These statements involve known and unknown risks,uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by theforwardlooking statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigations Reform Act of 1995.You can identify these forwardlooking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,”“believe,” “likely to” or other similar expressions. We have based these forwardlooking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about futureevents and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forwardlookingstatements include, but are not limited to, statements about:●our future business development, results of operations and financial condition;●expected changes in our net revenues and certain cost or expense items;●our ability to attract and retain customers; and●trends and competition in the spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services market.You should read this annual report and the documents that we refer to in this annual report and have filed as exhibits to this annual report completely andwith the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Other sections of this annual report discuss factors whichcould adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and itis not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, orcombination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwardlooking statements. We qualify all of our forwardlookingstatements by these cautionary statements.You should not rely upon forwardlooking statements as predictions of future events. The forwardlooking statements made in this annual report relateonly to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this annual report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to updateor revise publicly any forwardlooking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements aremade or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.TABLE OF CONTENTSPart IItem 1.Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers1Item 2.Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable1Item 3.Key Information1A.Selected Financial Data1B.Capitalization and Indebtedness1C.Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds1D.Risk Factors1Item 4.Information on the Company17A.History and Development of the Company17B.Business Overview19C.Organizational Structure28D.Property, Plants and Equipment29Item 4A.Unresolved Staff Comments30Item 5.Operating and Financial Review and Prospects30A.Operating Results30B.Liquidity and Capital Resources41C.Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.42D.Trend Information42E.Offbalance Sheet Arrangements43F.Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations43Item 6.Directors, Senior Management and Employees44A.Directors and Senior Management44B.Compensation45C.Board Practices47D.Employees51E.Share Ownership51Item 7.Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions52A.Major Shareholders52B.Related Party Transactions52C.Interests of Experts and Counsel52Item 8.Financial Information53A.Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information53B.Significant Changes53Item 9.The Offer and Listing54A.Offer and Listing Details54B.Plan of Distribution54C.Markets54D.Selling shareholders54E.Dilution54F.Expenses of the issue54Item 10.Additional Information54A.Share Capital54B.Memorandum and Articles of Association54C.Material Contracts61D.Exchange Controls63E.Taxation68F.Dividends and Paying Agents73G.Statement by Experts73H.Documents on Display73I.Subsidiary Information73Item 11.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk74iItem 12.Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities75A.Debt Securities75B.Warrants and Rights75C.Other Securities75D.American Depositary Shares75Part IIItem 13.Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies76Item 14.Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds76Item 15.Controls and Procedures76Item 16A.Audit Committee Financial Expert77Item 16B.Code of Ethics77Item 16C.Principal Accountant Fees and Services78Item 16D.Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees78Item 16E.Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers78Item 16F.Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant78Item 16G.Corporate Governance78Item 16H.Mine Safety Disclosure78Part IIIItem 17.Financial Statements79Item 18.Financial Statements79Item 19.Exhibits79Index to Consolidated Financial StatementsF1iiPART IITEM 1.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely Technology”) to issue21,794,872 series A preferred shares at a purchase price of $1.95 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $42,500,000.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company. TheCompany cannot give any assurances as to whether it will receive any monies from Daci Haojin pursuant to the Preferred Financing Agreement.On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation framework agreement with Nanjing Antong Meteorological Data Limited (“Nanjing Antong”)and Nanjing Weida Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31,2019 to 201820192018% Change(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,806$20,703(14.0)%License203(100.0)%Technology Services973136615.4%Total revenues$18,779$21,042(10.8)%Advertising94.8%98.3%License1.0%Technology Services5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue of $18,779,172, as compared to revenue of $21,042,363 for the year ended December 31, 2018, adecrease of $2,263,191, or 10.8%, which was primarily due to the termination of the WiFi provision for express trains as the increase in numbers of Highspeed trainsled to the shrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. From the beginning of 2019, we started generating our revenue through the Luokung Locationbasedservices Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”).Cost of revenueOur cost of revenue primarily consists of traffic acquisition costs, depreciation, WiFi equipment installation fees, amortization, spare parts, annualpayments to local railway bureaus and other costs.Year Ended December 31,20192018(dollars in thousands)Amount% of cost of revenue% of revenueAmount% of cost of revenue% of revenueTraffic acquisition costs$13,61690.9%72.5%$WiFi equipment installation fees6084.1%3.2%1,88427.2%9.0%Depreciation2401.6%1.3%2,80740.4%13.3%Spare parts320.2%0.2%1,00614.5%4.8%Amortization4146.0%2.0%Resource cost5578.0%2.6%Others4803.2%2.5%2703.9%1.3%Total cost of revenue$14,976100.0%79.7%$6,938100.0%33.0%Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,976,016, representing an increase of $8,037,953 or 115.9% as compared to $6,938,063 for theyear ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in promotional and marketing activities of approximately $12,263,000, which was due tothe decrease in promotional and marketing activities conducted by the Company to promote the Luokuang APP as a result of the termination of the WiFi provisionon express trains, offset by an increase in the salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel of approximately $1,241,000.General and administrative expense20F 1 f20f2020_luokungtech.htm ANNUAL REPORTUNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20549FORM 20F☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934OR☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020OR☐ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934For the transition period from __________ to __________☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934Date of event requiring this shell company report ________Commission file number: 00134738Luokung Technology Corp.(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)Not applicable(Translation of Registrant’s name into English)British Virgin IslandsB98, Block B, SOHO Phase II, No. 9, Guanghua Road,Chaoyang District, BeijingPeople’s Republic of China, 100020(Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization)(Address of principal executive offices)Miss.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share.

The Company’s website is www.luokung.com.18B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.We are a Chinabased provider of locationbased services and mobile application products for long distance travelers in China. Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data. By leveraging variety of industry templates, simple and easytouse toolsfor data editing, analysis and searching, users will be able to generate application systems for specific application scenarios. Various application operations can beperformed through the mobile devices and Web browsers.Our StrategyWe put more effort on continually improving the quality of our products and services, and the user’s experience of our products, as we believe satisfiedusers and customers are more likely to recommend our products and services to others.

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options.Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equityinterest pursuant to the call option. The VIE agrees not to distribute any dividends to the VIE equity holders without the approval of WFOE.Equity Interest Pledge AgreementPursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIE as a continuing first prioritysecurity interest in favor of the WFOE to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equity holders under the exclusive business cooperationagreement.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS.Not applicable.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.Not applicable.D. RISK FACTORS.An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing.

As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions. Our proprietary full vector map presents refreshingly new andcustomizable locationbased services to our business partners.Spatial temporal indexing cloud. The spatial temporal indexing cloud service is a datalevel virtualization technology we offer to our clients with highavailability, extensibility and granular permission control. Our indexing cloud data centers offer highly integrated, dependable, efficient and secure services to meetthe needs of varied spatial temporal requirements covering all types of clients, while shielding the details of data from disclosure to honor requested data protection.Information SuperEngine. Our information SuperEngine includes the server engine and web graphics image engine. The server engine enables our clientsto improve their ability and functions to store, manage and index the spatial temporal big data on the server side, and by establishing spatial temporal index on theserver, our clients can rapidly and more efficiently obtain their requested data. Web graphics image engine, supports the rapid transmission of graphics image, andrapid display and edge computing ability for multiterminal and crossplatform.Spatial temporal cloud platform. Spatial temporal cloud platform supports deployment on public and private clouds to provide services for both industryusers and public users. It provides comprehensive online cloud services including data storage, data resource and platform support, and it supports users toaggregate multisource spatial data, map services, and Internet of things streaming data.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below togetherwith all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements,” before youdecide to invest in our ordinary shares. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and aresubject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks anduncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growthprospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in ourordinary shares.We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manageour business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint venturesand strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not beable, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable tocomplete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions,we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by several factors. These factorsinclude:1.diversion of management’s attention;2.difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;3.difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;14.entry into unfamiliar markets;5.unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and6.tax and accounting issues.If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.Due to intense competition for highlyskilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; ourability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualifiedemployees. There is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to ourcustomers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the mobile application design area or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experiencesignificant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to adecline in demand for our services.In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, trainand retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services,evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill theneeds of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionand results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departuremay lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if welose their services.Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, particularly since we recentlyappointed a new Chairman. We are reliant on the services of Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors. If oneor more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employeeeasily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financialcondition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our noncompetition agreements with them cannot be enforced.If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, knowhow and keyprofessionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and businesspartners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executiveshave entered, or will soon enter, into employment agreements with us that contain or will contain noncompetition provisions. However, if any dispute arisesbetween our executive officers and us, such noncompetition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and keyemployees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”2Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused byunauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. We have been the target of attempted cybersecurity breaches in the past andexpect that we will continue to be subject to such attempts in the future. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary informationor cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted throughcomputer systems and mobile devices of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may detercustomers from using our services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or toalleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.Widespread health developments, including the recent global COVID19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition andresults of operations.Our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID19 pandemic, such as recommendationsor mandates from governmental authorities to close businesses, limit travel, avoid large gatherings or to selfquarantine. These impacts could place limitations onour ability to execute on our business plan and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue tomonitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and procedures as moreinformation and guidance become available to address the evolving situation. The impact of COVID19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Report, anyof which could have a material effect on us.If we do not continually enhance our solutions and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing technologies, applications and platform, andto introduce new features to meet the preferences and requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Unexpected technical,operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that wemay plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving preferences and tastes of our customers, and these solutions andservices may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for serviceor product enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially andadversely affected.If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of products inrelation to maps and geospatial data processing, mobile applications and services to a broader customer base. We will be required to make investments in researchand development in order to continually develop new products, software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing products, platform, mobileapplications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our mobile applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new products, mobile applications and service offerings. Our developmentstage products, mobile applications may not be successfullycompleted or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new mobileapplications, and enhance existing mobile applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. The timely availability of new applications andtheir acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results ofoperations.3Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.China’s spatialtemporal bigdata processing and interactive locationbased services industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changingtechnology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. Newsolutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our successdepends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 5G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate newtechnologies into our products, mobile applications and related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing oracquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrateexisting systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfullyagainst existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future ininnovating and introducing new mobile applications and service offerings. Our development of new mobile applications and platform enhancements may not besuccessfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfullyagainst established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.Problems with the quality or performance of our software or other systems may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss ofcustomers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our products are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions arereleased. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our systems may contain errors that are not discovered until after they have been installed orimplemented, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay the completion of projects or sales toour customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occurwhen we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed tolimit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all casesand in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from theuse of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adversepublicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liabilityinsurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues andprofitability.Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur inour new or existing products after we have delivered those products to the customers. