to us or reimburse
us for certain costs and expenses, by making available a portion of the ADS fees collected in respect of the ADR program or otherwise,
upon such terms and conditions as we and the depositary bank agree from time to time.
Payment of Taxes
You will be responsible for any taxes or other
governmental charges payable, or which become payable, on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs. The
depositary may refuse to register or transfer your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until
such taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your ADSs to pay any
taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce
the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to you any net proceeds, or send to you any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.
You agree to indemnify us, the depositary, the custodian and each of our and their respective agents, directors, employees and affiliates
for, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims with respect to taxes (including applicable interest and penalties thereon) arising
from any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained for you. Your obligations under this paragraph
shall survive any transfer of ADRs, any surrender of ADRs and withdrawal of deposited securities or the termination of the deposit agreement.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Based upon that evaluation, our management has
concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
Our internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America and
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of
our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our company's assets that could
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and related rules as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, our management including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the
criteria set forth in the report "
Internal Control— Integrated Framework (2013)
" published by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
Because we are an emerging growth company, this
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes
in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended
December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 16.G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
As a Cayman Islands exempted company listed on
the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Rule 5615(a)(3) of The Listing Rules
of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Nasdaq Rules") permits foreign private issuers like us to follow certain home country corporate
governance practices in lieu of certain provisions of the Rule 5600 Series of the Nasdaq Rules. A foreign private issuer that elects to
follow a home country practice instead of such provisions, must disclose in its annual reports each requirement that it does not follow
and describe the home country practice followed by it. Our current corporate governance practices differ from Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements for U.S. companies in certain respects, as summarized below:
●
Executive Sessions. IM5605-2 of Nasdaq Rules requires independent directors of a Nasdaq listed company must meet regularly in executive session (without members of management present), and such executive sessions should occur at least twice a year. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices which do not require independent directors to meet regularly in executive sessions separate from the full board of directors.
●
Nomination of Directors. Rule 5605(e)(2) of Nasdaq Rules requires director nominations of a Nasdaq listed company to be made or recommended solely by independent directors and the director nominations process be addressed by a formal written charter or board resolution. We follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require us to have a formal written charter addressing the director nominations process.
●
Composition of Board. Rule 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Rules requires a Nasdaq listed company to have a majority of the board be independent. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices do not require a majority independent board.
●
Composition of Committees. Rule 5605(d)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules requires a Nasdaq listed company to have a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors to determine or recommend the compensation of the executive officers of the company. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which practices do not require that any of the members of a company's compensation committee be independent directors.
●
Shareholder Approval. Rule 5635(c) requires shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities. In this regard we have elected to adopt the practices of our home country. In accordance with the provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors is authorized to issue securities, including ordinary shares, preferred shares, warrants and convertible notes.

