Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of real estate assets, allocation of development costs and capitalized interest to sold lots, fair value of the investments, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-8

In our property development business, land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot compared to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.

If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot compared to the total size of all lots in the project.

When the Company purchases properties but does not receive the assessment information from the county, the Company allocates the values between land and building based on the data of similar properties. The Company makes appropriate adjustments once the assessment from the county is received. At the same time, any necessary adjustments to depreciation expense are made in the income statement. On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company adjusted $951,349 and $4,791,997 between building and land, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company adjusted depreciation expenses of $17,525 and $0, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company adjusted depreciation expenses of $17,525 and $0, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at the bank and short-term deposits with financial institutions that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Restricted Cash

As a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company was required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loan. The funds were required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full and the loan agreement terminated. On March 15, 2022 approximately $2,300,000 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $300,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. The Company also has an escrow account with M&T Bank to deposit a portion of cash proceeds from lot sales. The funds in the escrow account were specifically to be used for the payment of the loan from M&T Bank. The funds were required to remain in the escrow account for the loan payment until the loan agreement terminates. In May 2022 the funds from this escrow account were released and the account closed. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total balance of these two accounts was $309,450 and $309,219, respectively.

As a condition to the loan agreement with National Australian Bank Limited in conjunction with the Perth project, an Australian real estate development project, the Company was required to maintain AUD$50,000, in a non-interest-bearing account. As of December 31, 2021, the account balance was $36,316. In February 2022 the Company repaid the loan and the funds were subsequently released.

The Company puts money into brokerage accounts specifically for equity investment. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cash balance in these brokerage accounts was $417,352 and $385,304, respectively.

Investments held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2023 the Company had approximately $21.0 million, in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account are subject to redemption by investors of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. (“SPAC”).

F-9

Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Account receivables is stated at amounts due from buyers, contractors, and all third parties, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of account receivables was $72,299 and $46,522, respectively.

The Company monitors its account receivables balances on a monthly basis to ensure that they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to estimate its allowance for doubtful account receivables. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of the losses expected to be incurred based on specifically identified accounts as well as nonspecific amount, when determined appropriate. Generally, the amount of the allowance is primarily decided by division management’s historical experience, the delinquency trends, the resolution rates, the aging of receivables, the credit quality indicators and financial health of specific customers. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance was $0.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined that total inventory costed $9,743 write off was required and recorded in cost of revenue.

Investment Securities

In the first six months of 2022 the Company invested $100,000 in Class A Shares of Novum Alpha Global Opportunity Digital Asset Fund I SP, a segregated portfolio of Novum Alpha SPC (“Novum Alpha Fund”). This fund invests in long-short digital assets. The Company subscribed in participating shares which are redeemable and non-voting. The Company closed the fund in July 2022 recording $74,827 loss on this investment.

Investment Securities at Cost

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

On September 8, 2020, the Company acquired 1,666 shares, approximately 1.45% ownership, from Nervotec Pte Ltd (“Nervotec”), a private company, at the purchase price of $37,826.

There has been no indication of impairment or changes in observable prices via transactions of similar securities and investments are still carried at cost.

F-11

Equity Method Investment

The Company accounts for equity investment in entities with significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the Group’s pro rata share of income (loss) from investment is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Company’s share of loss in an equity-method investee equals or exceeds its carrying value of the investment in that entity, the equity method investment can be reduced below zero based on losses, if the Company either is liable for the obligations of the investee or provides for losses in excess of the investment when imminent return to profitable operations by the investee appears to be assured. Otherwise, the Company does not recognize its share of equity method losses exceeding its carrying amount of the investment, but discloses the losses in the footnotes. Equity-method investment is reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in market value of the investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. In making this determination, factors are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. These include consideration of the intent and ability of the Group to hold investment and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity, justifying the carrying amount of the investment. Impairment losses are recognized in other expense when a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary.

Variable Interest Entity

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, when a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of an entity that is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined in ASC 810, the VIE must be consolidated into the financial statements of the reporting entity. The determination of which owner is the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the rights, obligations, and economic interests of each interest holder in the VIE.

The Company evaluates its interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis and consolidates any VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805 - “Business Combinations”, which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.

F-13

The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately -$1.4 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $7.4 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s policy is to obtain an independent third-party valuation for each major project in the United States as part of our assessment of identifying potential triggering events for impairment. Management may use the market comparison method to value other relatively small projects, such as the project in Perth, Australia, which was completed during the year 2022. In addition to the annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360 – Property Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

The Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Recent Agreements to Sell Lots

The sale of the first 94 lots closed on May 30, 2023. The sale of remaining lots is estimated to close at the end of the year 2023.

Properties under development

Properties under development are properties being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for the Company’s own use, rental or capital appreciation.

