Nature
of Operations
Alset
EHome International Inc. (the “Company” or “AEI”), formerly known as HF Enterprises Inc., was incorporated in
the State of Delaware on March 7, 2018 and 1,000
shares of common stock was issued to Chan Heng
Fai, the founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. AEI is a diversified holding company principally engaged in the
development of EHome communities and other real estate, financial services, digital transformation technologies, biohealth activities
and consumer products with operations in the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea. The Company manages
its principal businesses primarily through its subsidiary, Alset International Limited (“Alset International”, f.k.a. Singapore
eDevelopment Limited), a company publicly traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange.
The
Company has four operating segments based on the products and services offered. These include the three principal businesses that
have been the majority of our operations – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well
as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities. At the present time, our financial services activities are reported
under our other business activities. Our biohealth activities include the sale of consumer products.
2. GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations
over the past six months. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $117,799,610
and a loss of $5,082,288
from operations.
As
a result, these conditions may raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern twelve months from the date
of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. However, the Company expects to have high volume of cash in hand and strong
operating cash inflows for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash $59,529,026
and restricted cash $7,396,111
compared to cash $24,965,946
and restricted cash $6,769,533
as of December 31, 2020. SeD Maryland Development
LLC has an $8
million credit line from Manufacturers and Traders
Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) and the loan balance with M&T Bank was $0
as of June 30, 2021. Management has evaluated
the conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and plans to continue borrowing funds from third party
financial institutions in order to meet the operating cash requirements. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the loans
from related party were $5,989,374
and $2,534,281.
Funding the Company’s operations is our first priority, before repaying related party debtors. Therefore, available cash will be
used to fund the Company’s operations before related party debtor repayments. At the same time management will concurrently
work with the related party debtors on a plan to repay the related party loans, which are repayable on demand.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, the revenue from lot sales was approximately $8.5
million and revenue from our biohealth business
was approximately $3.7
million. Furthermore, the Company had not defaulted
on any principal and interest repayment on its loans and borrowings and had repaid one of its bank loans during the year.
As
a result of management’s plans, high volume cash in bank accounts, favorable cash revenue from real estate and biohealth operations
in six months ended on June 30, 2021, and availability of $8
million line of credit under M&T Bank loan
agreement, the Company believes the initial conditions which raised substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern
have been alleviated. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity and the failure
to do so could negatively impact our future operations.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Although
the Company indirectly holds percentage of shares of these entities less than 50%, the subsidiaries of the Company directly hold more
than 50% of shares of these entities, and therefore, they are still consolidated into the Company.