of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group's consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LION
GROUP HOLDING LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization and Principal Activities
Lion Group Holding Ltd. (the "Company",
"Lion" or "LGHL") is a company with limited liability registered as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands.
The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as the "Group") provide securities, futures and derivatives brokerage services, insurance brokerage services,
total return swap trading services, and market maker trading services. As a result of the transaction described below, the Company's
ordinary shares and warrants started to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbols LGHL and LGHLW, respectively on
June 17, 2020. Each American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of the Company represents one Class A ordinary share.
Reverse Recapitalization
The Company was incorporated on February 11, 2020
for the sole purpose of consummating the business combination described further below. A business combination agreement dated March 10,
2020, as amended and restated on May 12, 2020 (the "Business Combination Agreement"), was entered into by and among the Company,
Proficient Alpha Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation ("PAAC"), Lion MergerCo I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger Sub"), Lion Financial Group Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the
British Virgin Islands ("LFGL"), each of the holders of LFGL's outstanding capital shares (collectively, the "Sellers")
and the other parties thereto (collectively, the "Business Combination"). The exchange consideration was approximately $
131.3
million.
On June 16, 2020, the Company consummated the
Business Combination (the "Closing") and each of PAAC and LFGL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company
became a new public company owned by the prior stockholders of PAAC and the prior shareholders of LFGL, where each outstanding share of
PAAC common stock has been exchanged for one Class A ordinary share of the Company, each outstanding warrant of PAAC has been exchanged
for one warrant of the Company and each outstanding right of PAAC has been exchanged for one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share
of the Company, resulting in
4,507,574
Class A ordinary shares and
17,795,000
warrants being issued to PAAC stockholders;
and where
the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of LFGL, i.e. 50,000 ordinary shares of LFGL from each of
LFGL shareholders, in exchange for 12,891,602 ordinary shares (including 3,140,388 Class A and 9,751,214 Class B, "Exchange
Shares") of the Company, valued at a price per share equal to the price at which each share of PAAC common stock was redeemed, i.e.
$10.185 per share.
The Business Combination was accounted for as
a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, LGHL and
PAAC are treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purpose. This determination was primarily based on LFGL
comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, LFGL's senior management comprising the senior management of the combined
company, and LFGL's stockholders having a majority of the voting power of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes,
LFGL is deemed the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The transaction is not a business combination because neither PAAC nor LGHL
was a business under ASC 805. Consequently, the transaction is treated as the equivalent of LFGL issuing stock for the net monetary assets
of PAAC, accompanied by a recapitalization of LFGL. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of LFGL
are the historical financial statements of the combined company, and LGHL and PAAC's assets, liabilities and results of operations
are consolidated with LFGL beginning on June 16, 2020.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared
as a continuation of the financial statements of LFGL, the acquirer and predecessor, with retrospective adjustments to give effect of
the reverse recapitalization. The equity is restated using the exchange ratio of
141.81
established in the reverse recapitalization
transaction, which is
7,090,381
(the number of Exchange Shares excluding Escrow Shares, see below) divided by
50,000
, to
reflect the equity structure of the legal acquirer, LGHL. Earnings (loss) per share is retrospectively restated using the historical weighted-average
number of ordinary shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio.
F-
9
The par value of ordinary shares was adjusted
retrospectively from $0 to $709, and the difference of $709 was adjusted retrospectively as additional paid-in capital as of January 1,
2018.
The consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were
also adjusted retrospectively to reflect this change. Upon the consummation of the reverse recapitalization, the assets and liabilities
of PAAC were recognized at fair value. The fair value of cash and short-term liabilities acquired approximates their historical costs
due to their short maturity. After the redemption of ordinary shares of PAAC before the closing of the Business Combination, the net assets
acquired by the Company were in the amount of $
171,357
(as restated), which were recorded as a decrease in additional paid-in capital.
Assets and liabilities of PAAC upon the consummation of the reverse recapitalization are as follows:
Cash
$
2,476,198
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
209
Warrant liabilities
(
2,247,087
)
Accrued expenses
(
57,963
)
Net assets acquired by LGHL as of June 16, 2020
$
171,357
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group
incurred approximately $
2.4
million of direct and incremental transaction costs, consisting of legal, accounting and financial consulting
services directly associated with the reverse recapitalization. In accordance with SEC reporting guidance with regards to an operating
company's reverse acquisition with a nonoperating company having some cash, transaction costs incurred for the reverse acquisition,
such as legal fees, investment banking fees and the like, may be charged directly to equity to the extent of the cash received, while
all costs in excess of cash received should be charged to expense. Accordingly, the Group charged transaction costs of approximately $
2.4
million
to additional paid in capital in the consolidated financial statements.
1,933,740
Class B ordinary shares being
15
%
of the Exchange Shares ("Indemnity Escrow Shares") otherwise issuable to LFGL shareholders are set aside in escrow for a period
of 24 months after the closing to satisfy any post-closing purchase price adjustment and indemnification claims prescribed in the Business
Combination Agreement.
Additionally, 3,876,481 Class B ordinary shares being 30% of the Exchange Shares (the "Earnout
Escrow Shares", together with any dividends, distributions or other income on the Earnout Escrow Shares, the "Earnout Escrow
Property") otherwise issuable to LFGL shareholders are set aside in escrow until released upon the satisfaction of certain financial
milestones below:
●
In the event that the net income for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Net Income"), as set forth in LGHL's audited financial statements, is equal to or greater than $19,000,000 (the "First Net Income Target"), then, the Class B Sellers' rights to 50% of the Earnout Escrow Property (the "First Half Earnout Property") shall vest and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture. If the 2021 Net Income is less than the First Net Income Target, but is equal to or greater than $9,500,000, then the Sellers' rights to 50% of the First Half Earnout Property shall vest and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture. In all other cases, the First Half Earnout Property will be forfeited.
●
In the event that the net income for the calendar year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Net Income"), as set forth in LGHL's audited financial statements, is equal to or greater than $21,850,000 (the "Second Net Income Target"), then the Class B Sellers' rights to the remaining Earnout Escrow Property (after giving effect to any forfeitures for the 2021 calendar year, the "Second Half Earnout Property") shall vest and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture. If the 2022 Net Income is less than the Second Net Income Target, but is equal to or greater than $10,925,000, then the Class B Sellers' rights to 50% of the Second Half Earnout Property shall vest and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture. In all other cases, the Second Half Earnout Property will be forfeited.
Principal Activities
The Group generates commission revenues by enabling
its customers to trade in securities, futures and derivative markets throughout the world. The Group's trading customers consist
of corporate clients, individual traders and retail investors primarily located in People's Republic of China ("PRC")
and Southeast Asia, although its trading platform allows it to serve customers worldwide.
F-
10
The Group also generates commission revenues by
providing insurance brokerage services to high-net-worth individuals primarily located in the PRC.
In May 2019, the Group began to serve as
the counterparty to its customers in derivative transactions. This predominantly occurs when a customer utilizes a contract for difference
(CFD). CFDs allow for the exchange of the difference in value of a particular asset such as a currency pair between the time at which
a contract is opened and the time at which it is closed. If the trades of one customer can be used to naturally offset the trades of another
customer, the Group will act as the market maker to offer liquidity and pricing to both customers. When such an offsetting is not available,
the Group may choose to use its own trades to offset the trades of its customer, and the Group may also act as a broker in arranging trades
between the customer and third-party market makers.
The Group officially began offering total return
swap (TRS) trading services to customers in July 2020. The Group has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association
(ISDA) master agreements and related supplementary agreements with two of the top five swap traders in China. The Group is currently offering
A-shares (shares that are denominated in Renminbi and traded in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange) and Hong Kong
stock basket linked TRS, which provides international investors seeking to invest in the China stock market with higher leverage compared
with buying A-share stocks directly. The Group earns income from the spread on interest rate loans provided to TRS trading customers and
loans borrowed from its business partners. In addition, the Group also receives commissions and fees from customers for trades made through
the TRS trading service.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021
and 2020, no trading customers accounted for more than
10
% of its total revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and
2020, one clearing broker accounted for
72
%,
61
%, and
73
%, respectively, of the Group's total commissions expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and
2020, the Group placed 79% (13% of total revenue in 2022), 77% (2% of total revenue in 2021), and 77% (7% of total revenue in 2020), respectively,
of its insurance brokerage sales with one insurance provider.
The Group commenced bitcoin mining operations
in late May 2021 and voluntarily ceased the operation since October 2021 as a result of the hiked electricity cost as well as the change
in the regulatory environment in the PRC.
In January 2022, the Group launched the non-fungible
token, or NFT, business through Flying Lion Limited, including (i) issuance of MetaWords character NFTs and MetaWords work NFTs (collectively,
the "MetaWords NFTs"), and (ii) the establishment of the NFT trading platform, namely the Lion NFT platform (f/k/a/ Meta World).
The Group created and minted the MetaWords NFTs by converting Xu Bing's characters in his artwork
Book from the Ground
and
sold MetaWords NFTs to the NFT collectors. The sales were conducted through an online auction or blind boxes direct sell on the Lion NFT
platform.
The subsidiaries of the Company include a participant
of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("SEHK") and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited ("HKSCC"),
remote trading member of Singapore Exchange Limited ("SGX"), and member of the Professional Insurance Brokers Association
Limited ("PIBA"); possess the licenses issued by Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission ("HKSFC") to
carry out regulated activities including Type 1 Dealing in Securities, Type 2 Dealing in Futures Contracts, Type 4 Advising on Securities,
Type 5 Advising on Futures Contracts, and Type 9 Asset Management, the full license issued by Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA")
to carry out securities investment business including Broker Dealer and Market Maker, and the Capital Markets Service License ("CMS
License") issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
COVID-19
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has
subsequently spread worldwide. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. In the fiscal year of
2021, some instances of COVID-19 infections emerged in various regions worldwide. Governments around the globe have taken measures to
contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including quarantining individuals infected with or suspected of having COVID-19, prohibiting
residents from free travel, encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling public activities, among others.
COVID-19 has also resulted in temporary closure of many corporate offices and factories around the world. In addition, as the outbreak
continues to threaten global economies, it may continue to cause significant market volatility and declines in general economic activities.
Since December 2021, there has been a recurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks in China and Hong Kong due to the Delta and Omicron variants. During
the year of 2022, other countries in the world lifted COVID travel restrictions, while China sticked to its stringent COVID control and
prevention measures, resulting in a series of regional lockdowns amid a sharp spike in COVID cases until they started to exit from zero
COVID strategy in the last month of 2022. Like most companies, the Group's various business lines have been adversely impacted by
COVID-19. CFD trading volume and futures contract volumes decreased significantly since the beginning of 2020, which was mainly attributable
to economic and financial impact brought about by COVID-19 on the Group's customers, causing a decrease in both their willingness
to trade and make investments as well as their disposable income allocated making such transactions. Furthermore, customers' concerns
about future unpredictability also caused their trading activity to decline, impacting the Group's CFD trading business in particular.
In addition, travel restrictions in Hong Kong caused cancellations and prevented management from attending branding, business promotion,
and exhibition activities, which limited the opportunities to acquire new customers. Meanwhile, the Group's futures and insurance
brokerage businesses were negatively affected as new or existing customers may not be able to travel to Hong Kong to open new futures
trading accounts or purchase insurance products. At the end of 2022 and in the beginning of 2023, China was seeing COVID infections to
surge rapidly as the border controls, travel and social restrictions were relaxed. Although the cases worldwide subdued, WHO has not declared
an end to the COVID-19 pandemic yet. Given the uncertainties surrounding the duration of the outbreak, the Group cannot reasonably estimate
the related financial impact to its future financial results. The Group continues to closely monitor the impact and navigate the significant
challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. No impairments were recorded as of the consolidated balance sheet date, as the carrying amounts
of the Group's assets are expected to be recoverable.