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss ofrevenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems couldbe costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers andcould negatively affect our results of operations.4We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantialdamages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent andcopyright law covering softwarerelated technologies is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our selfdeveloped or licensed technologies,processes or methods may be covered by thirdparty patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us toincur significant expenses. Thirdparty claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, payongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail,any litigation would likely be costly and timeconsuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectualproperty rights.Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portionof our hardware and software systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employeeand thirdparty nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and theactions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietarytechnologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaddition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Any such litigation may be costlyand may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair ourintellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and wouldhave to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If these thirdparty hardware or softwaresolutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Although our hardware and software systems and mobile applications primarily rely on our own core technologies, some elements of our systemsincorporate a small portion of thirdparty hardware and software solutions. If any third party were to discontinue making their intellectual property available to us orour customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their licensing such intellectual property, or if our systems or applications failed to properlyfunction or interoperate with replacement intellectual property, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement thirdparty solutions and/or redesigning oursystems or applications to replace or function with or on replacement thirdparty proprietary technology. Replacement technology may not be available on termsacceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our systems or applications on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Ifany of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. Highquality support services are critical forthe successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide highquality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we maybe materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potentialcustomers. Our failure to maintain highquality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financialcondition.5Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, theprice of our ordinary shares, operating results and financial condition.We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section404 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), every public company is required toinclude a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness ofthe company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended on September 30,2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as ofDecember 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generallyaccepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” forfurther discussion of our material weakness as of December 31, 2020. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, suchweakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations orprevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Any litigation or otherproceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any actsof terrorism occur in Beijing, China, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not onlysignificant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results or financial condition.The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and donot, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, whilebusiness disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time.Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platformswhich we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees orotherwise.We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide.Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protectsensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into nondisclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of,our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequateto protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicableconfidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently donot have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.6We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be timeconsuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, wemay lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, includingpatents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and timeconsuming and could divert management’s attention from ourbusiness. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, developnoninfringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making,licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customersdeferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringementclaims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potentialinfringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or usingtechnology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial condition.On February 15, 2019, Beijing iQIYI Technology Co., Ltd. filed lawsuits with Beijing Internet Court alleging Shenzhen Jiu Zhou Shi Dai Digital andTechnology Limited and Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited are in infringement of exclusive rights to communication through information network ofcertain works, performances, audio and video products and claiming the economic loss amounts to approximately $400,000 (RMB 2,610,000). The Court ruled that theeconomic loss amounts to $41,000 (RMB270,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s decision.On December 14, 2019, Beijing Internet Court arranged a trial; Beijing iQIYI and the Company are negotiating a potential settlement while expecting a verdictfrom the court. The Court ruled that the economic loss amounts to $21,000 (RMB140,000). On November 25, 2020, The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’sdecision.Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ spending cycles and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly fromquarter to quarter and from year to year.Our revenues and operating results will vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of ourcontrol. Our new lines of business acquired upon the consummation of the asset exchange transaction discussed below see higher customer use and activity duringthe Chinese New Year holiday than other times during the year, which lead to higher revenue during this period as more customers would like to place moreadvertising. Historically, the products of our subsidiary Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (“Superengine”) have a patternof decreased sales in the first fiscal quarter as a result of industry buying patterns. Due to these and other factors, our operating results may fluctuate from quarterto quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our futureperformance in any future period.Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who can cause us to take actions in waysyou may not agree with.Mr. Xuesong Song, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.91% of our outstanding ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares,and each preferred share has the right to 399 votes at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. As a result, Mr. Song has approximately 71.89% of the votingrights of the shareholders of the Company. Mr. Song can exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutionaldocuments, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may alsodiscourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares aspart of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change ofcontrol transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering7We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to continue being dependent upon a few customers, suchdependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largestcustomers accounted for 49.8%, 69.3% and 94.4% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from yeartoyear, during such years that thecustomer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with thesecustomers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, couldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our outstanding accounts receivablebefore impairment were $26.9 million $23.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do notrequire collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The largest outstanding accountsreceivable balance accounted for 27.9%, 31.8% and 24.4% of our total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result,an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account would likely have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days ofour accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,liquidity and results of operations.Risks Related to Doing Business in ChinaAdverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China,which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects aresubject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRCgovernment continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host ofother government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB andforeign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growthin the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growthprospect.Growth of China’s economy has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the growth of the Chinese economyhas slowed down in recent years. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Anystimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financialcondition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higherinflation.8Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our taxburden and reduce our net income.Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EITLaw, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domesticinvested enterprises and foreigninvestedenterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrativeregulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a fiveyear transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law.However, certain qualifying hightechnology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they areenterprises in certain hightech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “hightechnology enterprises,” theywill continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong ChuanShi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, are qualified as a “hightechnology enterprise” untilthe end of the November 2021 and October 2021, respectively, and therefore they have benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rulesimplemented on January 1, 2008. Although we intend to apply for a renewal of this qualification, if Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun and Suzhou Superengine cease toqualify as a “hightechnology enterprise”, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities maymaterially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Lawand our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “defacto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on itsglobal income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantialand overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of thisannual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made byPRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” bythe PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount ofincome outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our nonPRC enterprise shareholders and gainsderived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded asChinasourced income.Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should wedecide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or otherpayments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only outof their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China isrequired to set aside at least 10% of its aftertax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Thesereserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing thedebt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business or otherwise fund and conduct our business.In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRCsubsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we are anonresident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.9Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRCsubsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to whollyforeignowned 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 economicactivities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and theirnonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part ongovernment 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 beaware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantialcosts and diversion of resources and management attention.Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out ofChina. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from ourPRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to paydividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, paymentsof current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from traderelated transactions, can be made in foreign currencieswithout prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required whereRMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange controlsystem prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to ourshareholders.Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economicconditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decadeold policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMBis permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, asamended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reachinga high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high butnever exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freelytraded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. InAugust 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, representing the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain thatChina’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularlyintervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and asignificant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries inChina. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, andany dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also resultin foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.10PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. Inaddition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws andregulations governing our business. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcementmay involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance byforeign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licensesand requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a latertime by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assureyou that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may besubject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China maybe protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt ourbusiness operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Risks Associated with our Ordinary SharesThe market price of our Ordinary Shares has historically been highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell our ordinary shares at or above your initialpurchase price.There is a limited public market for our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares. You maynot be able to sell your ordinary shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our ordinary shares is not active.The trading price of our ordinary shares may be volatile. The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety offactors, including the following:1.Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;2.Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;3.Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;4.Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;5.General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;6.Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;7.Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;118.Additions or departures of key management personnel;9.Issuances of debt or equity securities;10.Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;11.Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;12.Sales of additional ordinary shares or other securities by us or our shareholders in the future;13.Trading volume of our ordinary shares;14.Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;15.Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and16.Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market andindustry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Defense may prohibit you from transacting in our securities at a future dateOn January 14, 2021, the United States Department of Defense (the “DoD”) placed “Luokong Technology Corporation” on a list of entities operatingdirectly or indirectly in the United States and deemed to be Communist Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) under the National Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 1999. DoD did not accurately spell the Company’s name on the list. Under Executive Order 13959, issued by former President Trump on November 12,2020, and amended on January 13, 2021 by Executive Order 13974 (“Executive Order 13959”), the CCMC designation would have restricted U.S. persons from tradingthe Company’s securities and derivatives of those securities as of March 15, 2021.In response, Luokung, together with two U.S. shareholders of the Company, filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the“Court”) against the DoD and other government actors alleging that the CCMC designation of Luokung is unlawful. Luokung’s complaint in the lawsuit alleges thatthe government’s actions associated with the CCMC designation, and associated restrictions on trading, are ultra vires (i.e. beyond the government defendants’legal authority), and violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.On March 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) notifying theCompany that the DoD formally delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation,” but redesignated Luokung as a CCMC, correcting the DoD’s prior misspelling of theCompany name. The OFAC letter confirmed that restrictions on U.S. persons trading of the Company’s securities or derivatives would not take effect until May 8,2021, and that certain transactions solely for the purpose of divestment by U.S. persons would be permitted through March 9, 2022. After that date, U.S. personswould not be permitted to possess Luokung securities.On April 2, 2021, Luokung filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement and implementation of the DoD’s designation of Luokung asa CCMC, and the resulting restrictions on transactions in, and possession of, Luokung securities or derivatives of those securities, pursuant to Executive Order13959. On May 5, 2021, Luokung’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted by the Court. The Court explained that it was preliminarily enjoining “theprohibitions against Luokung in full,” and as a result of the ruling, the DoD and other government defendants are enjoined from implementing or enforcing thedesignation of Luokung as a CCMC, and the resulting restrictions pursuant to Executive Order 13959. On May 6, 2021, OFAC issued FAQ 893 confirming that in lightof the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction ruling, the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not apply with respect to Luokung pending further order of theCourt. However, while the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 do not currently apply to the Company, the Court could rule in favor of the government defendantsat a later stage in the case, and uphold enforcement of the prohibitions in Executive Order 13959 at that point. The timing or outcome of any such future decision isunknown at this time.12In light of the CCMC designation, prior to the preliminary injunction ruling, the Company received notice from Nasdaq on April 29, 2021, that trading of theCompany’s ordinary shares would be halted at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021, such that trading would not be available as of the first trading date afterMay 8, 2021. The Nasdaq notice also stated that a Form 25NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would remove the Company’ssecurities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon receipt of the Court’s May 5, 2021 preliminary injunction decision, the Companycontacted Nasdaq senior management to inform it of the action taken by the Court and requested that Nasdaq reconsider the delisting determination, as well as itsdecision to suspend trading in Luokung’s ordinary shares at the end of the trading day on May 7, 2021. On May 6, 2021, Nasdaq notified Luokung that it hadwithdrawn its delisting letter, and that the Company’s shares will continued to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market. However, Nasdaq stated that while the timing of afinal decision by the Court is unknown, pending the outcome of the case Nasdaq may issue a new delisting determination.The Company has vigorously pursued its legal rights before the Court, and intends to continue to do so. It continues to believe that it is not a CCMC andthat the U.S. government’s actions are without factual and legal support. However, if the Court does not ultimately agree with the Company’s position, Luokungsecurities could be suspended from being traded on Nasdaq at some point in the future.Our ordinary shares may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for brokerdealers to complete customer transactions andtrading activity in our securities.Our ordinary shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocksgenerally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQsystem, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stockrules impose additional sales practice requirements on brokerdealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized riskdisclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.Moreover, brokerdealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A brokerdealer mustreceive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements maymake it more difficult for brokerdealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ordinaryshares may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ordinary shares.Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price ofour ordinary shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales mayhave on the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares.Subject to certain limitations all of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have amaterial adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.13Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, couldresult in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ordinary shares to fall.We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital byissuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in oneor more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more thanone transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and newinvestors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ordinary shares.We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development,operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return shareholders willtherefore be limited to the value of their ordinary shares.As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVIAct, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions byminority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and thecommon law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BritishVirgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of ourshareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes orjudicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to theUnited States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.As a result of all of the above, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against ourmanagement, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect theirinterests.British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstancesin which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights ofshareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are alsounlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to imposeliabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willgenerally recognize and enforce the nonpenal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.14The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if theshareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Actdealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents ofthe Company, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordancewith the general law and its memorandum of association and articles of association.There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law ofthe British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse tointerfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairsby the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and thecompany’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions ofthe company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are thefollowing: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts thatconstitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right tovote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights affordedminority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.Antitakeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a thirdpartyacquisition of us difficult.Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not offer those rights toordinary shareholders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ordinary shareholders are registered under the Securities Act, or thedistribution of them to ordinary shareholders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all ordinary shareholders. We are under noobligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to bedeclared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities.Accordingly, our ordinary shareholders may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.15We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ordinary shares.We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, inany given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held toproduce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However,because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation,including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, wecannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder’s ordinary sharescould be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest chargeon certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Noncorporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividendsreceived from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.If the trading price of our ordinary shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possibledelisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ordinary shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30consecutive business days. On April 13, 2020, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price ofour ordinary shares fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ CapitalMarket. Although the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we cannot be sure that the price of our ordinary shares willcomply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ordinary shares would be subjectto delisting and would likely trade on the overthecounter market. If our ordinary shares were to trade on the overthecounter market, selling our ordinary sharescould be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of usmay be reduced. In addition, brokerdealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage brokerdealers from effecting transactions inour ordinary shares, further limiting the liquidity of our ordinary shares. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, and you may find itmore difficult to sell our ordinary shares. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatlyimpair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.16ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.OverviewWe are a holding company and conduct our operations through our whollyowned subsidiary named LK Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limitedliability company (“LK Technology”), and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MMB Limited and its respective subsidiaries, which possess two core brands “Luokuang”and “SuperEngine”. “Luokuang” is a mobile application to provide Business to Customer (B2C) locationbased services and “SuperEngine” provides Business toBusiness (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) services in connection with spatialtemporal big data processing. In May 2010, we consummated an initial publicoffering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the tickersymbol “KONE”. On August 17, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”)entered into on January 25, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we changed our name to Luokung Technology Corp., our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) werevoluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on September 19, 2018 and on January 3, 2019 our ordinary shares started trading on NASDAQ under theticker symbol “LKCO”.On August 17, 2018, we consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which we exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock in TopskyInfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology (the “Asset Exchange”). In connection with theAsset Exchange, we changed our name on August 20, 2018, and on September 20, 2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited, the former parent of LKTechnology, (i) 185,412,599 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 of our preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the AssetExchange, we ceased our previous business operations and became a company focused on the provision of locationbased service and mobile application productsfor long distance rail travelers in China.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (“Shareholders”) of SuperengineHolding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Superengine”), pursuant to which LK Technologyacquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Superengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by theissuance of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shareson the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 months period preceding July 31, 2018. We are a party to the Agreement in connection with the issuance of theOrdinary Shares and certain other limited purposes.On August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests ofSaleya Holdings Limited (“Saleya”) from Saleya’s shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 836 million (approximately equivalent to $120 million), whichincludes approximately RMB 709 million (approximately equivalent to $101 million) in cash and the remaining RMB 127 million (approximately equivalent to $18million) will be paid by issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $7 per share. In connection with its acquisition of Saleya, as ofDecember 31, 2019 and on January 21, 2020, the Company made a partial cash payment of $14,334,451 and $18,539,343, respectively, and on February 5, 2020 it issued2,708,498 ordinary shares to certain shareholders of Saleya in accordance with Share Purchase Agreement. On December 5, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,310 ofSeries B preferred shares to two of the Saleya’s shareholders instead of a cash payment of $6,182,000 (RMB43,128,000) as a change of consideration for theacquisition of Saleya, On March 17, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Saleya, which is now a whollyowned subsidiary of theCompany.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock PurchaseAgreement with the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuantto which the Company acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which$1.5 million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain and the Company issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% ofBotbrain. The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.17On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Geely Technology Group Co., Ltd.

On December 24,2020, Geely Technology sent a notice of redemption. The Company is in negotiation for an extension with Geely Technology.On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Acuitas Capital, LLC. and a Warrant to purchase the Company’sordinary shares pursuant to which the Purchaser subscribed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of units with up to a $10,000,000 subscription at each closing, with eachUnit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. The Securities PurchaseAgreement contemplates periodic closings of $10,000,000. On July 16, 2020, the Company held the first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and received$10,000,000. The Purchaser had received 7,763,975 ordinary shares on November 13, 2019 in consideration for such $10,000,000. The Purchaser also exercised theWarrant and received 15,897,663 ordinary shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. On December 31, 2020, the Purchase Agreement has been terminated.On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into preferred stock subscription agreement with Daci Haojin Foundation Limited to issue 15,000,000 preferredshares for $45,000,000. Pursuant to the preferred stock subscription agreement the first closing will not occur until July 2020 and such closing will be for $13,500,000.Subsequent closings will occur on August 31 and September 30, 2020 for $13,500,000 and $18,000,000, respectively. However, due to the impact of the travelrestriction as a result of Covid19 between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Daci Haojin has not fulfilled their US dollars subscription obligations under thePreferred Financing Agreement and no such closings have occurred. As of December 31, 2020, Daci Haojin has wired RMB 17.4 million ($2.7 million) to the Companyand has represented to the Company that they are working to be able to comply with their contractual obligations to fund the $45,000,000 to the Company.

Our primary mobileapplication, the Luokuang platform, consists of the Luokuang mobile applications, a series of supporting software at the server end, and railWiFi hardware andequipment on the trains that we serve. The Luokuang platform incorporates technologies covered by 21 patents and about 48 software copyrights, and serves as acontent and service distribution platform that is tailored for particular travel stages featuring geographic location and social interactions. The content and servicesdistributed by Luokuang contain information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, online to offline (“O2O”), advertisement and other marketing features.Luokuang mainly provides personalized and targeted services to long distance travelers in two locations: on the train and at the destination. Based on thetravel environment, the core elements of our users’ needs include staving off boredom on trains and discovering and exploring new locations upon arrival. The mainservices contain entertainment services (videos and audio, digital readings, games specific and tailored to the travel stage) and social services (satisfying thedemand for value discovery of unfamiliar destinations through social interaction among strangers based on locations).We use the most valuable WiFi location—the train WiFi setting—as the entrance of our Luokuang platform and mobile applications. Passengers typicallyride trains for longdistance and interprovincial travel purposes. The long periods of monotonous journeys and the cost concerns for roaming traffic fees enable thecombination of entertainment content service needs and WiFi access needs. Our railWiFi becomes a valuable and sophisticated WiFi service in this setting—notjust WiFi connection service, but a provider of sophisticated services through a WiFi connection. We do not define ourselves as a train WiFi communicationservice operator but as a longdistance travel mobile service and locationbased service provider. The rail WiFi is our access point to a significant pool of users andthe entrance to acquiring additional users.The recommended services focus on providing targeted push services to users while travelling in unfamiliar cities. Local information and guidance serviceare precisely pushed according to individual user’s interest and taste, including restaurants, entertainment, living styles, local snacks, local products, scenic spots,cultural history and stories. The guidance service is User Generated Content which is shared and distributed by individual users including travelers, local residentsand local businesses.In June 2018, China Railway Gecent Technology Co., Ltd. (or “Gecent”) (established jointly by China Railway Investment Co., Ltd., Geely Holding Groupand Tencent Holdings Ltd.) obtained the exclusive right to build and operate ontrain WiFi for all the Highspeed trains in China. It provides a fulltravelling serviceincluding ontrain WiFi, entertainments, news, online meals order, online specialty retailer and connecting travel. As the pathfinder in ontrain WiFi market in China,we have accumulated great experiences and resources in construction and operation on train WiFi on express trains in China, which enable us to cooperate withGecent to provide locationbased services through the provision of our map SDKs (“Software Development Kit”) and APIs (“Applicationprogramming Interface”),including services at train stations covering navigation and OTO services, and to provide movie content SDK, movie copyrights and operating services to the usersof Gecent’s mobile application. Through the cooperation with Gecent, we are able to expand our services to more valuable highspeed train passengers, while thehighspeed train WiFi in China will cover about 3 billion passenger trips till the year