FingerMotion Inc. (FNGR) Shares Progress on the NASDAQ Uplisting Application, Big Data Insights Division, in its August Corporate Update

 

  • On August 25, FingerMotion held a conference call in which it provided updates on the progress of its Sapientus division, application to uplist to the NASDAQ, and more
  • Hosted by FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen, the corporate update also included a review of the Q1 2022 results, which marked the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue
  • FingerMotion received its first comment letter from NASDAQ, to which it responded promptly and efficiently
  • The company, in collaboration with its partners, has begun translating products under the Sapientus division into an actual operational pilot
  • FNGR will hold an AGM in November

In July last year, FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR) launched Sapientus, its Big Data Insights arm and third operational division, built to deliver data-driven insights and solutions for companies and businesses in the insurance and financial services sectors (https://ibn.fm/fMJF6). 

Since then, the division has grown in many ways. For instance, it witnessed two consecutive quarters of revenue generation during Q4 2021 and Q1 2022 and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth during the latter reporting period (https://ibn.fm/cFROI). Additionally, earlier this year, FNGR reported an agreement between Sapientus and Pacific Life Re-Insurance to provide cutting-edge behavioral risk analytics for the insurance company (https://ibn.fm/xSnGM). So, what further progress has the division made since then?

In an August 25 conference call, whose recording is available on the company’s website (https://ibn.fm/BnQra), FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen sought to answer this question as part of a corporate update aimed at informing shareholders and the general public about FNGR’s progress thus far and outlook for the future. Included in the August 25 update were the strides the Sapientus division has made, progress on the application to uplist on NASDAQ, a review of the Q1 2022 results, and general announcements. 

Firstly, Martin discussed the Q1 2022 results for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Pleased with all facets of the business as all facets were growing tremendously, he observed that Q1 2022 represented the company’s fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue, having recorded revenue of $6 million. According to Shen, FingerMotion is optimistic that it will be a profitable business “fairly soon” and has set its sights on higher-margin verticals. 

Regarding its uplist application to the Nasdaq Capital Market, FNGR focused on “getting it right the first time” by meeting most of the objective criteria and parameters. “To further bolster our own confidence, we received our first comment letter from Nasdaq fairly quickly, meaning we had met most of the parameters in the first place,” Shen added.

The company brought in an independent advisory firm, which collaborated with its in-house counsel to issue an efficient, fast response to the comment letter. Shen was, however, quick to caution viewers on the need to keep their optimism in check, given that several other hurdles are yet to be surmounted. Still, he expressed his pride in his team’s work so far, further noting the company’s commitment to promptly and efficiently answering all questions NASDAQ’s examiners send. 

“The launch of Sapietus marked a significant milestone for our journey because we moved away from being a top-up company to this dynamic technology solution provider and allowed us to expand our company and business into insurance and then the wider financial industry in general,” Shen described Sapientus. 

He continued, “Our distinctive edge and what we do as Sapientus is our ability to integrate all these publicly available data into these proprietary risk matrices with behavioral indicators derived from event-driven or even contextual-based information.”

Shen pointed out that Sapientus, which prioritizes privacy protection, uses advanced algorithms to generate distributional statistics and categorical variables agnostic to individual identity. Crucially, though, the data only contains demographic markers. By providing the desired level of customer understanding through behavioral analytics, Sapientus aims to supply actionable intelligence and facilitate the efficient delivery of services to various players within the insurance industry.

Working with partners such as Pacific Life Re-Insurance, FingerMotion has begun translating its Sapientus-based products into an actual operational pilot that benefits the service providers and customers alike. For insurance companies, it will provide value, enhance efficiencies, and lower the cost-of-service delivery. At the same time, it will eliminate existing pain points insurance customers had. Shen also outlined future development plans for the Sapientus division.

Lastly, FingerMotion announced its AGM scheduled for November and will provide additional updates on this in due course.

MissionIRNewsBreaks – Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (NEO: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (FSE: N29) Expands WebAR for Ecommerce Contract with Major Retailer

 Nextech (CSE: NTAR) (NEO: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (FSE: N29), a diversified leading provider of augmented reality (“AR”) experience technologies and services, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS), one of the largest department store chains in the United States. The partnership began when Kohl’s identified Threedy.ai, now part of Nextech, and its WebAR for Ecommerce solutions as the most attractive option to introduce augmented reality and 3D models into its customer experience. Extensive product testing that began with Kohl’s Innovation Center validated Threedy’s return on investment. According to the update, Kohl’s, in collaboration with Nextech, is now significantly scaling WebAR for Ecommerce, creating thousands of new 3D models that will enhance the augmented reality experience for Kohl’s customers. “Kohl’s is an example of a large retailer that quickly recognized the potential for WebAR to enhance its online business,” said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech. “Augmented reality in e-commerce can not only drive sales, but reduce customer returns as the buyer feels a higher level of product familiarity before placing the order — the latter being a key point for many e-commerce customers. By combining Threedy’s disruptive AI technology and our leading AR platform, large retailers like Kohls can reach the necessary scale critical to support their e-commerce business.”

MissionIRNewsBreaks – Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) Releases Q2 2021 Financials, Business Highlights

 Red White & Bloom (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF), a multistate cannabis operator and house of premium brands, has reported its second quarter 2021 financials. The report includes the news that adjusted sales for the first six months reached $58.5 million, with revenue for Q2 2021 topping $13.3 million compared to $11.8 million in Q1 2021, an increase of 13%. The company’s gross margin for the period was $9.5 million. The company also noted that it was able to reduce its short-term obligations through repayment of approximately $18 million of debt and restructuring of more than $20 million into long-term debt. Corporate highlights for RWBYF include closing on the acquisition of Acreage Florida, a property that is licensed to operate medical marijuana dispensaries, which includes processing facility and a cultivation facility, as well as obtaining 30 double-wide, fully enclosed cultivation pods that will provide approximately 19,000 square feet of turnkey cultivation space. The company also has completed the more comprehensive portion of Michigan’s two-step application process for medical marijuana licensing through a wholly owned operating subsidiary. “We continue to make great strides with our branded products and see momentum in Q2, which has teed up Q3 nicely, and will translate into a strong second half,” said Red White & Bloom chair and CEO Brad Rogers in the press release. “In Florida, after closing the acquisition at the end of April, we have made strategic investments that are allowing us to quickly ramp up capacity as well as complete construction for new store openings before the end of 2021. Under IFRS, revenue for the second quarter was up 13% over the first quarter of this year. Even with the growth in recognized revenue, it’s important to note that in the second quarter, there were a number of significant raw material inventory purchases made to support growth for Q3 and in anticipation of new branded product line launches; we want to point out that, under IFRS, these purchases reduced recognized revenue for PV in Michigan. We continue to present the Adjusted Sales to assist investors in understanding the growth and demand for our brands in the US cannabis market.”