The Company is an "emerging growth company,"
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart
our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the "JOBS Act"), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act
exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies
(that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company's financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. A subsidiary is an entity (including
a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for
the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in consolidation. The Group consolidates
the loss of the subsidiaries and subtracts the net loss that is attributable to the non-controlling interest holders in calculating the
net income (loss) that is attributable to the Group.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The functional currency is the U.S. dollar for
the Group's Cayman Island operations, Singapore dollars for Singapore entity, and the Hong Kong dollar for all other Group
operations. The Group's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at year-end exchange rates, income statement accounts are translated at average rates of exchange for the year and equity is translated
at historical exchange rates. Any translation gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting
from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits
with banks and all highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less, that are not segregated and deposited for regulatory
purposes. The Group does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The Group maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts
which at times may exceed insured limits. The Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Group only has one bank account
with U.S. bank subject to FDIC insurance and its balance was immaterial. Management believes that the Group is not exposed to any significant
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash — Bank Balances
Held on Behalf of Customers
The Group maintains segregated trust accounts
with licensed banks or payment platform to hold customer funds in accordance with the relevant legislation. The Group has classified customer
funds as bank balances held on behalf of customers with a corresponding payable to customers in the liabilities section of the consolidated
balance sheets.
Securities Owned and Derivatives
The Group's proprietary trading securities
transactions are recorded on the trade date, as if they had settled.
Securities, futures and derivative positions are
recorded at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820").
Receivables
Receivables arise from the business of dealing
in investment securities, futures and derivatives and include the amounts due on brokerage transactions on a trade-date basis. Broker-dealers
will require balances to be placed with them in order to cover the positions taken by its customers. Clearing house receivables typically
represent proceeds receivable on trades that have yet to settle and are usually collected within two days.
Receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations
as presented in the consolidated balance sheets represent such receivables related to the Group's customer trading activities, including
customers' cash deposits, receivables arising from unsettled trades in securities, futures and CFD trading service, and receivables
arising from the Group's TRS trading service in an amount generally equal to the market value of A-shares. Receivables from broker-dealers
and clearing organizations include such receivables arising from the Group's proprietary trading activities as well.
Commissions receivable represent commissions due
from trading activities and from insurance providers once referrals have been made and the transactions have been executed under the terms
of the relevant insurance policy or subscription agreement. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, commissions receivable amounted to $
35,805
and
$
32,463
, respectively, are included in the line item "prepaids, deposits and other" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Crypto Currency Machines
Management has assessed the basis of depreciation
of the Group's crypto currency machines used to verify crypto currency transactions and generate crypto currencies and believes
they should be depreciated over a 3-year period. The rate at which the Group generates digital assets and, therefore, consumes the economic
benefits of its transaction verification servers are influenced by a number of factors including the following:
●
the complexity of the transaction verification process which is driven by the algorithms contained within the bitcoin open source software;
●
the general availability of appropriate computer processing capacity on a global basis (commonly referred to in the industry as hashing capacity which is measured in Petahash units); and
●
technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development in the transaction verification server industry such that more recently developed hardware is more economically efficient to run in terms of digital assets generated as a function of operating costs, primarily power costs i.e. the speed of hardware evolution in the industry is such that later hardware models generally have faster processing capacity combined with lower operating costs and a lower cost of purchase.
The Group operates in an emerging industry for
which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives of specialized equipment. Property and equipment are
stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. This assessment takes into consideration the management's expectations regarding the direction of the industry including
potential changes in technology.
To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying
management's estimate of useful life of its transaction verification servers are subject to revision in a future reporting period
either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data then the estimated useful life
could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets. During the year ended December
31, 2022, the Company fully impaired and disposed of the mining equipment in an amount of approximately $
1.7
million, resulting from the
stumbled Bitcoin price and the change in the regulatory environment in the PRC.
F-