Rental Properties

Rental properties are acquired with the intent to be rented to tenants. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company owned 132 homes. The aggregate purchase cost of all the homes is $30,998,258. These homes are located in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas. All of these purchased homes are properties of our rental business.

Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties

The Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building and improvements based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs.

F-14

Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years, respectively, using the straight-line method.

The Company assesses its investments in single-family residential properties for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses during three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenue

ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:

(1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

The following represents the Company’s revenue recognition policies by Segments:

Real Estate

Property Sales

The Company’s main business is land development. The Company purchases land and develops it for building into residential communities. The developed lots are sold to builders (customers) for the construction of new homes. The builders enter into sales contracts with the Company before they take the lots. The prices and timeline are determined and agreed upon in the contracts. The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions and requirements in contracts are met before purchasing the lots. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of the Ballenger project and Black Oak project, which represented approximately 0% and 18% for Ballenger and 86% and 0% for Black Oak, respectively, of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:

●

Identify the contract with a customer.

The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.

●

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.

●

Determine the transaction price.

F-15

The transaction price per lot is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

●

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

Each lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.

●

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations or continuing involvement once title is transferred.

Rental Revenue

The Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection of lease termination fees.

Rent from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Generally, at the end of the lease term, the Company provides the tenant with a one-year renewal option, including mostly the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, subject to rent increases.

The Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented within deferred revenues and other payables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Rental revenue is subject to an evaluation for collectability on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends of the property, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates that it is not probable that we will recover substantially all of the receivable, rental revenue is limited to the lesser of the rental revenue that would be recognized on a straight-line basis (as applicable) or the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Differences between rental revenue recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged to straight-line rent receivable or straight-line rent liability, as applicable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due.

Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments

We have established a front foot benefit (“FFB”) assessment on all of the NVR lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who will pay an upfront lump sum, enabling us to more quickly realize the revenue. The selling prices range from $3,000 to $4,500 per home depending the type of the home. Our total revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1 million. To recognize revenue of the FFB assessment, both our and NVR’s performance obligation have to be satisfied. Our performance obligation is completed once we complete the construction of water and sewer facility and close the lot sales with NVR, which inspects these water and sewer facility prior to close lot sales to ensure all specifications are met. NVR’s performance obligation is to sell homes they build to homeowners. Our FFB revenue is recognized on quarterly basis after NVR closes sales of homes to homeowners. The agreement with these FFB investors is not subject to amendment by regulatory agencies and thus our revenue from the FFB assessment is not either. During the three months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $0 and $9,968 from the FFB assessments, respectively. During the nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $0 and $126,055 from the FFB assessments, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Real Estate

●

Cost of Real Estate Sale

All of the costs of real estate sales are from our land development business. Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.

●

Cost of Rental Revenue

Cost of rental revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with management and leasing fees to our management company, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

Product Direct Sales

The Company’s net sales consist of product sales. The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its members. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refund or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned products. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a member has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product and membership returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $41 and $0, respectively. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1,184 and $42,232 respectively.

●

Annual Membership

The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time upon joining the membership; the fee is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement which is for a one-year period. Before the membership fee is recognized as revenue, it is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue relating to membership was $0 and $21,198 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Starting in 2020 the revenue from sale of membership declined to $0 in 2022. The Company is currently working on a new membership model.

Remaining performance obligations

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no remaining performance obligations or continuing involvement, as all service obligations within the other business activities segment have been completed.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the date of employee termination. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 for the accounting of share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. During the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0 as stock-based compensation expense.

Foreign currency

Functional and reporting currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars (the “reporting currency”).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”), South Korean Won (“KRW”) and Chinese Yuan (CN¥), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

F-18

Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the periods are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

The majority of the Company’s foreign currency transaction gains or losses come from the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans between Singapore entities and U.S. entities. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $198,817 and $132,092 during the three months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $561,345 and $2,617,896 during the nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The foreign currency transactional gains and losses are recorded in operations.

Translation of consolidated entities’ financial statements

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The Company’s entities with functional currency of S$, HK$, AUD, KRW and CN¥, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue, expense, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss).

The Company recorded other comprehensive loss of $1,852,698 from foreign currency translation for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $434,011 gain for the three months ended September 30, 2022, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded other comprehensive loss of $2,940,638 from foreign currency translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $3,729,724 loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $9,067,764 and $11,009,149, respectively.

Capitalized Financing Costs

Financing costs, such as loan origination fee, administration fee, interests, and other related financing costs should be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet, if these financing activities are directly associated with the development of real estate.

Capitalized financing costs are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project. If the allocation of capitalized financing costs based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on an area method, which uses the size of the lots compared to the total project area and allocates costs based on their size.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the capitalized financing costs were $1,225,739 and $3,247,739, respectively.