of 2020.In the first half of 2019, we gradually terminated the WiFi provision for express trains because the increase in numbers of Highspeed trains led to theshrinkage of the passenger trips on express trains. At the beginning of 2019, we established a Luokung Locationbased services Data Marketing Platform(“LLDMP”), Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”) Data Marketing Platform, that combines our LBS strength with existing advertising tools. Our LBS capabilityincluding indoor floor maps, location information, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings covers high speed train stations,shopping malls, airports and so on.Through the acquisition of Superengine, we obtained patented technologies in spatialtemporal big data indexing, storage, transmission and visualizationthat can support the full vector maps without tile, which can be effectively applied to highdefinition (HD) maps, locationbased services, smart cities, intelligenttransportation systems, mapping and surveying, remote sensing and monitoring. We possess fifteen patents and nine patent application rights in U.S., Europe,Japan and China. We believe our graphics processing system is a thousand times more efficient than competing technologies in querying, retrieving, transmittingand rendering graphical information, and allowing Terabyte (TB) sized data to be released in seconds, which enable our customers to obtain realtime operationalintelligence by harnessing the value of their database.19Key TechnologiesWe believe our investments in our products and key technologies provide significant competitive differentiation and our technologies are disruptiveinnovations in computer graphics systems, spatialtemporal data analysis and processing. Our proprietary algorithms can eliminate certain timeconsuming steps indata preprocessing, and maintain same level of high system performance with the amount of data increasing by orders of magnitude. It enables a new wave oftechnological upgrades in related industries to do more with less time and less power consumption.Spatial temporal indexing technology.This technology provides an effective indexing technique, covering both spatial dimension and temporal dimension. It separates the data and indexes, andsolves the technological difficulties in spatial temporal big data processing, including storage, updating, management, indexing, reading, spatial relationshipcomputation and analysis. This technology allows the users to efficiently and accurately obtain the data they need, and minimizes the transmission of unnecessarydata, which achieves application efficiency not being affected even with explosive growth of data volume.Adaptive reduction and compression technologyThis technology allows full vector spatial data to be processed directly through the adaptive reduction and compression to meet the requirements oftransmission performance for internet application. Our competing technologies require preprocessing full vector data into tiles in a rasterized format or in a vectorformat.1.Spatial relationship could still be strictly maintained and correctly displayed after the reduction and compression2.The adaptive reduction and compression are lossless so that the display effect remains the same3.The reduction and compression allow rapid display of map in any network speed, adaptive to the network speed with dynamic adjustment of thedisplay effect.Progressive transmission technologyProgressive transmission technology is one of the key technologies to realize fast response in spatial data application. It supports lossless adaptiveprogressive transmission of spatial data, and the display and operation of map can be conducted with any network speed, for instance, by scaling, rotating, ortranslating. The display of map could be adjusted automatically in accordance with the network speed and users’ operation.Progressive transmission technology makes system response time independent from the growth of spatial data, and also solves the performance problem indealing with spatial temporal big data. The data integrity between users’ end and server is not compromised as the spatial relationship remains unchanged.Full vector nontiled technologyOn the strength of our technologies, we support realtime release and realtime update of spatial vector data without the preprocessing step to rasterize thevector data, and we also support personalized display and analysis for the application of spatial data in realtime dynamic environment. Our indexing technologyenables clients to establish a fast transmission channel between user and server, for both the large scope analysis and accurately pinning down details. Because theclient can access the complete vector data, it solves the problem that only partial analysis could be performed on tiles. This will greatly expand the data computingcapability of the client. In most scenarios, indexing can fulfill most of analysis requirements and application functions.Our ServicesLuokuang mobile application. We provide displaybased online advertising services to customers by integrating text description, image and video, anddisplaying the advertisements in prominent positions on Luokuang Application.20Luokung SDKs and APIs. Our location based products, Luokung SDKs and APIs, provide spatialtemporal big data analysis and customized map tosoftware and mobile application developers, and allow locationbased contents and information to be integrated and presented on the map, which enables softwareand mobile application developers to create more diversified business models and service functions.

The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of traffic acquisition costs which we acquired to support the LLDMP. Ourtraffic acquisition costs may vary due to a number of factors, including the scale, targeted audience and the geographic location of traffic. For the year 2018, thecosts of revenues primarily consist of depreciation, labor cost, WiFi equipment installation fees, data charges, annual payments to local railway bureaus, and otheroverhead costs.35Selling and marketing expenseOur selling and marketing expense mainly includes promotional and marketing expenses and compensation for our sales and marketing personnel.Selling expense totaled $3,764,792 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14,695,165 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of$10,930,373 or 74.4%.

We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis. We historically have relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to supplement our working capital. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, wehad cash balances of approximately $71,793 and $3,695,698, respectively. The significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in thePRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in our operations in the PRC.The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020:December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020December 31,2020December 31,2019ChangePercentage ChangeWorking capital (deficit) surplus:Total current assets$12,049,113$40,972,561$(28,923,448)(70.6)%Total current liabilities73,613,13830,687,75942,925,379139.9%Working capital (deficit) surplus:$(61,564,025)$10,284,802$(71,848,827)(698.6)%Our working capital decreased by $71,848,827 to a working capital deficit of $61,564,025 at December 31, 2020 from working capital of $10,284,802 atDecember 31, 2019.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The Mobile AudioVideo Program Notice provides that the mobile Internet audiovideo programservices shall be deemed Internet audiovideo program service. Entities which have obtained the approvals to provide the Internet audiovideo program servicesmay use mobile WAP websites or mobile applications to provide audiovideo program services. Entities with regulatory approvals may operate mobile applicationsto provide the audiovideo program services. The types of the programs shall be within the permitted scope as provided in the licenses and such mobile applicationsshall be filed with the SAPPRFT.Regulations on Production and Operation of Radio/Television ProgramsOn July 19, 2004, the SAPPRFT promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, or the Radioand Television Program Production Measures, which came into effect on August 20, 2004 and was amended on August 28, 2015. The Radio and Television ProgramProduction Measures provides that any business that produces or operates radio or television programs must first obtain a Radio and Television ProgramProduction and Operation Permit. Entities holding such permits shall conduct their business within the permitted scope as provided in their permits. In addition,foreigninvested enterprises are not allowed to engage in the abovementioned services.Regulations on Online Advertising ServicesOn April 24, 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the NewAdvertising Law, effective on September 1, 2015. The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016. The New Advertising Law and the SAIC Interim Measuresrequire that online advertisements may not affect users’ normal internet use and internet popup ads must display a “close” sign prominently and ensure onekeyclosing of the popup windows. The SAIC Interim Measures provides that all online advertisements must be marked “Advertisement” so that viewers can easilyidentify them as such. Moreover, the SAIC Interim Measures treats paid search results as advertisements that are subject to PRC advertisement laws, and requiresthat paid search results be conspicuously identified on search result pages as advertisements. The New Advertising Law and SAIC Interim Measures require us toconduct more stringent examination and monitoring of our advertisers and the content of their advertisements.Regulations on Online GamesIn September 2009, the GAPP (currently known as the SAPPRFT), together with the National Copyright Administration, and the National Office ofCombating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening on the Administration of Preexamination and Approval ofOnline Game and the Examination and Approval of Imported Online Game, or the Circular 13. The Circular 13 states that foreign investors are not permitted to investin online game operating businesses in the PRC via wholly foreignowned entities, Sinoforeign equity joint ventures or cooperative joint ventures or to exercisecontrol over or participate in the operation of domestic online game businesses through indirect means, such as other joint venture companies or contractual ortechnical arrangements. If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future. See “Risk Factors—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations inChina do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future,we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”64The Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, or the Online Game Measures, issued by the MOC, which took effect on August 1, 2010 andamended on December 15, 2017, regulates a broad range of activities related to the online games business, including the development, production and operation ofonline games, the issuance of virtual currencies used for online games, and the provision of virtual currency trading services. The Online Game Measures providesthat any entity that is engaged in online game operations must obtain a Network Cultural Business Permit, and require the content of an imported online game to beexamined and approved by the MOC prior to the game’s launch and require a domestic online game to be filed with the MOC within 30 days after its launch. TheNotice of the Ministry of Culture on the Implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games, which was issued by the MOC on July 29,2010 to implement the Online Game Measures, (i) requires online game operators to protect the interests of online game users and specifies that certain terms thatmust be included in service agreements between online game operators and the users of their online games, (ii) requires content review of imported online gamesand filing procedures for domestic online games, (iii) emphasizes the protection of minors playing online games, and (iv) requests online game operators to promoterealname registration by their game users.Regulations on Information Security, Censorship and PrivacyThe Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislative body, enacted the Decisions on the Maintenance of InternetSecurity on December 28, 2000 that may subject persons to criminal liabilities in China for any attempt to use the internet to: (i) gain improper entry to a computer orsystem of strategic importance; (ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak state secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information or (v) infringe uponintellectual property rights. In 1997, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Administration Measures on the Security Protection of Computer InformationNetwork with International Connections which prohibits using the internet to leak state secrets or to spread socially destabilizing materials. If an ICP license holderviolates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law issuedby the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on August 29, 2015, effective on November 1, 2015, any ICP provider that fails to fulfill the obligationsrelated to internet information security as required by applicable laws and refuses to take corrective measures, will be subject to criminal liability for (i) any largescale dissemination of illegal information; (ii) any severe effect due to the leakage of users’ personal information; (iii) any serious loss of evidence of criminalactivities; or (iv) other severe situations, and any individual or entity that (i) sells or provides personal information to others unlawfully or (ii) steals or illegallyobtains any personal information will be subject to criminal liability in severe situations.The Cybersecurity Law of the PRC, or the Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated on November 7, 2016 by the Standing Committee of the NationalPeople’s Congress and came into effect on June 1, 2017, provides that network operators shall meet their cyber security obligations and shall take technicalmeasures and other necessary measures to protect the safety and stability of their networks. Under the Cybersecurity Law, network operators are subject to varioussecurity protectionrelated obligations, including: (i) network operators shall comply with certain obligations regarding maintenance of the security of internetsystems; (ii) network operators shall verify users’ identities before signing agreements or providing certain services such as information publishing or realtimecommunication services; (iii) when collecting or using personal information, network operators shall clearly indicate the purposes, methods and scope of theinformation collection, the use of information collection, and obtain the consent of those from whom the information is collected; (iv) network operators shall strictlypreserve the privacy of user information they collect, and establish and maintain systems to protect user privacy; (v) network operators shall strengthenmanagement of information published by users, and when they discover information prohibited by laws and regulations from publication or dissemination, theyshall immediately stop dissemination of that information, including taking measures such as deleting the information, preventing the information from spreading,saving relevant records, and reporting to the relevant governmental agencies.Relevant Regulations of Hightech EnterprisesThe Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the certainstandards on April 14, 2008 to certify Hightech enterprises and encourage and support the development of the Chinese Hightech enterprises. Under the HightechEnterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a Hightech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, theMinistry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer andnetwork technology industries are recognized as Hightech fields. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine GraphicsSoftware Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.65Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property RightsChina has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the maininternational conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon itsaccession to the WTO in December 2001.PatentsThe “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, adopted in 1985 andrevised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twentyyearpatent term for inventions and a tenyear patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this annual report on Form 20F, through LuokungTechnology, we have been granted 20 patents by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protectionsprovided under the Patent Law for twenty years.Computer Software Copyright and AdministrationOn December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the“Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research andapplication and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legalpersons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. Theprotection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initialpublication date of such computer software. Currently, Luokung Technology has 34registration certificates for software copyrights.TrademarksThe “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protectsregistered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a termof ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks.Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time becausethe customer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of sale of a software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetuallicense fees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solutionservices that enable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the software is provided to our customers.Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodicreview of outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’spolicy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.38Impairment of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of theseassets may not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS.On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of theCayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its whollyowned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares ofthe Company, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equityinterests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its whollyowned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectivelycontrolled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.To consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company obtained shareholder consent at a special meeting held on May 20, 2018, (i)to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to listsuch Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT. We are not aware ofany online game companies which use the same or similar contractual arrangements having been challenged by the SAPPRFT as using those contractualarrangements as an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise control over or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business or having beenpenalized or ordered to terminate operations since the Circular 13 became effective. However, it is unclear whether and how the Circular 13 might be interpreted orimplemented in the future.

Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, whichincluded inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.General and administrative expenseOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, rent, fees and expenses forlegal, accounting and other professional services.General and administrative expense totaled $22,844,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $6,750,417 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $16,093,966 or 238.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees of approximately $5,944,000, which is mainlyrelated to the completion of the AEA transaction and an increase of impairment loss of approximately $8,696,000 including an increase in allowance for doubtfulreceivables of approximately $10,223,000, offset by a decrease in bad debts written off of approximately $869,000, a decrease in impairment loss over the intangibleassets of approximately $724,000 and a decrease in impairment loss over the property, plant and equipment of approximately $108,000.Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of amortization of the intangible assets, and salaries and benefits for research and developmentpersonnel.Research and development expenses totaled $8,710,746 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $3,478,570 for the year ended December 31,2018, an increase of $5,232,176 or 150.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of the intangible assets of approximately$3,648,000, which was recognized as a result of the acquisition of Super Engine Holdings Limited in accordance to Purchase Price Allocation and an increase insalaries and benefits for the sales and research and development personnel of approximately $1,180,000.Loss from operationsAs a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to $31,516,765, as compared to loss fromoperations of $10,819,852 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,696,913, or 191.3%.Other income/expenseOther income/expense mainly includes interest expenses from other loans and foreign currency gains/losses.For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expense, net, amounted to $505,438 as compared to other expense, net, of $1,033,675 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, a decrease of $528,237, or 51.1%, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $506,000and an increase in other income of approximately $44,000, offset by an increase in interest expenses of approximately $22,000.36Income taxWe had income tax benefit of $70,992 for the year ended 2019 and income tax expense of $74,009 for the year ended 2018, respectively. We are subject tovarious rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the BVI, Hong Kong and thePRC.BVIWe are an exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to income,corporation or capital gains tax in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in theBritish Virgin Islands.Hong KongOur subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted fromincome tax on their foreignderived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.PRCGenerally, our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in thePRC at a rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.An enterprise may benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law if it qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise, which is normallyeffective for a period of three years. Our subsidiaries, Beijing Zhong Chuan Shi Xun Technology Limited and Superengine Graphics Software TechnologyDevelopment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd are a Hightech enterprise and enjoy a favorable income tax rate of 15%.Net lossAs a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,951,211 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $11,927,536 for theyear ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $20,023,675 or 167.9%.Net loss attributable to owners of the CompanyThe net loss attributable to owners of the Company was $31,513,178, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2019,compared to net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $11,927,536, or $0.16 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2018, achange of $19,585,642 or 164.2%.Foreign currency translation adjustmentOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our parent company and subsidiaries of LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media isthe U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of oursubsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for theperiod) for revenue, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements ofoperations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of$541,489 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $447,246 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This noncashgain/loss had the effect of increasing/decreasing our reported comprehensive income/loss.37Comprehensive lossAs a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $31,409,722, compared tocomprehensive loss of $11,480,290 for the year ended December 31, 2018.Critical accounting policiesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in ourfinancial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.Based on this definition, our most critical policies include revenue recognition, impairment of longlived assets and goodwill, allowance for expected credit lossesand valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We believe that our other policies either do not generally requireus to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported financial conditionand results of operations for a given period. For a discussion of all our significant accounting policies, see footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in this Annual Report.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Advertising servicesWe derive our revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers on the strength of the LBS services we offer; the customers pay usbased on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), and CPC (Cost Per Click).

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value oflonglived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentof the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. The Companydetermined that there was no impairment of longlived assets.Impairment of goodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, which requires that goodwillto be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC35020. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than itscarrying amount, the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Companyconsiders primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related tothe operations. In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unitbased on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fairvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carryingvalue of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generateand determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, theCompany recorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomicconditions, industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. TheCompany completed step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected togenerate and determined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore,step two is not required and no impairment loss on goodwill is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.Allowance for expected credit losses39Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementof Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared toprior periods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions inthe reserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019.The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historicaldefault, current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, themethodologies that the Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based uponcurrent information available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based onappropriate groupings.The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporateprofits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historicalexperiences, portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating tospecific industries and clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts ofthese variables over two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlooking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financialstatements, and net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assetsare reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not berealized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to besustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.Additionally, the Company classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, theCompany did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain taxpositions.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), whicheliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculatingincome taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxesby clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition offranchise tax and the evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periodswithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect thatits adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or liquidity. 40B.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.57Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acthonestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the company. Additionally, the director shall exercise the care, diligence andskill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the positionof the director and his responsibilities. In addition, British Virgin Islands law provides that a director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose andshall not act, or agree to the company acting, in a manner that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company.Amendment of Governing DocumentsUnder Delaware corporate law, with very limited exceptions, a vote of the stockholders is required to amend the certificate of incorporation. Under BritishVirgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, (i) our shareholders may amend our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation by a resolution of shareholders, or (ii) our board of directors may amend our memorandum of association and articles of association by a resolution ofdirectors without a requirement for a resolution of shareholders so long as the amendment does not:●restrict the rights of the shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association;●change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend the memorandum of association and articles ofassociation;●amend the memorandum of association and articles of association in circumstances where the memorandum of association and articles of associationcannot be amended by the shareholders; or●amend the provisions of memorandum of association or the articles of association pertaining to “rights, privileges, restrictions and conditionsattaching to shares,” “rights not varied by the issue of shares pari passu,” “variation of class rights” and “amendment of memorandum and articles ofassociation”.58Written Consent of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, directors may act by written consent only on the basis of a unanimous vote. Under British Virgin Islands law, directors maypass a written resolution (a) by such majority of the votes of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution as may be specified in the memorandum of associationor articles of association or (b) in the absence of any provision in the memorandum of association or the articles of association, by all the directors entitled to voteon the resolution. Our articles of association provide that a resolution consented to in writing by the directors may be passed by a simply majority of the directors orof all members of the committee, as the case may be.Written Consent of ShareholdersUnder Delaware corporate law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting ofstockholders of a corporation, may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that wouldbe necessary to take such action at a meeting. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, subject to the memorandum or articles of association, an action that may betaken by members of the company at a meeting of shareholders may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Our articles of associationprovide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a resolution consented to at a meeting of shareholders or in writing by a majority ofshareholders entitled to vote thereon. Shareholder ProposalsUnder Delaware corporate law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with thenotice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governingdocuments, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association provide that our directorsshall call a meeting of the shareholders if requested in writing to do so by shareholders entitled to exercise 30% or more of our outstanding voting shares in respectof the matter for which the meeting is requested.Sale of AssetsUnder Delaware corporate law, a vote of the stockholders is required to approve the sale of assets only when all or substantially all assets are being sold. Inthe British Virgin Islands, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% of the company’s total assets by value are being disposed of or sold.Dissolution; Winding UpUnder Delaware corporate law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of thecorporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware corporate law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority votingrequirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our articles of association, we may be voluntarilyliquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if we have no liabilities or we are able to pay our debts as they falldue and the value of our assets equals or exceeds our liabilities.Redemption of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, any stock may be made subject to redemption by the corporation at its option or at the option of the holders of such stockprovided there remains outstanding shares with full voting power. Such stock may be made redeemable for cash, property or rights, as specified in the certificate ofincorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors providing for the issue of such stock. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum ofassociation and articles of association, shares may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us. Our directors must determine that immediately followingthe redemption or repurchase we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due and the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities.Variation of Rights of SharesUnder Delaware corporate law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of suchclass, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, and our memorandum of association and articles ofassociation, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the consent in writing ofholders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of that class and holders of not less than threefourths of the issued shares of any other class of shareswhich may be affected by the variation.59Removal of DirectorsUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of theoutstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association andarticles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders.MergersUnder the BVI Act, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with the statutory provisions. A merger means the merging of two ormore constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a newcompany. In order to merger or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must beauthorized by a resolution of shareholders.Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation containsany provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum association or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on theproposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote atthe meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.Inspection of Books and RecordsUnder Delaware corporate law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list ofshareholders and other books and records. Holders of our shares have no general right under British Virgin Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list ofshareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide holders of our shares with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can FindAdditional Information.”Conflict of InterestThe BVI Act provides that a director shall, after becoming aware that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company,disclose that interest to the board of directors of the company. The failure of a director to disclose that interest does not affect the validity of a transaction enteredinto by the director or the company, so long as the director’s interest was disclosed to the board prior to the company’s entry into the transaction or was notrequired to be disclosed (for example where the transaction is between the company and the director himself or is otherwise in the ordinary course of business andon usual terms and conditions). As permitted by British Virgin Islands law and our memorandum of association and articles of association, a director interested in aparticular transaction may vote on it, attend meetings at which it is considered, and sign documents on our behalf which relate to the transaction.Transactions with Interested ShareholdersDelaware corporate law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation hasspecifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain businesscombinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholdergenerally is a person or group who or that owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect oflimiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a twotiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if,among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware publiccorporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.60British Virgin Islands law has no comparable provision. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delawarebusiness combination statute. However, although British Virgin Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, itdoes provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on theminority shareholders.Independent DirectorsThere are no provisions under Delaware corporate law or under the BVI Act that require a majority of our directors to be independent.Cumulative VotingUnder Delaware corporate law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the company’s certificate of incorporation specificallyprovides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholderto cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.There are no prohibitions to cumulative voting under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, but our memorandum of association and articles of association do notprovide for cumulative votingAntitakeover Provisions in Our Memorandum of association and articles of associationSome provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company ormanagement that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more seriesand to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.C.

