Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Alset
Inc. (the “Company” or “AEI”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2018. AEI is a diversified
holding company principally engaged through its subsidiaries 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, South Korea, and the People’s Republic of China. We manage a significant portion of our businesses through
our
The Company has four operating segments based on the products and services we offer, which include three of our principal businesses – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim periods or for any other future years. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
| F-5 |
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the following entities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as follows:
SCHEDULE OF SUBSIDIARIES
| Name of subsidiary | State or other jurisdiction of | Attributable interest as of, | ||||||||
| consolidated under AEI | incorporation or organization | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| % | % | |||||||||
| * | ||||||||||
| * | * | |||||||||
| * | ||||||||||
| * |
| F-6 |
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company disposed of few subsidiaries which had no or very minimal activities. The disposal of these entities had immaterial effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and their deconsolidation did not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations under ASC 205-20.
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 would be allocated based on area method.
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.
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.

Restricted Cash
As
a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company was required

Account Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
Account
receivables is recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and does not bear interest. The allowance for credit
losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing account receivables.
The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses
includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers
(including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer
creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables
when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Account receivables considered
uncollectible are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered
remote. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was an immaterial amount. The Company does not have
any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of account receivables
was $
Other Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
Other receivables include developer reimbursements for Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas projects. The Company records an allowance for credit losses based on previous collection experiences, the creditability of the organizations that are supposed to reimburse us, the forecasts from the third-party engineering company, and Moody’s credit ratings. The allowance amount for these reimbursements was immaterial at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
On
January 9, 2024, the Company sold shares of HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) to two investors ( shares to
each). The consideration for each of the two purchases of stock was $
| F-8 |
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory consisted of finished goods from subsidiaries of HWH International Inc. and Hapi Metaverse Inc. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventories to net realizable value.
Investment Securities
Investment Securities at Fair Value
The Company commonly holds investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, equity investments without readily determinable fair values, investments accounted for under the equity method, and investments at cost. Certain of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities and other securities are long-term, strategic investments in companies that are in various stages of development.
The Company accounts for certain of its investments in equity securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825- 10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company records all equity investments with readily determinable fair values at fair value calculated by the publicly traded stock price at the close of the reporting period.
The Company has a portfolio of trading securities. The objective is to generate profits on short-term differences in market prices. The Company does not have significant influence over any trading securities in our portfolio and fair value of these trading securities are determined by quoted stock prices.
The Company has elected the fair value option for the equity securities noted below that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. DSS, Inc. (“DSS”), American Premium Water Corporation (“APW”, d.b.a. New Electric CV Corporation, “NECV”), Value Exchange International Inc. (“VEII”), Sharing Services Global Corp. (“SHRG”) and Impact Biomedical Inc. (“Impact”) are publicly traded companies and their fair value is determined by quoted stock prices.

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 similar investments 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, recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equals to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

There has been no indication of impairment or changes in observable prices via transactions of similar securities in the remaining investments and these remaining investments are still carried at cost.
Equity Method Investment
The Company accounts for equity investments in entities with significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the Company’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. 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 Company 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.

Realized gains and losses on debt securities are recognized in the net income in the condensed 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.

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 $

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. 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.

properties are acquired with the intent to be rented to tenants. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owned 132 homes.
The aggregate purchase cost of all the homes is $
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.
Building
improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately
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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Rental of Model Houses
In May 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement for one of its model houses located in Montgomery County, Texas. The lease was terminated in February 2025. Management intends to procure a new tenant to occupy the premises after the office used for real estate sales is converted back to a garage.

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.
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.
| F-13 |
The following represents the Company’s revenue recognition policies by Segments:
Real Estate
Property Sales
Part
of the Company’s real estate 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. 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. 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 Lakes at Black Oak project, which represented approximately
| ● | 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. Revenue is recognized at a point in time.
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.
| F-14 |
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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due.
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.
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 comparing to the total size 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.
Other Businesses
| ● | Food and Beverage |
The Company, through Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd. (“Alset F&B One”) and Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“Alset F&B PLQ”) each acquired a restaurant franchise licenses at the end of 2021 and 2022, respectively, both of which have since commenced operations. These licenses allow Alset F&B One and Alset F&B PLQ each to operate a Killiney Kopitiam restaurant in Singapore. Killiney Kopitiam, founded in 1919, is a Singapore-based chain of mass-market, traditional kopitiam style service cafes selling traditional coffee and tea, along with a range of local delicacies such as Curry Chicken, Laksa, Mee Siam, and Mee Rebus.