F-19

Beneficial Conversion Features

The Company evaluates the conversion feature for whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-30. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncement adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires the company acquiring contract assets and contract liabilities obtained in a business combination to recognize and measure them in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. At the acquisition date, the company acquiring the business should record related revenue, as if it had originated the contract. Before the update such amounts were recognized by the acquiring company at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company adopted these requirements prospectively, effective on the first day of the year 2023.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and a modified retrospective approach is required, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. The Company adopted these requirements prospectively, effective on the first day of the year 2023.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company’s line of credit agreement provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Company does not believe that ASU 2020-04 will have significant impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncement not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments.

4. SEGMENTS

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is the CEO. The Company operates in and reports four business segments: real estate, digital transformation technology, biohealth, and other business activities. The Company’s reportable segments are determined based on the services they perform and the products they sell, not on the geographic area in which they operate. The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance based on segment revenue. Costs excluded from segment income (loss) before taxes and reported as “Other” consist of corporate general and administrative activities which are not allocable to the four reportable segments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s segment information for the following balance sheet dates presented, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed periodically for impairment.

The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the period resulted in no impairment losses.

The Amendment increased the Company’s authorized share capital to 250,000,000 common shares and 25,000,000 preferred shares, from 20,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares, respectively.

The Company has designated 6,380 preferred shares as Series A Preferred Stock and 2,132 as Series B Preferred Stock.

Each holder of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to receive the same amount that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock would receive if the Series A Preferred Stock were fully converted into Common Stock.

F-28

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends equal, on an as-if-converted basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) when, as and if paid on shares of Common Stock. Each holder of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to vote equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to receive the same amount that a holder of Series B Preferred Stock would receive if the Series B Preferred Stock were fully converted into Common Stock.

The Company analyzed the Preferred stock and the embedded conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option should be classified as equity.

On February 6, 2023, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) in connection with an offering (the “Offering”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Underwriter”) as the underwriter, relating to an underwritten public offering of 1,727,273 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.20 per share. The Underwriting Agreement provides the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 212,863 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $3.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and the payment of other offering expenses associated with the Offering that are payable by the Company.

The Offering closed on February 8, 2023. The Common Stock was being offered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264234), as well as a prospectus supplement in connection with the Offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On April 11, 2022 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 using a “shelf” registration or continuous offering process. Under this shelf registration process, the Company may, from time to time, sell any combination of the securities (common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units) described in the filed prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total aggregate offering price of $75,000,000.

Class A Common Stock of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its, and its subsidiaries’ common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to possible redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023, the Class A common stock of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. subject to possible redemption in the amount of $20,382,965, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

On May 1, 2023, after the redemptions (for further details on this transaction refer to Note 8. – Related Party Transactions, Consolidation of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.), the Company consolidated Alset Capital. As of September 30, 2023, non-controlling interest of $(844,994) was recorded as temporary equity, since these non-controlling interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 810-10 and ASC 480-10-S99-3A.

Sharing Services Convertible Note

The fair value of the Sharing Services Convertible Note under level 3 category was calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

We assumed dividend yield rate of 0.00% in Sharing Services. The volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Sharing Services’ common stock. Risk-free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

The Sharing Services Convertible Note was redeemed in July 2022.

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value which are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss), including net transfers in and/or out of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Lots Sales Agreement

On November 23, 2015, SeD Maryland Development LLC completed the $15,700,000 acquisition of Ballenger Run, a 197-acre land sub-division development located in Frederick County, Maryland. Previously, on May 28, 2014, the RBG Family, LLC entered into a $15,000,000 assignable real estate sales contract with NVR, by which RBG Family, LLC would facilitate the sale of the 197 acres of Ballenger Run to NVR. On December 10, 2014, NVR assigned this contract to SeD Maryland Development, LLC through execution of an assignment and assumption agreement and entered into a series of lot purchase agreements by which NVR would purchase 443 subdivided residential lots from SeD Maryland Development, LLC. On December 31, 2018, SeD Maryland entered into the Third Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement for Ballenger Run with NVR. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, SeD Maryland will convert the 5.9 acre CCRC parcel to 36 lots (the 28 feet wide villa lot) and sell to NVR. SeD Maryland pursued the required zoning approval to change the number of such lots from 85 to 121, which was approved in July 2019. Subsequently, SeD Maryland Development signed Fourth Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which NVR agreed to purchase all of the new 121 lots.

During the three months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, NVR purchased 0 lots. During the nine months ended on September 30, 2023 and 2022, NVR purchased 0 and 3 lots, respectively. Through September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, NVR had purchased a total of 479 lots.

Certain arrangements for the sale of buildable lots to NVR require the Company to credit NVR with an amount equal to one year of the FFB assessment. Under ASC 606, the credits to NVR are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and accordingly, the amount of the credit was recognized as the reduction of revenue. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the accrued balance due to NVR was $189,475.