The New Advertising Law increases the potential legal liability of advertising services providers and strengthensregulations of false advertising. On July 4, 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, issued the Interim Measures of theAdministration of Online Advertising, or the SAIC Interim Measures, effective on September 1, 2016.

If the our contractual arrangements were deemed under the Circular 13 to be an “indirect means” for foreign investors to exercise controlover or participate in the operation of a domestic online game business, our contractual arrangements might be challenged by the SAPPRFT.

China has a “firsttoregister” system that requires no evidence of prior use orownership. Luokung Technology has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this annual report on Form 20F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled tothe protection under the Trademark Law.Foreign Currency ExchangeOn August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the RelevantOperating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreignfunded Enterprises, orCircular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currencydenominated capital of a foreigninvested company may only be used for purposeswithin the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specificallyprovided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans ifthe proceeds of such loans have not been used.See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRCentities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operatingsubsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.66Dividend DistributionWe are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through LK Technology. We rely on dividends andother distributions from our LK Technology and its subsidiaries to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSsand meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreignowned enterprises include:1.Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and2.Implementation Rules on Wholly ForeignOwned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.Under these regulations, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined inaccordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreignowned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of theiraftertax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registeredcapital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its aftertax profits to staffwelfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore TransactionsIn October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return InvestmentActivities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and wasfurther supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registrationwith the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company withassets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident isalso required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, orany other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equityinvestment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from theirshareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFENotice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments orshareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or thereturn of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, theincrease of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our onshore companies.67E. TAXATIONThe following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs andthe ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof ineffect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment inthe securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to LuokungTechnology Corp..British Virgin Islands TaxationUnder the laws of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable forBritish Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gainsrealized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by acompany incorporated or reregistered under the BVI Act.There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares ofcompanies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the BritishVirgin Islands.People’s Republic of China TaxationIn 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Thenew EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreigninvested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treatywith China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de factomanagement body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income taxrate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that hasmaterial and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of ourmanagement are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we aredeemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directlyfrom another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise,we may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit thepayment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our historical tax rates may not be indicative of our tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs orordinary shares may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable byus are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business inChina — If we were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EITLaw and our nonPRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.68United States Federal Income TaxationGeneralThe following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities.This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal gift or estate tax or the state, local or nonU.S. tax consequences of an investment in the securities.YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NONU.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OFPURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SECURITIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.This discussion applies only to those investors that purchase the securities in this offering and that hold the securities as capital assets within the meaningof section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This section does not apply to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,including but not limited to:1.dealers in securities or currencies;2.traders in securities that elect to use a marktomarket method of accounting;3.banks, insurance companies or certain financial institutions;4.taxexempt organizations;5.governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;6.partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or other passthrough entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons holding thesecurities through such entities;7.regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;8.holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;9.holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;10.holders that acquired the securities pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, in connection with employee stock incentive plans orotherwise as compensation;11.holders that hold the securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; or12.holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrativeguidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or differentinterpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree withthe discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulingsor court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federalincome tax purposes:1.a citizen or resident of the United States;2.a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or3.organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;4.an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or695.a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.6.persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity for U.S.federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “NonU.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to NonU.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to NonU.S. Holders.”If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. taxtreatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is apartnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of thesecurities.This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration forthe sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars.Tax Consequences to U.S. HoldersTaxation of DistributionsSubject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to aU.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulatedearnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinaryincome on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to noncorporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning beforeJanuary 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable longterm capital gains rate provided that (a) our shares are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’sRepublic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we arenot a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirementsare met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our shares.Dividends will not be eligible for the dividendsreceived deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S.corporations. Generally, if we distribute noncash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earningsand profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of theproperty, on the date that it is distributed.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a nontaxablereturn of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits inaccordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes.If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxeseligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under theU.S.PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability ofany such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.70Taxation of Dispositions of SharesSubject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federalincome tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of anoncorporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deductcapital losses is subject to limitations.If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against suchholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.PRC Tax Treaty.Passive Foreign Investment CompanyWe do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or notwe are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on thetypes of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurancesthat we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:1.at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or2.at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for theproduction of passive income.Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), theexcess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated asowning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least25% (by value) of the stock.If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a marktomarket election, asdescribed below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:1.any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder(generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the averageannual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter,such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares).Under these rules:2.the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares;3.the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;4.the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest taxrate in effect for that year; and5.the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of theU.S. Holder.6.Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.71Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may makea marktomarket election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on anational securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rulesdescribed above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end ofthe taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates andwould not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect ofthe excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previouslyincluded income as a result of the marktomarket election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S.Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a marktomarket election with respect to their shares.Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our or shares by making a timely“qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as longterm capital gain) and other earnings and profits (asordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits asrequired under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electingfund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their or shares.If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding suchholder’s shares or and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is notapplicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares.Tax Consequences to NonU.S. HoldersDividends paid to a NonU.S. Holder in respect of our or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectivelyconnected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable toa permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).In addition, a NonU.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 or sharesunless 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, isattributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the NonU.S. Holder is an individual who is present in theUnited States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United Statessources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the NonU.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as fora U.S. Holder and, in the case of a NonU.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits taxat a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.72Information Reporting and Backup WithholdingIn general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the UnitedStates to a noncorporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a noncorporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S.office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to informationreporting in limited circumstances.Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to theIRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these informationreporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other requiredcertification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRSForm W9.A NonU.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreignstatus, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a nonU.S.Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OFTHE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROMPURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCALOR NONU.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.F.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATIONFor a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”73ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.Interest Rate RiskAs of December 31, 2020, we had a loan from Geely Technology which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. If we borrow money with variableinterest in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest incomegenerated by our cash deposits with our banks. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earning instrumentscarry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, ourfuture interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskTranslation adjustments amounted to $2,937,074 loss and $541,489 gains as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheCompany translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2020 at RMB6.5243 to $1.00 as compared to RMB6.9762 to $1.00 atDecember 31, 2019. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the fiscalyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were RMB6.9001 and RMB6.8985 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stableexchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. Our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchangerate.If we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes,appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capitalaccount transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from orlending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to beapproved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of ForeignExchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuouslyfinance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit ourability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC,therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excesscash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct crossborder cash management activities to optimizethe utilization of our cash.InflationAlthough China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. Accordingto the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduceinflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, theconsumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half apercentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010,the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.China consumer price index in December 2020 was 6.7% higher than that of the same period in 2019. China consumer price index in December 2019 was 2.6%higher than that of the same period in 2018. China consumer price index in December 2018 was 0.1% higher than that of the same period in 2017.China consumer priceindex in December 2017 was 0.3% lower than that of the same period in 2016. China consumer price index in December 2016 was 0.5% higher than that of the sameperiod in 2015. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likelyimpact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.74ITEM 12.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer have each concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the materialweakness described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below. However, we performed adequate analyses andprocedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statementsincluded in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operationsand cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officerand principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.effect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses. We also reviewed subsequent events and transactions and considered whether they corroborated or contradicted the Company’s estimationconclusion./s/ Moore Stephens CPA LimitedCertified Public AccountantsWe have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.Hong KongMay 14, 2021F4LUOKUNG TECHNOLOGY CORP.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(IN U.S. DOLLARS)NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONLuokung Technology Corp. (“LKCO”), formerly Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands onOctober 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has whollyowned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its whollyownedsubsidiaries include: Topsky Infotech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd.(“Softech”), which was established in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China on November 27, 2009 by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd.(“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001.On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its whollyowned subsidiaries,Topsky and Softech, from November 30 to September 30 so as to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.On May 14, 2010, Kingtone Wireless completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed itsADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” Kingtone Wireless sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary sharesand received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.On August 17, 2018, Kingtone Wireless consummated an asset exchange transaction, pursuant to which it exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock inTopsky InfoTech Holdings Pte Ltd., the parent of Softech, for the issued and outstanding capital stock of LK Technology Ltd. (“LK Technology”) (the “AssetExchange”). In connection with the Asset Exchange, Kingtone Wireless changed its name to Luokung Technology Corp. on August 20, 2018, and on September 20,2018, issued to the shareholders of C Media Limited (“C Media”), the former parent of LK Technology, (i) 185,412,599 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per shareand (ii) 1,000,000 of its preferred shares. Upon the consummation of the Asset Exchange, LKCO ceased the previous business operations and became a companyfocused on the provision of WiFi and mobile application products for long distance rail travelers in China.Following the consummation of the Asset Exchange, on October 4, 2018, LKCO changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to the fiscal year end of LKTechnology, December 31.On August 25, 2018, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Superengine Holding Limited (“Superengine”), a limitedliability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LK Technology acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares ofSuperengine for an aggregate purchase price of US$60 million (the “Purchase Price”), which was paid by the issuance of its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal tothe quotient of (x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market over the 12 monthsperiod preceding July 31, 2018. Further details are in Note 3.On May 10, 2019 and November 6, 2020, LK Technology entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and The Supplementary Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreementwith the shareholders of Botbrain AI Limited (“Botbrain”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which LKTechnology acquired 67.