Deferred Revenue
The
Company recognizes deferred revenue when payments are received in advance of fulfilling its performance obligations. Deferred revenue
at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $
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. During the three and six months ended on June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $ as stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and Administrative expenses on the Company’s income statement. The fair value of stock-based compensation was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance. During the three and six months ended on June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $ 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, South Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”), South Korean Won (“KRW”), Chinese Yuan (CN¥) and Taiwan Dollar (“NT$”), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.
| F-16 |
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 loss of $
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, CN¥ and NT$, 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 gain of $
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. At June 30, 2025, there were potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. At December 31, 2024 there were potentially dilutive warrants outstanding.
Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for both periods presented, as all potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss in both periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; therefore, the inputs are developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that the Company expects a market participant would use, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.
| F-17 |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The liabilities in connection with the conversion and make-whole features included within certain of the Company’s notes payable and warrants are each classified as a level 3 liability.
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
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Real Estate
Our policy is to annually obtain an independent third-party valuation for each major project in the United States to identify triggering events for impairment. Our management may use a market comparison method to value other relatively small projects. In addition to the annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360 – Property Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), we apply 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.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if the 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.
Loans and Investments
The Company evaluates loans and investments for impairment at each reporting date. For loans, impairment is recognized when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. For investments, an impairment loss is recorded if the decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary. Impairment losses are measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value, with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
| F-18 |
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 December 31, 2024, the Company sold all of its lots and therefore did not capitalize any financing costs.
Related Party Transactions
The Company accounts for related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 Related Party Disclosures. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU 2023-09’s amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

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 makers (the “CODMs”), or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the two Co-CEOs, who review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole. The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODMs review and assess performance. The Company has four operating segments based on the products and services we offer, which include three of our principal businesses – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities. In determination of segments, the Company, together with its CODMs, considers factors that include the nature of business activities, allocation of resources and management structure.
The primary financial measures used by the CODMs to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODMs use net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on net income (loss) and operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODMs on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 CODMs do not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets.
The following table summarizes the Company’s segment information for the following balance sheet dates presented, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Convertible Loan Receivables
The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan receivables at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reclassified “Investment in securities at fair value – related party,” “Investment in security at cost,” “Investment in equity method securities” and some of “Convertible Loan Receivables at Fair Value – Related Party” from current assets to noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet based on management’s assessment of the expected holding period. This change in classification had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, or shareholders’ equity.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate, competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors, technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.
Business Overview
We are a diversified holding company principally engaged through our subsidiaries 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, South Korea and the People’s Republic of China. We manage a significant portion of our three principal businesses through our 85.8% owned subsidiary, Alset International Limited, a public company traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Through this subsidiary (and indirectly, through other public and private U.S. and Asian subsidiaries), we are actively developing real estate projects near Houston, Texas in our real estate segment. In our digital transformation technology segment, we focus on serving business-to-business (B2B) needs in e-commerce, collaboration and social networking functions. Our biohealth segment includes the sale of consumer products. Alset Inc. and Alset International Limited collectively own 73.3% of HWH International Inc. (described in further detail below). We also have certain wholly owned subsidiaries that collectively own 132 single family residential rental properties in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas.
We also hold minority ownership interests, including a 36.9% equity interest in American Pacific Financial, Inc., formerly known as American Pacific Bancorp Inc. (“APF”), a 43.6% equity interest in DSS Inc. (“DSS”), an indirect 45.8% equity interest in Value Exchange International Inc. (“VEII”), a 0.5% equity interest in American Premium Water Corporation (“APW”, d.b.a. New Electric CV Corporation, “NECV”), and a 29% equity interest in Sharing Services Global Corporation (“SHRG”). APF is a financial network holding company. DSS is a multinational company operating businesses with five divisions: product packaging, biotechnology, direct marketing, commercial lending, and securities and investment management. DSS Inc. is listed on the NYSE American (NYSE: DSS). Value Exchange International, Inc. is a provider of information technology services for businesses, and is traded on the OTC Markets.

Sharing Services Global Corporation is traded on the OTC Markets.
| 3 |
We generally acquire majority and/or control stakes in innovative and promising businesses that are expected to appreciate in value over time. Our emphasis is on building businesses in industries where our management team has in-depth knowledge and experience, or where our management can provide value by advising on new markets and expansion. We have at times provided a range of global capital and management services to these companies in order to gain access to Asian markets. We have historically favored businesses that improve an individual’s quality of life or that improve the efficiency of businesses through technology in various industries. We believe our capital and management services provide us with a competitive advantage in the selection of strategic acquisitions, which creates and adds value for our Company and our stockholders.
Additionally, the Company operates a portfolio of trading securities with the objective of generating profits from short-term fluctuations in market prices. The portfolio is actively managed, and securities are bought and sold with the intent to realize gains from price movements within a short-term horizon.
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 makers (the “CODMs”), or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the two Co-CEOs, who review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole. The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODMs review and assess performance. The Company has four operating segments based on the products and services we offer, which include three of our principal businesses – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities. In determination of segments, the Company, together with its CODMs, considers factors that include the nature of business activities, allocation of resources and management structure.