The Company leases offices in Bethesda, Maryland, Magnolia, Texas, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and China through leased spaces aggregating approximately 30,000 square feet, under leases expiring on various dates from November 2023 to March 2027. The leases have rental rates ranging from $1,401 to $23,020 per month. Our total rent expense under these office leases was $274,980 and $179,094 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all the leases with terms greater than twelve months. We elected the practical expedient to not recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for lease agreements with terms of 12 months or less. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rates, we estimate our incremental borrowing rates to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our incremental borrowings rates are at a range from 0.35% to 3.9% in 2023 and 2022, which were used as the discount rates. The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.93 years. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023 were $1,695,055 and $1,725,243 respectively. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2022 were $1,614,159 and $1,628,039, respectively.

On February 3, 2022 Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Alset Capital”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by the Company and certain affiliates, closed its initial public offering of 7,500,000 units at $10 per unit. Each unit consisted of one of Alset Capital’s shares of Class A common stock, one-half of one redeemable warrant and one right to receive one-tenth of one share of Class A common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full for an additional 1,125,000 units on February 1, 2022, which closed at the time of the closing of the Offering. As a result, the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering, including the over-allotment, were $86,250,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses.

No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement. The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that (a) the Private Placement Units and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of Alset Capital’s initial business combination except to permitted transferees and (b) the warrants and rights included as a component of the Private Placement Units, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, will be entitled to registration rights, respectively.

Revenue was $990,199 and $721,905 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue was $21,070,983 and $3,600,482 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in property sales from the Black Oak Project in the second quarter of 2023 contributed to higher revenue in this period.

In late 2022 and early 2023, the Company entered into three contracts with builders to sell multiple lots from its Black Oak project. The sales contemplated by these contracts are contingent on certain conditions which the parties to such contracts will need to meet and are expected to generate approximately $22 million of funds from operations, not including certain expenses that the Company will be required to pay. The sale of 335 lots closed in the first six months of 2023 generating approximately $18.1 million revenue.

The Company plans to continue its near-term focus on lot sales to regional and national builders. Funds from such lot sales will substantially improve the Company’s liquidity, strengthen its financial position and meet is working capital requirements.

In May 2023, the Company entered into lease agreement for its model house located in Montgomery County, Texas (AHR Black Oak Lease Agreement”). The revenue from the lease was $6,300 and $10,500 in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2023.

In 2022 the last three homes in the Ballenger Project were sold. In this project, builders were required to purchase a minimum number of lots based on their applicable sale agreements. We collected revenue only from the sale of lots to builders. We are not involved in the construction of homes at the present time.

Income from the sale of Front Foot Benefits (“FFBs”), assessed on Ballenger Run project lots, decreased from $9,968 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $0 in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Income from the sale of FFBs decreased from $126,055 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The decrease of operating expenses of real estate in the first three and nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was mostly caused by the decrease rental related expenses. Increase in expenses in our other businesses is mainly caused by the increase in professional and consulting fees.

Other Income (Expense)

In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had other expense of $14,903,980 compared to other expenses of $ 11,163,538 in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Our real estate assets have decreased to $39,905,237 as of September 30, 2023 from $54,618,729 as of December 31, 2022. This decrease primarily reflects the sale of properties in the Black Oak project.

Our total assets have increased to $157,014,408 as of September 30, 2023 from $153,490,336 as of December 31, 2022 mainly due to increase in cash held in Trust Account after the consolidation of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.

Summary of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

	Nine-months Ended
	2023			2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	8,255,675		$	(28,331,829	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(748,188	)	$	(15,031,318	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	3,408,560		$	5,996,133

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,255,675 in the first nine months of 2023, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $28,331,829 in the same period of 2022. Property sales from the Black Oak project in 2023 were the main reason for the cash provided by operating activities in 2023.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $748,188 in the first nine months of 2023, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $15,031,318 in the same period of 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we invested $734,688 in real estate improvements, issued $1,693,455 in loans to related parties and received $2,675,735 from repayment of related party notes receivable. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we invested $8,479,968 in marketable securities, invested $6,057,493 to purchase real estate properties and $1,082,225 in real estate improvements.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,408,560 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided of $ 5,996,133 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 is caused by the proceeds from stock issuance of $3,433,921. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was primarily caused by the proceeds from stock issuance of $6,213,000.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to the United States and which were approximately $40 million and $51 million on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are the reason for the significant fluctuation of foreign currency transaction Gain or Loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and United States will remain at approximately $40 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations in 2023, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered in the future, the effect will also be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short term.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this exemption.

Seasonality

The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of the year. This may impact the expenses of our subsidiary Alset EHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.