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.
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.
Transactions
between Entities under Common Control
On
March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Chan Heng Fai, the founder, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for four proposed transactions, consisting of (i) purchase of certain warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase 1,500,000,000
shares of Alset International Limited (“Alset
International”), which was valued at $28,363,966;
(ii) purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of LiquidValue Development Pte Ltd. (“LVD”), which was valued at
$173,395;
(iii) purchase of 62,122,908
ordinary shares in True Partner Capital Holding
Limited (HKG: 8657) (“True Partner”), which was valued at $6,729,629;
and (iv) purchase of 4,775,523
shares of the common stock of American Pacific
Bancorp Inc. (“APB”), which was valued at $28,653,138.
The total amount of above four transactions was $63,920,129,
payable on the Closing Date by the Company, in the convertible promissory notes (“Alset CPNs”), which, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Alset CPNs and the Company’s shareholder approval, shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s
common stock (“AEI Common Stock”), par value $0.001
per share, at the conversion price of AEI’s
Stock Market Price. AEI’s Stock Market Price shall be $5.59
per share, equivalent to the average of the five
closing per share prices of AEI’s Common Stock preceding January 4, 2021 as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. The above four acquisitions
from Chan Heng Fai are transactions between entities under common control.
On
October 15, 2020, American Pacific Bancorp (which subsequently became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into an acquisition
agreement to acquire 3,500,001
common shares of HengFeng Finance Limited (“HFL”),
representing 100%
of the common shares of HFL, in consideration for $1,500,000,
to be satisfied by the issuance and allotment of 250,000
shares of the Class A Common Stock of American Pacific
Bancorp. HFL is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. The principal activities of HFL are money lending, securities trading
and investment. This transaction closed on April 21, 2021. This transaction between the Company and Chan Heng Fai is under common control
of Chan Heng Fai.
The
common control transactions resulted in the following basis of accounting for the financial reporting periods:
|
●
|
The
acquisition of the Warrants and True Partner stock were accounted for prospectively as of March 12, 2021 and they did not represent
a change in reporting entity.
|
|
●
|
The
acquisition of LVD, APB and HFL were under common control and is consolidated
in accordance with ASC 850-50. The consolidated financial statements were retrospectively
adjusted for the acquisition of LVD, APB and HFL, and the operating results of LVD,
APB and HFL as of January 1, 2020 for comparative purposes.
|
AEI’s
stock price was $10.03
on March 12, 2021, the commitment date. The Beneficial
Conversion Feature (“BCF”) intrinsic value was $50,770,192
for the four convertible promissory notes and
was recorded as debt discount of convertible notes after these transactions. The debt discount attributable to the BCF is amortized over
period from issuance to the date that the debt becomes convertible using the effective interest method. If the debt is converted, the
discounted is amortized to finance cost in full immediately. On May 13, 2021 and June 14, 2021 all Alset CPNs of $63,920,128
and accrued interests of $306,438
were converted into 2,123
shares of series B preferred stock and
9,163,965
shares of common stock of the Company.
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 June 30, 2021 and December
31, 2020.
Restricted
Cash
As
a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company is required
to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000
in an interest-bearing account maintained by
the lender as additional security for the loans. These funds are required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan
is paid off in full and the loan agreement is terminated. 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 are specifically used for the payment of the loan from
M&T Bank. These funds are required to remain in the escrow account for the loan payment until the loan agreement terminates.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total balance of these two accounts was $4,757,477
and $5,729,067,
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 is required to maintain Australian Dollar 50,000,
in a non-interest-bearing account. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the account balance was $37,540
and $38,550,
respectively. These funds will remain as collateral for the loans until paid in full.
The
Company puts money into brokerage accounts specifically for equity investment. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cash balance
in these brokerage accounts was $2,601,096
and $1,001,916,
respectively.
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
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of account receivables was $1,180,881
and $1,366,194,
respectively. Approximately $1
million and $1.3
million of account receivables as of June 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was from DSS with a merchant agreement, under which the Company uses DSS credit card platform
to collect money from our direct sales.
The
Company monitors its account receivables balances monthly 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance was $0.
Inventories
Inventories
are 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, inventory consisted
of finished goods from HWH World Inc. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions
required to write-down inventories to net realizable value.

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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value of the investment.
The
Company had an equity holding in Vivacitas Oncology Inc. (“Vivacitas”), a private company that is currently not listed on
an exchange. We measure Vivacitas at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly
transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Our ownership in Vivacitas was sold on March 18, 2021
to DSS for $2,480,000.

Investment
Securities under Equity Method Accounting
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 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 Company continues to report its share of equity method losses in the
statements of comprehensive income to the extent and as an adjustment to the carrying amount of its other investments in the investee.
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.
American
Medical REIT Inc.

Sweet
Sense, Inc.
BioLife
Sugar, Inc. (“BioLife’), a subsidiary consolidated under Alset International, entered into a joint venture agreement on April
25, 2018 with Quality Ingredients, LLC (“QI”). The agreement created an entity called Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”)
which is 50%
owned by BioLife and 50%
owned by QI. Management believes its 50%
investment represents significant influence over Sweet Sense and accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting.
On
November 8, 2019, Impact BioMedical Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, purchased 50%
of Sweet Sense from QI for $91,000
and recorded a loss from acquisition of
$90,001.
As of November 8, 2019, the total investment in joint venture was equal to $91,000
and the proportionate losses totaled $90,001.

of a business combination. As an asset acquisition, the Company recorded the transaction at cost and applied ASC 730 to expense in-process
research and development cost, the major cost of Sweet Sense. Consequently, Sweet Sense was an 81.8%
owned subsidiary of Impact BioMedical Inc. and therefore, was consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2020. As a subsidiary of Impact BioMedical Inc., Sweet Sense was in the discontinued operations of Impact BioMedical

exchanges.
Investment
in Debt Securities
Debt
securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses (other than impairment losses) recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss. Realized gains and losses on debt securities are recognized in the net income in the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including,
but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends
and other company-specific information.
The
Company invested $50,000
in a convertible promissory note of Sharing Services,
Inc. (“Sharing Services Convertible Note”), a company quoted on the US OTC market. The value of the convertible note was
estimated by management using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the note was $29,069
and $66,978
on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
On
February 26, 2021, the Company invested approximately $88,599
in the convertible note of Vector Com Co., Ltd
(“Vector Com”), a private company in South Korea. The interest rate is 2%

