The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read together with our unaudited financial statements and
related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our audited financial
statements and related notes for the year ended August 31, 2019 included in our
most recent annual report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information,
this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of
certain factors.
Company Overview
Leader Capital Holdings Corp. is an early stage technology company that conducts
its operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Leader Financial Group
Limited, a Seychelles corporation incorporated on March 6, 2017 ("LFGL"), and
JFB Internet Service Limited, a Hong Kong corporation incorporated on July 6,
2017 ("JFB").
Through LFGL, we act as the service provider for a mobile application investment
platform that is owned by JFB. The platform connects investors with financial
service providers in an effort to sharpen operational efficiency and seeks to
address customer demands for more innovative services. It is a ready-made
application created to meet the needs of financial service providers, especially
trust companies and insurance companies. The platform is customizable and each
financial institution can adjust the platform to better suit their client's
needs.
Use of the JFB platform is currently free; however, we have an agreement with a
third party whereby we have authorized the third party to use our investment
platform and related applications until December 31, 2020 for a fee. In the
future, the Company intends to generate additional revenue by developing a new,
more comprehensive mobile application, with similar functions as the JFB
platform, to offer to our clients for a fee.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations, and recorded an accumulated
deficit of $2,714,376 as of November 30, 2019. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our profit generating
operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its
obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations
when they become due.
The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through loans from
existing directors and stockholders, sales of capital stock and cash flow from
operations. In the event that the Company requires additional funding to finance
the Company's current and expected future operations, as well as to achieve its
strategic objectives, a stockholder has indicated the intent and ability to
provide additional financing. No assurance can be given that any future
financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on
terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Any such additional financing may
contain undue restrictions on the Company's operations and/or cause substantial
dilution to its stockholders.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue as going concern.
