"The Chinese "lockdowns" are over now, but during the quarter they still had an impact on the Company's revenue mix," said Martin Shen, CEO of FingerMotion. "The Company managed the quarter by focusing available resources to the top-up business. During the lockdown, our corporate SMS & MMS customers were not interested in driving traffic to retail establishments that were closed. Now that China has opened up again, the Company expects an upward trend in revenue growth and a rebound in its margins in the ensuing quarter."

"We are also optimistic that we will see notable growth in our Big Data division in the future," stated Martin Shen, CEO of FingerMotion.

General and administrative expenses increased by $122,440 or 10% during the quarter compared to Q1 2023, which was a result of an increase in consulting, travel, and entertainment expenses related to potential funding activities, information technology and technical fees. Research and development expenses dropped to $172,099 during the quarter which was a 19% decrease due to savings from data access fees charged by the telecom companies.