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of Botbrain for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (RMB 16.4 million), of which $1.5million (RMB 9.6 million) was to be paid in cash to obtain 20% of Botbrain; and LKCO issued 1,789,618 ordinary shares to acquire the remaining 47.36% of Botbrain.The closing of the acquisition was completed on December 4, 2020.F9LKCO, its subsidiaries and its VIEs (collectively the “Company”) operate two core business brands, “Luokuang” and “SuperEngine”, Luokuang is a mobileapplication service for longdistance travel in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is built as an locationbased social contents and servicesdistribution platform. It offers functions based on various travel scenarios, e.g. information, entertainment, travel, ecommerce, Online to Offline (“O2O”),advertising, etc. In the first half of 2019, the Company gradually terminated the WiFi provisions for express trains because the increase in numbers of highspeedtrains led to the shrinkage of the passenger trips of express trains. At the beginning of 2019, the Company established a Luokung Locationbased services (“LBS”)Data Marketing Platform (“LLDMP”) that combines its LBS capability with existing advertising tools. Its LBS capability includes indoor floor maps, locationinformation, and point of interest for more than twenty thousand commercial buildings, which cover high speed train stations, shopping malls, airports and otherlocations with significant pedestrian traffic.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE providesexclusive business services to the VIE. In exchange, the VIE pays a service fee to the WFOE which typically amounts to what would be substantially all ofthe VIE’s pretax profit, resulting in a transfer of substantially all of the profits from the VIE to the WFOE.Other arrangementsThe exclusive call option agreements described above also enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs bytypically entitling the WFOEs to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIEs and to any distributions or proceeds from the disposal by theVIE equity holders of their equity interests in the VIEs that are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIEs.Based on these contractual agreements, the Company believes that the PRC domestic companies as described above should be considered as VIEs because theequity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Given that the Company is the primarybeneficiary of these PRC domestic companies, the Company believes that these VIEs should be consolidated based on the structure as described above.Under the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and can have assetstransferred out of the consolidated VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs that can be usedonly to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limitedliability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of theliabilities of the consolidated VIEs.Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Company to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIEs. However, as theCompany conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its consolidated VIEs, the Company has provided and will continue toprovide financial support to the consolidated VIEs considering the business requirements of the consolidated VIEs, as well as the Company’s own businessobjectives in the future.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. The most significant estimates are the allowance for expected credit losses, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and impairment of longlived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.F13Fair value measurementsFair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded atfair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants woulduse when pricing the asset or liability.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements provides a fair value hierarchy whichprioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement inits entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:Level 1Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such asquoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequenttransactions (less active markets); or modelderived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,observable market data.Level 3Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair valueof the assets or liabilities.CashCash primarily consist of cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates their fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, theCompany has no cash equivalents.Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit lossesAccounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.Allowance for expected credit lossesEffective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 201613 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments”. The Company estimates its allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, compared to priorperiods which were estimated using an incurred loss model which did not require the consideration of forwardlooking economic variables and conditions in thereserve calculation across the portfolio. The impact related to adopting the new standard was not material. Certain changes resulting from the new standardimpacted the Company’s description of its significant accounting policies compared to 2019. The Company estimates its allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables by considering past events, including any historical default,current economic conditions and certain forwardlooking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of January 1, 2020, the methodologies thatthe Company uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows:Individually evaluated—The Company reviews all accounts and other receivables considered at risk semiannually and performs an analysis based upon currentinformation available about the customers and other debtors, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net ofrepossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cashflow for the accounts and other receivables and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss isprobable, the Company records a specific allowance.Collectively evaluated—The Company determines its allowances for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriategroupings.F14The Company considers forwardlooking macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits whenquantifying the impact of economic forecasts on its allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences,portfolio composition and current environment. The Company also considers the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industriesand clientcredit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Under this approach, forecasts of these variablesover two years are considered reasonable and supportable. Beyond two years, the Company reverts to longterm average loss experience. Forwardlookingestimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.Property and equipment, netProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated usefullives:WiFi equipment– 3 yearsOffice and other equipment– 3 to 5 yearsVehicles– 5 yearsCosts of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is thedifference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations andcomprehensive loss. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts andany resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.Intangible assetsIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straightline method over the estimated economic lives.Intangible assets have weighted average economic lives from the date of purchase as follows:Copyright– 10 yearsTrademarks– 10 yearsPatents– 10 yearsSoftware– 5 yearsGoodwillThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic 35020, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 35020”), whichrequires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as definedby ASC 35020.The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test in accordance with ASC 35020. Ifthe Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is morelikelythannot that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,the quantitative impairment test described below is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primaryfactors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Inperforming the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on eitherquoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the carrying value of thereporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.In 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions,industry and market conditions, and financial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Companycompleted the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate anddetermined after evaluating the results, events and circumstances, that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair values. Therefore, the Companyrecorded impairment on goodwill of $3,619,968 of Zhong Chuan Rui You due to shift of the focus of business development.Prior to adoption of ASU No. 201704, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment”, in 2019, the Company performeda qualitative assessment for goodwill and evaluated all relevant factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, andfinancial performance. The Company concluded that it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment. The Company completed step one of the quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment based on the discounted future cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate and determined after evaluating theresults, events and circumstances, that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, step two was not required and no impairmentloss on goodwill was required for the year ended December 31, 2019.F15Impairment or disposal of longlived assetsLonglived assets other than goodwill are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of these assetsmay not be recoverable. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of longlived assets by first grouping its longlived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of thecash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with andexpected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cashflows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the longlived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair valuethrough quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis using a discountedcash flow methodology or by obtaining external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on anumber of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group,discount rate and longterm growth rate.As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company assessed the impairment of its longlived assets and identified impairment indications. For intangible assets, theimpairment loss was $nil, $ nil and $724,437 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as the Company was not going to use a software system that waspurchased in 2014 and written off in 2018. For property plant and equipment, the impairment loss was $nil, $95,471 and $1,228,362 for the years ended 2020, 2019 and2018, respectively.Business combinationThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.Acquisition method accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities theCompany acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date ofexchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of theacquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired orassumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the totalcost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fairvalue of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings.Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Displaybased online advertising servicesThe Company derives its revenue from the provision of user acquisition services to our advertisers. On the strength of the LBS services we offer, the customers payus based on performance, as measured by CPI (Cost Per Install), CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click). The Company recognizes revenue over time because thecustomer receives and consumes the benefit of our advertising services throughout the contract period.Software and servicesThe Company generates revenues primarily in the form of a sale of software license and provision of technology services. License fees include perpetual licensefees, term license fees and royalties. Technology services primarily consist of fees for providing technology support services and technology solution services thatenable customers to gain realtime operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data.Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the right to use the softwares is provided to our customers.F16Technology support service revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed because the customer receives and consumes the benefit of ourperformance throughout the contract period. Technology solution service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service is completed. We bill for theservices we have performed in accordance with the terms of the contract. We recognize the revenues associated with these professional services as we deliver theservices to the customers.The Company does not offer credits or refunds and therefore has not recorded any sales return allowance for any of the periods presented. Upon a periodic reviewof outstanding accounts receivable, amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s policyis to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.Contract liabilities represent prepayments from customers and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered.The following table shows the amount of revenue recognized that were included in contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2020:January 1, 2019$1,351,418Revenue recognised in 2019(749,919)Increase in contract liabilities1,543,130Exchange difference(77,272)December 31, 20192,067,357Revenue recognised in 2020(566,587)Other income recognised in 2020(1,449,254)Increase in contract liabilities578,945Exchange difference27,081December 31, 2020$657,542Disaggregation of revenueThe following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by product line (dollars in thousands)Fiscal Year Ended December 31,202020192018(dollars in thousands)RevenuesAdvertising$17,895$17,806$20,703License69203Technology Services300973136Total revenues$18,264$18,779$21,042Advertising98.0%94.8%98.3%License0.4%1.0%Technology Services1.6%5.2%0.7%Total100.0%100.0%100.0%Foreign currency translationThe functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”).The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), whichis the functional currency of these entities.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at theapplicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.The Company’s entities with a functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reportingcurrency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translatedusing the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulativetranslation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income.F17Earnings per shareASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator anddenominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects thepotential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceof common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stockoutstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, commonstock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuableupon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share if their effect would be antidilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation ofdiluted shares outstanding as they would have had an antidilutive impact. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentiallydilutive securities. The following is a table of basic and diluted net loss per share:Year Ended December 31,202020192018Net loss available to owners of the Company for basic and diluted net loss per share of ordinary stock$(39,865,640)$(31,513,178)$(11,927,536)Weighted average ordinary stock outstanding basic and diluted221,984,037201,005,99572,919,624Net loss per ordinary share attributable to owners of the Company basic and diluted$(0.18)$(0.16)$(0.16)Income taxesDeferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Currentincome taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company as enacted by the relevant tax authorities.The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is morelikelythan not to be sustained uponaudit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, theCompany classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. For years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company didnot have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions nor did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.ContingenciesThe Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as anydevelopments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer(“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance andallocating resources. The Company had one single operating and reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company’scustomers and assets are located in the PRC, therefore, no geographical segment information is presented.F18Related partiesParties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are undercommon control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principalowners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence themanagement or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. TheCompany discloses all significant related party transactions.LeasesAccording to FASB ASC 842 “Leases”, lessees are required to record a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases other than those that have a lease term of12 months or less. At the lease commencement date, a lessee should measure and record the lease liability equals to the present value of scheduled lease paymentsdiscounted using the rate implicit in the lease or the lease’s incremental borrowing rate, and the right of use asset is calculated on the basis of the initialmeasurement of the lease liability, plus any lease payments at or before the commencement date and direct costs, minus any incentives received. Over the lease term,a lessee must amortize the right of use asset and record the interest expense on the lease liability. The recognition and classification of lease expenses depend on theclassification of the lease as either operating or finance.When the Company is the lessor, minimum contractual rental from leases is recognized on a straightline basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. Withrespect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenuerecognized for the period. Straightline rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straightline rents receivablerepresents the amount by which straightline rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. If later, the billing amount exceedsthe straightline rental revenue, the variance will be credited to accrued straightline rents receivable. Contingent rental revenue is accrued when the contingency isremoved.Advertising costsAdvertising costs include expenses associated with direct marketing. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs amounted to $133,634, $1,425,258 and $14,071,241, respectively.Comprehensive lossComprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years endedDecember 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company placesits cash with financial institutions with highcredit rating and quality in China. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 40.4% of totalrevenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 57% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, four customersaccounted for 91% of total revenue. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninured cash in banks of $71,793 and $3,695,687,respectively.F19The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:Year Ended December 31,Customer202020192018A21%33%B12%C12%D26%E26%F25%G14%H10%I10%14%The following customers had balances of at least 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:December 31,Customer20202019A12%%E%31%F%29%B%15%I19%12%H28%%J18%%K11%%Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 201912, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 201912”), which eliminates certainexceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in aninterim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying andamending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax andthe evaluation of a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 201912 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within thosefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU, however, does not expect that its adoptionwill have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.F20In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 202001, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), andDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 202001”) to clarify the interaction inaccounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certainforward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 202001 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,beginning after December 15, 2020.