years. The conversion price is approximately
$21.26,
per common share of Vector Com. As of June 30, 2021, the Management estimated that the fair value of the note to be $88,599,
the initial transaction price.
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.
The
Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $0.2
million and $3.7
million for the three months ended June 30,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $1.4
million and $6.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020, 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. 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 six months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020.
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. On March 15, 2021 and May 11, 2021 Alset EHome, Inc. signed purchase
agreements to acquire 30 homes in Montgomery County, Texas. By June 30, 2021, all of the 30 homes were closed for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,825,907.
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, improvements and existing leases 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.
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 the six months ended on June 30, 2021.
Revenue
Recognition and Cost of Sales
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 a sales contract with the Company
before they take the lots. The prices and timeline are determined and agreed upon in the contract. 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, which represented approximately 70%
and 99%,
respectively, of the Company’s revenue in the six months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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.
|
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,
the Company’s leases provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options, 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 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 six months ended June 30,
2021, the Company didn’t 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 realize the revenue more quickly. The selling prices range from $3,000
to $4,500
per home depending on the type of the home. Our
total revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1
million. To recognize revenue of FFB assessment,
both our and NVR’s performance obligation must 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 FFB assessment is not either. During the three months ended on June 30, 2021
and 2020, we recognized revenue $and $from FFB assessment, respectively. During the
six months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue $and $from FFB assessment, respectively.
Cost
of Sales
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.
Biohealth
Product
Direct Sales
The
Company’s net sales consist of product sales. The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer its products to its third-party
independent distributors (“Distributors”). The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is shipped to its Distributors.
The
Company’s Distributors may receive distributor allowances, which are comprised of discounts, rebates and wholesale commission payments
from the Company. Distributor allowances resulting from the Company’s sales of its products to its Distributors are recorded against
net sales because the distributor allowances represent discounts from the suggested retail price.
In
addition to distributor allowances, the Company compensates its sales leader Distributors with leadership incentives for services rendered,
relating to the development, retention, and management of their sales organizations. Leadership incentives are payable based on achieved
sales volume, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The Company recognizes revenue when it ships products. The Company
receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.
If
a Distributor returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, he/she may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned
products. In addition, the Company maintains a buyback program pursuant to which it will repurchase products sold to a Distributor who
has decided to leave the business. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with the Company’s buyback program,
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.
Annual
Membership
The
Company collects an annual membership fee from its Distributors. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time of joining the membership
and non-refundable. The membership provides the member access to purchase products at a discount, use to certain back-office services,
receive commissions for signing up new members, and attend corporate events. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the membership
over the period of the membership. Before the membership fee is recognized as revenue, it is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue
relating to membership was $2,919,283
and $2,867,226
at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Other
Businesses
Remaining
performance obligations
As
of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no
remaining performance obligations or continuing
involvement, as all service obligations within the other business activities segment have been completed.
Foreign
currency
Functional
and reporting currency
Items
included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars
(the “reporting currency”).
The
functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the
Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea are maintained in their local currencies, the
Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”) and South Korean Won (“KRW”), which
are also the functional currencies of these entities.
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 $958,334
and $796,709
loss during the three months ended on June 30,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $2,421,031
and $1,463,773
during the six months ended on June 30, 2021
and 2020, 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 Singapore Dollar, Hong Kong
Dollar, AUD and KRW, 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).
For
the three months ended on June 30, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation of $1,070,191
and a $626,872
gain in the three months ended June 30, 2020,
in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the six months ended on June 30, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from
foreign currency translation of $2,839,631
and a $1,047,149
loss in the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately
from equity attributable to owners of the Company.
On
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $28,114,184
and $38,023,260,
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 estates.
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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the capitalized financing costs were $3,257,033
and $3,513,535,
respectively.
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

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting
pronouncement not yet adopted
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 is currently
evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its future consolidated financial statements.
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, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its future consolidated
financial statements.

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. At the present time, our financial services activities
are reported under our other business activities. Our biohealth revenues include the sale of consumer products. 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 six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

In
November 2015, SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“SeD Maryland”) entered into lot purchase agreements with NVR, Inc. (“NVR”)
relating to the sale of single-family home and townhome lots to NVR in the Ballenger Run Project. The purchase agreements were amended
three times thereafter. Based on the agreements, NVR is entitled to purchase 479
lots for a price of approximately $64,000,000,
which escalates 3%
annually after June 1, 2018.
As
part of the agreements, NVR was required to give a deposit in the amount of $5,600,000.
Upon the sale of lots to NVR, 9.9%
of the purchase price is taken as payback of the deposit. A violation of the agreements by NVR would cause NVR to forfeit the deposit.
On January 3, 2019 and April 28, 2020, NVR gave SeD Maryland two more deposits in the amounts of $100,000
and $220,000,
respectively, based on the 3rd Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement. On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were $541,349
and $1,262,336
held on deposit, respectively.