Prepaids, deposits and other
Prepaids, deposits and other consists of prepaid
services, insurance, stock-based compensations, commission receivable and others. Balances of prepaids, deposits and other were $
2,534,684
and $
8,741,735
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NFT - Intangible assets
Due to the lack of physical substance, the Group
considers MetaWords NFTs that the Group created meet the definition of intangible assets and would generally be accounted for under ASC
350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. The useful life is indefinite according to ASC 350-30-35-4. The Group understands that there
is no clear guidance either authoritative or nonauthoritative on the accounting treatment of NFTs yet. In the cases in which the Group
shall account for the initial recognition of NFTs on balance sheet, it considers the following applicable guidance:
ASC 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than
Goodwill
ASC 985-20, Software to be sold, leased, or
otherwise marketed
By analogy to the guidance above, capitalization
of the costs commences on the establishment of technological feasibility (i.e. the completion of a working model) and ceases when the
NFTs are made available for release to customers. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. Instead, they are tested for impairment
annually or upon a triggering event that indicates it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The impairment test under ASC
350 is a one-step test that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the fair value is less than the
carrying value, an impairment is recorded. Once the intangible asset is impaired, the impairment loss is not reversed if the fair value
subsequently increases.
As of December 31, 2022, the Group considers the
value of the NFTs held on hand is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. In accordance with the accounting
policies mentioned above, the Group initially capitalized the costs of NFTs in intangible assets which primarily included the gas fees,
the blockchain transaction fee paid to network validators for their services, in an aggregate of less than $
1,000
, and subsequently determined
to fully impair. Gas fees were paid by BNB tokens and measured at the fair value of the tokens on the date paid. As a result, as of December
31, 2022, the carrying value of NFTs included in intangible assets was zero.
For NFTs held by users, the Group does not provide
custody services either directly or indirectly, and neither it has control of these digital assets nor does it have any related liability.
They are off-balance sheet in the Group's financial statements.
Fixed Assets, Net
Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of
three
to
ten
years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the economic useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease.
Equity Investments
Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
In accordance with ASC
321 Investment—Equity Securities, for those equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the Group elects to record
these investments at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable price changes. Under this measurement
alternative, changes in the carrying value of the equity investment are required to be made whenever there are observable price changes
in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
Pursuant to ASC 321, for those equity investments
that the Group elects to use the measurement alternative, the Group makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired
at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Group estimates the investment's
fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment's carrying value, the Group
recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.
F-
16
Impairment of Long-lived
Assets
Long-lived assets are
evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will
impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter
than the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment by comparing carrying value of the
assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition.
If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment
loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets.
Other Assets
Other assets primarily comprised of long-term
portion of the value of January 2021 Call Options issued for service (see Note 14 for detail).
Payables
Payables arise from the business of dealing in
investment securities, futures and derivatives. Payables to customers as presented in the consolidated balance sheets represent such payables
related to the Group's customer trading activities as well as the cash balances held on behalf of customers.
The Group borrows loans from business partners
at benchmark interest rate plus a fixed spread, and immediately lent to TRS trading service customers. Net loans borrowed from TRS business
partners are included in the line item "payables to broker-dealers and clearing organizations". As of December 31, 2022 and
2021, the balance of payables to broker-dealers and clearing organizations was primarily comprised of such net loans.
Commissions payable mainly represent amounts owed
to referral sources of insurance brokerage business outside of the Group for transactions referred based on the terms of the underlying
agreements. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, commissions payable amounted to $
47,359
and $
26,801
, respectively and are included
in the line item "accrued expenses and other payables" in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 3 for details.
Commissions and Fees
Commissions and fees related to securities, derivative
and TRS trading transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Commissions expense on insurance products are recognized on the closing
date of a transaction as determined by the terms of the relevant contract and insurance policy.
Convertible Securities, Warrants and Derivative
Instruments
The accounting treatment of warrants and convertible
securities issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), as applicable. Each feature of freestanding financial instruments including,
without limitation, any rights relating to subsequent dilutive issuances, equity sales, rights offerings, conversions, optional redemptions
and dividends are assessed with determinations made regarding the proper classification in the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
The Company evaluates all of its equity-linked
financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815. The classification of derivative instruments, including
whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity and whether embedded derivative shall be bifurcated from the host
instrument and separately accounted for as a derivative, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative assets and liabilities
are recorded at fair value at inception and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated
statements of operations.
On January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 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) ("ASU 2020-06)". The new ASU eliminates
the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain
contracts in an entity's own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In
addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares
impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible
to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 in the first interim period of 2022 using the modified retrospective
method which resulted in a reclassification of the unamortized portion of the beneficial conversion feature from additional paid-in capital
to Series B Preferred shares on the consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share", which requires earnings per share for each class of stock (ordinary
shares and participating securities) to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between
the holders of ordinary shares and a company's participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting
period are allocated between ordinary shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed
earnings. As the Company's two classes of ordinary shares have the same dividend rights, earnings (loss) per share for each class
of ordinary shares have the same results.
Basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share is computed
by dividing net income or loss available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding
for the periods. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the December 2020 Convertible Debenture (as discussed in Note 12)
which was fully converted into the Company's Class A ordinary shares, as represented by ADSs in the first half of 2021 and
the December 2020 Series A Warrant (as discussed in Note 12) which was exercised into the Company's Class A
ordinary shares, as represented by ADSs in the first half of 2021, have the same dividend rights as the ordinary shares on an as-converted
and as-exercised basis, and therefore qualify as participating securities for the period they were outstanding in accordance with ASC 260.
The holders of Convertible Debenture and Series A Warrant do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company's losses,
therefore participating securities are excluded from the calculation of loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 in which there were losses available to ordinary shareholders.
In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, the
3,867,481
Class B
of Earnout Escrow Shares are considered contingently returnable shares and therefore are excluded from the computation of basic earnings
(loss) per share for all periods presented (on a retroactively adjusted basis). Since June 16, 2021, 50% of
1,933,740
Class B of Indemnity
Escrow Shares was included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share and the remaining 50% was included starting from June
16, 2022.
For purposes of determining diluted earnings (loss)
per ordinary share, basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares consist of the incremental ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants using
the treasury stock method and upon conversion of convertible debt using the if-converted method.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021
and 2020 (on a retroactively adjusted basis), the following potential dilutive securities denominated in ordinary shares equivalents were
excluded for the periods they were outstanding from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because to do so would have been
antidilutive. As a result, diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share for all
periods presented.

Non-controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests are presented in
the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Group. Income attributable to non-controlling
interests' holders is presented on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
(loss) as an allocation of the total income for the periods between non-controlling interests holders and the shareholders of the Group.
Under ASC 810-10-15-10(a), Consolidation, all majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., all companies in which a parent has a controlling financial
interest through direct or indirect ownership of a majority voting interest) must be consolidated unless control does not rest with
the majority owner. The Group owns
50
% of Lion Metaverse Limited ("LML") and controls the board of directors. Therefore,
the Group has a controlling financial interest in LML and LML is consolidated in the consolidated financial statements.
On May 7, 2021, Lion NFT Limited ("LNFT")
was formed by Lion Financial Group Limited ("LFGL") and three other shareholders in British Virgin Islands. LFGL owned
60
%
of equity interest of LNFT upon incorporation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, LNFT borrowed a total of $
600,000
from its
shareholders in the form of shareholder loans. On October 8, 2021, LFGL acquired
30
% additional equity interest in LNFT for a total
cash consideration of $
200,000
from two of the minority shareholders.
Reclassification
Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified
to be comparable to the current period presentation. The reclassification has no effect on previously reported net assets or net income
(loss).
Stock-based Compensation
The Company applies ASC No. 718, "Compensation-Stock
Compensation", which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees and nonemployees upon adoption of ASU 2018-07,
be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service
period, with a corresponding addition to equity. Under this method, compensation cost related to employee share options or similar equity
instruments is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the period during which an employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.
The fair value of the Company's ordinary
shares underlying stock-based awards is determined to be based on the closing price of the Company's shares as reported by Nasdaq
on the date of grant. The Company values its stock options or warrants that have service vesting requirements or performance-based awards
with or without market conditions using the Binomial Option Pricing Model.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed
in the period when incurred. These costs primarily consist of designing, coding, project management, and other IT services related
to developing and enhancing the project.
Income Taxes
The amount of current taxes payable or refundable
is recognized as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates of the relevant
authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits based on applicable tax rates.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax expenses or benefits are recognized in the consolidated financial statements
for the changes in deferred tax liabilities or assets between years.
F-
19
The Group recognizes the effect of income tax
positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest
amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in
which the change in judgment occurs. The Group presents any interest or penalties related to an underpayment of income taxes as part of
its income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income
by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company.
Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company's financial statement.
The Company may be subject to potential examination
by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount
of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.
Leases
On January 1, 2022, the Group adopted FASB ASC
Topic 842, "Leases," ("ASC Topic 842") which requires that a lessee recognize in the consolidated balance sheet
a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset, including for those leases that the Group currently classifies as operating
leases. The right-of-use asset and the lease liability was initially measured using the present value of the remaining lease payments.
ASC Topic 842 was implemented using a modified retrospective approach which resulted in no cumulative-effect adjustment in the opening
balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2022. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2022 was not restated
and continues to be reported under FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases," ("ASC Topic 840"), which did not require the
recognition of a right-of-use asset or lease liability for operating leases.
The Group reviews all relevant contracts to determine
if the contract contains a lease at its inception date. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys to the Group the right to
control the use of an underlying asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the Group determines that a contract contains
a lease, it recognizes, in the consolidated balance sheets, a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the commencement
date of the lease. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term using
the rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, the Group's secured incremental borrowing rate. An operating lease
right-of-use asset is initially measured at the value of the lease liability minus any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred
plus any prepaid rent.
Each lease liability is measured using the Group's
secured incremental borrowing rate. The Group's leases have remaining terms of
two
to
three
years
, and some of which include options
to terminate the lease upon notice. The Group considers these options when determining the lease term used to calculate the right-of-use
asset and the lease liability when the Group is reasonably certain it will exercise such option.
The Group's operating leases contain both
lease components and non-lease components. Non-lease components are distinct elements of a contract that are not related to securing the
use of the underlying assets, such as common area maintenance and other management costs. The Company elected to measure the lease liability
by combining the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. As such, the Company includes the fixed payments and any
payments that depend on a rate or index that relate to the lease and non-lease components in the measurement of the lease liability. Some
of the non-lease components are variable in nature and not based on an index or rate, and as a result, are not included in the measurement
of the operating lease right-of-use assets or operating lease liability.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term and is included in occupancy expenses in the Group's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, FASB amended guidance related
to impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost
basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted
from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the
financial asset. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit
exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual rights to receive
cash. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, the ASU on credit losses will take effect for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this ASU through
a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective
(that is, a modified-retrospective approach). In May 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial instrument — Credit Losses (Topic
326), Targeted Transition Relief, which provides an irrevocably fair value option to elect for eligible instruments. In November 2019,
FASB issued ASU 2019-11 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which clarified and improved
various aspects of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend private companies, not-for-profit organizations,
and certain small public companies effective date on its credit losses (CECL) standards to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022
and interim periods therein. The Group has evaluated the effect of the adoption of this ASU and does not expect there will be significant
impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance.
Note 3 — Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in exchange for an amount
that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to and in return for transferring those goods or services.
Significant Judgments
Revenue from contracts with customers include
commission income from securities, futures and derivative brokerage, market making trading and insurance brokerage. The recognition and
measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether
performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations
are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented
gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.
Commissions and Fees
The Group earns fees and commissions from securities,
futures and derivatives brokerage services (including commissions and fees related to TRS trading business) and CFD trading services when
the Group acts as a market maker. Each time a customer executes a securities, futures, derivative or CFD transaction, commissions and
fees are earned. Commissions and related clearing fees and expenses are recorded on the trade date. The performance obligation is satisfied
on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and
the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. The Group charges securities brokerage commissions and
market making commissions based on amount of transaction volume, or the number of shares, lots of contracts executed in each order, which
generally vary in accordance with the type of products or services the Group offers.
The Group also earns commission income arising
from insurance brokerage services which are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied by successfully
referring an insurance client to an insurer in accordance with the relevant broker contract. The commission earned is equal to a percentage
of the premium paid to the insurance provider.