Such limitation ofliability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors underUnited States federal securities laws.We may indemnify any of our directors or anyone serving at our request as a director of another entity against all expenses, including legal fees, andagainst all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. We mayonly indemnify a director if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with the view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the director hadno reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision of our board of directors as to whether the director acted honestly and in goodfaith with a view to our best interests and as to whether the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, is in the absence offraud sufficient for the purposes of indemnification, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,conviction or the entry of no plea does not, by itself, create a presumption that a director did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to our best interestsor that the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If a director to be indemnified has been successful in defense of anyproceedings referred to above, the director is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paidin settlement and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings.We may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against the directors or officers andincurred by the directors or officers in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the directors or officers against the liabilityas provided in our memorandum of association and articles of association.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, wehave been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actand is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.Differences in Corporate LawWe were incorporated under, and are governed by, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The corporate statutes of the State of Delaware and the BritishVirgin Islands are similar, and the flexibility available under British Virgin Islands law has enabled us to adopt memorandum of association and articles of associationthat will provide shareholders with rights that do not vary in any material respect from those they would enjoy if we were incorporated under the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law, or Delaware corporate law. Set forth below is a summary of some of the differences between provisions of the BVI Act applicable to us and thelaws application to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.2Director’s Fiduciary DutiesUnder Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders. This duty has twocomponents: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent personwould exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to stockholders, all material information reasonablyavailable regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of thecorporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits selfdealing by a director and mandates that the bestinterest of the corporation and its stockholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling stockholder and not shared by thestockholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the actiontaken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should suchevidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fairvalue to the corporation.British Virgin Islands law provides that every director of a British Virgin Islands company in exercising his powers or performing his duties shall acteffect on the financial statements.Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective canprovide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is arisk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitationsare known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.76Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013).” TheCOSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) controlactivities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2020 was not effective because of the following material weakness:Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generallyaccepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAPbased reporting, including theskills of U.S. GAAPbased period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding ofU.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoringthe effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed adequateanalyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidatedfinancial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position,results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reportingbecause the Company is a nonaccelerated filer exempted from section 404(b) of the SarbanesOxley Act.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that hasmaterially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 16A.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms.Yang Zhou, Messrs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.The Company’s corporate governance practices do not differ from those followed by domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market other thandisclosed below.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) requires each issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer’s fiscal yearend. However, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of ListingRule 5600, provided that such foreign private issuer discloses in its annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that it does not follow anddescribes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. We follow home country practice with respect to annual meetings and did not hold anannual shareholder meeting in the year ended December 31, 2020. We may, however, hold annual shareholder meetings in the future if there are significant issuesthat require shareholders’ approvals.NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Marketprior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities (i) equaling 20% or more of the company’s common stock or voting power for less than the greater of market orbook value (ii) resulting in a change of control of the company; and (iii) which is being issued pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan to be established ormaterially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended. Notwithstanding this general requirement, NASDAQ Listing Rule5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than these shareholder approval requirements. The Cayman Islands do notrequire shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior toentering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected to follow the Company’shome country rules as to such issuances and will not be required to seek shareholder approval prior to entering into such a transaction.ITEM 16H.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and theconsolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.Basis for OpinionThese consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations 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 reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 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 internalcontrol over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion.F2REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated orrequired to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2)involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on theconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the criticalaudit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsDescription of the MatterAs reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and intangible balances amountedto $11,957,839 and $42,716,594, respectively, as at December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizedimpairment of goodwill of $3,619,968 associated with the acquisition of Jiangsu Zhong Chuan Rui You Information and Technology Limited (“Zhong Chuan RuiYou”) in 2014. In addition, intangible assets included patents of $41,869,413 recognized in connection with the acquisition of Superengine Holding Limited(“Superengine”) in 2018. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assetsare tested for impairment when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s annualquantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation required indetermining the fair value of the reporting units and the intangible assets. The fair value estimates related to the Company’s reporting units and the intangible assetswere sensitive to significant assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates, operating margins, working capital rates, royalty rates, and terminal growthrates, which are forwardlooking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. For example, we tested the significantassumptions used to develop the estimate including forecasted revenue growth rates and profitability, discount rates and the completeness and accuracy of the dataused in the calculations. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included,among others, assessing fair value methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlyingdata used by the Company in its analyses. For example, we obtained contracts to support forecasted revenue, and we compared the significant assumptions used bymanagement to current industry, market and economic trends, to historical results of the Company's business and other guideline companies within the sameindustry and to other relevant factors. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unitsand intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We evaluated the independence, qualifications of, and the methodologies employed by,the thirdparty specialist engaged by the Company to assist in estimation of the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets.F3REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONTINUED)Allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivablesDescription of the MatterAt December 31, 2020, the Company’s had gross accounts receivable of $26,941,374 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,960,432, and gross otherreceivables of $16,303,017 offset by an allowance for expected credit losses of $9,189,616. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, theCompany recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of accounts and other receivables. Management measures expected losses on anindividual basis and collectively where similar risk characteristics exist using historical default experience to estimate an allowance. In addition to adjusted historicaldefault, current economic conditions and estimates of forwardlooking information including reasonable and supportable forecasts are also considered. To the extentthat situations and trends arise which are not captured in management’s model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.Auditing management’s estimates of the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables involves a high degree of complexity in testing the model andmodeling assumptions used to derive the segmentation level loss estimates utilized in the allowance calculation. Additionally, in light of the current economicenvironment, auditing the estimate is complex due to the judgments necessary to evaluate management’s qualitative assessments of how to adjust the historicaldefault experience, as well as the macroeconomic forecast to estimate current expected credit losses over the life of the accounts and other receivables.How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the allowance for expected credit losses process, including management’s review and approval ofmodels used to calculate the estimate and the evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of data inputs, assumptions, and outputs of those models.We tested the quantitative model methodology, modeling assumptions, model calculation and clerical accuracy of the segmentation level loss estimates. We testedthe completeness and accuracy of historical data. We evaluated management’s identification of historical loss periods used in the models. We also assessedmanagement’s adjustments to historical loss data and evaluated whether those adjustments were reflective of management’s current expected loss estimates, andconsistent with the underlying supporting documentation for any such quantitative adjustments. We evaluated the inputs used by management in determining thequalitative adjustments for consistency with management’s evaluation framework. We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying portfolio and macroeconomic data considered by management in determining the qualitative adjustments. We also inspected management’s documentation of the evaluation ofadjustments considered for consistency with the underlying data and evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments recorded. We evaluated thereasonableness of the overall allowance estimate, inclusive of the adjustments for qualitative factors, through comparison of historical estimation results to actualrecorded losses.

The Company had incurred losses for the past three years and as ofDecember 31, 2020, net current liabilities of the Company amounted to $61,564,025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue asa going concern.Subsequent to the end of the reporting period in February 2021, the substantial doubt has been alleviated as the Company closed three registered direct offering andreceived net proceeds (including ordinary shares and warrants) of $123.4 million (See Note 18 for details). The Company returned to net current asset positionthereafter.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LKCO, its subsidiaries, including the whollyforeign owned enterprises (“WFOEs”),entities we control by contract and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries,entities controlled by contract and consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, entities controlled by contract andconsolidated VIEs acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective dateof disposal, as appropriate.A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint orremove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial andoperating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. An entity controlled by contract isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have controlling financial interest in the entity. A VIE isrequired to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity holders in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.Suzhou Superengine and its subsidiary, Auhui Superengine are consolidated pursuant to an agreement signed between the legal owners of Suzhou Superengine andZhong Chuan Shi Xun giving all the rights and obligations and control of Suzhou Superengine to Zhong Chuan Shi Xun.To comply with the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership of companies that operate mobile application services, the Company operates in such restrictedservices in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members or founders of the Company. Part ofthe registered capital of these PRC domestic companies was funded by certain management members or founders of the Company. The Company has entered intocertain exclusive business services agreements with these PRC domestic companies, which entitle it to receive a majority of their residual returns and make itobligatory for the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of losses from their activities. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with thosemanagement members or founders, including equity interest pledge agreements of the equity interests held by those management members or founders andexclusive option agreements to acquire the equity interests in these companies when permitted by the PRC laws, rules and regulations.Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company’s significant consolidated VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations such as ZhongChuan Shi Xun and Beijing Botbrain are set forth below:(i)Contracts that give the Company effective control of VIEsExclusive option agreementsThe VIE equity holders have granted the WFOEs exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in the VIEs at an exercise price equal to the higherof (i) the registered capital in the VIEs; and (ii) the minimum price as permitted by applicable PRC laws. Each relevant VIE has further granted the relevantWFOE an exclusive call option to purchase its assets at an exercise price equal to the book value of the assets or the minimum price as permitted byapplicable PRC laws, whichever is higher. The WFOEs may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest or assets, if applicable,under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion ofthe transfer of the equity interest or assets pursuant to the call option. Each WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by the VIE,and the VIE equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in the VIEwhich are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to the VIE, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE. Theexclusive call option agreements remain in effect until the equity interest or assets that are the subject of such agreements are transferred to the WFOEs.F12Equity pledge agreementsPursuant to the relevant equity pledge agreements, the relevant VIE equity holders have pledged all of their interests in the equity of the VIEs as acontinuing first priority security interest in favor of the corresponding WFOEs to secure the performance of obligations by the VIEs and/or the equityholders under the other structure contracts. Each WFOE is entitled to exercise its right to dispose of the VIE equity holders’ pledged interests in the equityof the VIE and has priority in receiving payment by the application of proceeds from the auction or sale of such pledged interests, in the event of anybreach or default under the loan agreement or other structure contracts, if applicable. These equity pledge agreements remain in force for the duration ofthe relevant loan agreement and other structure contracts.(ii)Contracts that enable the Company to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEsExclusive business services agreementsEach relevant VIE has entered into an exclusive business services agreement with the respective WFOE, pursuant to which the relevant WFOE pr