M&T
Bank Loan
On
April 17, 2019, SeD Maryland Development LLC entered into a Development Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T
Bank”) in the principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the sum of $8,000,000,
with a cumulative loan advance amount of $18,500,000.
The
line of credit bears interest rate on LIBOR plus 375 basis points. SeD
Maryland Development LLC was also provided with a Letter of Credit (“L/C”) Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $900,000.
The L/C commission will be 1.5%
per annum on the face amount of the L/C. Other standard lender fees will apply in the event L/C is drawn down. The loan is a revolving
line of credit. The L/C Facility is not a revolving loan, and amounts advanced and repaid may not be re-borrowed. Repayment of the Loan
Agreement is secured by $2,600,000
collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to
the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland. As of June 30, 2021, the
outstanding balance of the revolving loan was $0.
As part of the transaction, the Company incurred loan origination fees and closing fees in the amount of $381,823
and capitalized it into construction in process.
On
June 18, 2020, Alset EHome Inc. (“Alset EHome”), a wholly owned subsidiary of LiquidValue Development Inc., entered into
a Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (the “Lender”).
Pursuant
to the Loan Agreement, the Lender provided a non-revolving loan to Alset EHome in an aggregate amount of up to $2,990,000
(the “Loan”). The line of credit
bears interest rate on LIBOR plus 375 basis points. Repayment of the Loan is secured by a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property
owned by certain subsidiaries of Alset EHome. The maturity date of this Loan is July
1, 2022. LiquidValue Development Inc. and one
of its subsidiaries are guarantors of this Loan. The guarantors are required to maintain during the term of the loan a combined minimum
net worth in an aggregate amount equal to not less than $20,000,000.
The Company was in compliance with this covenant as of December 31, 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020 Alset EHome borrowed $664,810
from M&T Bank, incurring at the same time
a loan origination fees of $61,679
which were amortized over the term of the loan.
As of December 31, 2020, the remaining unamortized debt discount was $42,906.
The loan in the amount of $664,810,
together with all accrued interests of $25,225,
was paid off on May 28, 2021. The loan was closed in June 2021. Additionally, the debt discount of $42,907
was fully amortized during the six months ended
June 30, 2021.
Paycheck
Protection Program Loan
On
February 11, 2021, the Company entered into a five
year note with M&T Bank with a principal amount
of $68,502
pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP
Term Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced
by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%,
with the first sixteen months of principal and interest deferred or until we apply for the loan forgiveness. The PPP Term Note may be
accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
The
PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to M&T Bank for
forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to at least 60%
of payroll costs and other eligible payments incurred by the Company, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this
time, we are not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Term Note that will be forgiven. As of June 30, 2021, we owed
$68,502
to M&T Bank.
Australia
Loan
On
January 7, 2017, SeD Perth Pty Ltd (“SeD Perth”) entered into a loan agreement with National Australian Bank Limited (the
“Australia Loan”) for the purpose of funding land development. The loan facility provides SeD Perth with access to funding
of up to approximately $460,000
and matures on December
31, 2018. The Australia Loan is secured by both
the land under development and a pledged deposit of $35,276.
This loan is denominated in AUD. Personal guarantees amounting to approximately $500,000 have been provided by our CEO, Chan Heng Fai
and by Rajen Manicka, the CEO of Holista CollTech and Co-founder of iGalen Inc. The interest rate on the Australia Loan is based on the
weighted average interest rates applicable to each of the business markets facility components as defined within the loan agreement,
ranging from 4.12%
to 4.86%
per annum for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and from 4.36%
to 5.57%
per annum for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On September 7, 2017 the Australia Loan was amended to reduce the maximum borrowing
capacity to approximately $179,000.
During 2020, the terms of the Australia Loan were amended to reflect an extended maturity date of April
30, 2022. This was accounted for as a debt modification.
The Company did not pay fees to the National Australian Bank Limited for the modification of the loan agreement.