Interest Income and Other
Interest income primarily consist of interests
earned on bank deposits and short-term loans the Group extends to unrelated third parties, interest rate difference between currency pairs
the Group hold resulting from rolling over currency positions and interest earned from loans provided to TRS trading customers, which
are recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.
Other income primarily consists of the dividends
income, transaction fee, advisory service fee, government subsidy and other miscellaneous charges from customers etc.
NFT Sales
The Group determines revenue recognition generated
in the Group's NFT business through the following steps in accordance with ASC 606-10-05-4:
●
Step
1 - Identify the contract, or contracts, with the customer
A contract exists between the Group and platform
user customers. When the users log in their accounts with the platform, users sign on the agreement which governs, among others, the purchase
of digital assets. When the users submit the purchase order and sign the transaction in their digital wallet, they agree to enter the
transaction and to pay the price listed. Collectability is probable because the transaction can only be completed when the available Wrapped
Binance Coin or Binance Coin balance in their digital wallet is greater than the sale price.
●
Step
2 - Identify the performance obligations in the contract
There are two performance obligations including
the transfer of MetaWords character NFTs and the transfer of a license of symbolic intellectual property ("IP") associated
with MetaWords to user customers. The Group considers itself the principal in the transfer of MetaWords character NFTs as it controls
the MetaWords NFTs in advance of transferring to customers, and revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
●
Step
3 - Determine the transaction price
In exchange for transferring certain MetaWords
NFTs to customers, the Group is entitled for a fixed number of WBNB/BNB tokens, net of the incentive consideration payable to customers
which were noncash consideration that the Group measures at the fair value of the tokens on the date received and accounted for as a reduction
of the transaction price in accordance with the guidance in ASC 606-10-32-25. Fair value of the WBNB/BNB tokens received is determined
using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt, which is not materially different from the fair value at
contract inception.
In exchange for a license of IP, the Group is
entitled to consideration in the form of sales-based royalties (i.e. authorization fee and licensing fee when applicable), and recognizes
revenue as the subsequent sales occur in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65.
F-
23
●
Step
4 - Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
As a result of applying the sales- or usage-based
royalty exception, the allocation of the transaction price in the sale of Company's MetaWords NFTs by the Group is not necessary.
●
Step
5 - Recognize revenue when, or as, the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised good or services.
Revenue in exchange for transferring MetaWords
NFTs is recognized for each sale at the point when the NFT transfers to the user customer's digital wallet. Revenue in exchange
for license of IP is recognized as the subsequent sales occur.
In addition, as the marketplace the Group earns
revenue as transaction fee when NFTs are exchanged on the Group's platform. The Group considers itself the agent in the MetaWords Resale
as it doesn't control the MetaWords NFTs in advance of transferring to buyers, and revenue is recognized on a net basis as a specific
percentage of the gross sale value. The revenue is recognized for each exchange when the NFT transfers to the buyer. The transaction fees
abovementioned to such MetaWords Resale were de minimis as of December 31, 2022.
Crypto Currencies Mining
The Group recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
●
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
●
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
●
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
In order to identify the performance obligations
in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or
service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606's definition of a "distinct" good or service (or bundle
of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or
together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and
the entity's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract
(i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).
If a good or service is not distinct, the good
or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.
F-
24
The transaction price is the amount of consideration
to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised
in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity
must consider the effects of all of the following:
●
Variable consideration
●
Constraining estimates of variable consideration
●
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract
●
Noncash consideration
●
Consideration payable to a customer
Variable consideration is included in the transaction
price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance
obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized
when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.
Providing computing power in digital asset transaction
verification services is an output of the Group's ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only
performance obligation in the Group's contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Group receives, if
any, is noncash consideration, which the Group measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the
fair value at contract inception or the time the Group has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because
it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining
pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Group receives confirmation of the consideration
it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received
is determined using the quoted closing price of the related cryptocurrency at the date of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive
guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management
has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment.

Note 5 — Fair Value
Fair Value Hierarchy
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. Fair value is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value
measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability
or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income
or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.
F-
25
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
●
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.
●
Level 2 are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly.
●
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.
The availability of observable inputs can vary
from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of
markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less
observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment
exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall
into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety.
A description of the valuation techniques applied
to the Group's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Exchange-traded equity securities and futures
are generally valued based on quoted prices at the close of trading on the period end date. To the extent these securities and futures
are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied, and they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise,
they are categorized in level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Listed derivatives that are actively traded are
valued based on quoted prices at the close of trading on the period end date and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Listed derivatives that are not actively traded are valued using the same approaches as those applied to over-the-counter ("OTC")
derivatives; they are generally categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Depending on the product and the terms of the
transaction, the fair value of OTC derivative products can be either observed or modeled using a series of techniques and model inputs
from comparable benchmarks. Substantially all of the Group's OTC derivatives were carried at fair value based on spot exchange rates
broadly distributed in active markets, or amounts approximating fair value. Such values are categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The significant assumptions which the Company
used to value the options in the Monte-Carlo Simulation model are as below. There were no outstanding options as of December 31, 2022.

and
$
26,000
, respectively, to Lanlian without recourse as payment for the purchase price, and such notes were fully settled. No gains or losses

