[10-Q] Alset Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
Alset Inc. (AEI) reported Q3 2025 results showing a small profit driven by non-operating gains. Total revenue was $998,828, and the company posted a loss from operations of $2,578,978. Strong other income of $4,547,503 (including interest income and market gains) led to net income attributable to common stockholders of $1,512,431, or $0.05 per share.
For the nine months ended September 30, revenue was $3,166,093, with a $9,266,557 operating loss and a net loss to common of $15,042,487. Cash and restricted cash totaled $25,567,371 at quarter end, with $25,459,416 in cash.

Management noted that prior substantial doubt about going concern was alleviated based on liquidity and planned cash inflows. Common shares issued and outstanding were 39,102,600 at September 30, 2025.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring
losses from operations. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
Management has evaluated its
plans to address these conditions, including the Company’s current liquidity, expected operating cash inflows, and cash generated
from real estate activities. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in executing its plans or generating sufficient liquidity, and failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as follows:

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 to maintain a minimum of $
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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| F-7 |
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 September 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”), HIPH World Inc. (f.k.a. American Premium Water Corporation and New Electric CV Corporation, “HIPH”), 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.

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.

Investment in Debt Securities
Certain debt securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses (other than impairment losses) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Other debt securities are carried at cost, net of any impairment losses. Realized gains and losses on debt securities are recognized in the net income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its debt securities 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.
Deposits
Deposits represent refundable rental deposits
paid in connection with office and café leases. Deposits are classified as current assets if the related lease agreements are scheduled
to expire within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Deposits associated with leases extending beyond twelve months are classified
as noncurrent assets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $
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 FASB ASC 805 - “Business Combinations”, when 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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
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.
| F-13 |
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 nine months ended September 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.

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.
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 $
| F-15 |
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 loss

Earnings (Loss) per Share
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
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.
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.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the

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.
Property and Equipment
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
| F-17 |
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.

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 nine months ended September 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.

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.

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.
| 3 |
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.
The CODMs do not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets.

The increase of operating expenses in the first nine 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 September 30, 2025, the Company had other income of $4,547,503 compared to other income of $2,433,020 in the three months ended September 30, 2024. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had other expense of $7,068,004 compared to other expense of $954,752 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The loss/gain on foreign exchange transaction is the primary reason for the volatility in these two periods. Foreign exchange transaction gain was $1,448,155 in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,673,699 loss in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Foreign exchange transaction loss was $4,795,345 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,634,713 loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had net loss of $16,382,033 compared to net loss of $6,994,516 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our real estate assets have decreased to $29,889,632 as of September 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 $25,459,416 as of September 30, 2025. Our liabilities decreased from $6,563,126 at December 31, 2024 to $4,711,668 at September 30, 2025. Our total assets have increased to $169,106,722 as of September 30, 2025 from $96,761,977 as of December 31, 2024 mainly due to increase in value of investment securities and purchasing equity investment.
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.
Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive certain developer reimbursements for the Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas projects.
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.

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 Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,997,810 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash used of $21,370,610 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 was from proceeds from issuing common stock of $2,614,983. In that same period, the Company repaid $275,374 of note payable, repurchased its own stock for $420,273 and borrowed $78,474 from commercial loan. The cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 is caused by repayment of $398,000 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2025 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On June 23, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 of its common stock. On September 29, 2025, the Company’s Board approved an increase to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program. As of the date of the amendment, the Company had paid approximately $391,376 in expenses related to the repurchase program, including certain fees. The amendment to the stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to an additional $1,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, subject to market conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors (in addition to the amounts already spent). The total amount authorized under the stock repurchase program is therefore $1,391,376. The entries in column (d) of the table above, reflect the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased as if the additional $1,000,000 had been made available from July 1, 2025. No plan has expired during the period covered by the table. The Company has not determined to terminate any plan, nor does the Company intend to cease making purchases under any such plan.