any portion of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, pro rata among all holders, at a redemption price per share
equal to such liquidation value per share.
Under
ASU 2014-08, a disposal transaction meets the definition of a discontinued operation if all of the following criteria are met:
|
1.
|
The
disposal group constitutes a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity.
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
The
component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) meets the held-for-sale classification criteria, is disposed of by sale,
or is disposed of other than by sale (e.g., “by abandonment, in an exchange measured based on the recorded amount of the nonmonetary
asset relinquished, or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff”).
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
The
disposal of a component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) “represents a strategic shift that has (or will
have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results”.
|
Impact
BioMedical Inc and its subsidiaries have financial reporting. The transaction is a disposal by sale and has a major effect on our financial
results. Since it meets all of the test criteria set forth above, we have treated this disposal transaction as a discontinued operations
in our consolidated financial statements.
On
August 21, 2020, the transaction closed and Impact BioMedical Inc became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DBHS. GBM received 483,334
shares of DSS common stock and 46,868
shares of DSS preferred stock, which preferred shares could
be converted to 7,232,716
common shares (however, any conversion will be subject
to the blocker GBM has agreed to, as described above). After this transaction, we held 500,001
shares of the common stock of DSS, representing 9.7%
of the outstanding common stock of DSS. Our CEO, Chan Heng Fai owned an additional 14.5%
of the common stock of DSS (not including any common or preferred shares we held) and is the executive chairman of the board of directors
of DSS. The Company has elected the fair value option for the DSS common stock that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines the fair value of the financial assets. We value DSS common
stock under level 1 category through quoted prices and preferred stock under level 2 category through the value of the common shares
into which the preferred shares are convertible. The quoted price of DSS common stock was $6.95
as of August 21, 2020. The total fair value of DSS common
and preferred stocks GBM received as consideration for the disposal of Impact BioMedical was $53,626,548.
As of August 21, 2020, the net asset value of Impact BioMedical was $57,143.
The difference of $53,569,405
was recorded as additional paid in capital. We did not
recognize gain or loss from this transaction as it was a related party transaction.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0
and $361,385,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0
and $361,385,
respectively.
On
October 16, 2020, GBM converted an aggregate of 4,293
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 662,500
shares of the common stock of DSS. On May 25, 2021 and
again on June 21, 2021, GBM converted an aggregate of 42,575
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 6,570,170
shares of the common stock of DSS. We now own approximately
11.8%
of the common stock of DSS, and our CEO, Chan Heng Fai, owns an additional 3.1%
of the common stock of DSS (not including any common shares we hold).

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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, NVR purchased 31
lots and 19
lots, respectively. During the six months ended
on June 30, 2021 and 2020, NVR purchased 58
lots and 46
lots, respectively. Through June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, NVR had purchased a total of 446
and 388
lots, 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 less than 12 months. 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 3.9% in 2021 and at a range from 0.5% to 4.5% per annum in 2020, which were
used as the discount rates. The balances of operating
lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2021 were $728,828
and $741,915,
respectively. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were $574,754
and $574,754,
respectively.
The
table below summarizes future payments due under these leases as of June 30, 2021.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Public
Offering
On
July 27, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp.,
as the sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an
underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 5,324,139
shares of common stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Common Stock”), at
a price to the public of $2.12
per share of Common Stock and (ii) 9,770,200
pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”)
to purchase 9,770,200
shares of Common Stock, at a price to the public
of $2.11
per Pre-funded Warrant. The Offering closed on
July 30, 2021.
The
Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 2,264,150
additional shares of Common Stock. The Company
also paid the Underwriters an underwriting discount equal to 7.0%
of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a non-accountable expense fee equal to 1.5%
of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the representative warrants (the “Representative’s
Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares equal to 3.0%
of the aggregate number of shares (including shares underlying the Pre-funded Warrants) sold under in the Offering, or warrants to purchase
up to an aggregate of 520,754
shares, assuming the Underwriters exercise their
over-allotment option in full. The Representative’s Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125%
of the public offering price, or $2.65
per share, with an exercise period of 24 months
from issuance.
The
Company and its directors and executive officers also agreed that, for a period of one (1) year and ninety (90) days, respectively, after
the date of the offering, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of
the Underwriters, (a) offer, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company
or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; or (b) file or caused to
be filed any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the offering of any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock
of the Company.
The
Pre-funded Warrants were offered and sold to purchasers whose purchase of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in the
purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99%
(or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation
of the Offering in lieu of Common Stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of
the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%).
Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01
per share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately
exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full.
The
net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $28.8
million, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and the payment of other estimated offering expenses associated with the Offering that are payable by the Company. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the following purposes: (i) to fund possible acquisitions of new companies
and additional properties; (ii) to fund the further development of properties, including services and infrastructure; (iii) to develop
rental opportunities at properties; (iv) to exercise warrants of our subsidiaries to accomplish the items in (i) – (iii); and (v)
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
A
registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the Offering was declared effective by the SEC on July 27, 2021.
As
of August 16, 2021 investors who purchased the pre-funded warrants in this offering exercised 6,461,800
warrants to purchase 6,461,800
shares of the Company’s common stock and
the Company received $64,618
from these exercises.
Series
A Warrants exercise
From
July 1, 2021 through August 16, 2021 investors who purchased Series A Warrants in the Company’s May 2021 offering exercised
warrants to purchase 98,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. The
Company received $496,860
from these exercises.