.
Note 7 — Long-term Investment
In May 2021, the Group formed Lion Group
(Hangzhou) Investment Limited and invested RMB
10,000,000
($
1,550,000
) to purchase
25
% of the equity interest in Hangzhou
Qianlan Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) ("Qianlan"). Qianlan, a limited partner of Hangzhou Tunlan
Hongyi Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) ("Tunlan Hongyi"), holds
62
% of equity interest in Tunlan Hongyi
(a private equity fund with total investment of RMB
64,500,000
which invested in Shenzhen Yuhe Chuangzhi Technology Limited
Company).
In accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, investments
in certain funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value may qualify for the use of the net asset value (NAV) per share as
a practical expedient, if the net asset value per share of the investment is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles
of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity's measurement date. This practical expedient can be applied on an investment-by-investment
basis, and it is an accounting policy election and should be applied consistently from period to period, unless a change is preferable.
In addition, ASC 321 offers a measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values and allows some
entities to elect to record these investments at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent price changes in orderly transactions
for identical or similar investment of the same issuer. An entity elects the measurement alternative on an investment by investment basis.
Once elected, it should be applied to an investment consistently as long as the investment meets the qualifying criteria.
F-
29
In 2021, Group classified the investment to long
term investment and elected to use the NAV per share as a practical expedient. As of December 31, 2022, the Group reassessed that such
investment did not qualify for practical expedient anymore and elected to use ASC 321 measurement alternative. For the year ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, no gain or loss related to the long term investment was recognized.

Note 10 — Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments used for trading
purposes are carried at fair value. Fair values for exchange-traded derivatives, principally futures and certain options, are based on
quoted market prices. Fair values for OTC derivative financial instruments, principally CFDs are based on spot exchange rates broadly
distributed in active markets, OTC option contracts are based on stock price and stock volatility.
Factors taken into consideration in estimating
the fair value of OTC derivatives include market liquidity, concentrations, and funding and administrative costs incurred.
The Group does not apply hedge accounting as defined
in ASC 815, because all financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair values reflected in earnings. Therefore,
certain of the disclosures required under ASC 815 are generally not applicable with respect to these financial instruments.
As discussed in Note 1, the Group's derivative
trading activity primarily relates to situations where it assumes the role of a market maker or a counter party in its customers'
CFD and options transactions. If the trades of one customer can be used to naturally hedge and offset the trades of another customer,
the Group will act as the market maker to offer liquidity and pricing to both customers. When such an offsetting is not available, the
Group may choose to use its own trades to hedge and offset the trades of its customer.
The contractual amounts related to CFDs reflect
the volume and activity and generally do not reflect the amounts at risk. The fair value of the asset or liability is the best indicator
of the Group's risk. The credit risk for the CFDs and option contracts is limited to the unrealized fair value gains (losses) recorded
in the balance sheets. Market risk is substantially dependent upon the value of the underlying assets and is affected by market forces
such as volatility and changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. The Group's open derivative positions at December 31, 2022
were derivative assets of $
54
for CFDs. The Group's open derivative positions at December 31, 2021 were derivative liabilities of
$
554,710
for OTC option contracts and derivative assets of $
64
for CFDs .

The Group elects the alternative disclosure for
gains and losses on derivative instrument included in its trading activities, and discloses gains and losses on its trading activities
(including both derivative instruments and nonderivative instruments) separately by major type of items as required by ASC 815-10-50-4F,
see Note 2 above.
F-

Offsetting Arrangements
Financial assets and financial liabilities are
offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheets if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Group is engaged in various trading and brokerage
activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, individuals, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties
do not fulfil their obligations, the Group may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty
or issuer of the instrument. It is the Group's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.
Note 11 — Related Parties
During the year ended December 31, 2022, no advances

December 2020 Convertible Debenture and
Warrants
On December 14, 2020, the Company completed
a private placement with net proceeds of $
1,540,000
in exchange for the issuance of i) a
9
% senior secured convertible debenture
(the "2020 Convertible Debenture" or "Debenture") in the principal amount of $
1,600,000
, which is convertible
up to
800,000
ADSs at $
2.00
per ADS at any time, matures 30 months from the date of issuance and accrues interest at
9
% per annum
payable quarterly in cash or, in lieu of cash payment, in the Company's ADSs, subject to adjustment and certain customary equity
conditions; ii) a
2
-year warrant ("Series B Warrant") to purchase
5,000,000
ADS at an exercise price of $
2.00
per ADS;
iii) a warrant to purchase
1,200,000
ADS ("Series A Warrant") until December 14, 2027 at an exercise price of $
2.45
per ADS; and iv) a
7
-year warrant to purchase
7,500,000
ADS ("Series C Warrant", together with Series A Warrant
and Series B Warrant, the "December 2020 Warrants") at an exercise price of $
2.45
per ADS. The exercisability
of Series C Warrant shall vest ratably from time to time in proportion to the exercise of the Series B Warrant by the holder.
Further, for each $
1
million of subscription amount under the 2020 Convertible Debenture and the Series B Warrant,
the purchaser
shall receive a certificate representing 50,000 ADSs (or such lesser number on a ratable basis if the subscription amount is less than
$1 million). Both the Debenture and the December 2020 Warrants include a full ratchet anti-dilution provision, and contain
a beneficial ownership limitation on such conversion or exercise.
The Company follows Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Down Round Features. The detachable December 2020 Warrants issued to the holder are considered to be indexed to
the Company's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity and therefore they meet the scope exception prescribed in ASC 815-10-15.
The fair value of December 2020 Warrants is measured by using Binomial Option Pricing Model and Black-Scholes Merton Valuation Model
with the assumptions below on the date of issuance, with no subsequent adjustment of fair value in accordance with ASC 815.

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with
Conversion and Other Options, the net proceeds of $
1,540,000
were allocated to Convertible Debenture, the detachable Series A,
B and C December 2020 Warrants on their relative fair value basis, in the amount of approximately $
206,000
, $
157,000
, $
375,000
and
$
802,000
, respectively.
For the holder of the Debenture, conversion price
results in BCF that is separated as an equity component and assigned a value of approximately $
206,000
as a debt discount. Debt discount
is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the period from the issuance date through the stated redemption date.
The issuance costs are allocated in the same proportion
as the proceeds are allocated to the debt and warrants. Issuance costs allocated to the equity-classified warrants in an aggregate of
$
77,500
were charged to stockholders' equity.
The Debenture is recognized initially at fair
value, net of debt discounts including original issue discount of $
60,000
and allocation of proceeds to BCF and the detachable Series A
and Series B Warrants of $
737,000
, in an aggregate of approximately $
803,000
on the date of issuance. As the vesting of Series C
Warrants is contingent upon the exercise of Series B Warrants, debt discounts related to allocation of proceeds to Series C
Warrants will be deferred and recognized until Series C Warrants are vested on a proportional basis.
On January 29, 2021, the Debenture along
with accrued interest of $
11,600
was fully converted into
889,667
Class A ordinary shares, as represented by ADSs.
The Company recognized interest expense of approximately $
796,000
and $
20,000
for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively, including interest relating to contractual interest obligation approximately of $
12,000
and $
7,000
, respectively
and amortization of the debt discounts and debt issuance cost approximately of $
784,000
and $
13,000
, respectively. As a result of
discounts amortization, the Debenture was in the carrying value of zero and approximately $
816,000
as of December 31,
2020. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no such Debenture outstanding.
As a result of January 2021 Call Options
as discussed in Note 13, exercise price of Series A and Series C Warrants was adjusted from $2.45 to $2.00.
In accordance
with ASC 260-10-25-1, Earnings per Share-Overview-Recognition, when a down round feature is triggered, the Company recognized the
effect of the down round feature in an aggregate of $
743,500
, and the effect is treated as a dividend and a reduction to income available
to ordinary shareholders in the basic EPS calculation for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2021,
as a result of full exercise of December 2020 Warrants, the Company received the proceeds of $
27.4
million in exchange for the
issuance of
14,200,000
Class A ordinary shares, as represented by ADSs.