Revenue was $1,098,962 and $1,127,046 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue was $2,167,265 and $7,213,253 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in revenue is mainly caused by the fact that the remaining properties in the Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas projects were sold in 2024.
In late 2022 and early 2023, the Company entered into three contracts with builders to sell multiple lots from its Lakes at Black Oak project. The sales contemplated by these contracts were contingent on certain conditions which the parties to such contracts had to meet and were expected to generate approximately $23 million of funds from operations, not including certain expenses that the Company was required to pay. The sale of 335 lots closed in the first six months of 2023 generating approximately $18.1 million revenue. The sale of remaining lots closed on January 4, 2024 generating approximately $5.0 million revenue.
Revenue from rental business was $716,042 and $705,011 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from rental business was $1,433,847 and $1,425,505 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company expects that the revenue from this business will continue to increase as we acquire more rental houses and successfully rent them.
The category described as “Other” includes corporate and financial services, food and beverage business, digital transformation technology, and new venture businesses. “Other” includes certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including administrative functions not allocated to the reportable segments from global functional expenses.
The financial services, food and beverage businesses and new venture businesses are small and diversified, and accordingly they are not separately addressed as one independent category. In the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the revenue from other businesses was $382,920 and $422,035, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the revenue from other businesses was $733,418 and $755,248, respectively, generated by Korean, Singaporean and Chinese café shops and restaurants.

The increase of operating expenses in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was mostly caused by the bonus paid to CEO.
Other Income (Expense)
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had other expense of $6,085,681 compared to other income of $1,659,507 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had other expense of $11,615,507 compared to other expense of $3,387,772 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The loss/gain on foreign exchange transaction is the primary reason for the volatility in these two periods. Foreign exchange transaction loss was $4,834,398 in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $845,350 gain in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Foreign exchange transaction loss was $6,243,500 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,038,986 gain in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net Loss
In the three months ended June 30, 2025 the Company had net loss of $8,841,142 compared to net loss of $1,149,965 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had net loss of $18,346,034 compared to net loss of $8,463,756 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our real estate assets have decreased to $30,158,311 as of June 30, 2025 from $30,695,669 as of December 31, 2024. This decrease reflects depreciation expenses on the rental properties.
Our cash has decreased from $27,243,787 as of December 31, 2024 to $25,584,862 as of June 30, 2025. Our liabilities decreased from $6,563,126 at December 31, 2024 to $4,738,149 at June 30, 2025. Our total assets have decreased to $86,011,525 as of June 30, 2025 from $96,761,977 as of December 31, 2024 mainly due to decrease in cash and value of investment securities.
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 bore 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 is 1.5% per annum on the face amount of the L/C. Other standard lender fees apply in the event the 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 a $2,600,000 collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland. On March 15, 2022, approximately $2,300,000 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $300,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. On December 14, 2023 approximately $201,751 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $100,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit.
On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into two Contracts for Purchase and Sale and Escrow Instructions (each an “Agreement,” collectively, the “Agreements”) with Century Land Holdings of Texas, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms of one of the aforementioned Agreements, the Seller agreed to sell approximately 142 single-family detached residential lots comprising a section of a residential community in the Lakes at Black Oak. The selling price of these lots was anticipated to equal approximately $7.4 million. Pursuant to the other Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell 63 single-family detached residential lots in the city of Magnolia, Texas. In 2021, our subsidiary Alset EHome Inc. acquired approximately 19.5 acres of partially developed land near Houston, Texas which was used to develop a community named Alset Villas. Alset EHome was in the process of developing the 63 lots at Alset Villas in 2023. The closing of the transactions described above depended on the satisfaction of certain conditions. On July 1, 2024, the Seller closed the sale of 70 of the lots contemplated by that certain Agreement, generating approximately $3.8 million. The sale of the remaining 72 lots at Lakes at Black Oak closed on October 10, 2024 generating approximately $3.9 million. The sale of 63 lots at Alset Villas closed on December 16, 2024 generating approximately $3.8 million.
The Company is entitled to receive certain developer reimbursements for the Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas projects. The Company expects that approximately $8 million of the receivable will be collected within the next twelve months.
The management believes that the available cash in bank accounts and favorable cash revenue from real estate projects are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $6,374,812 in the first six months of 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5,897,249 in the same period of 2024. Purchase of trading securities and paying off payables in 2025 were the main reason for the cash used in operating activities in that period.
| 12 |
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $19,616,855 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided of $1,675,912 in the six months ended June 30, 2025. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued $910,193 in loans to related parties and spent $144,842 to purchase fixed assets. At the same time, we received $117,804 from repayment of related party loan and $2,613,143 from the sale of securities of a related party. In the six months ended June 30, 2024 issued $1,118,864 in loans to related parties and $577,285 in loans receivable. At the same time, we received $101,096 from repayment of related party loan and withdrew cash from trust account of $21,102,871 for redemption of HWH’s shares.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,326,244 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash used of $21,351,570 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2025 was from proceeds from issuing common stock of $2,614,983. In that same period, the Company repaid $261,097 of note payable and repurchased its own stock for $27,642. The cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2024 is caused by repayment of $378,960 of note payable and repayment of HWH’s shares of $21,102,871. In that same period, the Company borrowed $130,261 from commercial loan.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 $30 million and $30 million on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 $30 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations in 2025, 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 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.