1,955,000
in consideration of the issuance of Convertible Debenture (the "May
2022 Debenture") in the principal amount of $
2,100,000
. The Debenture matures on
November 17, 2024
, bears interest at a rate of
8

and is convertible into ADSs at the option of the holder, beginning after its original date of issuance at a conversion price is the lesser
of $
1.00
or
85
% of the lowest trade price in the last ten (10) trading days immediately prior to conversion , in no event that the conversion
price shall be lower than $
0.75
, subject to adjustment, per ADS. Interest is payable quarterly. Upon the conversion of all of this Debenture
prior to the maturity date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount being

the guidance in in ASC 815-40-35-16 through ASC 815-40-35-18 regarding the modification or exchange of a freestanding equity-classified
written call option, and recognized the incremental fair value of the warrants aforementioned as a debt discount or debt issuance cost
in accordance with paragraph 815-40-35-17(b), in an amount of $1,330,000. The fair value of Series D, E and G Warrants immediately before
the modification is estimated to be at $0.24, $0.09 and $0.29 per share, respectively by using Binomial Option Pricing Model with an expected
term of 3.75, 0.75 and 4.57 years, respectively, a stock price of $1.07 per share, volatility of 58.23%, 91.63%, 57.98%, respectively,
a risk free rate of 2.97%, 3.16% and 2.96%, respectively, and an expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of Series D, E and G Warrants
after the modification is estimated to be at $0.35, $0.18 and $0.43 per share, respectively by using Binomial Option Pricing Model with
an expected term of 5.75, 2.75 and 6.57 years, respectively, a stock price of $1.05 per share, volatility of 57.82%, 61.03% and 61.21%,
respectively, a risk free rate of 2.96%, 2.97% and 2.97%, respectively, and an expected dividend yield of 0%.
The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January
1, 2022. In accordance with ASC 815-15-25-1, the Interest Make-Whole feature is an embedded derivative that should be bifurcated and accounted
for separately. As a result, the Company recognized the embedded derivative liability for Interest Make-Whole feature at its fair value
of approximately $
625,000
which equals to the present value of the stated interest cash flows on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with
any changes in its fair value recognized in the earnings during period, and recorded the Debenture carried at the value of approximately
$
1,330,000
representing the difference between the proceeds received of $
1,955,000
(net of debt original issue discount of $
145,000
) and
the fair value of the derivative. Further, the Company charged the debt issuance cost of $
1,330,000
against the proceeds.
Debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized
using the effective interest rate method over the period from the issuance date through the stated maturity date. The Company recognized
interest expense of approximately $
445,000
for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting from the amortization of the debt discounts.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the May 2022 Convertible Debenture along with the Make-Whole interest of $
630,000
were fully
converted into an aggregate of
3,194,885
Class A ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2022, there was no such Debenture outstanding.

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with
Conversion and Other Options, the Company allocated the net proceeds to Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, the detachable Series D,
E and F February 2021 Warrants on their relative fair value basis, in the amount of approximately $
1,563,000
, $
560,000
, $
1,588,000
and
$
2,669,000
, respectively. For the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, conversion price results in BCF that is separated
as an equity component and assigned a value of approximately $
1,563,000
as a prefer stock discount. Such discount is amortized all
at once upon issuance date and the amortization is treated as a deemed dividend for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The issuance costs are allocated in the same proportion
as the proceeds are allocated to the preferred stock and warrants. Issuance costs allocated to the equity-classified warrants in an aggregate
of $
81,000
were charged to additional paid in capital.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares
are recognized initially at fair value, net of discounts including original issue discount of $
620,000
and allocation of proceeds
to the detachable Series D and Series E Warrants of $
2,149,000
, in an amount of approximately $
4,231,000
on the date of
issuance. As the vesting of Series F Warrants is contingent upon the exercise of Series E Warrants, preferred stock discounts
related to allocation of proceeds to Series F Warrants will be deferred and recognized until Series F Warrants are vested on
a proportional basis. Each of the February 2021 securities contain down round features which would reduce the respective conversion
price or exercise prices to the effective price at which any future securities are sold. In consideration of the transaction entered into
in December 2021 below, the investor agrees to waive the full ratchet anti-dilution provision and set the conversion price and exercise
prices as follows:
(i) the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Shares is adjusted to the lower of $1.75 or 90% of
the lowest daily Volume-Weighted Average Price in the last 10 trading days prior to conversion, in no event that the conversion price
shall be lower than $0.75, as amended; (ii) the exercise price of the Series D Warrants is adjusted to $2.50; (iii) the
exercise price of the Series E Warrants is adjusted to $2.00; and (iv) the exercise price of the Series F Warrants is adjusted
to $2.50.
In accordance with ASC 260-10-25-1, the Company recognized the effect of such reprice event for February 2021
Warrants in an aggregate of $
5.3
million, and the effect is treated as a dividend and a reduction to income available to ordinary
shareholders in the basic EPS calculation for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2021,
500
Series A
Preferred Shares along with accrued dividend of $
14,000
were converted into an aggregate of
349,789
Class A ordinary shares,
as represented by ADSs.
6,500
Series A Preferred Shares remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021 in the carrying
value of $
3,929,000
.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the
remaining 6,
500
Series A Preferred Shares along with accrued dividend of $
325,000
were fully converted into an aggregate of
8,280,270
Class A
ordinary shares.
As a result of early adoption of ASU 2020-06 on
January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method, no cumulative effect was recognized with regards to Series A Preferred Shares.
The Company recognized cumulative dividend of approximately $
130,000
and $

for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

December 2021 Series B Convertible
Preferred Shares and Warrants
On December 13, 2021, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement-December") with the same third party investor (the
"Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Company received net proceeds of $
3,800,000
in consideration of the issuance of:
a)
Series B Convertible Preferred Shares (the "Series B Convertible Preferred Shares") with a stated value of $4,000,000;
and b) a 5-year warrant to purchase 2,285,715 ADSs (the "Series G Warrants", or the "December 2021 Warrants")
of the Company until on or prior to December 13, 2026 at an exercise price of $2.50 per ADS.
The transactions were closed on
December 13, 2021.
The number of Series B Convertible Preferred
Shares is
4,000
and each share has a par value of $
0.0001
and a stated value of $
1,000
. The Series B Convertible Preferred
Shares have no voting rights, bear dividend rights at a rate of
8
% per annum commencing on the closing date, and are convertible
into the ADSs, beginning after its original date of issuance at an initial conversion price of $
1.75
per share or
90
% of the
lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date, in no event that
the conversion price shall be lower than $
0.75
, as amended. Dividend is payable quarterly in cash, or the Company may pay accrued interest
in its ADSs. On the third anniversary of the original issue date, the Company shall redeem, at the option of the holder, all of the then
outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, for an amount in cash equal to the sum of (a)
100
% of the aggregate cash
investment of $
3,800,000
and (b) accrued but unpaid dividends due in respect of the preferred shares. Both the Series B
Convertible Preferred Shares and the December 2021 Warrants include full ratchet anti-dilution provisions, and contain a beneficial
ownership limitation on such conversion or exercise.
The detachable December 2021 Warrants issued
to the holder are considered to be indexed to the Company's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity and therefore
they meet the scope exception prescribed in ASC 815-10-15.
The fair value of December 2021 Warrants is estimated to be
at $0.58 per share by using Binomial Option Pricing Model with an expected term of 5 years, a stock price of $1.70 per share, volatility
of 53.42%, a risk free rate of 1.30% and an expected dividend yield of 0%.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards,
Series B Convertible Preferred Shares qualified as redeemable securities and are classified as mezzanine equity; the net proceeds
were allocated to the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares and the detachable Series G Warrant on their relative basis, in
the amount of approximately $
2,800,000
and $
950,000
, respectively. The Series B Preferred Shares contained a BCF that is separated
as an equity component and assigned a value of approximately $
1,613,000
as a prefer stock discount.
The issuance costs are allocated in the same proportion
as the proceeds are allocated to the preferred stock and warrants. Issuance costs allocated to the equity-classified warrants in an aggregate
of $
8,000
were charged to additional paid in capital.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Shares
are recognized initially at fair value, net of debt discounts including original issue discount of $
50,000
and allocation of proceeds
to the detachable Series G Warrants of $
950,000
and to the BCF of $
1,613,000
, in an amount of approximately $
1,186,000
on
the date of issuance. Such discounts are accreted over the period from the date of issuance to the date of the earliest redemption and
the accretion is treated as a deemed dividend. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the accretion was recognized as a deemed dividend
to preferred stockholders in the amount of approximately $
36,000
, resulting in the carrying amount accreted to approximately $
1,222,000
as
of December 31, 2021.
As a result of early adoption of ASU 2020-06 on
January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method, a reclassification of the unamortized portion of the BCF in the amount of $
1,591,000
from additional paid-in capital to Series B Preferred shares on the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2022,
the
4,000
Series B Preferred Shares along with accrued dividend of $294,000 were fully converted into an aggregate of 5,158,472 Class A
ordinary shares, as represented by ADSs, and the accretion was recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred stockholders in the amount
of approximately $187,000 prior to conversions.
The Company recognized cumulative dividend of

The applicable statutory rate applied is based on the profits tax rates in Hong Kong. Effective for tax years ended on or after December 31, 2018,
the applicable tax rate was 8.25% on the first HK $2,000,000 of assessable profits and 16.5% on any assessable profits above that threshold. The 8.25% tax rate can only be utilized by one entity in a controlled group. All other Hong Kong entities in the Group utilize the 16.5% tax rate.
The Singapore entity within the Group has an applicable tax rate of
17.0
%. The entity in the United States within the Group has a federal tax rate of
21.0
%.

Note 19 — Segment Reporting
ASC 280, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components
of an enterprise which engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Reportable segments are defined as an operating segment that either (a) exceeds
10% of revenue, or (b) reported profit or loss in absolute amount exceeds 10% of profit of all operating segments that did not report
a loss or (c) exceeds 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Note 20 — SPAC Warrants
PAAC's warrants (collectively, the "SPAC
Warrants"), which include (i) 11,500,000 warrants, those warrants included in the units as part of initial public
offering (the "IPO") on June 3, 2019 (the "Public Warrants"), (ii) 5,375,000 warrants purchased
by the founders of PAAC in a private placement simultaneously closed with PAAC's IPO (the "Private Warrants") and (iii) 920,000 warrants
issued to the underwriters of PAAC's IPO (the "Underwriters' Warrants").
Public Warrants and Private Warrants
Upon the closing, each outstanding Public Warrants
and Private Warrants of PAAC automatically represents the right to purchase one Class A ordinary share in the form of the Company's
ADSs in lieu of one ordinary share of PAAC at a price of $11.50 per share or $11.50 per ADS, subject to adjustment in the event of a share
dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
However, the warrants will not be adjusted
for issuances of Class A ordinary shares at a price below their respective exercise prices. However, no warrants issued in exchange
for PAAC's public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering
the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such Class A ordinary
shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, warrant holders may, during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective
registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in the same manner as if the Company called the warrants for redemption
and required all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis." The Company's Public Warrants and Private
Warrants became exercisable thirty (30) days after the closing and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing or earlier
upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company's warrants issued in exchange
for PAAC's private warrants are identical to warrants issued in exchange for the PAAC's public warrants, except that such
private warrants will be exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder's option, and will not be redeemable by the Company,
in each case so long as they are still held by PAAC's initial purchasers or their affiliates.
F-
45
The Company may call the warrants for redemption
(excluding the private warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant,
●
at any time while the warrants are exercisable;
●
upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
●
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company's ADSs equals or exceeds $18.00 per ADS, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of Redemption to warrant holders; and
●
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption
as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a "cashless
basis."
Subsequent to the closing,
11,500,000
Public Warrants
and
5,375,000
Private Warrants remained outstanding through December 31, 2022. The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants
under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria
to be classified in stockholders' equity. Specifically, the SEC Statement focused in part on provisions in warrant agreements that
provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the warrant holder and because the holder
of a warrant is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, such provision would preclude the warrant
from being classified in equity and thus the warrant should be classified as a liability.
Accordingly, due to the restatement, the Public
and Private Warrants are now classified as a liability at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at each period
end, and the change in the fair value of such liability in each period is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Because the Public Warrants were publicly traded and thus had an observable
market price, fair value adjustments were determined by utilizing the market prices whereas the Private Warrants were valued using a Black-Sholes-Merton
pricing model as described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The changes in the fair value of the warrants may
be material to our future operating results.
Underwriters' Warrants
The Underwriters' Warrants may be exercised
for cash or on a cashless basis at $
12.00
per share, at the holder's option, at any time during the period commencing on the later
of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the closing of
our initial business combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. Such warrants may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 360 days immediately following the effective date of the PAAC's registration
statement. After 360 days after the effective date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from
applicable securities laws. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the warrants. The exercise price and
number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event
of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
Subsequent to the Closing,
920,000
Underwriters'
Warrants remained outstanding through December 31, 2022. The Company evaluated the Underwriters' Warrants under ASC 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders'
equity as additional paid in capital.
Note 21 — Subsequent Events
Nasdaq Letter
The Group received a notice dated February 10,
2023, from the Listings Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying
the Group that the minimum bid price per ADS was below $
1.00
for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Group did not meet
the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"). The Nasdaq notification
letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Group's ADSs, and the ADSs will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol
"LGHL."
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company has a compliance period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until August 9, 2023 (the "Compliance Period"),
to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price
per ADS is at least $
1.00
for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Group a written confirmation of
compliance and the matter will be closed.
